In addition to the bad framing he also buys into salience by saying “that’s right” when the interviewer says it’s an important issue in Texas. Your opponents are picking on kids, in this case trans kids who are suffering and dying from discrimination. Lead with that or get a new career.

It’s always anxiety. A woman could walk into the ER and have your elbow fall off and they’ll tell you to learn to manage your stress better and make you take a pregnancy test.

In 1993, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" made a Black man the star of a major sci-fi franchise and his character was like the Platonic ideal of a loving father, a great cook, a man who uplifted others, who was kind and tolerant but MILITANTLY so, and who also had flaws like any other human. Hail Sisko

Avery Brooks as Cpt. Benjamin Sisko in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

A drawing titled "Wild Rabbit vs. Easter Bunny". On the left, there's a wild cottontail bunny sitting down looking alert. On the right, there's a cartoonish Easter Bunny wearing a little polkadot vest and standing next to some colorful eggs. The wild bunny is labeled "Eyes on the sides of the head to watch for predators." and the Easter Bunny "Forward-facing eyes to hunt for meat." Wild bunny: "Active all year." Easter Bunny: "Only active in Spring - otherwise in diapause as a cyst?" Wild bunny: "Walks on four legs." Easter Bunny: "Unusual bipedal stance." Wild bunny: "Plain brown and white fur." Easter Bunny: "Distinctive vest-like markings." Wild bunny: "Gives birth to live young." Easter Bunny: "Steals and redistributes eggs; parasitic reproductive strategy?"

Just finished @tkingfisher.com‘s „Snake Eater“. A beautiful and surprisingly funny book about trauma, friends, and male assholes of varying species. Also about the desert, which I love. And it made me feel better about only once having seen a roadrunner. (Next to Saguaro National Park.)

An older comic about pigeon nests.

A six panel comic called Why Pigeons Build Bad Nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics. A drawing shows a pigeon standing next to a couple eggs and some sticks while looking mildly guilty. Panel 2 says, many people think that pigeons are bad at making nests. Here are three good reasons why pigeon nests look bad. There's a drawing of a pigeon sitting on a pile of sticks. Panel 3 says, One: some birds, like orioles, nest in tree branches, so they weave elaborate structures that can withstand the elements... The image shows a baltimore oriole adds a new piece of grass to her beautiful woven nest. Panel 4 says, ...but rock pigeons evolved to nest in crevices in cliffs, safely tucked away. The image shows a rock pigeon on a nest in a hole in a cliff. Panel 5 says, Two: people domesticated pigeons ages ago. Pigeons didn't need fancy nests because they had human-built homes. The image shows pigeons clustering around a fancy pigeon tower. Panel 6 says, Three: Less time making nest equals more time eating seed. The image shows a pigeon wandering off of its poorly built nest to eat a seed, and it says "It's called math."

Miles O'Brien fan club assemble.

The image features Chief Miles O'Brien, a character from the Star Trek universe, specifically Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The quote, "He was more than a hero. He was a union man," is a popular meme referencing Chief O'Brien's character and his background.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Air conditioning is an absolutely vital life-saving technology on a swiftly-warming planet, and people who claim it's somehow more shameful to cool a home than it is to heat one are idiots. I wrote this a few years ago and still stand by it: foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/16/c...

Climate Change Demands More Air Conditioning

An often-disparaged technology is a lifesaver, not a luxury.
