We were out at a thing yesterday and ESPN 8 was on one of the TVs. Events included:

Corgi racing
Competitive rock skipping
Some sort of 4 player chess

More “the Ocho” in 2025

I'm seeing articles calling the CEOs of various tech companies "cowards." And I agree wholeheartedly. However, this isn't limited to these broligarchs. I learned the hard way most people with any semblance of power or influence are cowards if speaking out or going against the grain threaten their status. This happened when Chris McNaughton sued UHC - maybe you've seen his @ProPublica story passed around recently with the Luigi incident. If not, linked below.

The reality is several "big name" physicians were approached to join the fight, whether it was on social media or as expert witnesses and very very few stepped up. The ones who did were like oh fuck yeah, let me at 'em. But the ones Chris thought would be there, who even talked a big game about the insurance industry being corrupt at the time, were silent. Because speaking out was risky. The universities who employ them have policies about such things, and the policies are basically shut the fuck up. It was incredibly disheartening.

So I guess I learned then, don't look toward those in power to be the ones with courage in this country.

@aral @archaeohistories Thanks, I missed that the little box was missing

Spent more time learning about cesspools yesterday than I care to admit. I did discover the Gates’ Foundation has a “toilet challenge” funding toilet innovation projects.

Make 2025 the year you start replying to emails with "Am I supposed to give a shit about this?"

I’ve never been to Delaware.

Hypothetically speaking, if you’re thinking of putting anything on a Tesla, like a sticker or perhaps a note of some kind, please remember there’s something called “Sentry mode” that turns on the cameras and records if the car senses certain movements nearby while parked. So keep yourself unrecognizable. Hypothetically, of course.

Today’s “punch a Nazi” hat outing is the morning rush hour commuter train into Chicago Union Station.

Can we just stop calling these fucking things Executive Orders and call them what they are, Project 2025 decrees, already?

Anyone else feel like they're just walking through soup? Watching people going about their business, pretending that this shit isn't happening or it's "not that bad"? I'm a trained psychologist with 16 years of experience to help me "cope" and "reframe" and all that shit, and I don't even know what to do with myself half the time.

Got a hug and a “bless you” from the car rental shuttle driver, I presume for my punch a Nazi hat since nobody else got one 😂

Violence against nazi’s unites us.

Got a compliment on my “Punch a Nazi” hat at O’Hare. I also think I genuinely made an old white businessman type uncomfortable in the United Club lounge by how he stared at me 😂 I take both of those as wins

This seems like a solid idea 🙄

Seems like a great fuckin day for a propofol nap

So should they enact mandatory prayer in U.S. schools, I’ve been teaching my kids to pray really loudly, go off script and talk about random shit like communist penguins. Pray for the morons who instituted mandatory prayer. If they get detentions, I’ll tell the school I’ll totally talk to them, then take them for ice cream.

May Tim Walz give us 4 years of trolling

If you don’t already know and love @dgar you might be missing out on some of the best dad jokes and memes on the Fediverse. Give them a follow on this 16th day of #FANuary

Guys. I think I’m aging wrong. They say you’re supposed to get more conservative and prefer warmer weather as you get older, and I’m on the opposite path. Is there a pill I should be taking? Preferably with a weird name and catchy advertising jingle.

Long shot but can anyone identify this bug? They get stuck in the surf on beaches in Kauai, perhaps other Hawaiian islands IDK. This was taken on Hanakapiai beach back in November. I naturalist is like 🤷♀️ might be a vespoid wasp. It’s about an inch long.

@dalias Oh I agree with you but they’re doing it without author knowledge after the submission.
