My third eye is closed right now so I put it on this wall to get some rest #thirdeye

On the border with Peru and Brazil, Bolivia recently added two new protected areas to stitch the western Amazon together. Created by municipal governments, the 7,300 km² of intact forest, rivers and floodplains will give jaguars, tapirs, river dolphins, giant otters and spider monkeys corridors […]

Oh look at the time! A time to rant about sub par Stern coil stops again! Somewhere around 2019 Stern made a huge batch of bad coil stops, which went into a lot of pins manufactured at time, including games like Jurassic Park, Elvira's House of Horrors and many […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Taranaki Maunga on New Zealand’s North Island was granted legal personhood in January after a unanimous parliamentary vote, following years of advocacy by Māori iwi who regard the volcano as an ancestor. By treating the mountain as a living legal entity, it now holds rights to protection […]

Finished my paper airplane FPP #quilt recently and am already well into the next project. Except for the backing which I don't like enough to show it's all thrifted and salvaged fabric. Each plane is ditch stitched on my machine and then the "speed lines" are big hand stitching. #sewing #quilting

Watched The Petrified Forest. It was gripping, at times menacing, and it made me remember T.S. Eliot’s poem The Hollow Men, when Leslie Howard paraphrased “noise without sound, shape without substance” #poetry #noir

Hello humans, hope you're staying warm and safe. Spotted some #BirdsNestFungi on today's walk, each about the size of my smallest fingernail. Also some neat #lichen on a rock. Sometimes just taking the moment to appreciate the little things can be an act of […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The Kuba Komet was a luxurious, futuristic West German home entertainment center from 1957-1962, integrating a swiveling black & white TV, multi-band radio, and record player into a massive, rocket-like wooden cabinet. It is sitting on the second floor of […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Power outage in most of San Francisco, including traffic lights. Autonomous cars going nuts. I shall stay home (in the dark) in case I get run over by a Waymo.

you can't have a governable city if you're just constantly re-litigating major infrastructure decisions made by voters. it's just complete chaos, ensures continued acrimony, and deprives businesses and families of the ability to plan. it's a fundamentally unserious *and undemocratic* way to exist.

Most of the people helping migrants at legal clinics are not lawyers or experts. They are self taught. They're using Youtube and Google Translate. They are regular people who just want to help and make a difference. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/unde...

A new report on civic freedoms concludes that "the US is no longer a functional democracy." Congrats everyone. And a *special* congrats to the Harpers letter signatories, free-speech warriors, and "anti-woke" crusaders. You saved us from woke! Great work.

Commanders specifically ordered Navy SEALs to fire on and kill two survivors of (alleged) drug boat sinking in September. "The order was to kill everybody". Analyzing this as an unlawful order or as homicide or as a war crime is, of course, necessary, but at the same time it seems morally […]
