The one from that era that my mind went to today was "Hell's Been Empty" I cant believe I had to do a deep dive on google to hunt down the original link to drop into web archive web.archive.org/web/20160323...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Damn this is good. History, politics, emotion, hope, CHANGE.

Just take a look! At the exhibition Ukraine WOW the paintings of Kateryna Bilokur have blossomed. Kateryna Bilokur (1900–1961) – a Ukrainian self-taught artist, celebrated for her detailed paintings of flowers.

This decorated copper axe dates to around 1900-1700 BC, the beginning of Ireland's Bronze Age. It was found deep in a bog in Brockagh, County Kildare. The anaerobic bog preserved the leather sheath and its strap remarkably well. See it on display in @nmireland.bsky.social #Archaeology 🏺 #Ireland

Currently playing: classichiss.bandcamp.com/album/classi... A covers album of Silver Jews, Pavement, Berman, and Young songs by Irish DIY bands. All in support of aid to Palestine. Excellent on all levels.

The Russians probably wanted to film a touching video at the cemetery. But, as always, something didn’t quite go according to plan.

Temporarily occupied Mariupol. While the entire city gets water for only four hours every two days, in an elite mortgage building for Russians - the lawns are being watered. There’s plenty of water for the Russian occupiers - unlike for Ukrainians.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

They managed to have a 10 minute segment on Claire Byrne about water shortages and mentioned everything except the 82 data centers that consume the same amount of water per day as a town of 50,000 people. Superb stuff, really doing a journalism

There are 50,000 undocumented Irish in the USA. There are no plans to move any of them into FLA concentration camps or El Salvador torture gulags. And everyone knows why.

Why has it taken me until now to read Claire Keegan? Stunning.

“The operation will go down in the anals of history”

I have no idea if this can or will work, but I think it's absolutely the thing to try.

No one is “replacing” teachers with AI. People are redistributing money to tech companies for AI and replacing permanent salaried workers with contingent, poorly paid ones whose labor is to patch together the system that is being broken by AI.
