Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

There should have been two Tuvixs. You send two people in and get one person out, you’ve lost an entire person’s worth of matter somewhere.

Or just one really big Tuvix.

Ma'am, I'm wearing sweatpants, am carrying a basket full of groceries, and have headphones in my ears. No, I don't work here, and I can't possibly imagine what made you think I did.

Good luck falling asleep tonight!

The answer to this question is always yes.

Egg bagel with plain cream cheese and bacon.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

I switch to a trackpad and a quieter keyboard when recording. 😅

I like cinnamon raisin bagels, but that is not the kind of sweet and savory that goes well together.

Something that really drives me up a wall when listening to a podcast is when I hear mouse clicks.

It’s an insane world where militarizing your own civilian streets and ordering extrajudicial murders on the high seas doesn’t get you a prize.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

Nope. It's very common, but not universal.

This is almost certainly too much information, but I can personally confirm that autism does not require circumcision.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
