Just a friendly reminder that plague is prevalent, including in the western United States (see, prairie dogs), with multiple cases annually. It is also highly treatable and, yes, lab acquired infections (incl. fatal cases) have happened over the years, including e.g., UChicago.

why are we getting the "I'm divorcing his ass but please vote for Ken Paxton" ad on Bears/Jets, the only people in Texas watching this are at Chicago Bears bars down there with music blasting over commercials

Most other teams simply cannot rely on having three winning quarterbacks, like the Chicago Bears can, and always have.

many books are terrible and formulaic and could be replicated by AI, but there is no genre that is *inherently* terrible and formulaic and could be replicated by AI. there is terrible and formulaic 'literary' fiction.

The idea here is that sacrificing the lives, dignity, and happiness of actual human members of your community is worth it to attempt to achieve a theoretical utopia; or to quote Alan Watts on Soviet Communism: "You are turning all men into caryatids to support a stage upon which others will dance.”

There Is No Such Thing as Society
Today it is not revolutionary communists but so-called conservatives who wish to trample on human individuality in service of dreams of a remade society.

We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.

(photo depicts a squirrel in mid-flight from a tree branch, apparently about to attack an owl who has the most "are you fucking KIDDING me" look in history)second photo showing the squirrel in question making contact with the owl like the lil furry-tailed (if short-sighted) badass he isthird photo showing the squirrel in question making contact with the owl like the lil furry-tailed (if short-sighted) badass he is

what i really regret is the bastardization of intersectionality. crenshaw's insight was that systems of oppression intersect in complex ways, rather than merely additive ones. as a result looking for a singular scale of oppression that delivers an ordinal ranking of all groups is a fool's errand

#BlackandRed for today's #BirdoftheDay theme This male Downy woodpecker was from yesterday's walk. There is a lot of #StickHappens in this shot, but I like the overall feel of it for some reason. #birds #Photography #Nature #WestSanGabrielRiverParkway
Seen a few twig-layers deep in this almost leafless tree sits a mostly black woodpecker.  He has a few horizontal rows of white dots on his wings, and a white back between black shoulders.  His head is turned and we can clearly see his left eye and just a bit of red crown in the shadows.  He has a wide black eye stripe sandwiched in white.  The bokeh is blue and green from the sky and trees in the distance.

Every woman who’s been to a prestigious college, or a school with a strong frat scene, or both, either has herself or knows someone who has a story very similar to Jane Doe at Cornell. I attended one of the least party schools in the nation and still know at least 2 people with horrible rape stories

Mike Rogers and Abdul el-Sayed are having a flame war about the firefighters endorsement over on Xitter. Of note: AES has more followers than Rogers (307.5K v 73.4K), and his side of this flame wars is getting more views.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed
@AbdulElSayed
They didn’t endorse you, habibi. But this last sentence you wrote there is crazy work coming from a dude who voted to deny 9/11 first responders healthcare NINE times:

“I will always stand with the brave men and women who run in while others run out”

You “stand” for nothing.

🚨 ALERT: ABDUL LOSES ENDORSEMENT

“Mike Rogers, a veteran and retired FBI agent, will continue to serve this country and represent Michigan well. President Sahr and MPFFU leadership need to learn quickly the importance of crossing party lines when necessary.”
