German engineering strikes again!

Big Wet Wipe knows how to make wet wipes that can be removed one at a time but refuses to do so because they make so much money when you pull them out in clumps

I had a roommate back in the day who was obsessed with de Lint, but I've never picked him up. I can never decide if I should or not.

Evergreen reminder this 420: No one should be in prison for weed.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Photo of pigeon perched on a branch, description from ebird: ‘This aptly-named forest species is the smallest of the green-pigeons. Males are highly distinctive, with a blue-gray head and neck, orange chest, pinkish-maroon back, and green belly. Females are duller, but their combination of size, gray crown, and contrasting yellow-green chest serves to tell them apart from other green-pigeons. Pairs often forage and perch together, often on exposed bare branches. Like other pigeons, frequently gathers at fruiting trees. Song is a series of strangely buzzy rising whistles.’

Dad's car was stolen out of the driveway. He's more mad that the cop was low-key homophobic to my uncle and that the thieves ran over the crocuses by the drive that were planted in 1948. The croci are fine, as is my father.

The number 1 cause of death for children in America is firearms.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

A teal crochet project, resembling the yip yip alien muppet from Sesame Street. It has tentacles and googly eyes made from ping pong balls.

I just finished this crochet yip-yip bag holder thingy. Its so much fun, I laugh every time I come in and out the door.

I got the pattern free on ravelry here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
And includes crochet and knit instructions.

This is a concerning development for higher education and critical thinking. Sociology provides essential frameworks for understanding how technology, AI, and social systems intersect - knowledge that's increasingly vital in our data-driven world. #AcademicSky #sociology

In environments where vulnerability is mocked or dismissed, people learn to conceal the feeling. They may become fluent in productivity while losing touch with their inner weather.

Current hostility (on the part of politicians and institutional leaders alike) to even looking at the past is strikingly blunt. It touches many disciplines, but denying history is the key issue.

The backlash against Bouie’s piece on Enlightenment and then the 1619 Project were public turning points

The myth of objectivity is still generating casualties.

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost a dance.

I went to the library to get a book on Pavlov's dog and Schrodinger's cat.

The librarian said that she thought it rang a bell but wasn't sure if it was there or not!

Right? I love sitting by the river and just watching it and the ships coming and going. So I get it, that's for sure.

She loves watching water. Idk.

The bucket resulted in her getting to watch water go down the toilet, which is just the most fascinating thing for a Weence.

She got some pets and fussing once the repairs were done and got the bonus of watching the guy dump water down the toilet, which is *fascinating* for a Weence.

He is now using some kind of vacuum attached to a huge bucket, and she is Offended at the Noise. Whomst would dare???

🔥🇺🇦The 11th Separate Army Aviation Brigade "Kherson" demonstrated how the crew of a Yak-52 light aircraft destroys Russian Shahed/Geran drones.

The AC is busted, so the repair guy that Weency loooooves is here. Why won't he spend all his time petting her, she asks. She is the prime attraction in this place, she knows.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Send me off to a foreign land
To go and eat the silver ham

I see what I'm binging. It'll be a trip down memory lane.

My dad's also an old merchant mariner, so I love hearing about what's going on. I'm a few blocks away from his old union hall.

And I have no idea what the state of our civilian marine fleet is, as it's been stripped for parts since the Reagan administration (shock), so I don't even know what cargo ships have the capacity to resupply asap. That's supposed to be what CIVMAR does.
