I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!
I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been obsessed with the Artemis II mission — more obsessed than I usually am with NASA stuff.

Vor kurzem redete man sich in Berlin ein, die politische Debatte dürfe “nicht so werden wie in Amerika”. Wenn man sich hier heute umguckt, ist alles voller künstlichem Überziehen, permanent übertriebener Empörung und extrem persönlichen Angriffen. Sachliche Diskussion, anyone?

This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record:
- 256 eggs (252 in 2019)
- 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019)
- 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019).
It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes.

Wunderschön, danke! Unsere Vokalensemble hat das mal gesungen.
The world is such a dreadful place.
-- Yes. And I am making lace.
The horrors stare us in the face.
-- It's true. Meanwhile, I'm making lace.
The dark advances. It gathers pace.
-- I squint and keep on making lace.
And we are powerless in every case.
-- And *that* is why I'm making lace.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Intriguing knitted cap of cream-colored wool, worked in a mysterious textured stitch pattern and lined with brown...silk? No, polyester. But let's pretend.
Over on Patreon, the 1851 Travelling Cap Knit-Along wraps up with detailed instructions about giving the cap a silky, woven lining.
The original called for such a lining, which both added warmth and prevented the cap from mussing the hair.
This may be of particular interest...
Historians now generally reject the Great Dog theory of history in favor of a pack-centered approach in which individual doggos may exert greater influence than others but are ultimately carried along by the collective agency of lots of puppers.
