i’m begging you all to please mask up in the memory of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social who wasn’t able to mask anymore after a certain point, and all others who can’t mask.

that could be *you,* if enough things go wrong.

it’s also all the babies and toddlers whose lives are just beginning.
please #MaskUp, folks. if we go back to actually stopping the spread of #covid again, there will be less covid, and thus, less long covid and other associated sequelae.
COVID-19: "As of November 11, 2025, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 20 states, declining or likely declining in 9 states, and not changing in 18 states."

i love making podcasts and i think i’m pretty good at it at this point, but it’s so depressing to think about how my shows’ listenership is probably always going to be a fraction of every terrible true crime podcast hosted by someone who doesn’t know how to speak or read
not usually a true crime person but I got an ad for it and went “holy crap, the host can’t be this bad at reading or affectless, can he?”

reader, he could.

It literally never was. I suggested to some other NCMEC Board members when I was there that we should push back on the wrongful use of “groomer” to describe non-pedophiles. The answer, from Rich Kolodziej, NCMEC Board member: “we aren’t here to protect Democrats”.
If you were concerned about teachers “grooming” kids by acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people, but you’re fine with the GOP hiding the Epstein Files and a president whose name is all over them, you’ve acknowledged what the rest of us have always known….

It was never about protecting. kids.

sports betting is bad for society. it's not really a close call.
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Another way of looking at this is if each of the US’s 19,000 cities, towns & villages had their own solar thermal plant, THE MEAN AVERAGE would be 2sq km or .77sq miles.

Less than a square mile doesn’t seem so bad, does it.
One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.

100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.

That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

monica lewinsky's boss exploited his position of power and she faced literally decades of mass harassment, cruelty, objectification, and misogynistic jokes and here we are in 2025, comedians still use her name as synonymous with blowjobs, i fucking hate it here.
It’s already happening. Case in point the sheer number of tiresome people making this crack today

Walt Disney truly believed his animatronics would eliminate the need for actors and animators! As a result, Disney now employs tons of actors and animators, but with many more engineers.
