I am an ally of both sides of generational divides, and need large print myself

Benedikt Pleyer/Nomadic Nostoc filmed these tiny ostracods collected from the beach of a Japanese island. Vargula hilgendorfii live in marine sand & emit a mix of luciferase & luciferin that lights up to deter predators. The same chemicals produce firefly glow. 海蛍: umihotaru = "Sea fireflies"

While it has its problems, Europe is not suddenly in crisis because of a predictably bananas American National Security Strategy. The main problem w the NSS is Trump and Republicans. The US articles about how Europe is now flailing deflect from the catastrophe that is US policy across the board.

Can't overstate how right he is and that goes for all other children too

As soon as there's somewhere else to go with some kind of critical mass, I'll cross fade out of here

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

”Law” is related to the verb “to lie”? I knew it!

The Dutch did not leave many loanwords in Taiwan, but those they did leave are super interesting. You'd think that the word for cabbage, gaolicai 高麗菜, means 'Korean vegetable'? Nah. Say it in Hokkien: Ko-lê(-tshài), from Dutch 'kool' (Ger. Kohl, engl. cole) XD 😁

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Nothing else is quite like the feeling of running into a gonzo paragraph like this one.
