People have been so happy on social media the past few days I think it might be the first time UnitedHealthcare has ever helped with mental health

It really is quite touching.

I haven’t seen something bring people together like the UnitedHealth CEO assassination since the release of Pokémon Go.

my grandpa was Swedish, but his family was very insistent on assimilation when they came to America, so he never taught us much Swedish, but what he did teach us was “just add the word fart to everything. Entrance is infart, exit is outfart, there now you know Swedish”
I have heard it said that to live a rich life one should learn something new every day. Well I have been informed by my teenager that the Danish word for speed bump is Fartshumper and that the word for speed check is Fartkontrol. That’s two things.

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

A good outline of the guardrails we have to throw sand in the gears of what a new Trump admin may attempt. (IMO the piece puts too much faith in institutions & systems that keep failing us & got us to this place. But they’re all we’ve got, so we must push for them, full-force.)

I think I have it. Bluesky feels like a huge personal party, where you can wander around, meeting great people, making friends, at your own pace. If people are freaks, you can have security escort them out. It's FUN and FOOLISH and SMART. I think this is what social media is supposed to be. SOCIAL
