Anytime anyone talks about living in another time, all I can think is "Nope!". I quite enjoy our advancements - medical, rights, technological, all of it. This site is super interesting from that perspective, to me.

Let's see. This recipe calls for two cloves of garlic. Right. Six cloves it is.

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

We are so, so small. #Artemis
Looking through one of the four windows of the Orion spacecraft, a tiny crescent Earth is illuminated against the blackness of space and grows smaller as the crew journeys closer to the Moon. Part of the window edge is visible; the rest is darkness. [Alt-text slightly revised from ESA/NASA version]

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

Why the conspiratorial right rallied around a flock of ostriches
The anti-vaccine, anti-government crusade to save "the miracle cure birds" is over — and the fringe activists lost.

The day after the City of Winnipeg proposed paint and plastic post bike lanes on Wellington Crescent, a driver crashed into Rob Jenner’s ghost bike. Poetic? Scary? Infuriating?
Photo of the cracked plaque at the ghost bike. The top half of the plaque reads “Rob Jenner. June 5, 1963—June 6, 2024”. On the ground below it, the bottom half reads, “Gone but not forgotten”. The ghost bike is painted white, as is tradition. It is chained to a lamp post, surrounded by crunchy fallen leaves. A top-down photo of the ghost bike showing that the frame is now bent and cracked.

This kid is all Blue Jay fans.
A young boy wearing Blue Jays jersey is comforted by an older man as he leans face down, face buried in the crook of his elbow, on the top of (maybe?) a dugout. The agony is crushing. 

The Jays have lost in extra innings in game seven of the World Series.

Charlie Kirk is a malignant and unrepentant racist, perfect for Fox News. To him, every person of color in every job is unqualified by definition and is there only because of DEI, when in truth most had to be twice as qualified as their white counterparts just to get the interview.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.
Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

A lot of what we think of as classical Italian design is a function of the need for cooling in hot climates before AC. This central courtyard provides shade on all sides. The sun’s heating of the square causes air to rise and pulls air from the building around it, creating an artificial breeze.
