I love write-ups of studies on animals being clever, crafty, or intellectually curious. This one's especially good reading because it acknowledges that raccoons' drive to solve puzzles might have survival-related causes beyond "They like it!" (But the scientists are open to "They like it!" too.)

Had this identical experience. "Mom, why doesn't the leprechaun come to our house??" Because that's never happened in my life. Never even heard of it. That's why.

incredible story about the general we sent to Ukraine, normally Army personnel can only have 2 alcoholic drinks a night Guess how many Major General Aguto thought was appropriate to have? He drank 2 bottles of Georgia grappa 40-50% ABV and concussed himself www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage. Here's the result of a rough botec, seems like inference and training are using about equivalent amounts of water, and power uses 5x as much

If I had a nickel for every time the government tried to censor something they did so it had to be saved via torrents, I’d have…I think three nickels. This isn’t gonna end, is it?

Ngl I don’t understand why people are acting surprised about the “antifa” ruling thing. One of them shot a cop. Be serious. Of course they’re going to charge you with terrorism.

I have to hit cardio hard for the next month bc I need to be in good shape when helping my friend move. If her dad sees me struggling again (as he did the first time on move-in) I won’t be able to look myself in the mirror

Sorry, but I wave to her every day during pick-up and drop-off, and you are out of your mind if you believe these “malnutrition” rumors. I mean, yes—her kids are a little skinny, and they’re always hungry at lunch, but I’ve never seen a more loving parent than Cloth Mother.

I’m getting a lot of bad faith/snarky replies to a thread recently. If you’re reading this, this is your offer to engage in good faith as a reply to this post. Otherwise we can cut it here. TIA~

There’s a darkly funny chapter after Goetz turns himself in where the cops keep trying to give him an out: “You were afraid for your life, right?” And Goetz is like, nope, I wanted to kill those teens because they are black. The guy who did it would not shut up about how racist he was!

You would like @sarahkendzior.bsky.social books “Hiding in Plain Sight” and ”They Knew”, and @calfraser.bsky.social ”Murderland”. When the facts are stated so plainly like that, it feels less like a revelation and more like remembering something we were trained to forget. Then we see it everywhere…

Only halfway through but this book is phenomenal so far.

Molly interviews @letsgomathias.bsky.social about his new book, To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right. It's a rollicking tale of infiltrating nazi groups and exposing their private communications to dox them en masse.  @socialistdogmom.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

The real reason why Alex Pretti and Renee Good are so hated/rejected by the MAGA right is because they have that type of single-mindedness that you can only find in the early medieval saints, which is the complete opposite to the nihilistic sinfulness of MAGA.
