Nearly everything the public believes about trans people is false and that is fundamentally a failure of media.

The oil in my Subaru 4,000 after the last oil change is remarkable clear.

Dipstick extracted from a Subaru Outback 4,000 miles after its last oil change positioned over a shop towel. The oil is still quite clear with the indents in the dipstick clearly visible through it. It isn't band-new oil clear where you can barely see the level, but it isn't too far off from that.

Move to Minnesota they said, it doesn't get so hot they said...

Weather station readout show the temperature is currently 90.3 degrees F and feels like 101.6 F. What this readout doesn't show is that this weather station is in Minnesota.

From all the talk about Kharg Island one may get the impression it is like a really strategic location in the strait, but it's not actually anywhere near it. The island is important to the Iranian oil industry so it is a bet that occupying it will pressure the Iranians to open the strait.

Picture of the Persian Gulf showing that Kharg Island is nowhere near the Strait of Hormuz. It's not as far away as it is possible to get in the Gulf, but it is close.

This is so stupid. You'd need a vast array of solar panels to provide power, but far worse would be the the amount of radiators needed to deal with the heat because it is so hard to get rid of heat in space. So a huge number of rocket launches plus launches for maintenance. That's just to start...

My big take-away from the Dem victories last night is that we saw candidates messaging heavily on affordability over-performing. I think Trump and the Republicans are losing the confidence of voters that they are doing anything about feelings of economic insecurity and that is poison for 2026.

I want a doughnut. It's been a really long time since I've had a doughnut. I also want the administration to stop shipping people to a prison in El Salvador possibly forever without due process, but a doughnut seems more doable in the short term. Now I feel guilty for wanting a doughnut.

Every lede like this is a fundamental journalistic failure. (There is no "relentless antisemitism on campus" and you don't need to give the administration's propaganda priority). www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u...

The Trump administration intends to block $510 million in federal contracts and grants for Brown University, expanding its campaign to hold universities accountable for what it says is relentless antisemitism on campus, according to two White House officials familiar with the plans.

Dark humor about what is going on is a totally legit way of processing it, but to be serious for a minute. Enough GOP reps know what Trump is doing is insane and destructive and could stop it. A lot of people will suffer, a lot of people will die in despair. Damage is done, but you can prevent more.

This is Watson and Kiko. Kiko has one less leg due to cancer, but Watson just so happens to have enough hugs to make up for it. 14/10 for both (IG: watki)

a beautiful photo of two golden retrievers in front of a snowy mountainscape and lake. the blond dog has wrapped their two front legs around the red dog in a hug. the red dog has recently had his front right leg amputated due to cancer, and his fur is growing back in that area. this doesn’t bother him at all, as we can tell from the gentle smile on his face, his eyes closed.
