Once while eating dinner with my daughters and my mom, my youngest (11 at the time) asked
"Do frogs have sex? Oh my god are there frog vaginas?"
My mom, mortally embarrassed: "Can we put that topic in abeyance please?"
Me: "No, but we can put it on layaway!"
Nobody laughed.

"Contradicts the Official Account" is such a shitty euphemism for "they fucking lied".

This is the 3rd time in my lifetime that @espn has ruined tennis on TV. In the 90s they'd delay broadcasts then truncate them. In the 00's they stopped carrying it almost entirely but the tennis channel came along and it was glorious. Now they're "broadcasting" again but it's pay walled. Assholes.

I can't be the only person watching this on loop, right?
-7F this morning, definitely cold enough to freeze a bubble! Macro video of bubble freezing.
We're on the far edge of storm that ravaged the South and NorthEast of the country so we only got a few inches of snow and below freezing temperatures.
I love watching the dendritic ice crystals growing.

Hey does everyone remember how wild it was that they held the Olympic Games in Nazi Germany in 1936 and the whole world just showed up anyway and then WW2 erupted a few years later?
Yeah just a random observation, nothing to see here I'm sure.

@ossoff.bsky.social They're straight up murdering people in the streets now. Why are we even talking to them about budgets? Why are you doing ANYTHING other than working to remove the people from power who are MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS? What are you doing that's more important than that?

@ossoff.bsky.social Jon, please, for the love of all that is good - there is no more centrism. The GOP is now a fascist organization, either directly through action or indirectly through inaction. It's up to you to stop them. No more compromise. No more supporting ANYTHING they want. YOU MUST ACT.

You know, I'll bet it's actually better in his mind that he has one now without having done anything to earn it. It's the way his entire life has gone for him.
He's definitely thinking "Ha, I got one of these just by being me, while Obama had to do all that work. What a sucker loser he is!"

I think I've hit my professional expiration date when it comes to CompSci, guys. I can't stand any of the new tech I'm seeing come down the pike, and the things I care about are being shoved aside in the name of speed and "productivity".
We're losing our humanity, one AI integration at a time.

I just read that health insurance company stocks are down now the ACA subsidies aren't renewed.
Knowing these fuckers I'm now absolutely sure that people are buying those stocks low (probably have already done) and when the subsidies get reestablished they'll make a tidy profit on the rebound.

I know the GOP is playing it close to the vest with regard to what they're replacing the ACA with, but where do I sign up on the betting pool for the "nothing" option?

Fascists didn't create a new "we're fascists!" party, they corrupted the GOP over time (and not that much time) until the GOP BECAME the fascist party.
Now we have to turn the Democratic party into the "fuck the fascists!" party. It'll take time, but not that much time. In fact we've already begun.

Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.
