Death.

That'd be the "Mortality" part of the report.

It's been around a lot longer than that, on one form or another.

An American Werewolf in London is 42 years old today. Here’s my little tribute to it (after Watterson)

You know the assignment 👍

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

I see your raise and raise again with: multiple high school cheer squads in the lobby of a convention hotel.

With enough space for a little casual "practice".

I can get behind "simply do not want Elon to prosper".

I love that story!

Ah, but THESE Muslims gave Trump a bribe I mean plane.

So they're basically Muslim Santa.

Painfully accurate, to the detriment of the nation.

D leadership would rather have a dead Congress member than one they do not control.

the idea that the only way we can have a primary is to run a 77 year old career politician against a newcomer is a sign of a tragically unimaginative politics

We need retirement from being an elected official to be a thing for politicians

I'm delighted to be flying next to a quiet person quietly ignoring me and doing sudoku.

Airlines should allow people to select introvert vs extrovert for seating preferences.

We're not turning the battleship to attack something.

We're desperately trying to steer it out of treacherous waters full of icebergs and mines. Before it sinks, drowning a lot of its crew.

The tragedy of any brilliant UK series is that, at any time, it may be upended by its actors being poached by a theater company.

Or Peter Jackson.

Mostly Peter Jackson.

Transphobic fash POC wishing they could transition to whiteness and finally live their best lives.

It's like people showing AOC dancing, or Mamdani's videos, as if being fun meant not being capable of serious regard.

I love it too... and I love that conservatives somehow thought it discredited Zelenskyy. A person can be funny and talented, and still be a good leader. And honestly, that range suggests he's capable of adapting as needed. Gotta dance in tight pants and heels? No problem.

Give hi the Pritzker "Puhleease!" prize, he won't have any idea. Have it presented by people in penguin suits speaking pig latin. Later reveal it's actually mediocre chocolate wrapped in foil.

Updated to Windows 11.

The task bar is fixed in horizontal mode. Despite complaints, it looks like there won't be a fix.

It is deeply annoying.

Ugh, the 24 hours of suck!

I lucked out this time and didn't even have much soreness. 5 vaccines, 2 sessions 6 days apart, including MMR because who he hell needs measles in this economy?

My left arm was a trooper. (Tried one in each, too stiff to fend off the dogs the next day, almost smothered.)

The GOP bans books but campaigns on the 2nd amendment because they'd rather have a stray bullet go through your child's head than a thought they don't agree with.

Nick Knudsen @nickknudsenus.bsky.social · 1d

They banned A Clockwork Orange, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, Crank and many more because free minds scare them.

So read louder.
Share harder.

Pass the stories they’re desperate to erase.
Rebellion starts on the page.

I found out my first draft thesis was due by stumbling across a classmate finishing hers (I went by the deadline in the student guide; apparently there were updates posted.... in the elevator, which I never took).

Skipped all my classes, pounded out 20+ pages complete with graphs. Adrenaline>>>AI
