    Looks like we are heading into three days of #ClimateDystopia in #Portland from all the #WildfireSmoke. https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/usa/oregon/portland

    The earth just swallowing #ElonMusk would get us a good way to that goal.

    Bananas that the advice from someone that works at a lung health center is to let your kids go out in the smoke until they have a headache or trouble breathing. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/wildfire-smoke-health-effects-how-to-protect-air-quality-9.7297727 h/t @LauraleeDukeshire #WildfireSmoke #AirQuality

    &amp;quot;SpaceX stock climbs as shares available for trading more than double&amp;quot; Ah, yes, just like I was taught on my first day of economics class: as supply goes up prices must surely go up as well. #SpaceX #StockMarket #BasicFuckingEconomics

    Why won&amp;#39;t the #BBC take my money and let me watch #AnnDroid? https://youtube.com/shorts/7U_dXbBUqmc

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@TomSullivan/117068268754498728 This actually seems like fantastic news, because it means that &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; people are not buying into the fascism, and they can only get the dregs of society on their side.

    For fuck sakes, #Democrats. If nominees say the 2020 election could have been compromised due to #ElectionFraud, ASK THEM IF THE 2024 ELECTION WAS COMPRIMISED DUE TO ELECTION FRAUD.

    The time traveler appears in a flash of light and levels their weapon at a tech CEO. &amp;quot;Have you come to stop me from inventing sentient AI that will destroy the world?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;No, you destroyed the world and couldn&amp;#39;t even manage to build a sentient AI.&amp;quot; #MicroFiction #SciFi #AI #TimeTravel

    I feel like if we offered people a shorter work week in exchange for using less fossil fuels, we could have solved #ClimateChange decades ago. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/02/world-response-iran-war-energy-crisis-oil

    I wonder if the airport paged Duke Swanson to ask if he is a #ParksAndRec fan.

    American #conservatives must love using our public restrooms, knowing that the sandpaper being dispensed is hurting the buttholes of black, brown, and queer people as much as their own. #SwimmingPoolRacism

    They blew up two stuck aircraft that apparently cost $114 million each to rescue a single dude from #Iran?! Imagine how many Americans we could have saved with $228 million dollars in health care.

    So the #Artemis2 is flying through space leaving a trail of urine behind it?! https://youtube.com/shorts/wHGnKknPWu4

    I appreciate how so many television and social media personalities have been using humor to help us digest the news and to publicly shame #Trump and the rest of our leaders, but on Proposed War Crime Day, give it a rest and simply state that #WarCrimes are bad and we should not do them. #Iran

    @quephird Is this your first time watching it? Such a good show.

    The earth is a sphere, so I guess it works for these hasidic guys at the airport to be facing west, but sure it seems like their prayers are taking the long way around to Jerusalem.

    In all these #multiverse stories, the focus is always on &amp;quot;what if this regular person were rich an famous in this world?&amp;quot;. Personally, I&amp;#39;m more interested in the opposite. If I get access to the multiverse, I want to go to the world where #ConanOBrien ended up as a mid-level manager at a pharmaceutical company and gives the most off-the-wall power point presentations for people who don&amp;#39;t realize how lucky they are to see him perform in such an intimate venue.

    I want to break into a children&amp;#39;s bookshop, grab every copy of &amp;quot;The Emperor&amp;#39;s New Clothes&amp;quot;, and on the last page append the line &amp;quot;Shut up kid, or the emperor will kill us all.&amp;quot;

    Good news, #Ebikes have finally become cheap and common enough to be locked and abandoned on the street until they deflate and rust!

    I don&amp;#39;t understand why the days of the week are so different in other languages? Do they not pray to the same Norse gods as the english-speaking world?

    RE: https://wandering.shop/@cstross/116210230488831639 Congratulations humanity on replicating the first organic brain within a computer, where it can virtually live out an existence of disembodied confusion and distress. Can&amp;#39;t wait until we start on animals and humans!

    Lol, most of these clips on YouTube shorts where they add a random background song to a show are kinda annoying, but I would love to watch a whole episode of #StarTrek with the Interstellar soundtrack. https://youtube.com/shorts/w4xUKn6-5L0

    When I watched #TronLegacy, I thought casting #GarrettHedlund as the lead was a huge mistake since the character seemed so wooden, but after seeing him chew up the scenery in #TulsaKing, it is clear that #Tron truly wasted his potential, rather than vice versa. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m4SRJwAgO7Y
