It wasn't me. But personally I think it's nice the A is there. Punk is inherently a bit artsy already, but you can take it up a notch still.

Yes, some hard sci-fi could be I think. There's some tech-punk/cyberpunk, but what about sciencepunk? Biopunk, geopunk.. might there be some, but is particle-physicspunk a thing? Mathpunk? And all STEAM-punk at the same time? Not debating, the thought came literally in the shower, like I don't even have the meaning very clearly thought out, so I would be very curious if you have any suggestion you think can fit.

adding "arts" to STEM is akin to "but all lives matter"

It most certainly is not.

but that's not what we're talking about

I'm talking about a particular genre or theme I made up out of a word play. What are you talking about? And, more importantly, how including Arts with STEM is on the level of white supremacist dog whistles?

You're free to make STEMpunk a thing if you want. That would be fun, ironically that would be slightly on line with creating 'all lives matter' to oppose BLM.

I'm not sure, current or very-near-future inspired tech + Current or near future (higher because it's rising) inequality + Punk, as in rebellious, anti-authoritarian, DIY spirit...

As I said in another comment, I don't know exactly how to define it, or even if it should have a definition so strict as to define the exact time, could be more or less futuristic. But I think I could do the opposite, I'd know if something is STEAMpunk when I see it.

Maybe a subset of the sci fi could be, but most of it isn't very punk. Belters in the expanse could fit a spacepunk theme. Star Wars or Star Trek are not punk at all even if some species or characters could be considered so, they're usually portrayed as the baddies and the main theme is quite the opposite.

I thought about the word play before the actual meaning of the term I try to coin, so I don't have it really well defined. Maybe modern times are starting to be a bit STEAMpunk, and it could became more so. With the attack on science, education, health care, infrastructure... might be a rise in massive backyard telescopes (they exist, astropunk as fuck), basement medical labs, underground universities, communities taking it in their on hands and repairing roads or even upgrading the potholes with sculptures or fountains and they're now pedestrian only streets, DIYing solar trams/street cars... I think all of these fit the STEAMpunk theme.

I can consider acceptable for the kettles to be connected to the internet if, and only if, they answer always with a 418 status code.

“Three female astronauts can be impregnated by the same man on the same session… it finds its way,” Smyth replied.

Not buying it at all... I'm not saying it's impossible but the odds must be astronomical (no pun intended) just for one pregnancy... not even in a million years. Life finds a way, I know, but come on!

interest payments on the debt are expected to exceed $1 trillion this year

If my finger-counting math is right ye yanks, on average (including children), are paying ~$250 a month just in interests... I ain't no economist but that seems like a lot.

It's true you don't see many punk women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for punk men.

And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no punk women, and that punks just spring out of holes in the ground!

Which is, of course, ridiculous.

... but gayer.

I see people all the time who seem to go overboard

I don't have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that 'overboard' here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person's) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.

Hard to say yet, if Microsoft is responsible or not. The thing is they certified it, as a stable and tested driver. But it isn't just a driver, but an interpreter/loader that loads code at runtime and executes it. In kernel mode. If Microsoft knew this they're definitely responsible for certifying it, but maybe crowdstrike hid this behavior until it was deployed to the customers.

There's no such a thing as 'middle class'. The working class is paying all of it.

*Johnathan Tifa

Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

For anyone wondering, it's tahini. Which I doubt is hiding in most of their target audience pantries, honestly.

Setting aside that none of this would be happening without Israel fuckery, this is a new low. Scalping literal humanitarian aid to resell at a thousand to your starving neighbors... 'Your children look quite like skeletons, you must be pretty desperate, so I'm rising the price!'. Fuck this world mate..

Gamma rays do travel faster than light through some media, but obviously not faster than c, the speed of light in a vacuum.

Science

Do you have a source for that? Because everything I've read says completely the opposite. The 'science' I'm aware of says that genetic tendency to aggression is very much a thing, even in humans.

First, obligatory disclaimer: I'm as anti-Trump as the next one, fuck that fascist turd. That being said let's give them numbers a bit of context:

• That figure is for all the time that Trump's been in office, and in absolute terms is around $9.135T (as of May 2026, so a bit more now).

• Some numbers for other presidents: Joe Biden $9.209T (+32%), Barack Obama $8.438T (+70.9%), George W Bush $4.218T (+72.6%), Bill Clinton $1.263T (+28.6%). Source.

• At the current interest rate Americans are gonna pay $1T just in interests in 2026. That averages ~$250 per person, or ~$625 per tax payer a month.

• Interest payments are forecast to double in the next ~10 years.
