we used to be an internet... A REAL INTERNET!!!!

Reddit post from r/AskReddit titled, "URGENT! Need to know right fucking now: Is it safe for octopi to drink beer? Stout in particular". The post includes edits explaining that the octopus seems okay, but that the user replaced its containment rock with a cinderblock, and that the octopus later inked the tank before the user went to sleep.

one reason you should ignore the polls and vote no matter what is not that they’re wrong—the averages usually aren’t, especially this close to election day. it’s that polls inherently cannot fully account for republican voter suppression.

Huh, I’d read it came from the Eastern Empire and meant “those who don’t speak Greek.” But rather long enough ago I could easily be misinformed.

"It’s unlikely that El-Sayed and Ossoff will drastically change the trajectory or the margins of the midterms by calling a bigot a bigot or a Klansman a Klansman." If they both win their elections though, it will demonstrate that there's no downside to Democrats calling their GOP opponents bigots.

These rainbow heart socks have been sitting in my shop for a while waiting for someone to take them home. I think it's just cause they're a size small, but surely one of you knows a queer child who might like them? I ALSO sell this as a knitting pattern! ko-fi.com/s/469a3547e4 #BSNM #pride

A pair of rainbow knitted socks on wire blockers. They're damp while blocking, so the colors are a little darker than normal. They have variegated rainbow stripes and a repeating heart eyelet pattern, though the latter is hard to see with them folded so you only see the sides

A pair of rainbow knitted socks laid flat on a blanket, showing off the repeating heart eyelet pattern

The socks laid flat to show the back side of the socks, which also has the eyelet pattern on the ankle.

Ohhh... so, is this why pre-decimal European money worked the way it did? Decimals don't make sense in a ratio world? (Basically the only book I've read on the history of measurement is Hasok Chang's amazing Inventing Temperature; frantically googling)

$A short excerpt from Jim Tolpin and George Walker's By Hand and Eye: "The language of the artisans was all about finding, generating and laying out whole-number ratios with a compass and straightedge. They were not using rulers to work to arithmetic derivations of a numbered measurement. So while using a scale based on one to 10 works fine to resolve numerical formulas, you do often end up with decimal fractions of a whole number. That would require an artisan to lay out to a numbered ruler – not to mention having to deal with decimal places. Another downside in using base-10 is that 10 doesn’t readily break down in whole-number fractions: You are limited to 1/5 and 1/2. A one-to-12 scale, on the other hand, gives you 1/6, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 – the ratios of which can be easily counted out on one hand (thank you ancient Babylonians) as shown in the drawing below. Note that you use your thumb as the counting cursor."$

"Not everyone deserves to live here" is the literal antithesis of how San Francisco was founded. The city exists because of the tens of thousands of people from all over the world who flooded in over a few decades during the Gold Rush and stayed to build something.

Okay, mine is from 1989’s The Wizard, when the dad is playing Nintendo in the hotel room. He says, “I’ve got the scroll weapon, and I almost beat MechaTurtle at the end of level 3” (literally as far as anyone normal ever got on that game); but whenever it shows the screen, it’s the level 1 sewers.

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.
