When Apelius was put on trial, he was accused of using magic to seduce his wife. His defense was "if I really was a powerful enough sorcerer to seduce my wife, what punishment could the court possibly sentence me to?"

Every time someone says "we need a new political party in America to represent all the people in the center!" I am reminded of the Dutch Centre Party aka the owners of one of the funniest opening lines of a wiki article:

we were talking about the criminalization of homosexuality in class and my professor (who as far as i know isn't in any way queer) said something i quite enjoyed in that. well the exchange was more or less this: a student asked a question (doesn't really matter what exactly just know that i was rolling my eyes So hard internally) that i was and the prof looked at the student and was like (i'm paraphrasing here this conversation was not in english) Do you have any queer friends? and the student went Uhhhh in a manner that made it clear the answer was probably no and the prof said Actually statistically speaking you most likely do. If I had to divide this room into two groups the way to do it would not be "people with queer friends" and "people without queer friends" it would be "people whose queer friends are out to them" and "people whose queer friends aren't". And if you're in the latter category you should consider why that is--if maybe your behavior is indicating to the queer people around you that you're not safe to come out to. to come back to your question if you really want to know about queerness there's a very simple way of doing that: you make yourself a person queer people feel comfortable talking to about their experiences and then you fucking listen to them when they do (the fuck is not paraphrased) (there was a fuck involved) (frankly king shit)

atoms are made of positive parts, negative parts, and neutral parts. the positive parts are attracted to the negative parts and repelled by each other, like magnets. but there's a second force that attracts positive and neutral parts to each other. to have an atom, you need the two forces that govern the parts of the atom to attain celestial harmony, which means you need enough neutral parts to make the positive parts stick together in the middle.
sometimes an atom is permissible but celestially disharmonious, usually because it's too big. there's also an occult diagram that determines which forms of atom are harmonious, but it's usually because it's too big. when this happens, the angels take offense and break it apart. this makes atoms that aren't celestially harmonious into smaller atoms that are, and is where balloon gas comes from: the form of balloon gas is particularly favored by God.
that's all well and good, as such things go. there are rocks that make balloon gas because God thinks their atoms are too big. that's fine. we can use it for balloons. but there's another type of celestial disharmony, caused by a secret third force that does this, where a neutral part of an atom can break into a positive part, a negative part, and a secret third thing called an "anti neutrino", and the atom gets bigger. you can't use this to make explosions, that's a third thing, but you can use it to light exit signs. you probably can't use it to turn base metals into gold either; that's a fourth thing, which is maybe the opposite of the third.
it's really hard to make gold because there's only one kind that isn't so celestially disharmonious that it curses you to death with beams. we wouldn't like gold if it cursed us to death with beams. it does curse us to death, of course, but the harmonious kind doesn't do it with beams.

The ADHD paradox where you want to write your name across the sky in letters of fire a thousand kilometers across while billions cry out in adulation, but also your bed is VERY comfy and 9 AM meetings basically start at 9:05 so a few more minutes won't make a difference...

If I had a serious budget and a Time Machine, the first thing I'd do is set up a big asynchronous temporal research project, with small teams of a dozen or so researchers each spending a year or so in the late Cretaceous, structured such that a research base would be continuously occupied over the course of five hundred years, for the goal of domesticating as many theropods as possible. I want a fancy velociraptor.

So apparently Ukraine just blew up a third of russia's bomber fleet via a bunch of quadcopters stuffed into shipping containers that they just, like, parked outside airbases in siberia. Like well over 100 russian planes destroyed lmao

Nobody is actually certain who has control of the tv in the kitchenette at work. The other day they put on a chess twitch stream, then there was Captain America at 2x speed, today was Competitive Forklifting.

Pack it up everyone, I've made a blunder and reacted to a coworker's DM on the work slack with 😿 instead of 😢 so I guess it's time for us to go hurl ourselves into the harbor
