Reading a paper on definitions of engineering throughout time and the "British Institution of Civil Engineers" is referenced a lot as... "ICE". Which is just. A little brain-twiggy

This was exactly my thought
Far be it from me, whose specific identities get REALLY ANNOYING if I actually sit down and explain them, to be like “people these days inventing new words” but I mean. What are we doing.
…. Did they get married for the health insurance/tax cuts like what are we doing here
IMHO incredibly irresponsible of the publisher what the fuck is wrong with them
When I spent the weekend procrastinating:
I mean was it "misinformation" or "hopeful joshing around"
😭😭😭 Literally texting w fiancee about the trump press conference BUT NOW. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT
the sunglasses keep falling off
Plz
"But you liked me yesterday"
Tired: DC statehood Wired:
Yes yes!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m super pissed it didn’t occur to me to give it to you early so you could’ve had it with you this past week lol
Also insanely I have a great birthday present for you that also includes your parents LMAO. Or can be used with your parents. So it’s like very apt for your right now in your life.
This skeet inspired by fiancé’s Aunt trying to get us to go golfing with her this weekend; when I’m already agreed to go to Canobie for a fiancé Work thing on Saturday; and the My Chemical Romance concert is Sunday 🫠 🫠🫠
quick someone plot american confidence in their economic futures on a graph so we can slap the Reagan sticker on it at the exact moment it begins to plummet
people want to spend time w me because they like me and want to hang; it is not a bad thing and i did this schedule to myself, it's my responsibility to know i don't have time, not other people's. it's gonna be a tough thing to remember, lol
One of my biggest struggles this semester is going to be not getting angry when people try to schedule things with me in spite of me repeatedly explaining i don't have time, i have no time, why are you trying to ask me for time, i have none of it
Another quote from Ocean's Eleven is "Don't use 10 words when 5 will do" and: that movie is just chock fully of genuinely good advice, weirdly? Good script. anyway
Artist is @smallwhitemonster.bsky.social monster ; who has an account on here but doesn't appear to be active. store here: smallwhitemonster.com
Just discovered this artist and I'm obsessed. 100% getting a print for myself for Christmas or something because IDK, something speaking to me. suburban gothic liminal space nihilism something. i love it.
I love looking at this graph, showing it to my students, and sharing it on social media, even though it unerringly brings out the trolls. This is the efficacy curve of Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine. This, people, is what ended the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic. Despite what RFK Jr says.
There’s a quote that sticks in my head from oceans eleven, and it’s “your problem is you found too many other people like you” And I think it sums up the internet age
look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
The sexy Watto meme is proof that gen AI is dumb. First, it’s inherently funnier that a real artists took the time to draw sexy Watto. Second, gen AI could never come up with anything so haunting or execute it in such unhinged ways.
✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️ Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft? Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago. In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.
“I have accomplished all I pledged in my second term. Now I’m retiring to spend more times with my golf courses.”
This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
Alright yall im finally watching Sinners
Oh NOOOOOOOO
Dick Grayson debuted as Robin in April 1940, became Nightwing July 1984, so June 2028 will mark the dickquinox, the exact point he was Robin and Nightwing for the same amount of time.
Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.
I realized that I didn’t say in the initial post but I SAID “fuck you I’m blocking you” to the text after I realized it was spam and they KEPT. TALKING
Happy Labor Day!
happy labor day
As I am going into the settings to block them they're replying back "Oh so you're interested? Let me tell you about this amazing work from home job-!!" I know this won't happen anytime soon but the amount of spam we have to deal with every day is a public health crisis and should be treated such
Cheesus fuck. Got a "hey can we talk?" style text that I replied to bc I'm working at so many new colleges this fall I don't have everyone's number yet; of course it's some scam bullshit about "a really amazing job opportunity!"
I spent August nursing both parents thru surgical recovery and prepping for a craft booth, so it would be SUCH a great time to get your support. My patreon gives me a place to launch new products without fear of $ recuperation, and a Predictable Income that does wonders for my sanity. Past perks! 👇
It’s the 1st of the month! Once again I must tell you that I do indeed have a patreon and you should consider joining it if you like my work! Upper tiers get a monthly mailbag, and even $1 patrons gets 15% coupons for my etsy! This September’s Featured Bean is DAINTY patreon.com/stitchy
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
I have an opinion piece in the New York Times today on how the labor movement has failed to step up to the moment in countering Trump, even as Trump unilaterally strips public sector workers of collective bargaining. Labor will die as a movement if this continues. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
HAPPY DICKFUCK DAY, CREW! 🏴☠️ May we all have the chance to do something weird today 💜 #ofmd #ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansdeath
what they don't tell you about living in new england is that the ocean never gave her up. it is a place haunted by the ghosts of every being that ever died here. you can feel them, dying. being consumed. we have had this dream too. but it is a dream. you can wake up. with an iced regular from dunkin
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
Quitting twitter for bluesky
ONLY TWELVE HOURS LEFT!!!
This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
I hope they nuke this demonic horseshit from orbit
for as long as i’ve seen, CA has been blue on these maps. thanks to newsom’s massive rightward lurch, it might no longer be safe for trans kids. anyone pushing this man for president needs to own the fact they’re advocating for abandoning the most vulnerable among us to people who’d exterminate us
Evil is always self defeating!!
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
Happy Labor Day weekend!
I was a John cena skeptic until literally like the last two years but damn if he isn’t just consistently putting in the work and being good
This is a poorly framed question. Lots of conservatives would cut off a family member for being LGBT, for example, but that doesn’t clock as a ‘political view’ to them. Also, the narrative that leftists cut off their conservative family members too easily is extremely widespread on the right.
(takes huge bong rip) so i think i figured out how to solve the colorado river watershed tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/...
The people in these jobs are actually committed to the mission of helping save lives and don't want the limelight. Things have to be really shitty for them to want to finally bail on the CDC.
This is an incredible service that all Americans need and should have access to. Your feedback as a user (or non-user) can help improve the product and experience. It will also be a clear sign that the program MUST remain as a critical service. They will shut it down if they get the chance to.
Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.
Lol clearly Saint Augustine never met a Russian who learned English via erotic fanfiction
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
me running around in circles "but what do i DO???????? what do i need to DO about this??????????"
RIP Walgreens. You were often closer by than other stores.
There’s an enormous amount of stuff in this book I’d like to highlight, but start with: “What emerges as the most elementary insight is that, since we do not now have any ways of making computers wise, we ought not now to give computers tasks that demand wisdom.”
ok y'all complain when he wastes money on a gold plated toilet but somehow it's also bad when my man cuts costs with some golden spray paint?
Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.
It is not just that these employees are risking being put on leave or even fired for standing up for science (see EPA/FEMA officials), they are standing in front of a workplace that was the subject of a terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago, by a man who believes what their boss believes.
If you need a ride to Nashua I can always work smth out 🤣🤣
Yeah my only availabilities were in Nashua, NH, which: I’m teaching in Manchester 3 days a week and drive right by Nashua on the way home, so nbd, but yeah ONLY saw NH options when I signed up
My school banned all trench coats!! Just outright!!
They ask zero follow up questions after you click “yes” on “high risk” so. Just putting that information into the world
Thursday! What a concept!
Always happy for a chance to say: I read every real study on the impact of bike lanes on street-level retail. They never hurt. They often help. Sometimes they help a lot: www.businessinsider.com/bike-lanes-g...
And a Storrowing will still happen. Kinda drives home how silly it is that our approach to road safety is just repeatedly pleading with drivers to slow down and not hit people.
🧵 I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.
Same in New England
Well, here we go This is the op-ed in which I denounce the Riesman Center for Harvard Hillel Pray 4 Josie harvardindependent.com/avoid-the-bu...
An ode to belovedly silly yet charming manga, 'A Teacher's Anguish' is a new comic from @birby.bsky.social: Ange Takayama only wishes to escape her soul-crushing teaching job and focus on what's really important in life: the super famous idol Reen, darling of her heart!
My fiancée is one of you and idk we’ll see if our engagement survives this
Like go figure I can indeed actually do the thing I’ve been training to be able to do for 15 years. Ok reading time
Luckily my decade in grad school and general trade apprenticeship in philosophy have actually made me… kind of particularly skilled in consuming a massive amount of the western canon and turning around lectures, quizzes, discussion topics, and writing prompts on them? So… success??
Luckily the readings for this course have been a lot of good stuff, with one exception, so at least as I’m frantically trying to get up to speed I’m enjoying what I’m doing. When I remember to take a second and enjoy it
Ok I’m 1 month ahead on planning lectures, time to blast through this (apologies to Saint Augustine) so I can hopefully get through mid-October w my prep work by end of day
EXACTLY what I was coming to say; 5’2 108lb bear like lmaoooo
What the… fuck….
I did this through CVS. So if you're looking to get vax'd, try through CVS, select "yes", and if there's no COVID vaccines for your area, worth trying another area you know you could get to
Excited to report I got my COVID vax scheduled for next Friday! I had to select "yes" for "Do you have a condition that puts you at risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus" but was asked no further questions :) Also, the vax is NOT available at my old address in FL, but is in NH, so FYI!
trying to come up with stuff to keep him occupied while i work because GUH he is SO desperately in need of attention CONSTANTLY (I wanted a dog-like cat and WHOOPS i got it??) so crumpling up post-it notes and throwing them at him seems to be a winner so far
We’ve been playing a game where he tries to block my shot (he sucks at it, LOSER) but of course when I try to get video of it he gets more interested in chomping on the basket
oh fuck yeah
Thank you to the Miccosukee people who made this happen 🙏🙏
they ARE marvelous
