Couldn’t do much, but someone is going to have a remote control car to race with his brothers.
🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇

Whatever podcast clips are ubiquitous, spreading truly vile misogyny everywhere online. But almost nothing is known about the show.

Even if you’re not an archaeologist/anthropologist, yall should go ahead and block Weiss, an unethical white supremacist.
Anthropology and archaeology colleagues will know her racist schtick well - best for us all to collectively block her and let other folks know.
Block this account.

This is not even the first time I've had to provide this information. Space archaeology takes you to some strange places.
Coupla things: the ISS computers connect through JSC in Houston, so that's their IP location (this actually came up in the Worden case) and Netflix. More to the point, there probably is porn on ISS, because the Russians sent it for their crew - to maintain their mental health - on previous stations.

There are people in the Defector Funbag comments this week earnestly claiming that “Under Pressure” by Bowie and Queen is a bad song, and I think this is how we ended up with shit like Creed.

Lehigh Valley-style Cheesesteak is my pick.

Onions
Pickles

That's the real secret of Yocco's: hot dog is good, but cheesesteak is the move. Zandy's has the best one IMO.

Wow, Uruguay player just scored a bicycle kick goal! Arguably should’ve been called for a high kick since he was about 4 inches from kicking a defender in the face, but it was incredibly impressive timing and strike!
