Ag science supported by the Extension Service took food costs as a percentage of income from over 40% in the early 20th century to around 10% by the end.

Cheetahs continue to be scary predators.

I do also think GoT going off the rails with its own internal contradictions is what led to the You Must Build Economies That Make Sense conversations in 2010s SFF that… well, I haven’t really seen a lot of fruit from either

Locals actually pronounce it “Worcester”

the Democratic establishment is constantly complaining criticism from the left is per se unfair sabotage that damages the party and also constantly taking gratuitous shots at the left

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny

163. Mirror case with attack on the castle of love, French, 14th century. I was actually looking for a different gothic ivory mirror case with an attack on the castle of love but this one (which unlike the one i was looking for i have not seein in person) will do too

The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

hey does anybody want to mind some rich moron's five neglected kids while getting malnutrition in a shack full of dangerous snakes lmk. no pay

light has a quality called “polarization” which corresponds to the direction of the electric field in the wave many animals have eyes adapted to see polarization—but with some effort, human discernment of light polarization is a learnable skill! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiding...

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Larry Summers’s co-teacher at Harvard: “We will miss his insights and his wisdom” Student: “NO WE WON’T” dude pretends he doesn’t hear, then intros Tony Blair lmao

Bluesky nerds: I’m maybe going to run a Call of Cthulhu game for the first time in like 20 years after playing a lot of 5e. Any suggestions on which CoC edition might be best or which or blogs/podcasts might be edifying to check out would be much appreciated!
