There is no known portrait of Columbus that was composed during his lifetime; everything that has come down to us is posthumous. So there’s no way to know whether he looked like Nurse Ratched clutching a sil-pat baking sheet in a short sleeved housecoat or not.

You should have to smell the dead when you disinter them.

A chat request from a late friend
I recognize the pain of thinking if I could only talk to them one more time. It is among the more familiar human laments. But that's just the thing it is a human problem to be endured not a technological problem to be sold. Our capacity for loss – in fact the necessity of losing and having lost – is what makes us who we are. Individually and collectively. There is no workaround. There will be no workaround. And every step toward preventing that or perverting that is an affront to our humanity. Why not just taxidermy nana and prop her up at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre dinner table? At least there's something real and tangible about that. Undeniable in its sacrilege. You should have to smell the dead when you disinter them.

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights** Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight.

From meteorologist Eric Snitil

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

"Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets."

this whole thing is madness inducing but the middle paragraph here is the one that made me say "oh we're FUUUUUCKED fucked" out loud

Hill was willing to speak bluntly and on the record. But not every scientist I contacted felt able to do that. I called one Florida scientist who studies sea level rise to fact-check some of the agents' comments, but before we got very far, they asked not to be named. They explained that their current research depends on cooperation from county and municipal governments, which means they have to "tread very carefully" when speaking about real estate development in the
area.
That made sense to Hill. "If we get in the way of developers, their attorneys can go after us through our universities," she said. "It's not uncommonẠỊi
For the most part, she said, silence about climate risk in housing is incentivized. Because if climate risk tanks a property's value, she said,
"everyone's going to be pressuring everyone else not to talk about it."
