Can werewolves eat chocolate or is it poisonous to them?

#30DayMapchallenge Day 8, Urban. People don't realise what a big deal it is for acceptance of place names to change in such a short time without wars/dictators/invasion/etc. Just people, within a generation, deciding it is the right thing to do. mapdata::NZHires baseman + Affinity Publisher.

It’s great to see this editorial highlight the impact of abuse against local body politicians. But we must acknowledge the role media plays in all this. Whether it’s publishing rumours as fact (RNZ) or hysterical op eds from Soper and Hosking etc, we can no longer let it slide #nzpol (paywalled)

oh it's goatse

my roommate made me make this, saying it would be hilarious

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Many tellings of her story imply her only involvement was involuntary and without her permission (via the infamous 'Photo 51'). In fact she was MUCH more involved than this, including absolutely bodying one of Watson and Crick's first models because it was chemically inept.

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

Co- discovery with who?

Imagine if there were some solutions to reduce pollution so we could just swim in any river, at any beach 🤷

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

if I’m understanding this correctly, the original idea of democracy was that the elected people represented the electorate or they got replaced by people who would. it may seem weird to us in today’s society but people in the olden days had all kinds of crazy notions

We're told one of these land uses is 'productive', while the other is not. But in terms of photosynthetic levels, as well as the production of clean air, water, no flooding, a stable climate, etc, etc, the natural ecosystem wins hands down. As for biodiversity, let's not even go there.

Renowned filmmaker Lee Tamahori, whose work helped define Māori storytelling on screen and propelled New Zealand cinema onto the world stage, has died.

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

My right hip subluxed slightly yesterday and has now gone back into place. I'm glad i can no longer feel my femur way more than i should, but also *#!*^*#!!*

They explain how the witch got green, how she got her hat, her cape, her broom, how the monkeys got wings, how the lion become scared of things, and the sequel will cover how people became the tin man and scarecrow, but they never once explain why she's called Ariana Grande when she isn't very big

The weird thing about people mourning the loss of Pinterest to AI slop is that Pinterest already cannibalised the internet in the first place. It was hard to find the original of so many posts because search results for aesthetic things were so dominated by Pinterest pins

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.
