hi, buddy! Miss you

Interesting to learn.

I hate that she's still around & hyped

like sci-hub.su where you can then read them for free. And don't worry if you don't understand science jargon, these days you don't have to be a scientist to read papers, you can use Al to summarize and interpreting the research into layperson's language for you.

I read a newsletter called Climate Water Project to learn more about water cycles & ecology. Yesterday's issue was a bibliography on evapotranspiration: "the evolutionary history of precipitation recycling as told through journal articles".

Then came this passage, which poleaxed me:

There is a tendency in some corners of the literary world to mock the idea of plot or even to call it "fascist."

it's been 24 hours & I'm still boggling at this claim and what it is doing/seeking to accomplish

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.

For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.

One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

he's the reason for the season (day)

there are a few writer/thinkers on here who(m?) I admire so much and sometimes daydream about getting followed back by; then they go and retweet some utter dreck and pablum

way better! My bad on that

Imagine being that guy and posting your Black Panther take 8 years after it came out.

Truly, a mind for our time

why is every political story just another excuse to loudly proclaim how much you hate women???

Today's highlight: a meme used "MST3K" as a verb, leading to widespread confusion and, in one case, unbridled rage:

The sadism is so far beyond belief. It feels indescribable.

I know that wasn't intended as a compliment, and yet...

Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."

God is dead mother fuckers, and we finally have proof. He would have Kimberly Clarked the wapo editorial office before they could come up with this headline if He existed.
