It's very important to me that you know that all grains are a neutral base that can be either sweet or savory

I learned from an Arthur screencaps account here that Hebrew for "without context" is ללא הקשר and I find that delightful

I don't have the energy to read this piece but I saw someone quote that Santa line applaudingly and IDK it comes across as antisemitic AF to me www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Situation Room connected the call. Biden jumped in. “Bibi, man, what the fuck are you doing?” He gripped the phone tight. “You think I’m Santa Claus? No Santa in Israel, pal.” When Netanyahu asked what he meant, Biden said he could cut off military aid to Israel with the snap of a finger, leaving the country on its own. Netanyahu retorted that Israel would defend itself even without the United States. (We later learned that he concluded from this call that we were cutting military supplies.)

I feel pretty confident that the number of dyed in the wool transphobes is fairly small and the vastly majority of people don't think very much about trans people/are generally neutral to positive but have vague concerns born out of ignorance/lack of interaction with trans people

The latest fiction from @annaleen.bsky.social is a subversive adventure tale told from the perspective of a single-cell alien creature. Read an excerpt here, then go see them (Annalee, not the slime mold) read in SF Oct. 6. www.coyotemedia.org/excerpt-anna...

Excerpt: ‘A Wall Is Also a Road’

The new novel from San Francisco sci-fi writer Annalee Newitz is a thought-provoking meditation on human nature, told from the perspective of an adventurous alien amoeba.

I enjoyed this small piece by Katelyn. Absolutely needed a modicum hope on this manic Monday.

I keep thinking about why I was mildly irritated by Kramer/Fauci and the line that comes to mind is "stolen valor"

A cool thing about doing a 90 minute swim on a Monday morning is you get to have second breakfast

A lot of times when people talk about how sci-fi predicted some new tech they are mostly talking about how tech people cribbed an idea from sci-fi because they thought it was cool. But two things that I think were *actually* predictive in TNG were the game from The Game and Darmok memespeak.

Finally did a 90 minute morning swim! Turns out my body definitely feels it when I wake up at 5am to start swimming at 6:30am (instead of waking at 6 to swim at 7) and swim for 30 more minutes. But I feel confident I will adjust.

Drinking alone at home is always an option

When I was a kid my friends and I made up our own lyrics for the solfège song from The Sound of Music because we were very cool and popular and not at all weird and anyway I still remember all of it.

Big thing I kept thinking about while watching Kramer/Fauci was that — I think deleted — thread where someone said that Long COVID treatment wasn’t going to meet “the AIDS timeline,” ignoring that *COVID* got effective treatments and vaccines in less time than it took to get Reagan to say AIDS

Seeing another play tonight but I don’t think Mamdani will be in the audience this time

Apparently you can buy a WiFi enabled “landline” for $100 that enables you to call other people with this device for free (and real phones for $9.99/month) and it is very popular with kids

בשבוע שעבר אמא שלי מצאה איירפודס מתחת למיטה שלה ונתנה לי אותן. טוב, אבל לא הבנתי שכשאקבל הודעות, סירי יקרא לי אותן. ו*גם*, סירי שלי דובר עברית כדי לעזור לי ללמוד. בכל מקרה, האזנתי לפודקאסט והוא קטע ואמר ״הודעה מ-את יעל*: גוד פלאן.״ (לא יודעת למה הוא אמר ״מ-את יעל״ ולא ״מיעל״)

Herman's Hermits "Henry The VIII, I Am" on The Ed Sullivan Show

You guys I just learned that a song I thought was just some shitty drinking song was once performed on Ed Sullivan in front of an audience of screaming women www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFNo...

I don’t think it’s hard to understand why Trump likes Mamdani; you have to start with the fact that Trump has no committed principles beyond his own self interest — not even racism! — and that Mamdani upends expectations by not being aggro in Trump’s presence

New knitting project, new thread. Knit the gauge swatch tonight, and while I still have to wash and block it’s close enough to the measurements that I feel pretty good about the pattern.

I just saw a trailer for Matchbox: The Movie, and... is Matchbox a property I should know outside of its existence as cinema

I thought at first that this “ice cube” was intended as post-assault evidence — making it a DFSA kit with extra steps — but even as something supposedly preventative it sucks
