Today in "this doesn't surprise me at all":
A cartoon of two eagles talking. They are sitting in what appear to be living room chairs. One is drinking coffee or tea and the other is reading the newspaper. First frame: eagle One says do you think the owl is a predator? A second frame: eagle 2 says of course not. He's never bothered me. Eagle One: exactly. Third frame the eagle continue to read their paper and drink their coffee. Fourth frame. No idea what Mr mouse was going on about. Says eagle One.
Evergreen cartoon. 😔

Oooh, I'm going to be in BH on Monday for @rsc.org Member Communities Board - I will build in time to have a look!
I don't understand why people can't see how dangerous this is - not because I think that the machines will rise up but because people are now using this as a single trusted source of information and so much of it is wrong.
Bernie Sanders suggesting they filibuster by reading out the complete Epstein files is some next level agent of chaotic good shit

The child gets diagnosed. The parent goes quiet. Then comes back and says: I think this is me too.
This is not coincidence. Autism heritability: 83%. ADHD: 74%.

Ok, here is the OFFICIAL AND ONLY CORRECT GUIDE to starting reading Pratchetts Books. Its a multiple step process, so read all steps carefully otherwise you will be wrong and shunned to eternity. 1. Go outside. 2. Trust the universe for once in your life. 3. Find any of these: Library, Thriftstore, secondhand bookshop, a cupboard with free books, your relatives or friends book shelf or storage boxes... 4. Locate the Pratchett Book. 5. The universe has now deciced with which book you must start with. 6. Compliment the universe for its wisdom. 7. From there on repeat the steps above.
You know what? Yes. This is the way. Let the narrative decide.
Neurodivergent scientists bring vital creativity, focus, and new ways of thinking. But many labs and workplaces aren’t designed with them in mind @rsc.org
