it's actually very cool that the band I used to listen to as an emo teenager is now the band I listen to as an enraged middle aged Midwesterner.

There's a house for sale in my neighborhood where half the pictures are normal pictures of the place as is, and the other half are those same pictures run through an AI rendering of "what it could be".

Glad we chose to replace our toilets before Trump learns they're made of "vitreous china" and plonks a 500% tariff on them

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China. 295 ReTruths 1.18k Likes Oct 14, 2025, 3:37 PM

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion."

It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this
🧪👩‍🔬
There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

A friend of mine printed fish dice for my little PnP board game: Chubby Bear Salmon Gobble!

They're so good! Look at these little guys!

Found this game in the PaxU games library and it is a cryptid. Might have found a pocket dimension in the Philly Convention Center?

@cmyk.games What is this Eldritch object we found in the PAX unplugged library? A simple, super fun Reiner Knizia push-your-luck game. But I can find no evidence that it actually exists online. Did we stumble upon a board game cryptid?
A neon pink box and instruction manual labeled with stark white text FRUIT FIGHT. Another box and adjacent deck of cards has colorful blurry art of various fruits as though in motion. The front side of some cards are visible, each contains one of the blurry, in-motion fruit with a corresponding number , grape - 3, peach - 6, blueberry - 9

Restrictive New Year’s resolutions never sat well with me. A few years ago a friend told me they do permissive resolutions, saying “yes” to new experiences instead of “no”. With my interest in plants I decided to use this idea as a way…

Before the US election Sen. Wyden cites 404 Media, NOTUS, & Krebs on Security reporting showing a tool called Locate X can warrantless track phones at abortion clinics.

"These tracking tools present a pressing danger for women across the country."
www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Data brokers are selling the ability to track phones that visit abortion clinics and follow them back across state lines, all the way to their owners’ homes. All it takes for this kind of 24-hour surveillance is a credit card. Given the creepy enthusiasm with which MAGA government officials are inserting themselves into women’s health choices, these tracking tools present a pressing danger for women across the country. Again and again, MAGA politicians show that they will go to shameful lengths to control women’s bodies. According to reports by multiple news organizations last week, the data broker Babel Street allowed a private investigator to use its Locate X tool to zero in on abortion clinics and other sensitive locations. While Babel Street advertises its tool as being for government use, in practice this private investigator received a weeklong trial subscription, apparently without any vetting whatsoever.
