This weight presses upon me every day. I am flooded with stories. There are so many I cannot remember them all; cannot keep straight who was gassed, beaten, abducted, or shot. I write to leave a record, to stare at the track of the tornado which tears through our city. I write to leave […]

Vampires taking a break from their Eldritch machinations to post on Vampire Tumblr about how sweet and pure their humans are.

"We don't deserve humans 🥹" posts FleshSculptor77, on a video of her enthralled human, Jake, licking an ice cream cone.

"We really don't," comments ChadTheImpaler. "I […]

Dan: "I’m in the backyard and a neighbor is playing the Expedition 33 soundtrack very loudly"
Taber: "Turn that shit up it's good"

My radical opinion is that cable machines should measure their weight stacks in terms of pounds/kgs of force along the cable, not the weights themselves. That way they're pulley-invariant.

Y'all ever think about what an incredible material brick is? I'm chiseling a bunch of bricks clean after demolition and using them for a garden path, and they're just... Deeply satisfying.

[For All Mankind S04E10]

I feel like the show has fully jumped the shark. What is the Mars colony going to do with this asteroid they stole? They are entirely, critically dependent on Earth for the basic essentials of life. The worst case scenario is Earth simply stops sending supplies, waits […]

Joining the Indivisible Spotify boycott today, to try and convince them to drop ads for ICE. This one is painful--I use Spotify constantly, and have been a subscriber for a decade. I've got a huge investment in playlists there, and they're one of the few services […]

Oh man, this was probably my earliest full-length talk. My 2009 undergrad thesis, on the Casimir effect. If you ever wanted to learn about zero-point energy and how to subtract infinity from infinity, the slides might be a fun read: https://aphyr.com/media/comps-presentation.pdf

One of the things I like about For All Mankind's space disasters is that they are often *painfully* familiar to players of Kerbal Space Program. I too have been the repeated victim of "underdamped harmonic oscillation induced by the spacecraft attitude control system" 😭
