Bat Boy Lives! Same attitude as that Ex-place, but with half the assholios. Yes, that is my hair... US Army Veteran, so the sarcasm is built in.

Higgins seems to have fully switched into spring/summer mode. He wakes up full of energy and wanting to walk. We kept this pace the entire time.

Americans aren't alone in refusing vaccines. Many countries have had massive measles outbreaks in recent years. Go look at how many countries have fallen off the measle-free list this year alone. And there's a direct line from current US anti-vaxxers to Andrew Wakefield who was in the UK.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

I don’t know who needs to hear this but try a steroidal nose spray for pollen season

The particulate matter is definitely irritating your sinuses, similar to when you put black pepper on your food

It may not be allergies

(We can’t afford the hardbacks! Let us support authors in a more reasonable way!)

It wasn’t my original idea, but I agree with whomever said that publishing is absolutely backwards. Paperback should come out first, and then if the book is really popular, they should publish a special hardback.

do what I do and tell them they speak excellent english for an American. Try to sound genuinely impressed, it's a blast.

It’s lightly sprinkling outside and there’s a turtle laying on a log in the pond with its legs stretched out and its head pointed up, enjoying the sprinkles. Just a tiny good thing happening in the world.

How Swig Turned Dirty Soda Into a National Obsession The Utah soda-fountain chain is rapidly expanding in the US thanks to TikTok and a hit TV show.

Rachel Sugar's byline is apt on a lot of her stories, but it seems *especially* perfect here.

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

I think this journal is a great idea -- it makes it really convenient to completely avoid all these papers at the same time.

Please protect us by wearing a mask (preferably KN95 or better) in public spaces

They come either in earloops which are great but straps are more protective

According to wastewater data, COVID levels are high (source: wwater.ca/Ontario/Toro... )

If you know that immunocompromised ppl need extra protection from COVID, please don’t abandon us like the gov’t & society did in 2022

Six years ago
had I known
what was about to happen
I would have looked around
so I could appreciate
(all things considered)
how good I had it.

Six years from now
I just hope
that I do not find myself
looking back at today
and (all things considered)
thinking the same thing.

I'm just annoyed that I feel like all the knowledge and the technology we have means we could all be having a really nice time and scientists could be doing science and everyone could have enough food and shelter and everything they need but instead *gestures at everything*

Albuquerque city council just mostly gutted a long-in-the-works planned zoning change that would have greatly expanded the amount of housing options permitted in most of the city, expanding options and lowering costs. Gotta prioritize brutality against those with nothing I guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweet that says, "I’m sure this will make you sad too, but I’m also using Claude to second guess home contractors. The licensed electrician was lying to me (or just totally wrong) about the kind of wiring in my house and recommending an expensive and unnecessary job."

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about in just implicitly trusting AI and acting like it doesn't hallucinate.

If you had to hire an electrician in the first place, what makes you think you're qualified to judge Claude's output to determine if the electrician is wrong?

a person in a minty green and purple luna moth costume that looks like those PokΓ©mon onesies but it's a lunar and it's kind of amazing and the person looks really happy and in the corner there is a picture of a luna moth I suppose for comparison
in the upper right corner it says "Luna moth costume"

The person is giving a side view of the lunamoth costume and they're standing on their tippy toes and there is a bigger picture of a luna moth and the bottom corner and in the top right of the picture it says "Glow like the night transform with the luna moth!"
