Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

An unaccountable institution that murders people should be disbanded. This should not be controversial. If instead you give that institution more money, resources and status, as we have seen, it will murder more people.

What is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

As it shuts down today pour one out for Stadia, which enabled us to ship three years of Destiny content from our homes. It would have been a much different road without it. 🍻

Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) is a cool mushroom & all (reindeer guard their patches so they can trip on it!) but I'm tired of every pop-culture mushroom being the same red-cap with white-warts design. For your consideration, other pretty mushrooms 🧵

Wikipedia editors CANNOT DECIDE WHAT TO CALL THIS THING. By my unofficial count, the 15-year-long debate is ~65k words — as long as a novel (thread)

Hey libs, I just turned on all of my gas stoves (5) and didn't even light them, hope you're not too triggered! Feeling really sleepy so might take a quick nap, but just so we're clear, you'll have to pry them from my cold

Why are ethics questions always like: "is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?" And not: "is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"
