Folks sharing the Western Journal article about an interview with Andy Weir: WJ is a right-wing rag, and the quote being attributed to Weir about “wokeness” is taken from the person interviewing the author, not Weir (it’s right in the text). The title is rage-bait. Don’t fall for psy ops.
🚨NEW SCIENCE ALERT!🚨Read our new, open-access publication in Scientific Reports (@nature.com) describing #biofluorescence in #cassowary casques! Very excited to unveil this after keeping it secret for 5 years⬇️

The Omphalos stone at Delphi, Greece. It represents the "navel" or center of the world, marking the spot where two eagles sent by Zeus from opposite ends of the Earth met, confirming the location as the cosmic center. The original, ornately decorated stone is in a museum, this stone marks its location.

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.
A gold Tibetan Spaniel lays at the top of beige carpeted stairs. He is gazing down at the camera and is giving a very serious expression.
Only from the top of the stairs can our judgemental scowl achieve full power.
An immature Lophiomys imhausi displaying specialized hairs and warning coloration (A) and the same individual (center) with an adult male (top right), and female (top left), from the same trap location. The juvenile is being groomed by the male (B). FROM: J Mammal. 2020 Nov 17;101(6):1680–1691. "The secret social lives of African crested rats, Lophiomys imhausi"
The African crested rat (Lophiomys imhausi) is a rabbit-sized rodent with patterned coat.
They have no natural predators which puzzled scientists because they don't display obvious deterrents to large African predators.
That's when studies found they were packing enough poison to kill an elephant.
How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

A gold Tibetan Spaniel sits on a beige carpet gazing up at the camera.
Sometimes I sits and thinks. Sometimes I just sits.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
I'd go for We Didn't Start The Fire! I hope you remembered everything.

A gold Tibetan Spaniel lays at the top of beige carpeted steps. He is looking up towards a dark long haired cat who is looking down at him.
"I love you and I want to chew on your ears."
A gold Tibetan Spaniel lays on a green blanket. A soft toy is before his paws. He gazes into the camera with an inscrutable gaze.
He's ready for bed at any time. Totally prepared. On the ball. Available at no notice. Here to cuddle. Down to snooze.
Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.
Here's what happened:
A gold Tibetan Spaniel sits on a beige carpet. His collars are off so all of the fur of his neck and chest is fluffed to the max. His chest fur is shaped like the heart shaped fur top of the character The Rum Tum Tugger from the musical Cats.
He got his collars off for a brushing. He is pretending to be The Rum Tum Tugger.
A gold Tibetan Spaniel sits on a snowy yard with a tree trunk behind him. He is sitting majestically and gazing toward the camera with a very serious expression.
What could be more majestic than breaking through fresh snow in perfect lighting?

Happy little man being the best present under the tree.

Photograph of a dog footprint in the snow.
First snow of the year and hundreds of perfect little puppy paw prints.
An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.
Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.
Photograph of an amigarumi Balrog which is a black bean shaped body with yellow eyes, orange mouth and red belly stripes. He has black arms and black horns and a red and gold mane. He is incredibly homely and imperfect but very lovable.
I have completed my Balrog!
Next i have to make his whip.
There is no good angle from which to photograph him because he has arms, wings, horns, and a tail. Something is always hidden. But he is fun to hold and feel.
I love him.
The second WING came out better than the first. Dyac
Photograph of a white person's hand holding a black amigarumi sculpture intended to be a Balrog. It still looks like a black bean with random appendages.
Baby Balrog progress. We now have tail and wings. I was feeling sad about how much better the second wrong came out when K reminded me that I bought the pattern so I can make another one whenever I want.
Army of Balrog!
Today i made and attached my Balrog's tail. No pictures because the internet is dark and full of sickos.
