That the electorate could even contemplate such a man rather than reject him outright shames us all. That our founding laws could permit him to get in a position where the electorate could choose him shames our laws. That our institutions have not bodily removed him shames our institutions.

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Gotta love how the tools are so bad AND the public opinion of them is getting so bad that they're already working harder and harder to hide the fact that you're using the tools.

So it turns out the reason all those bros thought the paleo diet was all meat is that it takes more skill to detect vegetable residue than it does to detect animal fat on 14,000 year-old pottery shards. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

nationalgeographic.com

The real ‘paleo’ diet had plenty of fruits and veggies

A new study of ancient pottery adds to evidence that hunter-gatherers in Europe ate more than meat and developed early elements of cuisine.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface. Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520 🔭 🧪 ☄️

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

Truly what the hell were they trying to prove letting Ohtani face the lineup a second time when he barely got through the first time. Guessing pre-game plan was for Ohtani to get 9 outs and Dave didn’t adjust. . He’s pitching on 3 days rest with the whole staff behind him! WTH
