one of the causes of the present problems: people don't really understand their own opinions.

If your perception is that all interactions are transactional and that there is no such thing as sincerity of curiosity, or a desire to discover, then you will never value science. No matter how many economic arguments there are for funding it. Because you don’t understand the fundamental premise.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰
A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.

it's never been about making it "great" again. it's always just about controlling people.

reading on liberty by js mill. amidst the current situation, it's just so relieving to read someone with a sound mind…

i wish there's a rule to have 90 mins set aside every day just for reading. not just extra 90 mins each day which i may end up just tidying up. but 90 mins that i can only read and do nothing else.

more and more i found out someone who i used to respect for his value doesn't really have much integrity. the standard is different based on different people. and i'm saddened to realize that.

just finished #FamilyPolitics by @johnofarrell.bsky.social . gets me thinking a lot especially as a kind of new parent. somehow i feel like it could become a good mini series...
the book Family Politics by John O'Farrell is next to a near empty glass, on a coaster with the definition of gin on it.

the thing is people who send those materials want/need attention. ignoring or telling them i don't want the information is going to madden them and hence still affecting the relationship...

was made fun of coming from a beautiful world coz of my hope for humanity. was thinking "don't u think the world is beautiful too!?" but also found it annoying as my family was abusive. this explains the contradiction perfectly.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

a little gem in the city
a tiny stream is surrounded by some big rocks and trees on both sides. the trees are having different colour leaves, some still green, some turned yellow, some turned red. a clear light blue sky at the very top.

I'm going to do some coverage on here of the assisted dying debate. If you're not interested please mute this thread now. It'll probably go on a while.

Thinking about this for no particular reason tonight, other than the fact that we need to have longer collective memories.
Chicago Tribune 

A 15-year-old California student who was banned from the girls locker room at her school because she is a lesbian filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday in a case that tests the rights of homosexual students 
Ashly Massey claims she was "humiliated and denigrated" when she was barred from gym class for more than a week and sent instead to the principal's office by administrators at Coombs Middle School in Banning, who said other girls would be uncomfortable getting undressed in front of her.

don't understand those criticizing bluesky as an echo chamber. i don't recall bluesky ever said they wanted to be the "civic square". do what's wrong with it being an echo chamber? not all social media have to be the same, there can be diversity. ...... right?

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

when people are angry about opinions contrary to their own, it's a good sign that they are subconsciously aware that they don't have any good reason to think as they do.

it's always so easy to incite hate towards the other side of the population. people will buy it easily because well the general public has no force backing them up, whereas those in control are backed by forces and it makes things too difficult.

read today that the reason of people saying "bless you" was that people were thought to sneeze out their souls and by saying so, demons were frightened off and therefore the souls could get back into the bodies.
