The Earth is also terrible, and dark, and cruel. The rabbit shrieks dying in the green meadows. The mountains clench their great hands full of hidden fire. There are sharks in the sea, and there is cruelty in men’s eyes.

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

This is like the old Tommy Cooper joke where he tells the doctor "It hurts when I touch *here*, it hurts when I touch *here* and it hurts when I touch *here*" and the doctor says "You've broken your finger"

This is one of those headlines where, though they are becoming more and more common, it requires such a leap of imagination for normal people, that the scale of it is is hard to communicate. It’s like our world is screaming at us, but it’s in a frequency most of us can’t hear.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I'm gonna slap the next ham-faced prick to express "concern" about economic migrants abusing our systems. Our whole fucking economy is built on allowing multinational companies to come here and pretend they're Irish so they can abuse our low corporate tax rate. #spéirgorm

Carl Holsøe in this work from the late 1890s lingers over light from a central window. Appearing here and in many of his other paintings is a lone female figure, her back turned, her identity is left to the imagination of the viewer.

If a technology comes with devastating and ongoing environmental and social costs that we can't afford as a species, I don't think you should use it. This should not evem be a debate no matter how handy that technology is. Learn the skill or pay someone.
