We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

To make things weirder (and to illustrate your point) he also had an old dog who had seizures who of course he had empathy for and cared for… it’s so odd to not be able to have empathy for a cat but to be so patient with a dog?? As if one is more worthy of care

I once had a (former) partner tell me that since my friends cat who I cat sit for needed pills and insulin she should just let him die, meanwhile he is the happiest coziest cat! (Needless to say we didn’t stay together long after that)

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

For #AdoorableThursday, few doorways are more interesting than this: the utterly fabulous south door of Kilpeck Church in Herefordshire.
A small wooden door affixed with straight and curved metal bars is located within an elaborately carved stone frame. This description can only touch upon the main points of this major artwork.  On either side are two columns, the outer ones carved with dragons, the inner one on the left with warriors, and the inner one on the right with interlacing foliage. Immediately above the door is a band of chevrons, and above that a tree of life in a semicircular compartment. Arching over this compartment are three main bands of decoration: geometric, mostly animal heads, and a great variety of figures separated by stylised heads with a large dragon's head on either side at the start and end of this band.

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

As market season starts to ramp up please remember that stealing from small vendors sucks. It happens every season to everyone I know and we aren’t big box stores, we don’t mass produce our products, and at the end of the day it is surprising it happens as much as it does and it isn’t cool

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully. That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
