Over on Instagram, I’ve been running a bracket to determine the biggest news story of 2022. The votes have narrowed it down from 12 to these 3. #politics #2022recap

Which do you think is the biggest?

🎶 Greta Thunberg emasculated Andrew Tate / Chaya Raichik spotted at the U.S. Capitol gate / Trump’s tax returns to be released / Tesla stock value decreased / Elon Musk is an attention whore / I can’t take it anymore / WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE 🎶

If you ever feel like annoying someone, repeatedly insist that “I” is technically a palindrome.

Found some interesting flavors.😬

One of the best decisions I made in 2022 was leaving Twitter for Mastodon.

Victory of Ukraine!!! The wish of many Ukrainians this New Year's Eve. I want to ask everyone who supports Ukraine: - Please do not forget about us, continue to support us, we need you!!! We are strong, we will stand, but please stand with Ukraine! We are infinitely grateful to you that all this time we felt your support and care. Thank you for your love💙💛🙏🇺🇦

Excited to tell my dad’s side of the family that if it’s too hard to not deadname me they are free to call me Dr. Lastname

#Finland’s PM #SannaMarin’s New Year’s message 31 Dec 2022

Thousands of people.. have died or been wounded in #Ukraine & so many have lost loved ones. We will help the Ukrainians for as long as they need it. Russia started this war, but they will not win it.

Full rain guage in two days. I'm gonna start gathering animals in breeding pairs and figuring out what a cubit is.

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat.
"Again?" said the dog.
"They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes."
The dog whined.
"Same procedure as last year?" said the cat.
"Please."
The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks.

You see that thin line of light? That's the edge of the atmospheric skin surrounding our planet. All the climate occurs in that little collection of gases, and that's what we're flooding with greenhouse gas contaminants.

I am so sick of seeing people defend Elon Musk's #toxic behavior by pointing to his #autism.

Let me be clear as someone with cerebral palsy and ADHD: Autism/neurodivergence/disability is never an excuse for malicious actions. Plenty of people are autistic without being assholes.

I wonder how many folks out there know you can take just about any course at MIT for free.

They just post everything online after the in-person course is complete. Lectures, supplements, tests, everything.
