If anyone who has a 3D printer wants to play with the tetrahedral building blocks I’ve been having so much fun with, I’ve published a 3D model of the version I was playing with last month at https://makerworld.com/en/models/2142956-tetragonal-disphenoid-tetrahedral-building-blocks#profileId-2321371

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.

I've just realised that cottage cheese isn't really cheese, at all. It's literally just a curd to me.

So I was playing #geoguessr & hit a level where you have to guess without moving. I failed it maybe 10 times, started to get a bit frustrated, and finally — somewhere I kind of recognised! “I’ve seen this in a YouTube video fairly recently!” I thought. “But which one?? Oh!

"You really want your tax dollars going to feed poor people?!"
Yes. Take more. Take more of my money and give it to poor people. I'd rather help them eat than pay for another goddamn aircraft carrier or some shit.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Dear Labour Party - you don't neutralise the threat from Reform by adopting their policies or talking points. You do it by reducing inequality. Fascism doesn't flourish if people feel they're fairly recompensed, equally treated, well-fed and well-housed and their jobs are safe. So be more Labour.
