A drawing of a skeleton wizardy guy with a big wide witch hat, chain belt, and flaming sword, with some sort of red-eyed dog monster next to him. It's been made into a meme with the text "don't ask me 'wyd' you know I'm at home deteriorating"

This is such good coverage of such a cool place; I went to grad school with folks who volunteered and worked there and I'm definitely going to share.

Yeah it felt worth it to download and post over here.

I left teaching, but I feel this in my soul. Worst clause ever.

you just need to be back in a chat with a bunch of terminally online procrastinators, we could have fixed this right up for you.

I've never even encountered a Republican voter at a UU church. I'm sure there are some somewhere but it's definitely not a maga kind of place. Quakers too.

How about we do one (1) election where all the *centrists* compromise on the issue of trans rights (since it's so unimportant to y'all, should be fine) and vote with the left. I just wanna see something.

Brassica is that bitch

A Cap'n Crunch "Oops! All berries" box has been edited to say, "Oops! All Brassica oleracea" with images of various foods like brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, and kale around the edges.

I sincerely hope that y'all hatch a product design team at some point that I can apply for 🐣

I'm here with you.

I'm sure this will be a success, like when he kept going into CBD stores trying to prove they sell to children (they don't) and barking "I'm Ken Paxton!" when they followed the law and IDed him.

It's absolutely none of my business what those peanuts have been sitting in.

Sara Dee @trisaratops.bsky.social · 5d

They're the only ones, as far as I'm concerned.

Sara Dee @trisaratops.bsky.social · 5d

I don't eat shells from boiled ones, only roasted ones. Boiled shells are all soggy.

Sara Dee @trisaratops.bsky.social · 5d

Do people do this with boiled?? I've only seen salted/roasted ones in Coke, which is not my thing but I respect the hustle.

Sara Dee @trisaratops.bsky.social · 5d

Boiled peanuts (generally, though they're reasonably popular in some places) but specifically boiled peanuts from a roadside stand that says P-NUTS, off a 45mph state road in the south, served up from a vat of liquid of mysterious origin and age. Those bad boys hit like nothing else.

What foods do you love that you fully acknowledge make you a pervert for loving them?

Back when I started saving lolcat memes in the 00s, I really never imagined I'd end up with multiple brassica jokes on my phone, but here we are.

In all the endless discussions of LLMs, there’s a point that is, on one level, obvious, but that I feel does not get sufficiently foregrounded: LLMs are transforming material that people have put up on the internet.

I don't dispute that this was foolish and he should know the law, but you should also read the article. He plays for a team there and ordered these by mail to his residence, and they're charging him by the full weight of the gummies, not the amt of THC.

Each year it becomes more and more embarrassing to hold degrees from UT.

Trump asks 9 colleges to commit to his political agenda and get favorable access to federal money

The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money.

Take a cup, put a chunk of ripe banana (including some peel is good too) in it, then stretch some cling wrap over the top and secure it with a rubber band. take a toothpick and poke several small holes in the plastic. Fruit flies will follow the scent in and won't be able to fly out.
