it’s insane that him identifying as a communist is seen as disqualifying but joining Blackwater in 2018 is perfectly fine

Physics Paths

xkcd.com/3155/
Vertical comic structured like flow chart. (1) Einstein had an insight that overturned physics, thus proving his value. (2) I hope *I* have value. I’ll try to have an insight that overturns physics, to check. (3) [Time Passes] (4) Oh no! My insight didn’t overturn physics! But I don’t think I’m worthless… [arrows to two different options] (5a) Healthy Path: Maybe this was not a well-thought-out test of my value. (5b) Path of Ruin: The establishment must be *suppressing* my insight!

At the start of the year I tackled a fun character design project mixing DnD with art nouveau, creating 12 original character designs.

It was such a fun project that I’ve continued working on it in my free time, building out the characters and world more.

🔴 La Comunitat Valenciana no llamó a 90.000 mujeres que debían hacerse una mamografía en el año 2024.

👉 El dato más alarmante se encuentra en Xátiva, donde solo un 40,05% de las mujeres elegibles para el programa fueron citadas

A closeup view of the Heliogyro's inhabited section. The design comes from a late 60s study for a solar sail. Details of the study in the quoted thread.

Apologies for sliding into this conversation, but there's also a really good video essay by @jessiegender.bsky.social that just dropped the other day about the current state of SNW, and how...deeply disappointing it is (in her opinion, my opinion, and that of many others)
beware: long, but worth it.

Opinion: More than any other western European country, France is dominated by powerful billionaires paying relatively low taxes. Most voters agree that France should cut its deficit, and the majority says: the super-rich first. on.ft.com/4hedHHZ

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Tweet from @PPathole Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart. Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

What was the address of the blog where you were uploading past entries? Your style keeps getting noticeably better day after day (and it was already very good!), and I wanted to take a look at the evolution. Your consistency is very inspiring!

¿Estamos hablando de los premios de esa familia de editores que se hizo rica al entrar en Barcelona con las tropas franquistas y decomisó - robó - todas las imprentas, rotativas, tipos, papel, almacenes, oficinas, etc que le dió la gana porque eran de "rojos judeomasónicos"? Oh qué sorpresa 😮
