  Terrible mistake to think they don't know all this. They're planning to kill the overwhelming majority of the human race and replace us with white collar AI and blue collar robots. All they're going to need you for is personal servants. (Which includes sex slaves, to be sure.) How do they not understand global warming?! They do. They plan to solve it by getting rid of almost all humans, 7 in 8, 9 in 10. Somewhere the actual number has been written down.

  From a thread on fat, middle aged men wearing spandex: I've been in reasonably good shape my whole life. For all of the thousands of hours I've spent in the gym, I have literally never seen someone shame or mock someone else for getting out there and trying. Now, maybe that's the bubble of SoCal? I've never been severely obese myself, but I was up at 240 at one point.

  This was new to me. "Recognising that, since the horrific Hamas-led attack of 7 October 2023, which itself constitutes international crimes, the government of Israel has engaged in systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide ..." 3 pages. https://genocidescholars.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IAGS-Resolution-on-Gaza-FINAL.pdf

  Fellow elsewhere called himself an artist, then retracted it. Folks, like Stephen King's algorithm regarding "professional" -- if you ever cashed a check -- if you ever reached one person with your work and made their daily path easier, you're an artist for my purposes.

  Used to be possible to be a bright, decent person and vote Republican. Not since Bush the Younger, maybe, and certainly not since Trump. You're stupid or you're awful, and most often both.

  Findings:  In this cohort study of 1865 older adults without dementia followed up for up to 15 years, higher diet quality was associated with lower dementia risk. Among participants at higher risk, only a dietary pattern with lower inflammatory potential showed consistent inverse associations. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2850780

  I'm a big fan of the concept of smart glasses. I'm blind in one eye, anything that helps me navigate the world a little better is a good deal. The use case for a camera on those assistive devices is obvious. There is no need for them to store video or photographs to provide that functionality.

  The failure to accept error is the root of fascism, I think. Of course everyone makes mistakes. But when you've internalized that admitting to error is weakness, you can't fix it. And people who point out your error *must* be doing so with malevolent intent. It's an infinite series, or would be for humans who lived forever. Now you've made *three* mistakes: - the initial mistake - the refusal to learn from it - the blaming of those who point it out

  Folks, Israel has 100 nukes, something like that. The hysteria about Israel's "right to exist," "from the river to the sea?" Israel is going nowhere. You can safely condemn its genocide in Gaza now.

  During the Viet Nam War, a reporter asked AJ Muste, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" Muste replied: "Oh, I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me."

  There are only about five supplements that are of any proven worth. Longevity supplements are not among them. 312 of 334 studies were borked. This isn't even a scandal in my mind, just pathetic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy5ntNFqWoM

  LeBron is leaving the Lakers. He got us a ring: I didn't want him to come and still wonder what would have happened if we'd developed our young talent instead of signing him into our cap space. ... But the young talent became AD and then Luka, with a ring along the way. Good luck, Bron. You busted your ass every time I watched you.

  I'm not ecstatically happy about next year's Lakers team, but I am hopeful. Young guys who can still improve -- Austin Reaves, 28, is now the Lakers oldest player. But watching the Celtics burn down their own house, THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT.

  Connor and I are on our way up to the Bay area. Jodi's watching Charlie *and* Raylan for four days, so that'll be two little dogs losing their minds because Connor and I are gone -- Raylan's never seen me go away, since I've had him. But Charlie and Raylan both know this house, and Jodi, and they'll be OK.

  Want to lower abortion rates? Make contraception highly available. Don't want to do that? You're lying about abortion being murder. You can reach that conclusion by a number of different paths, of course.

  @LilPecan@mastodon.social Jesus Christ, let people enjoy themselves. No one has to read the trivia of your life if they don't want to. But plenty of people get socialization they would not have otherwise. I write about myself. Absolutely no intention to stop either.

  I love those videos where a guy cooks a big meal -- bread, steak, veggies, tea -- in the wilderness, with nothing but a knife, tea kettle, and a big flat rock. ... And the $50,000 vehicle that brought him to the wilderness, and ten grand of video editing equipment, and an entire global trade system that brought him his spices and oils and meats and veggies... People watching that thing thinking, I'll be ok when civilization fails, I know where there's a flat rock.

  Top 15 TV shows? Twilight Zone Maverick Doctor Who Dick Van Dyke Star Trek Mary Tyler Moore Rockford Files Hill Street Blues NYPD Blue Quantum Leap Dexter Justified Person of Interest Breaking Bad Better Call Saul Just missing the cutoff? Game of Thrones, Battlestar Galactica, and Lost, all of which stepped on their own dicks on the way out. Gotta stick the landing, if you're the kind of show that has one.
