Ground Effect xkcd.com/3305/
Comic. [Two people flailing high in the air. Three people on the ground running ahead of them. Arrows and a dotted line indicate that this second group is within roughly one body length of the surface.] [caption] The “ground effect” explains why sprinters can run most efficiently if they stay within roughly one body length of the surface.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

Not sure who has seen this story but the paper spent quite some time in all the ways he reportedly failed as father and then just kind of throws near end "oh by the way, he was trans and had stated that his FIL punched him in chest after transition surgery and his wife pulled out surgery tubes."

Is there some fuck shit going on with King of Drag Season 2? Am I crazy or did they just announce a crowning event and exclude the only black contestant from it? Where is Cyrus? Explanation is needed.
Twitter announcement of crowning event with only 7 of the 8 queens from this season which appears to exclude Cyrus K. Stratton with zero explanation.

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art

1. They caught this in time! It won't keep anyone from voting. 2. This happened bc TX lets you register to vote when you get your driver's license online. The DL office's web portal didn't send people's info to county voter roll registrars properly.

If God is gonna convert a person then God is gonna convert a person. What hubris of us to think we should go about harassing people into a faith. A person's relationship with the divine is between them and the divine and unless they ask you to get involved, you stay the hell out of it.

It still persists to this day. Watch how any time some white guy is caught doing mass murder, the media say "ah, this isn't terrorism, just some disaffected white guy." The word "terrorist" is being taken to mean "someone Muslim and brown."
