States that contain only about 5%of the US population.

In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

A perfect summation.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Kewl. Questions: Did it start in the middle of the pack and politly work it's way through the crowd? ...navigate curbs potholes dropped water bottles and smashed, soggy, slippery paper cups? ...avoid hitting dogs, children and squirrels along the way? ...wave and high five children along the way?

It gives them an excuse to oppose the regime, one they can accept. "These guys are swine, and I was a jerk to follow them" is a bridge too far for most people.

Big Sur, California, 1995. Double-exposure in-camera on 4x5 film to capture both the sunset and, 20 minutes later, the waves crashing on the seastacks for 2 minutes to get the “misty” effect.

It's always a joy when you throw up an option that you absolutely love but is lowkey ridiculous and are convinced you're the only one who gets 'the vision' and then someone chooses it!!!!1111!!!!1111one makes me feel all sparkly inside (plenty of options on the site!) #USA #Guillotine #Politics

"This pattern raises serious concerns that certain market participants may have had access to material nonpublic information regarding a market-moving geopolitical event..." www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

We're watching a bunch of guys convinced that everyone who had their jobs before them were just stupid slowly discovering - without learning a damn thing - that there were in fact very good reasons why no one did the 'obvious' thing before them. This is why.

Could urgent care centers help? Yes, of course. It's an urgent medical need. Should they? Also yes, and for the same reason. www.npr.org/2026/04/08/n...

My grandfather was an anchor baby. It turns out the best case against birthright citizenship is Donald.

Maybe they can cheer Trump up by showing him his latest poll numbers.

Questions to Sauer: What the fuck are you talking about man? Questions to Wang: Hmm... interesting. Have you thought about this though?

Hey Associated Press. I said this seventeen days ago: bsky.app/profile/galb...

These companies paid a bunch of money to lease the rights to do certain business, with the expectation that they will make MORE money. Trump offers them less than their original stake to give up on making any money. A deal only someone like Trump would accept. www.utilitydive.com/news/trump-a...

What's My JND? 0.0040 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd... #WhatsMyJND I have been myopic my entire life and was not properly diagnosed until I was 13. This may have caused me to lean more into color perception. Removing my glasses helped me distinguish the colors.

Just ordered the sampler pack. Let's hope it fits in my 2gp backpack or my 1cp sack.

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Please. Don’t. Stop.

7/ Mucus trails may function as an external memory system : chemical information is stored in the environment itself, not in the animal's nervous system. A similar strategy exists in spiders, which use silk threads as spatial scaffolding to navigate and detect prey position.

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there

This is like the gruesome injury photos used to tell people to follow safety rules. This is the blood that the rules of your career are going to be written in.

Quick Thought on #AI We seem to discover a new 'wonder' ingredient every couple of decades and then put it in everything. In the late 19th century it was lead, in the early 20th, cocaine, asbestos in the mid 20th, then DDT, and many other things, now banned. Now it's AI.

This is a poor headline. It should be something like: "Tesla FSD endangers dozens of train riders by ignoring signal" electrek.co/2026/03/09/t...

As awful as this piece in Variety is...it's much worse than you think. I've linked to her full essay. Corporate money outweighs talent when making profitable movies—discoverability is *everything* in the creative industries. You could make one *hell* of a studio from the people Pixar burned.
