It never occurs to people that maybe people never wanted lots of kids, but social and religious pressure along with a lack of reliable birth control made them inevitable.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A woman (30s?) in a pale blue felted witch hat, wearing a fluffy blue jumper and small circular spectacles is sitting on a bench. Gazing out at people coming and going on a sunny morning. A faint, enigmatic smile on her face.

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

Schmitt: Did you attend a concert wearing an anti-Trump shirt? Smith: I wore a “No Kings” shirt. It used to be a bipartisan American sentiment.

This is a serious problem. But also, a part of me notices that they only demonstrated these on men. And the first thing I thought of is all those mensural cramp simulators where the men are writhing on the ground while women are just standing there doing their thing.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

This is a photo of some rocks and sand. It was taken earlier today, with a camera 247,000,000 km away. It was taken on Mars. And now you're looking at it on your screen.
Dusty, red rocks, and red soil. Darker soil in the middle of the image marks where one of the rocks has been displaced.

Multiple trees
A view from the ground up into the canopy of a dense redwood forest. In a gap in the foliage is a bird of prey soaring high overhead in a clear blue sky.

An Arizona "tree".
A tall saguaro cactus consisting of a single pillar shoots up from desert scrub. In the background are low hills and a sunset. The blue sky is dotted with fluffy cotton ball clouds.

A tree with an all organic tree-topper.
The top portion of a very tall evergreen tree. On the top branches, only a a foot or so from the top is a large bald eagle. The sky in the background is overcast and grey.

This tree, and nothing else important.
In the foreground is the silhouette of a dead tree with the branches all gnarled. Perched on the very tip of on branch at the top of the tree a small bird with a long tail perches.  The entire background of the picture is a sun-bathed view of the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

This tree, getting in the way of my sunset.
A picture of the south rim of the Grand Canyon facing west. A tree is growing out over the edge. Past the tree the canyon fades into fog and a sunset is backlighting the tree. A gold and blue ombre sky is cut horizontally by wispy clouds.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.
