I like the idea of a Tudor galleon with so many cannons it almost sank and it somehow has the name of a cartoon character who encourages kids to eat more fruit

#Ilizarov frame gang

Here for the participatory disinfotainment
Clearly an insane, impossible proposal as well as deeply cruel.

Imagine the impact on anybody, cis or trans, who deviates from whatever the worst person you know considers “normal” gender presentation.

Also… *hospital wards*? What the fuck.
This is unworkable btw

We’ve been using “crocodiles” at my workplace for 2 yrs and I am unwilling to switch to “sharks”
A friend of mine has early access to cutting edge corporate jargon, I heard the phrase "let's double-click on that" from him long before anywhere else. I asked him what's new these days and he says it's "the shark closest to your body" for the most urgent issue.

Oh, we don’t need immigration to fix our demographics. We can just do natalism, a policy aim no country in the world has been able to achieve, and in only 18 years that will fix it

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

Some of the bravest people I’ve met a professional capacity are those involved in Mexico’s search for the disappeared. This was a very bleak read

How dead pigs are helping in the search for missing victims of Mexico’s drug wars
Tens of thousands of families are desperately searching for loved ones ‘disappeared’ by the country’s drug cartels. Now, pigs, drones and AI are being used to find clandestine graves

Thread of SF I’ve liked / was intrigued by / am reading / want to either remember or recommend.

Because scrolling my books app library is a hassle.

Historically, forms of government and cultures have evolved to win wars. Now, they still have to do that to an extent, but the biggest threat is actually failing to nurture their own people--including by welcoming in outsiders.

Watched the new Running Man. First 2/3s tense, compelling, pretty funny. Got lost when it went to Stephen King country - landscapes became boring, plot and pacing went haywire, tried to wrap things up too quickly in a way it didn’t earn. Still, I was grinning for the first couple of acts

Can confirm, I lived with a lovely bogan years back in Latin America and she described playing this back home. It sounded great tbh

“Ahora mismo” = literally now, I’m doing it as we speak

“Ahorita” = I am aware of the task / event / commitment / deadline, but I appreciate you mentioning it again and have noted your interest in the matter

Dunno why, but Mexican Spanish reverses lemon and lime, unlike other Spanish dialects. V annoying and confusing and results in lots of clarifying what colour fruit is under discussion to avoid culinary disasters
Learning that the turtle/tortoise distinction is all fucked up in Brazilian Portuguese because there's one indigenous loanword that came to mean "non-saltwater turtle/tortoise" while the Portuguese term refers to anything nautical

Took my first bath today where I could put my left leg under the water. First time I’d properly washed the leg in 6 months. I made a kind of grotesque person soup

Aristotle and Freud are funny because their major contributions to their fields are “maybe we should seriously think about things”, and then they just didn’t do that

Still so wild that this is one big set in England. Can you please make a replica of New York that people could mistake for the real thing? No, I won't "get on a plane" just do it.

every person should be assigned a 20th century psychologist or philospher they can lose their mind reading. for me thats reich. he was right about everything, except the whole jacking off in a metal outhouse curing cancer and cloudbursting. but besides that my man is batting a thousand

Undeniably true. I thought I was having a stroke to begin with
the climax of the season 1 finale of the OA is genuinely one of the most unintentionally funny scenes in television history.

This is the politics of blackmail. The alternative is not a Reform government. The alternative is maintaining our international commitments to being a compassionate nation

Funny what this says about selection pressures and law enforcement priorities 🤔
high-level drug dealers: "we never mention anything illegal over text. basic details of transit and logistics are discussed only via encrypted comms."

child sex traffickers: "lmao the future president hurt himself in my pedophile mansion bc he was too busy oogling naked children"
Amazing how many criminals get together and decide the first order of business is emailing each other about the crimes every three minutes
