In other news, apparently Mitch McConnell is at death's fuckin door.
You know what to do, people.
Everyone in my notes right now:
#anyway. jokes aside. we cannot allow a precedent of 'technically alive' politicians still holdung office.v #when the orange bites it his people will absolutely latch the fuck onto that it it's an option. #do not go fucking gentle#if you live in kentucky literally just call his office and ask if he's conscious. it is your right to have a cogent senator.
#honestly i feel like 'hi i'd like to know if my senator is dead' has the potential to be a hilarious conversation
@words-writ-in-starlight you're not wrong

notice how they pause instead of all-out running? rat want grab-toss. they are playing a game! and pausing to make sure human has time to grab them and gently toss like the football!
If I was a rat I would enjoy this too
last week I was deep in the trenches ploughing through work and mid-afternoon realised I'd neglected to open the blinds and the room was a little dim, so I got up to do that and discovered that a car had flipped onto its roof directly outside my flat and the entire street was closed and flooded with emergency service while they dragged someone out of the vehicle and packed them into an ambulance. so now every time I open the blinds I'm a little like the dog with the ham sandwich bush. what the fuck could it be today.
How hard is it to dive in front of an arrow to save your loved one?
Feat: most of the cast of min-maxed (minus Jacques who apparently wants to look after his body, and Megan who wanted to let the boys have their moment) and several of their partners!
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could watch a D&D game with these nerds…
The party of deadly nerds. More coming soon!

Great harvest with the Sutherland kale! It's such a cool variety we got from the Real Seeds website, I love the history of it. And we can absolutely agree it is very vigorous and resistant! You can see the holes in some leaves from things trying to eat it, but it doesn't even matter, there's plenty of kale to go around. And it freezes really well too.
Clacton: Decision 2026
Flag Spaffing Cunt vs Count Binface
(For the uninitiated to UK politics: Yes these are the only two candidates for Clacton's MP. No serious party will run against the cunt because he's self aggrandising and only doing this to cover up money laundering and get sympathy for being a poor widdle persecuted man. Count Binface usually only stands in the constituency of the current Prime Minister for the bants, but in order to further humiliate Farage he's going to be the only candidate standing against him (also for the bants). Yes this is normal.)
Ignorant American here. What happens if Binface wins?
Binface, which is the pseudonym of a real person who's electable in the UK, takes the office fair and square, and can hold it as an independent MP until the next general election is called.
Of course, as the current UK Parliament has a Labour supermajority, Binface having a seat has no practical legislative implications, though he might happen to be proactive in office and manage to impulse some projects, who knows? Also, he might do the same as Farage and renounce so that a new complementary election is held, though that would risk that either Farage or one of his followers might regain the seat.

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.
Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.
As an Australian, THIS WOMAN IS A FUCKING GODSEND.
Californian (sup, fellow desert-havers) i've been using this since i saw it and it works so fucken good dude (i often have to put like 8 dogs in my car, so it's extra important my car isn't attempting to go super-nova when we get in)
although if we ARE talking about passive aggression my technique is generally (and I have had a LOT OF PRACTICE developing it lmao) is to interpret what I think they're implying and then say "are you asking me to (x)?" in a very polite tone with a friendly (sincere! not mocking!) smile. I find that this often 1. ceases the tiresome cycle of ignoring passive aggressive behavior -> behavior escalates -> ignore it -> it escalates, and on and on that you get if you simply ignore it, 2. lets the person know that in the future they can just fucking ask you directly for god's sake, and very importantly 3. although I strive not to sound condescending when I do this, it is inescapably and obviously something that I learned to say when talking to toddlers. the people I use this with the most (mostly older female relatives but not infrequently on men as well) will often catch a hint of that and sort of realize that their method of approaching me was childish, not in a derogatory sense, but in the sense that they don't need to try to get me to do stuff in the way they got used to working in the past. they can do it differently.
obviously how effective this is varies wildly based on the relationship, or lack thereof, that you have with the other person. but I find it effective with people who are In Your Life but don't meaningfully have any control over you. quite often it DOES result in increased directness in the future, especially if it's something I end up doing fairly often. and it's not rude; I'm just politely seeking clarification about what is being communicated. it makes the person have to think about what effect they were expecting their behavior to have on my behavior, and then just... tell me straightforwardly. but without escalating the situation or making the person feel 'called out' most of the time.
its very simple but I so much more often see people say "always ignore passive aggressive communication" and while I think that's absolutely a good approach much of the time, especially especially from strangers. it is not especially EFFECTIVE at helping them change how they're approaching communicating with you in the future. in my experience. so. I prefer to use my method when I determine that it might be effective.
I use this technique on my grandmother a lot.
She frequently makes requests by telling me what I want, eg "oh wouldn't you like to.." "don't you think it's be nice if..."
It used to drive me up the wall, but now as an adult with better understanding of what's happening I say "Actually I'm fine with x, but I'd be happy to do y if that's what you want?"
One day she actually asked me, "Why is it so important to you that I say that y is what I want?"
and i got to say "Well I don't like being told what I want. I have enough life experience to know my own desires and limitations, and I can advocate for them when I need to. However your opinions do matter to me and I want to take them into account. It's much less stressful for me to do so when I'm not guessing what's in your mind."
And folks, she Actually Listened.
Later that day she wanted something that ended up not being possible, but because she said so directly I was able to help her find a different way to achieve the same goal!
She still slips up, of course, but it was so good to see her Understand.
I love thissssss. yes I have had similar experiences modeling this behavior for older female relatives. I think a lot of them got real used to having to be indirect to get their needs met and it becomes maladaptive but they get stuck.
if you work in a creative field...or if you do creative hobbies like writing or drawing...you need to make friends with people who don't do those things. you need to befriend normie Steve who has never written a story in his life. and this is because when you are in a creative job or hobby and spend all your time doing that thing, surrounded by very capable people, who you inevitably compare your own progress and skills to, you forget what the baseline human skill at that thing is. and it's usually zero. normie Steve has not written a story since the 3rd grade when his teacher made him do it. he's very good at other things that are not storytelling - but if you tell normie Steve that you wrote a full 300-page book from start to finish, he will think you're some kind of savant. he does not know ANYONE else who has done this. you need this perspective. because when you're constantly on Let's Write Stories dot Com then everyone on Let's Write Stories dot Com will inevitably be like "oh of course everyone on earth has written a book or several at this point!" and you canNOT let yourself think that. that is not even close to the average human experience. you are in a bubble. do not put yourself down. do not give up.
the reaction when someone is misogynistic to a cis woman: "wtf that's not ok you can't treat women like that"
the reaction when someone is misogynistic to a trans woman: "hahaha that's so funny, you're treating them- i mean her, like a woman. gender affirming misogyny am i right hahahaha"

Ritchies Transport №570 [Scania K270UB/Kiwi Bus Builders] seen on a quiet 309 out of the city.
New to Ritchies in 2008, this is a former Northern Express vehicle.
It has been living out of Albany its entire life, until earlier this year when it was sent to South Auckland.
Astute viewers will note that this Scania has a very long wheelbase, especially compared to some of the others I've posted.
This is because it is a full 13 m long chassis. The longest you can get in Aotearoa*. The length being the product of the sheer amount of people being moved across the Shore.
Of course, it pales in comparison to Europe or China, where buses like the MAN Lion's City L A26 and Hunghai DD6141S02, which are 15 m and 14 m with ridiculous wheelbases were once common. But, it works for us. Unfortunately, none of our EVs are 13 m long. At most, they are 12.5, and this is proving detrimental to us.
*for rigid (non-articulated) vehicles and double deckers. Bayes №100 is 19 m long.
Cool! It almost seems to me like the 15 m bus in Germany was nothing but a fad. They were never that common to begin with but are getting even less so as fleets switch to newer generations of buses, often replaced by articulated ones. But a number of them are still around (and probably still being sold if anyone really wants one).
Shame none were made as RHD vehicles. It'd be very funny watching it navigate our roads.

Me: *makes a post about how proposed mining projects from canadian multinationals in the Santurbán páramo are currently threatening to contaminate the drinking water source of my city and 30+ other municipalities (including several indigenous communities) with cyanide*
Guy who creates a new sockpuppet account every time he sees a post about LatAm with the sole purpose of embodying the strawman above:
"Hey I'm gonna get cyanide poisoning from a first world multinational exploiting my country's natural resources"
"lmao white latinos with their 'imperial core' bullshit again"
