WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

It’s world narcolepsy day! If you fall asleep in public, on transit, so much that it’s a bit with your friends, do yourself a favor and ask your doctor about getting an MSLT. That is not normal behavior and don’t wait until you total your car (like me when I was 17) to get diagnosed!

The thing I like about the X-Men is that if you join it doesn’t matter if you were an assassin or raised in a murder cult or worshipped as a god, at some point they will make you try to teach geometry to a bunch of fifteen year olds.

Maurice Noble was THE cartoon background designer. I love how much he was able to fuck around around and get so abstractly graphic, yet no one in the audience ever batted an eye because his designs lent so much personality and energy to the cartoons they were used in.

Here’s the opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... “The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics.”
The undisputed record shows that the challenged actions constituted unlawful retaliation in violation of the First Amendment, and that Anthropic was denied the pre-deprivation process required under the Fifth Amendment. The record further shows no material dispute that
Secretary Hegseth's decision to designate Anthropic a supply chain risk violated the governing statutory scheme, 10 U.S.C. § 3252, and was arbitrary and capricious. Though the Department
of War is undisputedly free to select the Al vendor of its choice, the evidence demonstrates that the broad measures imposed on Anthropic were illegal and baseless. Summary judgment is granted in Anthropic's favor on all claims, except for the ultra vires separation of powers claim and certain claims concerning Agency Defendants who undisputedly did not take any relevant
action or who took only interim measures, on which judgment is entered in Defendants' favor. The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics.

"By swapping disenshittification for tariffs, Canadians can go back to drinking delicious bourbon & make money from that farmer by selling him the jailbreaks he needs to fix his tractor without paying the $200+ John Deere tax." I'm in for a future of carrots, not sticks. Vive disenshittification.

Don't be fooled! This is NOT a venomous snake. It just looks like one. You're looking at a Giant Dead Leaf Mantis (Deroplatys desiccata), native to Malaysia, Philippines & Borneo. These little guys are masters of disguise. This is their "scary sharp-toothed predator" trick, but they have MORE!

Well, there's another Texas book ban and this time The Dog Knight is on the list. If you ever had a doubt what these bans are about, this should tell you. There is nothing sexual in this book, not even anything political. This is about a non-binary kid finding their place with help from talking dogs
