My dude, traffic laws do not suddenly cease to exist because it's still dark out.

My cat was snuggling with my boyfriend's hoodie, thus preventing me from wearing it this morning when I really wanted to 🥲
Since finishing my PhD, my sisters have nicknamed me Doc, and it's kinda funny and sweet
Text from a sister: Lol look at Doc's car on Google maps (+ picture of street view)
blurb for The Lord of the Wood from Mia Tsai, author of The Memory Hunters: “Anderson imbues the novel with . . . grace to discover who you are, and . . . to arrive when you're ready. A necessary read for many, especially for those of us who need a respite before getting back to our feet.” Blurb is in a textbox against a five-photo collage featuring images of a snowy forest, a lone oak silhouetted against a sunset, a misty forest, an acorn, and a stag striding across a meadow.
The covers of The Memory Hunters by Mia Tsai and The Lord of the Wood by E.M. Anderson in a translucent yellow box against the backdrop of white flowers blooming on a tree against a blue sky. The Memory Hunter's cover is dark red, with a central image of bright red cup fungi blooming on a rotting branch, with faint outlines of mushrooms, branches, and flowers that used to be there. The Lord of the Wood's cover is blue, with a central image of a stag of foliage and flowers growing from a tree whose upper branches drip black ooze and the tagline "even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."

David Attenborough [whispering]:
“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”
I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives
I've been out of grad school for less than a year and I already forgot that when you index multiple columns in R, you need to do c().
It was once second nature. This is embarrassing. I'm getting rusty.
People all over the world treat hospitality as sacred while this damn place CHOOSES to torture the strangers among us.
It is all so deeply evil and I am so damn tired of hearing excuses made for those who support it all.
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

I have literally no patience for anyone saying that trans Kansans "just" have to go to the DMV and get a new license. There was no time given for that. There was no process in place for that. There were letters sent out to some people whose licenses were invalidated, but not all.
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.
Katy Naples-Mitchell, program director of the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School, has reviewed Dankoff’s data and called it “unsurprising.” Naples-Mitchell spends time as a pro bono attorney at South Bay Jail, aka Suffolk House of Correction. She was conducting an unrelated legal visit on a recent Friday when a family walked in to pay bail for a family member, and were given a receipt by the clerk magistrate.
“Their loved one never came out. Because instead, ICE had been alerted by the jail that this person was releasable, and so immediately upon the bail having been paid— making the person released from state custody— ICE enacted their federal detainer, and took the person into federal custody,” she said. The family, she said, told her the woman who was detained had a green card with no active order of removal. “ICE enacted their federal detainer. Instead — they were disappeared behind the jail,” she said.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
“Be impressed!!!” It’s weird how much you care. What’s impressive is solar panels!! Harness the sun’s power??? What am I? A wizard?????
“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”
Yeah man, it’s called anything that can be useful and make my bills go down instead of a thing that can’t do anything without my help and doubles my electricity bill
No, but actually: why is it "missing out" if I'm choosing to...use my own brain to do work? I enjoy thinking for myself, thank you. That's how you grow as a person.
Never-ending complacency sounds like a sad way to exist.
Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
Precisely. The subject of one of my favorite pieces by Lynn Hunt, which I love teaching
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Here's what happens: The unfortunate victim Googles a company name looking for a contact number, then calls the number thrown up by Al. This doesn't actually lead to the company in question, but rather to someone pretending to be that company, who then tries to take payment information or other sensitive details from the caller. It's not clear exactly how these fake numbers are being planted, but the best guess is that they're being published in multiple low-profile places online, alongside the names of major companies. Al Overviews then comes along and scoops them up, without running the proper checks to verify the information.
In short,
