People, young and old, came to the witch for directions. "I seek adventure." "I seek wisdom." "I need a place to feel at home." "I feel like I need to cry, but I can't." The witch listened, and told all where to find what they sought. And the local library thrived. #CrossRepost

There was a lot of talk about future drone warfare when I was a RAND fellow 30 years ago, but degrading civilian morale by singeing an adversary's mail order dildo supply was not something that came up

I love lying on my back peering into the night sky outside the city lights. The stars! I mentally flip gravity and I’m pressed against a ceiling staring into an endlessly deep abyss I could fall into forever if the Earth ever let go of me.

"A specific entry for “pelican” is absent from the Australian National Dictionary, but the consensus online is that it means a fool or a clown, based on perceptions of the bird as slow-moving, with an ungainly physiognomy." Yeah, that tracks. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Paul Hogan has reportedly called Pauline Hanson a ‘pelican’. Please explain?
Crocodile Dundee was held up by the One Nation leader as an exemplar of ‘Australian monoculture’. Hoges had other ideas

"You have tampered in the Gods' domain!" the god shouted. "Well, maybe, but you gods tamper in the human domain all the time!" "That's... That's different!" "How?" "We are Gods! It's what we do!" "And we are human. Likewise." "I..." The god sighed. "Fair. But keep it quiet, okay?"

The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon. No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn. The parking attendant moved on.

The mechanic removed the back plate and inhaled through pursed lips. "Who did this?" "I did," the robot said. "How?" "I took one arm off, put in a wireless interface so I could still use it, and put it in a vice, then turned-" "OK. Why?" "I needed fixing." "You are allowed to ask for help."

The study does not remotely say that science “leans hard left.” Nor does the fact that academics left the Nazis-and-child-porn website for a different website mean they’re producing biased evidence. All of the major threats to science in 2026 come from the right.
previously been studied. Here we report on the results of a survey distributed o scientists on
Twitter and Bluesky (n = 813). Results
overwhelmingly confirm that changes to Twitter have made the social media platform no longer professionally useful or pleasant, and that many scientists have abandoned it in favor of Bluesky. Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference.
