my husband sent me this when I shared the article with him.

A picture of the front of an Amtrak Cascades engine, with a big purple wig, big purple eyes with eyelashes, and a feminine hand with long pink nails, giving the appearance of the front of the train having the face of a glamorous drag queen.

Robyn in Toronto was probably the best concert I've ever been to, and the energy of this crowd was a big part of why. 🧵

Is this image AI generated? The geography seems really close, but not quite right. And the buildings over at UW campus look bizarre.

I was referring to this bit here which looks like either two paws lined up in a row or one weird long mega paw. Even if it’s only 3 paws down there, I’m struggling to visualize how the dog could have one paw hanging over the arm while all three other paws are bunched up together down there.

“Little recourse?” There’s actually a free and widely available option. It’s called accepting your child for who they are. No therapist required.

Excerpt from the Washington Post article which reads, “Chiles said she had to turn away a family whose child was struggling with sexual identity issues for fear of running afoul of Colorado's conversion therapy ban. The family, which she said was struggling, had little recourse.”

Wikipedia has some hard-hitting continuity analysis on this show.

The series was retroactively placed 4 years after Revenge of the Sith and 15 years before the events of A New Hope. In the latter film, C-3PO tells Luke Skywalker that his and R2-D2's "last master was Captain Antilles." The droids are placed in Antilles' care by Bail Organa at the end of Revenge of the Sith, creating an apparent continuity error. This is explained by the droids being accidentally separated from Antilles during the events of the animated series.

Love when I watch old episodes of The West Wing and they show senior staffers using MSN Explorer. I’m like “hmmmmm really? The White House would have used MSN as their ISP?” 😂

Still image from The West Wing season 2 episode 22 “Two Cathedrals” showing Chief of Staff Leo McGarry at his desk with his computer screen behind him, and it’s UNMISTAKABLY the circa-2000 user interface for MSN Explorer, a custom browser for MSN users that was really just a thin wrapper on Internet Explorer.

This is not Uranus. It looks a lot like an image of Saturn from the Cassini probe, tilted on its side with the colors altered. Below are two real images of Uranus: the first one is in visible light from the Voyager 2 probe, and the second one is in near-infrared from the Keck telescope in Hawaii.

“The Demon-Haunted World” by Carl Sagan (1995)

Book cover for “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark”

A photo of Carl Sagan with a quote by him from the book: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power
over you, you almost never get it back."

Every time we discover one of these, I hope it turns out to be a giant, perfect cylinder with a hatch on one end…

I find it kinda interesting that Slate Auto embargoed their electric truck announcement until precisely 7:20 PM Pacific today. (This screenshot is from my RSS reader.)
