Inside of you is a severe overpopulation of deer. Somewhere along the line, the wolves disappeared. Your inner ecosystem is in severe disarray. Trees that should be used by beavers to dam rivers and create wetland biomes are eaten at an early stage by deer. The deer are everywhere. So, so many deer

Ik toon deze oktober twee kunstwerken in Middelburg. De tentoonstelling opent op zondag.
A gallery flier with a reproduction of Judith slaying Holofernes on it. The show is called Myze of MeesterA woman in black holding an art piece at an angle with a matching art piece in the background. The art pieces are pixelated reproductions of Vermeer paintings.

I went to UCSC specifically because it had no sports and no greek system. Almost 30 years later, it remains one of the best decisions I ever made.

Millions of Americans claim not to have heard of Mr. Bungle's 1999 hit "Pink Cigarette". This phenomenon says a lot about the role in-group signaling plays in today's modern hyper-fragmented social media landscape.

This is legitimately one of the more amazing things I've seen. One of the biggest kites ever made.
A shot down and across a stretch of beach. There is a football field sized kite of a trilobite getting off the ground.

I'm used to being wildly underwhelmed by pinball in the Netherlands (yes, I know about the Pinball Museum), but weirdly the pier at Scheveningen has a great collection of classic tables tucked in the corners between random kibbeling stands and pay toilets.

I'm not the kind to say it all points back to a single historical episode, but so much of what Trump is doing with ballroom & Kennedy Center—the wanton destruction, the callous indifference to the past—was evident when he destroyed Bonwit Teller's irreplaceable sculptures nearly a half-century ago

I know that some people don't think these types of things are important but I really do. Cultural change precedes political change. When you don't have the culture, it's more difficult to win politically or to sustain political wins. newrepublic.com/post/215697/...

Cheryl has made a fine point. I, nor other safety professionals, have really said much about general safety precepts as they relate to AI, as opposed to the bullshit artist millenarian cultists that are happy to do so at length. One of the reasons is "These tools are an active detriment to safety."

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.

In the weeks after 9/11 I made a "genetic black box" containing my hair, nails, and baby teeth. I gave it to my mom for Christmas so she would never have to worry about IDing me in a terrorist attack. She slapped me for it because she thought I was being insincere. I was dead serious.
A metal box with a large handle. Inside is an old Pacific Bell phone book with three vials embedded in it.

Functionally, I stopped being a burner seven years ago. Met the love of my life that last year and then bounced. I don't miss the event, but I miss the role it played in my 20s/30s. "Graduating" left a hole behind & I always feel it most keenly on Labor Day. :/

This is an obvious choice for me. Lovely red Cuprite might be full of copper but Orpiment, which literally means gold pigment is a poisonous pigment used since antiquity! Vote Orpiment! #MinCup26 But, have I got a story for you… Orpiment is used by the deep-sea worm Paralvinella hessleri 🧵

In downtown Napa there's this gorgeous stone building from the 1870s that used to be Andrews Meat Market & Deli. You ordered downstairs and ate upstairs, with your food coming via dumbwaiter. I've been obsessed with these things my whole life thanks to that place.
