American socialism isn't a specific ideology, it's just "what if we actually solve some of the problems" which is appealing when contrasted with the mainstream parties' positions of "don't solve problems" and "problems are good and we want more of themâ
How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:
Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:
also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say âOh, my God, what is that thing?â and then scream and cut out his mic.
Everyone forgets Michael Collins and itâs fucking tragic.
Outer Wilds *definitely* based its astronaut characters on these kinds of transcripts. They're just so casually ridiculous and bounce off each other in the same ways. The "come now, Buzz, don't refer to them as big mothers. Give them some scientific name" feels like it came straight from Hornfels talking to Feldspar
I accidentally did a Wikipedia binge about 1st wave feminism and fashion and stumbled upon the 1890s bicycle suit. Do people know about this? Why didn't anyone tell me about this? This is dope as hell.
It's old-fashioned. It's modern. It's butch. It's femme. It's snazzy. It's practical.
Wikipedia talks about the bloomers and the leg-o-mutton sleeves, but I'm also noticing a lot of these outfits have absolute supervillain lapels, which I also like a lot.
finally, someone else giving some love to the much-slept-on bicycle suit.
I just gotta step back and say this post makes me feel like I got a pretty good set of people I follow that I saw it
"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?
This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.
Iâm actually kind of glad aspartame is the latest food additive boogeyman for crunchy people, not because I think it is terrible for humanity but because it is a major migraine trigger for me and makes me violently ill. Itâs hidden in so many things for no fucking reason, liquid medicine, mints, drinks that arenât even marked diet. There are so many times Iâve bought something that had sugar in it and looked at the ingredients and realized it also had aspartame in it OR drunk something and gotten sick and realized it was on the ingredient list. Itâs my fault for not checking but there are so many other artificial sweeteners that donât have that controversy behind them and donât have so many people reporting adverse effects but itâs like aspartame manufacturers are pitching their product left and right. Itâs kind of nice to see products marked with âNO ASPARTAMEâ now.
"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012
Man I love driving an EV on a daily basis, and I can't wait for more people to try them and realize how great they are... But Wow does it suck that my favorite way to get around the US is avoiding interstates and taking state highways. Literally no fast chargers outside the interstate in most areas. How am I gonna find my awesome little diners with the good pie? How am I gonna keep from going crazy when the road has no curves and no trees? How am I going to stumble on the great little parks and towns?
I feel like it's a really common trope to have a non-biological entity disgusted by squishy bio things like secretions and flesh and stuff but. Wouldn't they utterly lack revulsion to those things? The reason we are repulsed by things like blood and shit and corpses is because they are intimately connected to our bodies, are uncomfortable reminders of our animal mortality, can be vectors of harm, or are a signal of danger. A being made of energy, metal, or plastic does not have the same sympathetic connections to these things that we do, except as a kind of intellectual sympathy for what people they care about fear. Disgust is repulsive, and you can only repel something if it's close to you. I think the things that viscerally repel a non-biological mind are not going to be biological.
Hmm... Maybe not as extreme as a corpse, but if you handed someone composed of mostly metal an extremely corroded piece of copper, I could see them reacting like you just handed them a very moldy orange.
To reach "handed a decomposing roadkill squirrel" level, maybe give them something with identifiable parts similar to what is in their body, like corroded circuit boards, batteries, wire connectors. That's a more direct reminder of mortality.
need to beam this tweet directly into everyone's minds right now
I just learned that the Russian word for âladybugâ translates to âGodâs Little Cowâ
Itâs the same in Irish! bĂłĂn DĂŠ!
in hebrew itâs âour rabbi mosesâs cowâ
Oh I love this news!!!!
Multiple cultures upon seeing a ladybug for the first time: âWhoâs cow is this????â
It feels like some early humans were naming things and one of them ran out of ideas.
Human 1: (points at animal) Whatâs that?
Human 2: Cow.
Human 1: (points at bug) Whatâs that?
Human 2: ⌠little cow.
Human 1: But itâs so much smaller. Who would have use for such a small cow?
Human 2: (panicking but in too deep to stop now) God.
The âLadyâ in the name âladybugâ is the virgin Mary. People just cannot stop giving religious names to this bug.
The reason for this was that if you lived in an agrarian society then your survival was a throw of the dice every year, depending on the success of the crops. A failed crop year is a very hard year where deaths are expected. And if you grew a cereal like wheat, there were several things that could cause your crops to fail, but one of the big ones was if you happened to get a fuckton of aphids. You know what eats aphids? Ladybugs! If there are lots and lots of ladybugs around, there was a good chance that itâd be a good crop year! They were little crop protectors! When your family lives or dies on the success of that crop, of course theyâd be seen as a blessing and given an appropriate name!
That is such an interesting etymology!!!!
And entomology too i guess
in German theyâre Marienkäfer which also pretty much means âMaryâs Beetleâ
In French itâs âGood Lordâs Beastâ
Not even a cow, itâs just a little Creature but we know for sure God loves it.
In Dutch itâs âLieveheersbeestjeâ, the Good Lordâs Little Beast
A liddol creeture
In the UK theyâre ladybirds, which I believe is the older term that ladybug took over from, but with a somewhat more fanciful suffix.
In Portuguese, itâs Joaninha, which means Little Joan
one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.
Sci-fi movies from the 50s-70s are so hilarious because theyâll genuinely have some of the most progressive, ahead of their time ideas, but women can NOT wear pants

Hello?
Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy
Damn, that's useful
Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!
