A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.
A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”
Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…
I'm low key obsessed with this feed of people's cat's watching (and "attacking") the Artemis II module at splashdown:

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.
🤯 Stop scrolling and look at this detail.
This is Pysanka, a 1,000-year-old Ukrainian tradition of decorating eggs with intricate, symbolic designs.
Each pattern tells a story of life, protection, and renewal.

i think television media markets is what most closely corresponds to what we think of when we think of "cities" in terms of like, allocation of sports franchises
I’m getting a vigorous pre-dinner biscuiting.
A screenshot with a block of text: Minister: The US is now a revisionist power. For 80 years, the US was the underwriter for a system of globalisation based on UN Charter principles, multilateralism, territorial integrity, sovereign equality. It actually heralded an unprecedented and unique period of global prosperity and peace. Of course there were exceptions. And of course, the Cold War was still in effect for at least half of the last 80 years. But generally, for those of us who were non-communists, who ran open economies, who provided first world infrastructure, together with a hardworking disciplined people, we had unprecedented opportunities. The story of Singapore, with a per capita GDP of 500 US dollars in 1965. Now, lit is| somewhere between 80,000 to 90,000 US dollars. It would not have happened if it had not been for this unprecedented period, basically Pax Americana and then turbocharged by the reform and opening of China for decades. It has been unprecedented. It has been great for many of us. In fact, I will say, for all of us, if you look back 80 years. But now, whether you like it or not, objectively, this period has ended. There is no point trying to assign blame or pejorative adjectives. That is not helpful. Basically, the underwriter of this world order has now become a revisionist power, and some people would even say a disruptor. But the larger point is that the erosion of norms, processes, and institutions that underpinned a remarkable period of peace and prosperity; that foundation has gone. What you are seeing now, whether you watch the war in Ukraine, in the Middle East or elsewhere, including in Asia, to me these are symptoms of the underlying tectonic rupture. Big powers and even lesser powers have a more narrow definition of national interest.
This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...
You're a rent seeker It's an economist insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.

I think it's vitally important that everyone know that when baby bear cubs are orphaned and taken to our local wildlife center, they get fed and rehabbed by people masking their scent and wearing costumes like this so they don't get habituated to humans
EXTENDED CUT: Watch until the end for 3 min of nonstop dancing aurora last night in my driveway from North Pole, Alaska. Insane show!
My xp in corporate mines being reshaped by LLMs is that this is how they'll make money: it's classic loss leader model. As LLMs do more, companies purge workers. You wait until you've got 1 person doing job of 9. Then you increase price of service. It only needs to be cheaper than the 9 people fired

this is great! (also, uh, shouldn't the IEA be verified?)
the blueprints were what got me. they had zoning.
Hailey is an amazing person. I've talked with her on zoom hundreds of times and have been blown away by her creativity and good humor.
If enough people gave $5 today, she could get out of debt and get her life back. Please help if you can spare $5. <3
Honestly this feels like a young kid in marketing snuck one past his elder gen-x bosses, and good for them, because they ain't wrong

I have lots of dumb ideas, but one of the dumbest is for a new bluesky feature, a little number you fill in every time you tweet where you say what level of expertise you think you have about the thing you’re tweeting about.
10 I’m the expert
9 I’m an expert
8 I’ve got some meaningful expertise
7 I above-average know what I’m talking about
6 I’m not an expert but I care enough to post about this regularly
5 Just my opinion but I really think I’m right
4 Just an opinion
3 Hot take
2 Ok I’m probably wrong
1 I am a troll
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
