One of my grandfathers went to seminary and... Turned out he wasn't the type, either. He was only a preacher for a few years. My dad was the first on that side to go to regular college for a regular degree.

Someone in my book group snidely said she thought the author of the book we were reading had used AI. And I went off, largely because that specific author has many rants about all her books being stolen. Some of mine were, too, but my epub didn't register the copyright.

Just guessing, but the squirrel was probably trying to force the predator out of its tree, like when smaller birds mob a hawk or owl. Still a great sequence of pictures!

very grim but the reflexive way that fox news is defending rape this week is both nearly identical to the kavanaugh period (can't trust her because she doesn't remember/she changed her mind) and proof that victim-blaming is the north star of state media even when the case is separate from government

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius. Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius. Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

I grew up in a college town in Ohio with a big frat/sorority culture. And yes, exactly this. Since at least the 1980s and I'm sure before.

The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has surpassed 74,000. While this figure represents the official death toll as confirmed by local authorities, the true number could be much higher. “The [ceasefire] plan ended up just buying more time for the genocide,” says Muhammad Shehada.

An ebook of a book that came out 24 years ago should not be $14.99. The publisher is obviously high and/or greedy. Luckily, it's on Libby and I didn't even have to wait.

Oh no.... We're going to need a new fridge soon. I don't know how old this one is because it was in the house when we moved in 3 years ago and it was already a few years old. Is a base model, no ice maker, not huge. I've always had better luck with zero bells or whistles.

You'll be delighted to know those exist! Whiteout by Adriana Anders, for example. And I know I read one with an android at some point. And I know someone who's writing a m/m romance about a North Pole expedition set in the early 1900s.

White serif text centered at the top of the image reads: "Ask your doctor if running screaming into the savage night might be right for you."
