I'm still loudly political on Facebook, and still happily appreciating the political stuff here. But my own posting here is (so far) intended to be other stuff.

Not sure how long that will last.

Language: Spanish, we need a word for "also"
Spanish: Very good
Language: Ok, so you are on board. What's the word?
Spanish: Very good
Language: Um....
Spanish: No, that's the word. "tan" is "very", and "bien" is "good". The word is también

"I see you were fond of playing the Devil's Advocate," Saint Peter said.

"Er... The name isn't really..."

"No, I know. 'Devil's Advocate' is a specific job, and that is allowed."

"So I'm good?"

"No, because you weren't doing that specific job, you were just being a dick online."

I think I invented a time machine.

I think it lets me go back in time and change the past, but when (if?) I do, I'm flung back to a new present, without that reason to go back.

It's driving me mad.

For my sanity, I will go back and stop myself from inventing it.

Forgive me.

Hello, #Bluesky!

The severe pitting in this skull is the direct result of tertiary syphilis, which was fatal before the discovery of penicillin. In the final stage, the disease attacks a person's skeletal structure. This 19th-century skull is from the Medical Museion in Copenhagen. #histmed

My latest crackpot theory is that one of the best encapsulations of late stage capitalism are those ads for a game where you save a woman and child from freezing to death.

No, hear me out. I promise I’m going somewhere!
