Hey, remember how up until a month ago there were like a dozen websites where you could drop in any package tracking number and they'd pull up the tracking, and sometimes it even had better information than the actual shipping company? And now they're*literally all broken*?

I don't think pineapple gets enough credit for being the Most Consistent Fruit. Like, the worst pineapple you'll ever have is maybe five percentage points below the median. Is there any other fruit that even comes close in terms of sheer reliability?

Science fiction authors designing aliens need to aspire to at least the level of weirdness of a real bucket orchid. Coryanthes macrantha in my greenhouse this morning. Flower is approx 15 cm wide, 10 cm tall. 🌴🌱

A bucket orchid in shades of orange and yellow. The bucket is formed from the distal end of the labellum and the column. Glands drip liquid into the bucket. Bees falling into the bucket can only escape through a hole at one side where they will be forced into contact with the pollen and stigma at the end of the column. The hole is pretty large, so the bees must be equally big. The sepals look like big wings made of tissue paper that counterbalance the bucket. The base of the labellum where it connects to the rest of the flower looks like a weirdly ridged orange alien penis.

Dear people who assign genre categories to large databases: "Mystery" does not mean "any story in which something is mysterious". Please stop filing EVERY SINGLE HORROR AND SCIFI MOVIE UNDER "MYSTERY". 2001 IS NOT A MYSTERY. SAW IS NOT A MYSTERY. Jesus Christ, PROMETHEUS IS NOT A MYSTERY.

This reminded me of a thing: I've been occasionally dipping into NIGHT COURT, an extremely dated childhood favorite with a good heart & a wildly problematic comic vocabulary. In season 2 there's a (good-hearted, problematic) episode called "Bull Gets A Kid", & the kid in question really struck me:

Screencap from Night Court:

Bull, a very large, very bald man in a bailiff's uniform, is leaning on a wooden partition--the one that separates the gallery from the rest of the courtroom--listening to a kid who is seated on the other side.

The kid (early teens) has short, dark hair and is wearing a slightly oversized varsity jacket and gesturing excitedly.

Subtitle reads: "'Move your butt.' Nobody ever said that to me before."

I'm listening to an audio book on World War 2 and the narrator pronounces putsch as pooch, so it sounds like Hitler's rise to power started with the Beer Hall Pooch, some sort of party dog.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

Kraft presented himself as someone who supports Palestinians and wants to create a dialogue, but there is no evidence he has given to groups that helps Palestinians. There is lots of evidence that he has given to groups that support the Israeli military, or attack against critics of Israel.

What looked like it was going to be a Mucinex-style animated snot goblin ad just threw a pretty impressive curve ball when the goblin busted out a smooth R&B jam that began with the words "I'm your foamy urine." I think the advertising industry needs to be rebooted.

To have even one real friend that will lovingly but firmly call you on your bullshit is an incredible blessing. To have several is more than anyone could hope for. To ignore all of them because your boss told you to heel is incomprehensible to me.

Looking up aquarium stuff reeeeaaally showcases how bad the AI situation is. Every search brings up page after page of SEO bait results with convincingly generic urls and obviously LLM-generated content. Finding real websites--even for stores and businesses--is exhausting. The space feels abandoned.

I have seen the word "maximalist" in like four different, unrelated contexts today and I think maybe I'm going to take it and put it up on top of the fridge before it gets broken. We can have it back once everyone has calmed down.
