Being on this app, which I mostly like, has been a masterclass in learning about the ways white liberals and progressives consistently disrespect black people “for our own good.” You insist you know what’s better for us and how we should live while shirking responsibility for your bullshit.

There really does come a point in your 40s where suddenly the health of your parents and the parents of everyone you know becomes a major preoccupation (this observation not borne about by any immediate concerns with my parents but it feels like every other conversation I have these days)

Just had to use the Pythagorean theorem for an article, simultaneously proving my "I'm never going to need this in real life" high-school whining both right and wrong, because I googled "Pythagorean theorem calculator" and the internet did it for me.

Yesterday, I shared this same Canada Day thread on Bluesky, Threads, and X. Here's what I found. 🧵

“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear. In a nutshell, NO. We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb! #canadaday

#OTD 1924, a century ago in Pittsburgh, in order to stop the spread of a smallpox outbreak, those not vaccinated were ordered to be vaccinated or face prosecution.

Why do all NYT Cooking recipes have either 4 or 5 ⭐??? Are they lying about the ratings? Do they cull the recipes that don't make it to 4 or 5 ⭐? Do NYT readers just have grade inflation?

Horse walks into a bar, bartender asks, “Why the long face? Are you depressed?” Horse thinks for a sec, “I don’t think I am” and immediately disappears. This joke is about Rene Descartes’ saying “I think therefore I am” but if I told you that first, I would be putting Descarte before the horse.
