Nothing drives me more insane than smart boy center/center right commentators who believe that defunding programs will make them more efficient. It’s an underpants gnome theory of good governance. It’s an old story that has never panned out!

This sort of stuff makes me want to scream. The cost bloat is in *capital projects* not in operations! Capital projects are bloated because of a complex web of balkanized permitting processes, the byzantine and inconsistent nature of federal grant funding, and outsourcing talent to consultants.

Morning at the office. Commission for @bronzer.bsky.social!

An male anthro badger sits behind his desk. It is messy, covered in papers and stationery, as well as three heavy law books. There are two empty mugs of coffee on it already as he rests his head on his hands, exhausted. Overcast morning light comes through the large window behind him.

I feel like a lot of my time on NextDoor is just explaining to neighbors the very, very basic stuff that local government does. I keep forgetting that despite living in the information age even retirees know hardly anything about local government with the decline of in-depth local news.

I have seen the chart saying that people in the U.S. don't invite anyone over to dinner anymore. I would like to say that this may be empirically true. What is also true is that when people invite people over it's often the case that people flake out. So it creates a negative feedback loop.

Shaaloani Roadhead 🔜 Claws Out @hyenablood.yeen.world · 28/09/2026

who wants to learn a scent thing I just learned geosmin is the compound responsible for the smell of rain on dry soil which I already knew but apparently we're 200000x more sensitive to it than sharks are to blood, a dilution equivalent to 1 teaspoon in 200 olympic pools????

Geosmin (CAS 19700-21-1, C₁₂H₂₂O, MW 182.30) is a bicyclic sesquiterpene alcohol — specifically, (4S,4aS,8aR)-4,8a-dimethyloctahydronaphthalen-4a(2H)-ol. It is the principal odorant of wet earth. Not an abstraction: the actual molecule your nose detects when rain lands on dry soil, when a beetroot is sliced open, when a Streptomyces colony sporulates in garden compost.

The compound was isolated and named in 1965 by Nancy N. Gerber and Hubert A. Lechevalier at Rutgers University, from cultures of Streptomyces griseus. The name derives from Greek: geō (earth) + osmḗ (smell). Gerber elucidated its structure in 1968 as trans-1,10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol. Its biosynthesis — from farnesyl diphosphate via germacradienol, through a bifunctional terpene synthase — was not fully resolved until 2007 by Jiang, Cane et al.

Human sensitivity to geosmin is extraordinary. The detection threshold of the natural (−)-enantiomer sits between 5 and 15 parts per trillion — roughly one teaspoon dissolved in 200 Olympic swimming pools. The (+)-enantiomer is approximately 11 times less potent. This hyper-sensitivity is not accidental: geosmin signals the presence of water in soil, which held obvious survival value for early hominids. The olfactory receptor OR11A1 has been identified as the primary detector.

Geosmin is produced by Streptomyces (actinobacteria), several genera of cyanobacteria, and certain fungi including Penicillium species. It is the molecule behind the earthy flavour of beetroot and the muddy taint in catfish raised in pond aquaculture. In water treatment, its presence at concentrations as low as 10 ng/L triggers consumer complaints — a persistent headache for municipal utilities worldwide.

To put that in context, a shark can smell blood at one part per million. That means human noses are 200,000X more sensitive to geosmin, which is also the source of the earthy taste in some vegetables, than a shark is to blood. No wonder I hate the taste of beets, my nose is probably better than yours.

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

bisubites 4h
when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.

Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane
