congrats to the oxford botanic garden scientists who captured the moment when the infamous mediterranean squirting cucumber (ecballium elaterium) shoots its seeds up to 40 feet by exploding off the stem with the pressure of an inflated bike tire 🥒🧪

Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Instead, we should look to history, path dependency, institutional structures, politics, and economics. For Tokyo, I think urban planning—walkability, mixed use neighborhoods, affordable real estate—all contribute to the richer media and commercial systems that feed into culture.

Biden, failure of all time
NEW: USPS letter carriers tell us they’re sleeping in their vehicles and bathing at union halls because they get paid poverty wages.

They were promised a historic new contract this year. Instead, they were offered 1.3% raises.

Now they’re revolting.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

The thing about Dude Wipes is that someone created a product, a corp. hired pros to develop the product, held meetings on marketing them, and now there are ppl whose entire workday is dedicated to them, and it’s all predicated on the idea that men take huge messy shits that require extensive cleanup
