A cat ran out in front of my car earlier, no warning, just shot out straight in front of me ... 😲
I was able to stop in good time though, because I was doing 20mph, because that was the speed limit, because of cats and children.
So there you go.
Always simply ask "What would Putin have us do?" and you'll have your answer:
Only a princess could be so finely sensitive that she would be troubled by a single pea placed under all these mattresses and featherbeds. Here’s two wonderful illustrations of her in Hans Christian Andersen’s tale ~ at L, by Gennady Spirin and at R by Edmund Dulac
Every major news organization should be producing and promoting something along the lines of "Erratic and volatile president threatens to restart his war of aggression against Iran and order massive assault on civilian infrastructure, a possible war crime. Who will tell him no?"
In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.
Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.
So every year prices go up more than wages.
It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.
It's billionaires
“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.
"I would have won Vietnam very quickly," Trump just said.
He's out of his mind. We need to get rid of him before he kills us all.

Climate 'skeptics' are still referring to that Washington Post article, thinking it disputes man-made global warming.
Funnily, it argues the opposite of what the climate skeptics like to think.
Let's dissect it.

Too many people appear to believe there is a hidden trapdoor in streets that pops humans up immediately in front of a vehicle. That pedestrian or person on a bike did not "come out of nowhere." They came from the sidewalk or yard or bike lane that you, the driver, weren't bothering to look at.
Idk who did this comic but it's hilarious
two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management
The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.
Why are we allowing the shittiest group of people ruin everything for the rest of us?

I'm not sure which planet he's talking about but it's not Earth.
My friend @gwagner.com's take in @nature.com nicely complements points I made in my @livescience.com commentary "Our fossil fuel economy is a house of cards & Trump's war in Iran is about to topple it...need for a clean energy transition has never been clearer."

The worst part of any bike ride is cars.
Hi folks! In Brooklyn on May 13? Want to hang out with Elizabeth Kolbert, me and Rebecca Hersher at the Public Library? Of course you do!

I can't get out of my mind something a cab driver said to me in Belfast last week:
"There's something about America I can't understand. It's a country with so much potential and so many good people in it. How could such a terrible man get elected twice to run it?'
Hundreds of people should not be facing potential terrorism charges simply for holding placards, especially after a court ruling that the proscription of the organisation they were supporting is unlawful. That's not how democracy is supposed to work.
Wat adders van de afgelopen dagen, allemaal vanaf het pad gefotografeerd.
Door een telelens te gebruiken, kan ik op een veilige afstand blijven en blijven de adders rustig liggen.
None of this would be happening right now if Trump had gone to prison for January 6th like he should have

❤️ The relief and excitement must have been extraordinary.
In the Science Ops room for the Mars Exploration Rovers. Opportunity, had landed hours earlier. We awaited first images. Murmuring and tension all around. On projection screen, terminal window began filling with text. Data on the ground. Image opened — and the room ROARED with joy. It was BEDROCK.
Comparison maps over California of annual average temperature anomalies in the year 2022 from the low-resolution and high-resolution versions of Berkeley Earth.
Comparison maps over California of annual average temperature in the years 1951 to 1980 from the low-resolution and high-resolution versions of Berkeley Earth.
The transition last year from the old @berkeleyearth.org temperature analysis to the new high-resolution version doesn't make much difference for the global averages, but it is really useful when it comes to capturing local and regional details that would otherwise be missed.
A grandma who’s forced to work as a DoorDash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment in the richest country on the planet… and the best we can do for her is not tax her tips??
That doesn’t deserve an applause. It’s a fucking disgrace.
Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:
a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b
By me. A decade-old error in a paper trips up the contrarians.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
