Welp, my Psych marathon has reached season 8 and I just heard Mackelmore's "Thrift Shop" come out and I've been forced to accept that it came out 11 years ago. Please allow me some peace during this traumatizing time.

Dental Phantom, c.1898. Or, what it feels like to live in 2025.

The dental phantom was first created by the Glaswegian dentist Eduard Oswald Fergus a few years earlier as a tool for students to practice their craft before working on human subjects.

I'll freely admit to being relatively game-less with a large part of how I landed in a happy marriage being the fact that we started off as roommates of convenience and things worked out.

I still cannot imagine being so bereft of game that I have my phone tell me how to talk to women.

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 6h

I reeeallllllyyy want to see the data breakdown by gender and age for ChatGPT use in dating.

My anecdotal experience as a millennial is that in general, men seem much more willing to talk about / brag about using ChatGPT than women. But again, this is anecdotal!

Less than 48 hours to go on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter, y'all! The campaign ends on Monday morning! If you've been on the fence about backing it, now's the time to take the plunge!

We're currently at just over $37,000. I wonder if we can hit 40K? 🤔

Everyone who told you to support John Fetterman in that primary, is now telling you to support an ex-Blackwater mercenary with no voting record in the Maine primary.

The goal shouldn't just be getting these guys to quit, it should be making them a laughingstock, a punchline. Nobody who wants respect- the kind of person ICE is recruiting- will join a force that's a mocked. The kind of people that join that force are people who are just there to take up space.

Demoralizing agents won't happen by giving them the confrontation they want. It will happen when you make fun of them. Watch any videos and you'll see that they seeth when mocked and smile when you're angry.

Mich @duszynski116.bsky.social · 5h

We’re at the point where we should be absurd in our protesting. Don’t scream and shout at the agents, dance and sing and have a party.

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

No one, really. Electoralism has never actually accomplished much of anything. It was the marches and the riots, and a little bit of support from a uniquely progressive Supreme Court, that ended segregation more than anything else.
