If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

It’s very depressing that virtually no one in America will ever discover or create anything significant ever again. Only the children of billionaires will be able to pursue the arts and non-applied sciences. I can’t see why they’d bother.

This is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state
miamiherald.com
Catholic bishops remind attorney general about separation of church and state
“The government may not decide that Church teaching is insufficiently religious,” wrote the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

So a masculinist understanding of notetaking would think a transcription app is the same as taking notes. That’s why they think an AI transcript is a time-saver. They think the notes are the thinking because when a human takes the notes, it is.

the strategy is becoming more clear ...
“My agent was terrific. She doggedly pursued an extension with the Blazers, and while they listened, there really was no response from them—ever—right up until the time the contract ended on June 30, and yet we continued to knock on the door. And then finally they did make an offer on Monday, and it just wasn’t at all what we had talked about or explored, and nothing that we had proposed.”

i truly don’t think you can understand the intimate technical details of how things work at prisons without becoming an abolitionist. so many of the rules that govern these people’s everyday lives are just fucking mean man like there’s so obviously no rehabilitative reasoning to any of them

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

Being an artist is so weird and scary because you have all these huge feelings to make art with but then you are supposed to be very cool and detached with how people might hate it but also constantly be a song and dance man shouting about how great it is and also you have to stay alive??

The problem is the court didn't want to address the giant elephant in the room and say that o Connor and DOJ are openly colluding to abuse the system to hunt down trans kids. They think preserving the veneer of collegiality is more important than acknowledging what is really happening here.
