This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

If Ohio is suspending its gas tax for 90 days I should also get a 25% reduction in the extra registration fee I have to pay for driving an EV.

I’m no republican strategist but wondering if impeachment could be a midterm strategy given how poorly they’re polling on literally everything else

R’s failing to realize they could just impeach him and make 69% of the country thrilled

Sigh I love waking up to further proof the death penalty should be abolished

Ah that makes more sense, here leaves & yard waste are one and the same

Interlibrary loans have to be one of the greatest things ever created. “We’re sorry we don’t have the thing you want to read, but we will find it and get it to you for free so you can!”

When do your leaves turn? Ours continues into early December and recently even that has felt too soon!

Grabbing paper towels from a new vs old pack and they just felt a bit different. Fucking shrinkflation.

“You’re 45, so it’s time to get a colonoscopy.” Cold. Impersonal. Uninspiring. “Two score and five autumns have cooled your brow, so we must search your corn-maze for haunts.” Mysterious. Fun. Seasonal.

I think I’m going to go snake pit for next year’s Metallica show. Technically one of the few ways I haven’t yet seen them.

I’m impressed they have a TP sniffing dog, seems pretty specialized.

I’m a rock guy and have never been to a rave. But I saw Darude is coming to Detroit and have loved Sandstorm immensely since the first time I heard it. Should I go yay or nay?

This list easily could have been 16+ and included Clean Water Fest on Saturday, right @neorsd.org?

I’m not sure I will survive this show. Avatar and Metallica same stage same night.

FWIW this is with a ~25mi commute. I’ve found it to be roughly ~1/3 what I was spending on gas, and that was with a car that gets 30-35 mpg

I’m overdue to rewatch Pulp Fiction

25 years and many memories of little parts of that day still feel as fresh as if they were last week 🇺🇸

In a world of $9/lb ground beef I just got four pounds of dried chickpeas for $5.99 which feels like quite a bargain.

FFS I just queried the Google search bar why the Ohio State-Texas game is at 7:30 since so many prime time games are noon now and Google told me it’s at noon because of the Fox Big Noon Kickoff. It’s at seven fucking thirty and two years ago Google wouldn’t lie to me it would just search.

Smaller order also = less time spent shopping tho certainly price per item also factors in. Can’t confirm but from a quick search sounds like the actual delivery pay is the same regardless of order size.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

Funny, I just made tzatziki with zucchini that turned out well, I may have to try this swap as well!

Ben Zonatate @drxuggist.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Ok this is rather surprising. I spent tons of time visiting family in Wisconsin & southern MN growing up and no doubt that influenced my dialect, but northern MN? I grew up in central Ohio y’all (and yes I also do regularly use y’all)

This is delightful: first photographic evidence of a coyote catching a roadrunner! Scientists do say it’s happened before since coyotes are faster (it’s just that other prey are easier). And guess what the ornithologist’s dad does for a living?!

Absolutely pathetic that Apple Maps has the “Lake America” label above the border. That part is officially still Lake Ontario per Canada. At least put the damn label below the border line.
