It doesn't take long for a human writer to starve to death. It takes less time than it takes for AI to learn to produce good content. Hence the return of Girls. Next up, Petticoat Junction.

More than 400 trees were cut down in D.C.'s East Potomac Park this weekend. A furious federal judge said the government failed to give proper notice of the work amid an ongoing lawsuit.

Furious judge orders freeze after 400 trees are cut down in East Potomac Park
The Trump administration says the tree removal has nothing to do with the president’s plan to renovate the park into a championship-level golf course.

YELLOWSTONE'S OLDEST WOLF
MATRIARCH COULD BE HUNTED IN JUST 4 DAYS.
1090F has survived an extraordinary 12 years in the wild.
But after moving beyond Yellowstone's protected boundary into Wyoming, that protection disappears.
On September 15, wolf hunting season opens: putting 1090F and members of Mollie's Pack at risk. Hunters have even publicly expressed intentions to target her specifically. But this is NOT just about famous wolves in Yellowstone; this is about pushing back against the unnecessary culling, killing, and lethal management of wolves. The North American Wildlife Management Model is dated. Wolves don't understand invisible park boundaries. They shouldn't lose their lives simply for crossing them.
LINK IN POST TO TAKE ACTION NOW. Urge Wyoming officials to protect 1090F, Mollie's Pack, and create no-hunting buffer zones around the park!
Please sign and share before September 15.Photo of an elderly wolf howling up to the sky on a snowy day. She is great with a white face. The text over her says URGENT

Pecos Pueblo had 12,000 Towa speaking people living at the convergence of the Galisteo & Pecos rivers when the Spanish (Coronado) got there in 1541. In 1693, seeking revenge after the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, the subsequent bloodbath left only 17 Towa survivors. They fled to relatives in Jemez.

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."
Follow up tumblr post

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

I’m not talking about SUVs, but actual tanks demolishing cars and killing thousands of people the way drivers and cars are doing to pedestrians and cyclists. People in cars would demand protection from the tank drivers and tanks; the kind of protection pedestrians and cyclists want from cars.

Tips on reentry for ex MAGAs. Wipe your social media, take some WD-40 to those bumper stickers, and chill for a bit. Vote in private and mind your own business. Join a nonpolitical service group (not a church). Don't confess or join the DSA. Hopefully you'll meet other normal offline people.
