Apple Adjustable Keyboard III.
A picture of an Apple Adjustable Keyboard III, which is two halves of a white aluminium keyboard turned through 90 degrees and the text running vertically. on the right side running from top to bottom is zxcvb, asdfgh and qwerty columns. on the left side is the same damned mess. The two halves also tilt inwards towards each other.

the U.S. press can't acknowledge the biggest cause of U.S. division is right wing extremism (and the attack on civil rights, consumer rights, ethics, female reproductive rights, and the rule of law), because you might upset advertisers, sources, subscribership, and white male conservative ownership.

Too bad no one funded a sex cult focused on climate change! The different media dynamics between the very real threat of global warming (aloofness) and the imagined AI machine apocalypse (alarm) should be studied in great depth.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Kant had an ethical theory about animals where he thought it was an impermissible category mistake to treat them as ends in themselves as if they were persons, but every "disrespectful" treatment of animals is impermissible anyway because we're obliged to not habituate ourselves for disrespect

Everybody's loving this clip, for good reason, but it should remind everyone that cities therefore have an obligation to build enough housing that all these marginalized and outcast people can come and afford to live in them on minimum wage *without* becoming homeless. YIMBY!
