Welp. It happened. Fly brain teledildonics with @buttplug.io I wonder what level of hell is now reserved for the things I have enabled, and if it is actually any worse than having to work with Bluetooth. Code at github.com/paoloo/flybr...
X post from paoloo:

ok, I got a little bit crazy and made the fly's brain ( https://paoloo.github.io/2026/09/19/running-an-actual-fly-brain/) manage a @buttplugio device because, why not? why not having a fly control your dildo?

Read this amazing thread and the expanded article that came from it. In recounting one family’s story of polio survival, it shows the impact of the Salk vaccine and puts lie to RFK’s insane rush to destroy vaccination programs.

Hellman’s official mascot Manny Mayonnaise.

The website says he’s 7 feet tall and has arms and legs.

He does, and they are yellow.  Otherwise, he looks like an Aqua Teen Hunger Force reject.

These are bad graphs in several ways. First, the facts they represent bad. But they are also terrible at communicating that data effectively. The way they’re scaled reduces them to “number go down”. Fixing them is simple: they should include zero as the base for logarithmic y-axis scale.

Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: propub.li/4veRIqA
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
