Three panel comic. Panel 1: 5 million years ago - a bunch of bedbugs lounge around in a living room, looking totally bored. Panel 2: another bedbug excitedly bursts through the front door and exclaims, “someone invented beds!” Panel 3: one of the bedbugs looks over their shoulder at the other and says, “you’re joking”

a stone staircase spirals up towards us: at the bottom, a figure in a tunic and phrygian cap looks about as he approaches the first steps; a short way up, the figure is sprawled on the steps, his head cleanly sliced off; further up, his hand is vanishing into green sludge which fills a pit that has opened in the steps; a few steps higher, he is pinned in place by a vertical row of spears jutting from holes in the wall; up a few more steps, he has been crushed by a block of stone cut to fill the width of the stairs; almost at the top, only a pair of smoking shoes remain by the metal grille in the floor through which the glow of fire can be seen; at the top, having reached the landing, the figure looks down at his foot as the floor tile he's stepped on has just depressed with a 'click!'

One thing that seems missing from the sports "debate" is that student athletics are not meant to be training for professional athletes, but for health and social reasons. The only "fairness" govt should protect is everyone having access.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

No applications, just universal school meals to fuel our kids. This is what it looks like when a city invests in its youth from day one. Welcome to the Seattle Public Schools families and students. Here is to a year of learning, community, and a full plate for every student!

The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.

Reading about Japan's first astronaut, who was a chainsmoker and spent most of his mission being violently sick. He died earlier this year, RIP to a real one.
Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer. During his time aboard Mir, Akiyama gave live reports each day documenting life aboard the station, but his apparent discomfort led to him being described as the first "antihero in space". He described his struggles such as space sickness and craving for cigarettes. During training, he quit smoking cigarettes, having previously smoked four packs a day. Before liftoff, when asked what he looked forward to most upon his return to Earth, he said "I can't wait to have a smoke". His fellow cosmonauts later reported, in regards to his nausea, that they "hadn't ever seen a man vomit that much."

I think it's bad to have broad social acceptance of pseudoscience and woo woo shit due to some notion of gentleness and tolerance bc it makes the culture at large less of either of those things.

Some friends are teaching their baby ASL as an early bridge to speech and they made the mistake of teaching her “want” as a concept. Now she wanders around the house signing “want” all the time as an expression of unfocused desire. They fucked up and made the baby invent the opposite of Buddhism.

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?

What a guy
4 panel comic

Panel 1: a wizard in blue robe and white beard sitting with small forg at a desk behind the computer. “Click, click” is the sound of the mouse to be heard
Panel 2: close up on the computer screen. There’s a green check mark and a full loading bar on it. From off screen someone, probably the wizard, says “boom, there it is”.
Panel 3: forg is left behind alone at his desk. There’s an open door in the background. Forg says “thanks installation wizard” and a little pink heart appears, showing his affection.
Panel 4: we see now that the wizard has already left the house after a job well done. He replies to forg watching him go from his window: “it’s what I do”

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it's just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn't realize, I can't, it's so much, I, I... are the chips good, at least?
