  • And it’s getting harder to distinguish. I mean… look at Jasmine Crockett, since Mamdani’s win, liberals have started cosplaying as progressives. You can tell, because the only thing they do is point out the problems, but never propose a solution, while people like Bernie and Mamdani didn’t stop with pointing out “healthcare and housing are expensive”, they ran on actual solutions like medicare and rent-freezing.

    Explanation for the people out of the loop:

    Anish Kapoor has bought the exclusive rights to Vantablack in art, meaning other artists are not allowed to use it.

    He was critizised heavily by painter Stuart Semple, who told Kapoor to #ShareTheBlack. Semple in turn created the “world’s pinkest pink,” alongside the “world’s most glittering glitter.” And the license for those state that both can be purchased by anyone in the world, except Anish Kapoor.










  • My friends don’t know anything about my hometown, so I just name everything after old street names or old parts of town.

    • Cabbageford
    • Countsclearing
    • Blackstakes
    • Turnpike
    • Holyspring
    • Stepsstream
    • Canyard
    • Cattlestream Valley
    • On The Height
    • Cottageville
    • Stalkpond
    • Firecreek
    • Meadowsmill
    • Sticks
    • Bogbrook
    • Bogbridge
    • Kingsroad
    • Goldenworth

    It feels incredibly realistic, because it is.



  • To be honest, I could have had a better paycheck doing industrial plumbing for an international chem-corp near my hometown, but I really love solving problems and puzzles and to work with my mind, not my hands. Programming was my hobby since I was 16, and I just made my hobby into a job. Still love it.

    Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.

    Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.

    Bird cladistics is wild!
