New Philosophy Tube drops on YouTube this Friday! It’s about the early history of the US, how it got to this point, and Thomas Jefferson in particular

thumbnail of the YouTube video - one possible thumbnail anyway. It’s got Abi and Jefferson and the thumbnail text is “settler colonialism”

A necklace I picked up, a raven carved from 5000 year old oak wood dredged up from a peat bog giving it that black color. A raven made of black wood....hmmmmm

Gee thanks HBO for two years later deciding to copyright claim a 45 minute commentary video based on 10 seconds of video. I didn't know a GIF was harming your product.

Fascism sets in EXACTLY like this. Days go by. Nothing improves. The people wait with bated breath for SOMETHING or SOMEONE to help. Court orders, but no enforcement. Time passes. We become desensitized. Life goes on. Rights are chipped away. Life goes on. People die. Life goes on.

Finished my book nook, a light up scene called "The Gate of Wonderland". Wedged between A Dance with Dragons and Fire and Blood. One day I'll have to move it right?? Right????

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

Matt Smith asking the question we were all asking. Not that HBO Max is a good name either. Everyone just calls it HBO, it's like someone got inspired by Elon Musk changing Twitter to X

That sounds exactly right

Joe Magician 🧙‍♂️ @joemagician.bsky.social · May 14

"Hahaha isn't it silly and weird that we're going back to HBO Max?? Look at all our creators who are baffled at the backtracking!"

I don't think you can really meme your way out of that foolish initial decision.

I appreciate the self awareness from HBO that it was extremely bad to get rid of their name for "Max" and that they decided to make fun of themselves to go back. Still pretty cringe.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Although important to point out that I don't care if grrm likes the adaptations of his work other than a mild curiosity. His personal satisfaction doesn't dictate how I experience and enjoy it. In the same way that Stephen King hates the Shining movie and it's one of my favorites.
