Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Definitely a positive I remember from my school-board covering days. Kids have prepared a statement, and they can't even imagine saying one word they haven't thought out carefully. Can you imagine.

Motorola V70 still the coolest phone I ever owned. Shocking SAR, though.

A cell phone like a silver-and-black flip phone, but it's keyhole-shaped and half the body rotates to uncover the keypad (instead of flipping). Pictured open and shut.

Massachusetts last year made phone calls from prison and jails free. It also wiped charges for other forms of communication between incarcerated folks & their loved ones. You can see how hugely important it is for people in this piece. 1/2 boltsmag.org/massachusett...

Massachusetts Is Making Communications Free for Incarcerated People

The reform would eliminate the exorbitant charges people face to keep in touch with loved ones in jail and prison, removing a heavy financial burden for thousands.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Thanksgiving is upon us! So...how best to show your distain to your terrible relatives? How about eel pie? In his 15th C. cookbook, Bartolomeo Platina includes a recipe for eel pie w/ instructions to feed it to your foes when it's done, because eel pie has no redeeming features. 🗃️🧪

Meme. Painting of Bartolomeno Platina kneeling to meet with the pope. I've cut the pope out of the picture, so you'll have to take my word for it. Barty is wearing a red shirt with a blue sleeveless doublet. It's quite natty, and you might believe that it's a Patagonia fleece vest. Bart's silver hair is carefully sculpted and cut, and he is carrying *just* enough of a 5 o'clock shadow to be sexy, and not enough to be slovenly. Women want him, and men want to be him. And he knows it.

The expression on his face might be taken for intent interest. His eyebrow is arched, his gaze is intense, and his jaw might be quivering with attentiveness. But it's more likely that he is feigning interest with an expertise born of long practice...like a grad student stuck in the front row of a lecture by an imminent, but terribly dull, guest speaker. Bart is, instead, probably thinking about shots of pumpkin-spice vodka.

Meme text reads:
"I've baked you a pie
because you mean that much to me"

Caught some mallards and green-winged teal for a fall hunting disturbance project today! Also, caught a coot! Love me some coot feet. 🪶🌏🧪

A coot's foot, which is varying shades of green, and has 4 toes. 3 of the toes point forward and have cool little flaps along the side of them, making them the best feet.

Look, things are tense right now. Maybe take a minute to marvel at this stunning new JWST image of the star cluster NGC 602, out near the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud. 🧪 🔭 Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, P. Zeidler, E. Sabbi, A. Nota, M. Zamani (ESA/Webb)

Via NASA/ESA/JWST: A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.]
