I'd like to thank the Internet for not spoiling Stranger Things for me. I'm shocked that I wasn't.

Fellow neurodivergent folk: a friend said she read that when neurodivergent people eat different foods, there is a conscious thought process as to which bite will be last so that flavor will be last. I totally do that. Anyone else?

This is chilling to read.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended
Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.
All on the taxpayer’s dime.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.
These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.
Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

There were a group of guys by the front exit at #NYCC2025 that were gathering around people and attempted to steal my BIL's wallet. Be careful out there all!

My spouse: Basically naps in his.
So not cool.

I got new glasses. They are already leaving a groove on the bridge of my nose and giving me a headache. Time for a new pair it seems.

So if Jimmy Kimmel had just suggested killing homeless people by involuntary lethal injection, like Brian Kilmeade did on Fox, he’d still have a job?

This is the wildest story I've ever read.
TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

What a travesty that one student could ruin so many careers.
Then we woke up this morning to news that the dean and department head who didn’t fire the professor gave been removed. bsky.app/profile/asoc...

A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship.
Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
