I don't mean what I'm about to say in a sappy way, but a fairly hard-nosed one: natural ecosystems are often remarkably good at recovering from serious local natural disasters *if they are given the chance.*

Harry Potter fan who fell into a coma shortly after reading The Deathly Hallows wakes up in 2026
5 panel comic

Panel 1: Purple Guy excitedly sits down at their laptop, saying: Boy o’ boy, I wonder what my favourite Author’s up to!

Panel 2: Close up of a J K Rowling tweet where she says “The gay rights movement is currently host to a cannibalising ideology that blames and shames homosexuals for not sleeping with members of the opposite sex. Amnesty International is on the side of the persecutors.”

Panels 3 to 5: Purple Guy slowly closes their laptop, wondering how the billionaire author they loved has become so obsessed with the lives of people who have absolutely no effect on her existence.

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Huh, this is weird The Tahoe utility is Liberty Utilities. They BOUGHT the CA assets of a Nevada based utility, NV Energy, in 2009. So Tahoe is regulated by California, but their service is entirely dependent on Nevada. It's the reverse of why El Paso keeps power when the rest of TX goes dark.
