@christapeterso
lots of private homes had this too! a lot of renovations of mid-century bathrooms they’ll remove the drywall and there will be like inches of discarded razors pile up between the studs lol
@sarahhollowell
my favorite fact about perceiving wetness is that you’re generally better at telling something’s wet with a hairy part of your body rather than a glabrous part so you should be using i.e. your forearm to see if the laundry is damp not your palm/hand, & you’ll be more accurate :)
@christapeterso
also fun to think about how the people who designed these were either so confident that razor tech would change before it became an issue or (probably much likelier) that it would not evolve but by the time any of these slots filled up it would be somebody else’s problem lol

pretty sure it doesn't take "self-control" not to blurt out racial slurs unless...you really want to blurt out racial slurs
@punished_cait
cinnamon toast shrimp was a wild ride, like the guy who married topanga possibly planted shrimp tails in his breakfast cereal for clout and within days ended up just abandoning twitter forever after multiple ex-girlfriends exposed his horrible abusive past, a true twitter saga
@AngelBrittanyxo
@EbThen
they’re deeply invested in the Shirley Exception. total denial. i’ve seen a ton of posts from “pro-life” groups talking about how the treatment for an ectopic pregnancy doesn’t count as an abortion.

@christapeterso
have you ever attempted to remove anything from between the studs of a wall before without removing more than a single tile
@punished_cait
i mean i get that part-time wfh jobs with good benefits don’t exactly grow on trees, but i also feel like you could probably find *one* of them in fifteen years of searching that isn’t at the flying killer death robot company lol
@LouisatheLast
yeah i mean i knew the site was probably doomed when he bought it but i didn’t have “failed public subscription negotiations with stephen king” on the bingo card for *how* exactly lol
@KweenInYeIIow
i rarely blocked people before his takeover. now all the worst people are prioritized under any popular tweet so i spend a lot of time blocking. definitely doesn’t improve the user experience to see them in the first place but it is kinda satisfying to block them i guess.
@kenklippenstein
that one scene where hank tells the rapping youth pastor “you’re not making christianity better, you’re making rock worse!” might be my favorite but this is quality content too
@SuperiorSt
@daveweigel
yeah i mean it would have been much better and more authentic if she had pretended she had no idea this question was coming and decided not to prepare at all
@Awmyrealnameis1
@withinashes19
@rebexxxxa
yeah like i understand that some ppl have autism, executive function issues, etc but literally nobody can live a life where something unexpected never happens. u cannot expect every person in the world to accommodate ur extremely granular level of micromanaging every single task!
@PinkRangerLB
i do think it’s not *just* [insert minority here]-phobia although that’s absolutely part of it. MOSTLY these folks do NOT want to admit the people abusing kids are relatives, clergy, coaches, etc bc they would then *also* have to admit they are bad protectors/have bad judgement.
@HannahPosted
definitely the most bonkers part of the post and the one that people aren't remarking on enough. like. "being in miami in summer" does not mean it's suddenly fine to wear white to somebody else's wedding?
@bobo_circus
he was far and away the obvious choice from the beginning. like even if her politics were halfway normal, why wouldn’t you just give the show to the guy who was the best to ever do it and is also capable of being funny occasionally lol
jk rowling is a holocaust denier. and despite her billions of dollars, she can’t threaten to sue me to delete tweets because i live in WOOO freedom eagle built ford tough AMERICA lol
half of gazans are children. *half*. the median age of gazan citizens is 18 and the seige has been in place for 17 years which means that literally *no* gazan child has ever consciously known freedom. *none of them.* every single gazan kid has spent their entire life imprisoned.
a land war in gaza with the US' cooperation will lead to the loss of unimaginable amounts of human life. those people are imprisoned and half of them are children. it is one of the most densely populated areas on the entire planet and there is no way out.
@matthiasellis
young women in the us couldn’t OPEN THEIR OWN BANK ACCOUNTS w/o a male relative or spouse to co-sign until ~5 years before i was born but tell me again how young men today are justified in becoming virulent misogynists because somebody told them the consequences of that history.
@AngelBrittanyxo
@EbThen
yeah their whole worldview is based on the idea that there’s a distinction between “losing a pregnancy” v “killing a baby” despite the treatment they want to ban being exactly the same regardless. they have to pretend “good” ppl will still have access & just “bad” ppl will suffer
@RiverTamYDN
the babies who had the elevated insulin levels didn't even die. but the point stands in that there were a lot of adverse events on the ward including deaths when letby wasn't present & which were excluded. no statistical analysis was done. absolutely bonkers prosecution.
1 year ago today, a severely injured newborn kitten was placed in my hands. he was borderline septic, cold. his prognosis was grim but he wasn't ready to give up. I looked at this tiny thing in my hands and said "I'll stop fighting when you do."
happy 1 year gotcha day, stinky

nerve induction, activates all your pain receptors at once. it’s technically not a “thinking machine” because the thing it does is automatic

@Chinchillazllla
in the lovecraft story the guy was like a colonial white dude doing some kind of business in africa & brought home a gorilla wife that nobody saw because he hid her in a room with the excuse that her culture required it lol. it is unclear whether or not the gorilla wife consented
@shaun_vids
i honestly just think his targets aren’t seeing the criticisms because they’re literally not like. following or friends with any black people lol he’s selling performative antiracism for white suburban facebook moms

@christapeterso
in my county this year we also had “should our school board elect a random dude whose main thing is opposing critical race theory or a longtime teacher in the district who wants to expand libraries” which makes me feel a kinship with tired, sane people in other, redder states lol
@oneunderscore__
i mean, as an alarmist, i’d much rather have just been wrong than have a bunch of folks finally acknowledge i was right after it’s already far too late for far too many people. 🙁
@kenklippenstein
there’s like idk what twelve people in the deep-sea-submersible-owner circle lol and they’re all deeply plugged into military shit too by necessity so i’m not at all surprised their group chat had it figured out pretty much immediately
@mattxiv
if i had a billion dollars and owned a literal castle you would never see me tweet. i would not be on social media. i would not be perceived. i would be naked on a yacht all the time drinking margaritas somewhere nobody would ever find me
@i_zzzzzz
@christapeterso
“it is not fair that this sort of behavior is not reported to the young ladies” you know what yes i agree. i think the young ladies deserve to know
@graceelavery
so much gc argumentation really does just boil down at bottom to ‘people who do not conform to a specific gendered aesthetic that i personally find pleasing are Scary and Bad, wah’. anyway love to you and the whole fam and i hope you’re all able to get some rest here and there ❤️
@IWriteAllDay_
she had zero sexual content in the books, but actually she paid her hogwarts tuition by turning tricks on the back streets of hogsmeade, and now runs an exclusive sex-charm business in diagon alley that can only be accessed by chanting "sex work is work, full decrim now" 13 times
@JIMMIEC907
@ATLeagle
@davidlparsons
prison labor is literally slave labor though. it’s the loophole in the 13th amendment. those guys get like $1 a day or some shit and/or extra privileges; they are discriminated against when they get out but when they’re in they are *exempt from any and all labor laws in the u.s.*
@ATLeagle
@JIMMIEC907
@davidlparsons
functionally they aren't. they can get entry-level USFS jobs for like $13/hr but are nearly entirely shut out of state crews. a bill passed that will expedite expunging felonies for former inmates who have fought fires but it doesn't change the reqs that felons can't get the job.
@kloqowej
deer in coastal california are loaded with enough mercury from eating lichen poisoned by *fog* that it is affecting the mountain lions that eat them
just. contact your local abortion fund, people. send them an email, let them know you want to help, & then wait (patiently! they’re busy right now!) for them to get back to you w whether &/or how you can. support orgs already doing the work instead of trying to invent your own!
@halomancer1
some kinda electrochemical
shit probably. they don’t have zero computers, they have zero computers that “think”. tech is okay if it’s not doing calculations or making decisions basically
@thatfrood
i’m super bad with names (& yes i do all the things that help like repeating it while looking at the person the first time they tell you etc) so this is way funnier to me than it should be. like it really is ok to just say “i’m so sorry please remind me your name again?” lol
@keewa
@Picanhasocialis
literally 1% of her facebook searches were for the families of the babies, collectively, meaning any one person was maybe searched a couple times? surely there could be no motive for a nurse who saw a baby die to wonder how their family might be doing on a holiday but MURDER 🙄
@diannaeanderson
yeah this is like. not ALVIN. say what you want about government projects vs private companies but at least the Navy is likely to have. um. designed a redundancy to the one button that does something, and also a way to get out from the inside if you surface unexpectedly?
@kestrel_thorne
@scumbelievable
i don’t give a shit if they are next of kin; it is deeply unethical to allow anybody to harvest tissue from a dead person who did not consent. look up omri shahar to see what some parents want to do. & israel has now waived any restrictions on such retrieval during this conflict.
