We need to make arithmetic more tedious and math nerds more pedantic.

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp, which reads: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer is known to have survived the eruption, as his name later appears on a list of "freed men." Most bread at the time was baked in community ovens, so customized stamps were used to mark individual families’ and bakeries’ loaves.

GRETA, NOW DO ELON.

somebody sent this to me on EG and I laughed, so y'all get to see it too

This Andrew Tate thing is hilarious.

- Elon Musk reinstates Andrew Tate's Twitter account
- He tweets Greta Thunberg, flexing about his 33 cars
- She claps back at him
- He gets butthurt and posts a video about it, revealing he's in Romania by not hiding his pizza box.
- Romanian police arrest him and reportedly seize the cars he was bragging about
- Someone updates his wikipedia page with this (which is later reverted):

Hey #media folks covering the USA at the moment:

Vandalism is when someone graffiti's "Boobies" on essential infrastructure.

When someone attacks with the intention to destroy essential infrastructure, that's called domestic terrorism. Just because it was done by white people doesn't change the definition.

I don't understand the anti-trans transhumanist techbros out there either.

My dudes, the entire point of transhumanism is radical bodily autonomy.

If you're hung up on what someone's original meatsack was, you're gonna have a bad time in the transhumanist future you're after.

At the @gardinermuseum Wish In Clay project, they ask visitors to sculpt something that represents their home. Behold my sofa at 1:70 scale. #tinythings #sculpture #clay #dollhousefurniture #miniature

My favourite thing about liking a post on Mastodon web is the cute spinny animation it does. Sometimes I like, un-like, and then re-like a post just so I see it spin. Wheeeeeee!

@ami_angelwings Well personally I have always been a big fan of the sea cucumber. It's a deeply simple animal but the most interesting thing about it is that when threatened it EJECTS ITS INTERNAL ORGANS as a defense mechanism, I guess so it can escape a now-distracted attacker. It's related to starfish so it can just regrow them. I've always thought this would be a good power for a superhero. Imagine how badly villains would cope if the Sea Cucumber suddenly ejected a spray of bloody organs

HRT is fucking magic. Just overwhelmed tonight with gratitude and #transJoy about how it has reshaped my body and how lucky I have been.
