I believe that in order to take some small step forward, the word “bird” should be replaced with “saur” in all common names. Mockingsaur. Secretarysaur. Red-winged blacksaur. HUMMINGSAUR

Science is currently deciphering whale language, once we learn enough of it the first words out of our mouths should be something along the lines of; "we're sorry".

Red Sprites are an amazing & rare form of lighting that instead of going down, go up through the mesosphere. They manifest as a cold plasma dancing the ionosphere. They happen so fast it takes a good camera & shutter lightening triggers or continuous rapid long exposure settings to catch one.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

ok I try to avoid politics on here but this is egregious. The US just invaded and seized control of a sovereign nation (Venezuela - see www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...). I urge everyone to call their representatives first thing Monday morning and demand sanctions against America. I will be.

Ah, Australia in summer. The sky is a washed-out, ashy grey, and the air smells of smoke. Humidity is near 60% after yesterday's thunderstorm, and fire-engine sirens wail in the distance. The closest front is 6km away, but the wind is blowing away from us for now. #currentlysafe #Australiangothic

Online age verification isn't like showing ID at a bar. It's more invasive, affects far more transactions, and poses serious privacy, security, and free speech risks that in-person checks never do. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

visited the local book exchange on Friday, may have achieved nothing (well, 320 pages, a philosophical discussion, and - unrelated - made cheesecake, but no writing) since then. not sad about it though, I'm loving Singer From The Sea

“Just think: right now the new Santa is flexing his ovipositor so he can leave eggs inside every chimney”
Pippa Timothy
Dec 23, 2017 
fun science fact, the North Pole elves are actually a eusocial gestalt (like ants, bees, etc). Santa is the Queen, not in the sense of power or authority but in that he is the sole reproducer.
Each Santa lives about a year, and then they feed a pupal elf royal jelly so that it matures into a Claus.
His belly jiggles like a bowl full of jelly on Christmas because generally they hatch a new
Claus the day before Christmas Eve.
Just think: right now the new Santa is flexing his ovipositor so he can leave eggs inside every chimney, drying out his wings for his first flight.

Buy a book. Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever. Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions

If folks haven't read it, I recommend @annaleen.bsky.social's Stories are Weapons, which is unfortunately more and more relevant during this administration. When I started it, I thought, "yeah yeah, I know this." But each chapter was 🤯; well researched analysis of these tactics, recent & historical.
