It goes turtle → penguin → kangaroo → panda → wolf → tiger → cheetah → marlin → red hawk → bronze hawk → silver (presumably hawk?) → gold hawk → peregrine falcon. I have been trying to understand this order all day

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Atwood has spent much of her career examining the implications of societies that allow their freedoms & ecosystems to erode. But she is also a critic of those who neglect the relationship between humans & the natural world, cautioning that neglecting one can have dire consequences for the other 1/3

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

St Mary's snowfield will likely return annually, as the terrain is favorable to collect/shade snow despite its low elevation. But will it go another 100+ years without disappearing? Not a chance.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

FEMA will pay homeowners after a house collapses, but not before. That means owners stand to lose tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars by tearing down a doomed house before the ocean takes it.

None of this covers the real real reason. Twenty years ago, gigs were cheap promotional tools to sell expensive records. Now most people listen to music via streaming and don't buy it, records are free promotional tools for expensive gig tickets.

I want kids; I don't know them yet. I don't know their race, their sex, their ability. I don't know who they are, who they'll love, who they'll grow into being. And I want what's best for them. So the only reasonable position is to make things as good as possible for as many people as possible.

Simple - one person cuts or breaks the cookie... and the second person gets to pick whichever side they want. The idea is to take the person who's making the choices, and remove their ability to know which half they get - so if they make an unfair system, they might wind up getting shafted by it.
