the worst thing that can happen to you on the internet is not joining the toaster fucker discord, it's joining the sneer-at-toaster-fuckers subreddit. the fuckers fuck a toaster and go live life, but the sneers spend 24/7 thinking about fucking toasters

The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850.
It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

The EU has 10 pages of regulation on requirements to make Pizza Napoletana
You can't legally sell Pizza Napoletana in the EU if you don't use the exact amounts of dough, sauce, basil leaves, temperature, pH, baking time and temperature, and dozens of other instructions

The recent Eliezer Yudkowsky picture has got me rereading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

If you are not a JK Rowling fan at 15 you have no heart, and if you are not a Big Yud fan at 35 you have no brain.

The one guy who's into crocheting must be sleeping with a truly enormous amount of women.

I’ve never seen a woman have a hobby that wasn’t introduced to her by a man she’s sleeping with.

Talked to an Iranian friend who mentioned her LinkedIn. Imagine being trapped between a war and one of the most brutal regimes in the world and still having to mind your fucking LinkedIn.

I think the RW's - populists' as well as radicals' strange draw towards wearing polo shirts is seriously holding them back. Mosley understood something crucial when he made turtlenecks the go to attire for his boys.

This was my actual impression while in Iran too fwiw, the hijab suppresses individuality and makes every woman look the same. Particularly when it's standardized uniform style as for schools and many jobs.
The top panel depicts a group of women wearing hijab. The bottom panel depicts the same or similar women in private settings without hijab. In the bottom panel, the women are differentiated. They have distinct hairstyles, expressions, postures, personalities, and social relations. They appear as individuals with an inner life. The reader is invited to see them as complex human beings. Nothing in the image visually distinguishes morality police from ordinary veiled women. The representational function is carried by the veil itself. the top panel are denied the very thing the women in the bottom panel possess: a visible inner life. Their subjectivity becomes inaccessible until the veil is removed. reproducing a familiar Orientalist assumption the Muslim woman becomes fully intelligible as a human subject only when she is separated from the symbols and practices associated with Islamic public life.

Nice argument, unfortunately it is demolished by this image of a precocious boy playing chess.

The Skyrim/Vikings/Neopagan aesthetic is pretty dumb, but I have to give it some credit for making people interested in Scandinavia for other reasons than the welfare state.

There are some parallels to draw with anime and k-dramas here, albeit at a smaller scale.

This is close to the platonic ideal of a tweet, one of those posts that this platform was made for, and which can only exist here.

Men are naturally more attractive than women on average, that's why women need makeup
This isn't me being gay, it's science
Look at a peacock or a cardinal, male vs female, females get mogged
Greek statues dedicated to the peak aesthetic form? Overwhelmingly men
