Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

There's this really odd pattern with Bari Weiss, JD Vance, Richard Hanania etc, where they rise to prominence because their main skill is cultivating the friendship of wealthy patrons, but it's impossible to figure out how they do it because they constantly exude a pungent strain of anti-charisma.

We've got a Muslim man running the most multicultural city in the world and making space for all the people in it. That's what cultural victory over fundamentalism looks like, it's a shame that there's a part of the population that couldn't identify a cultural victory if it slapped them in the face.

There is no deadline for finding your people, falling in love or discovering something new about yourself. If you’re beginning again, I hope you give yourself room to be a beginner. You don’t have to explain your pace to anyone. I'll always cheer for the life that feels right to you.

Or, to put it more succinctly: it’s not enough to be correct, morally or factually, you also have to be able to get people to like you. Being liked is more important than being right for the purpose of persuasion.

You cannot appeal to rigorous academic standards and argue for the inclusion of racist pseudoscience, the most fallacious, damaging, and discredited idea of the past 500 years. You might as well teach doctors to recognize the four humors.

What’s happening is that America’s liberal majority is fed up with being told they need to hold the center while the political right moves more and more to the extreme. The status quo is everything getting worse, and they’re over it.
