yo did you see this shit yet www.dpreview.com/photography/...
"Are you kidding me" photo - 
Photographer description: A young Great Horned Owl had barely settled onto its perch before a protective squirrel launched a surprise aerial tackle, knocking it into the grass below. The most unbelievable part? The squirrel repeated the stunt two more times. The owl and squirrel were shaken up, but unharmed. I have been observing and photographing Great Horned Owls at this location for around nine years, and I had never seen anything like this before. An adult pair was raising two chicks, and once the young owls began branching, I started visiting them regularly in the mornings and evenings to observe their behavior. On this particular morning, I spotted one of the seven-week-old owlets perched in a pine tree along the path.

final panel shows nancy looking behind the bushes but the text from r crumbs "lookit that stupid ass-hole!" meme panel placed atop it so that nancy is looking in disgust at sluggo saying 
"I loathe ever person i see on the street! Lookit that stupid ass-hole!"
with text saying "normal guy" pointing at sluggo.
the whistling from the original panel has been removed and the whistling from the r crumb panel has been placed there instead.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about Terry Pratchett's "Reaper Man" and AI. He was so ahead of his time in so many ways - or maybe squarely in his time but so many missed the very obvious signposts of where we were heading. Gonna be spoilers in this thread for a 25-year old book.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

one of the most depressing aspects of our current moment is just that there is no desire for intersectionality and coalition building. everyone is out to protect themselves and their communities and everyone wants to say the maximum hurtful thing to another marginalized group and it blows.

I think my thoughts on the lesbian bar story are that it's not particularly newsworthy. The coverage was heavily sensationalized. I think you could go to most local clubs or churches and find people just as wild.

They're also almost always about women and queer people in left-leaning spaces, which says whom we reflexively think of as toxic or annoying. I guarantee some fantasy football league is falling apart over some petty asshole, but he doesn't become a symbol for the annoying left. He can just be Jeff.

The queer bar story and the bad art friend story and any number of other "toxic person in a small community" stories succeed because they're inherently compelling narratives about people who transgress boundaries in ways we can recognize from our own lives. (FOR FUCK'S SAKE CONTINUED KEEP READING.)

Macklemore is a real case study in how you can be Kind of a Dumb Guy but still end up broadly on the right side of most things merely by being generally quite good-natured, because questions like "should trans people exist?" and "is it bad to do a genocide?" are actually really uncomplicated.
