One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

I missed @al-jazeera-english.bsky.social’s study initially, but this is telling breakdown of the origin of many objects in the British Museum: “Outside of the UK, the museum database returned 164,140 results from Iraq, followed by Italy (147,697), Egypt (119,854)…” www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/...

Whether in-person or by mail, your right to vote is sacred. I am disturbed by this whistleblower report out of USPS. Trump’s effort to rush new digital mail ballot rules is a blatant attempt to sow chaos ahead of the midterms that jeopardizes millions of votes.

Whistleblower claims USPS plan for Trump's mail voting order could 'derail' midterms

A whistleblower says the U.S. Postal Service is rushing out an online system for President Trump's push to restrict mail voting that could "derail" the midterm election if courts allow it to proceed.

Scotland is currently facing a wave of speculative hyper-scale data centre planning applications. With 24 proposals for major new sites in Scotland, if all are approved they will consume up to 6000 megawatts of power - more than 1.5 times Scotland’s total peak power use now.

'Ann with Indoor Plants.' (1971) Alfred Heyworth's career-long fascination with painting indoor plants began with his friendship with Lucian Freud. His works capture the individual characteristics, form, and texture of many plants including aspidistra, tradescantia, and ficus.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.
