Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. Been feeling like shit, and a resurgent sleep disorder has left me utterly wiped out most of the time for the last week or so. Doing my best to get a handle on it all.
In the meantime, here are some creepy pics of Trump and His Gang (both current and former members). Also consider this an open thread. (No trolls!)
And one last Trump, just for the hell of it.
@ Vicky P
That’s my new favourite sentence in all of academia; just for the ambiguity re who’s wearing the pants.
ETA: sorta ninja’d by moggie, but glad that’s the bit we’re all focusing on 🙂
So who’s going to give us art of frogs in taffeta pants?
Great article, but could someone please copy the part of the essay from “Nowadays, the story of Hartsoeker’s homunculus…” to the end here for me please? With sugar and whipped cream and a cherry on top? I was reading it on my phone, and could not get the little pop-up ad (for reading more articles on the site) to go away for anything.
So if someone has the time to do so…please? :3
Why not both?
NPR. There are some illustrations here.
“No, no, no. I ordered the pants in lapis blue, but these are cerulean blue! The experiment is ruined!”
I like to think though that the frogs were still very chuffed with them and immediately went down the frog disco to show off.
@Victorious Parasol
Thank you for the very interesting article. It certainly explains why the rhythm method has been such a failure for people. Second team sperm storage.
I too want to see those frogs in their taffeta pants.
@David Futrelle
Please feel better and try and give yourself a break mentally too. Try not to let the anxieties of being ill and sleepless make things worse. A lot tall order I know.

Happy Anniversary! It sounds like a wonderful evening. I love the sounds of your granddaughters outfit. I see little girls all of the time in the sparkly, tulle skirts and casual shirts. It’s a look I wish I could emulate.
Wait, so sperm don’t lift, do crossfit and paleo diet and then have a melee fight over who gets to score with the egg? Disappointing. Even sperms are beta cucks these days!
I blame soy.
The best pair of comments on Trump’s 1 a.m. tweet that I saw was a picture of the farmhouse from Wizard of Oz and the witch’s feet sticking out from under it, followed by the comment “FAKE SHOES!”
‘A frog he would a – wooing go…’
@Surplus
Not that that I know of.
I mean, the nice thing about Minecraft is that you only buy it once.
There’s no monthly fee, unless you’re running a server or a realm. If you’re playing on someone else’s server, they may ask for donations to offset costs, but it’s usually more like a pledge drive than a subscription.
Java edition’s still under US $30, which is jaw-droppingly cheap for a multiplayer game.
Bwahahaha. Q theorists are getting their posts deleted on Reddit for asking how Cohen and Manafort going to jail supports their absurd beliefs.
Also, I found an endocrinologist! Appointment next week, and the doctor seems pretty chill, especially for where I live. A friend of mine gets his prescription from them, so I’m pretty hopeful.
I suppose by now everyone has heard this, but…

i am really struggling to figure out if this is real… (something I’ve been doing for oh, a couple years, now….)
@Bakunin
That’s awesome news!
Thank you, Moggie!
Sleep problems are never a fun time. Take your time and do what you need to.
Get well soon David.
congratulations @Mildly
and @VP nthing the thanks for that article. The whole site looks interesting.
I had a feeling that article would be appreciated here. 🙂
On which note:
And yes, it’s real.
Thanks sfhc…
I have no problem seeing the pOTUS in a classroom full of grade schoolers… even coloring with them (though given the problems the world faces, he really can’t spare the time…). What concerns me is how much he seems at home with 6-year-olds…
And of course there’s the issue of him FUCKING UP THE COLORING…
John McCain died
@Victorious Parasol Thanks for the link to the article. It was really interesting. I already knew sperm could actually live for at least 7 days, but I could never find any science acknowledging anything beyond 5 days.
Feel better soon David! 🙂
And at this time of year don’t forget about allergies. Can affect sleep as well. I saw this in stark relief when my AC failed 🙁
Was running it about non stop because it’s been very hot and humid here, is a bit cooler so the other day when it crapped out I figured, well it’s getting cooler and I will deal with it later. I’ll open up some windows and get some fresh air!
And then WHAM! the allergies hit me!
You can just smell the mold too. I was stuck in traffic by a patch of woods and you could just smell the mold. Looks like the ragweed is doing quite well also.
:/
People with sleep issues may want to look into allergies. You probably already know, but in case not.
Also, this may be useful info for others, shopping for AC systems, looking for alternatives. There are “portable air conditioners” which are on wheels and can be moved around. You may not need to AC the whole place, but a window AC only does one room. I saw these portable things, and they looked interesting.
But they were expensive. $800 + range. I looked at them again lately, and they have come down in price. I saw some in the $300 range.
For others in the same predicament, or planning future AC ideas, if you haven’t seen these they might be worth a look, and they have come down in price.
Air cleaning is a big part of it all too. I didn’t realize how dependent I’d become on the AC to not only cool the air, but clean it too.
I might need to get something sooner. I thought I could put this off. For now I can, it’ll get worse though. Ah, lovely autumn, it’s cooler and drier and the winds start to blow. All that stuff that’s been moldering on the forest floor around. And the dried up ragweed.
Don’t forget about that, either.
Season’s Greetings!
Remember, some things, once seen, cannot be forgotten….
