So hey new virus mutation just dropped. If you have a horrible sore throat, fever that won't go down with NSAIDs, bad headaches, PLUS all the other symptoms of the flu, but are testing negative for COVID and Flu A&B on home tests?
You have Subclade K/H3N2. You have the flu and it will suck.

This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work.
But Bluesky! You deserve EVERYTHING!

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.
I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

This. Also: Our current industrial presence in space (in the ISS) is about the size of a microwave oven. Leaving aside the Three Laws (and we know how well THAT goes!), it'd take DECADES to develop the needed infrastructure. These guys are delusional. Just saying "SPACE!" doesn't make magic happen.😂
These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

If you need a little digital reconnection to the pulse of the living Earth, here are about 200 sandhill cranes winging south over Atlanta this afternoon. Their voices have echoed across this continent for at least 5 million years. Hopefully 5 million more

The Senate rejected two bills to try and extend ACA subsidies.
The Dems caved for nothing.
They were never going to negotiate.
They never had a healthcare plan.
Their “plan” is to let millions lose their insurance.
It’s eugenics.

She looked out. The profile of a demon lord decorated the city's skyline.
She sighed; did the pose. The goddess lifted her, transformed her into a magical girl.
She beat the demon into a pulp, then faced the harder battle: to return to her seventy-year old body, with aching knees and knuckles.

You know why these glowing stories about innovative austerity by university administration pisses off all the faculty? All of them? It's not because it's about firing faculty--you've clearly never been to a faculty meeting if you think there's solidarity internally! It's actually much simpler!

Hey @tkingfisher.com, thought you might enjoy the fruit of an illustration challenge centered around your Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking. I believe the illustrators are mostly students or amateurs hoping to develop their skills, and the challenge was to focus on one character. From Facebook.
