@maustermuhle.bsky.social … can you point us to the article this statement was in?

Nice how Burgum poses this as if DC itself is derelict in its responsibilities, not the fountains on NPS lands, i.e., federal land.

Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

Oh shit new celebrity bird just dropped

A black-and-white image of a newspaper’s “Sunday Opinion” section from The New York Times. The text dominates the page in bold, all-caps, and large serif font, reading: “DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL PROSECUTE HIS ENEMIES, ORDER MASS DEPORTATIONS, USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS, ABANDON ALLIES, PLAY POLITICS WITH DISASTERS. BELIEVE HIM.” The layout uses a mix of black and gray lettering, creating a visually emphatic and urgent tone. The issue date in the upper right corner reads “Sunday, October 27, 2024.” (made by ChatGPT)

Bistro Bohem, Ledroit Park/Shaw, DC. Great coffee with little wafer cookies, plus this amazing breakfast sandwich with beets. Okay maybe that sandwich was a bit niche…

Maybe they’ll decide on the Birds Aren’t Real conspiracy.

Wonderful

This is getting ridiculous now I really need to stop hanging out in gutters. Skytree and some buildings on Hikifune dori, all reflected in a puddle. Yes it is upside down, but so is the world right now.

can’t take the gutter from the girl

It’s the Trump’s files!

The latest Covid vaccine is available from today, for those who haven't had a booster for six months and who want protection from the latest variants. I had mine this morning. @ninjakitty.bsky.social

Don’t worry everyone, American media is definitively on this shit.

On the liberal MSNOW you’ve got a former Republican congressman talking about his conversation with Trump about the “terrorist regime” and over on CNN Wolf Blitzer is asking guests how they come up with the names of the operations.

These are clearly made with AI and are NOT correct. Please don't waste your money on these!!!

Hahaha if by “fun and effective” you mean “funny and useless”, cool!

Ooohhhh…. One is on my walk home!!

Floofy Little Egret standing on a rock on a rocky shoreline.

Between the wet weather lately and the recurring desire not to hike with a heavy camera/lens otherwise, I've barely photographed any #birds at all over the past month or so.

Do I have any egrets about that? Maybe just a little egret.

“Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords kiki & bouba with spiky & round shapes, respectively...We tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby chickens. Similar to humans, they spontaneously chose a spiky shape when hearing a kiki sound & a round shape when hearing a bouba.”😲🧪

Perhaps #NISOPlus also needed a Winter Olympics competition, like the @librarycongress.bsky.social ? @nisoinfo.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/libr...

Once again, we have been so inspired by the amazing athletes at the #Olympics, we decided we needed to celebrate with Games of our own! 📚🥇🥈🥉🤓

Lovely and weird!
Their fruits are delicious!
