And his mom.

“neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”

Add some lard and sugar, wrap it up and you've got tamales dulces.

Euthanasia is always complicated in my mind, generally good, but still complicated. This is really good article. A gallon of potassium chloride solution! I hadn't thought about the crushing damage beaching would do to a body developed to be supported by water at all times.

going into 2028, any push to do "Obama 2008 again" must be crushed. We need someone with an FDR vision and an LBJ level of back alley fight instinct

Overheard on the train today: Oh shit, we haven't texted since 2017! Feel like I got a contact 'Fuck Yeah'

We are about at Bleeding Kansas, not quite at Fort Sumter. If any elected Dem right now had a fucking clue that this is where we currently are in the movie, this is how you get that train to jump its tracks.

Masks do nothing when you're cleaning rodent droppings. Don't let THE MAN trick you.

Water rescue of a flipped kayak off madrona, the lake is still cold, it's windy and the sun's going down. Hope harbor rescue can get them and they're safe

The fertility rates I'm concerned about. In order of how soon they'll be an issue: Salmonberrys - looking good so far Thimbleberries - seem busy with bugs Black cap raspberries - on track Dew berries - gotta check the patches Various strawberries Apple trees

Orthodox priest music that's got some of the drone of Earth. Cool stuff. The Eastern sounds remind me how I wish Christopher Kirkley found some Dylan Carlson influenced musicians on his Sahel trips.

A two-shelled snail that turns green because it's absorbing chloroplasts from the algae that it feeds on. 'Life,' as the famous scientist said, '... uh... finds a way.'

Thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social email newsletter I learned Death Camas has a pollinator that uses the neurotoxin to protect against parasites. missoulaeduplace.org/get-involved...

You don’t schedule a UFC weigh in on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial because you think it honors his memory in some twisted way. You do it because fuck Lincoln, we own him and we can shit in his mouth and make you watch.

Lots of cool stuff in here, I didn't realize UPS started as Seattle bike messengers.

Hurricane max intensity increases 5-7% per °C of SST rise. Gulf of Mexico SST rise since 2012 of 0.5°C/decade should lead to ~3%/decade increase in winds of high-end hurricanes. This this equates to ~30% increase in hurricane damage per decade for these strongest of storms.

speaking of anti-corruption in 2028, i'd like to see candidates publicize lists of people who likely lied to congress, who they intend to investigate for this crime. give me a whole website for it.

Listened to this interview on a long walk home today and really enjoyed it. I feel like I've learned a little bit about a bunch of interesting protest movements and now I've got research to do.

every extra dollar you pay in groceries this summer is the fault of donald trump specifically and the republican party generally and if you don’t understand that, you’re the sucker

Thanks to @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social for this terrific interview with Peter Sopplesa about his new book, Paris After Haussmann: Living with Infrastructure in the City of Light, 1870-1924! newbooksnetwork.com/paris-after-...

Another uncommonly clear today at Utqiaġvik showing the sun never quite setting. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Fake tripe snack packs I guess so vegetarians can try tripe?

Got to be honest, "freedom rides are unaffordable because of the ongoing oil crisis" is one of the bleakest statements I've heard in quite a while

The federal government ordered Flaming Gorge water released and cuts to Lake Powell releases, to prevent collapse.

ORDINANCE PASSES UNANIMOUSLY SHARED STREETS ARE LEGAL IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE THIS HAS BEEN MY DREAM FOR YEARS AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING IF YOU COME HOME FROM EUROPE WISHING WE COULD HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE THEN WHY NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SOMETIMES YOU WILL SUCCEED

Oh no. This looks interesting but I haven't made it very far into the list yet.

They grow so quickly

When they say Virginia can't redistrict--which they will--the Supreme Court will be dead, solely moving through necromantic abomination, and must be treated as such, as a vampire draining the life from America to be staked, dragged into the sun, and its ashes to be scattered in moving water.

Cool to see the wind patterns after impacts start.

In the same way that the French revolutionaries straightforwardly eliminated the privileges of nobility in a drunken evening, it's good to brazenly tear down institutions that violate the sovereignty of the people. Sends a good broader message.

I think there is independent value in a radically democratic response that wipes out the institution responsible for such a blatantly counter-democratic ruling.

Everything about this article is fucking insane.

The repeating patterns of the two tugs and the exclusivity and symmetry of the circle spoofer is hard to overlook and think nothing of though. Hardly coincidental. Just look at them!

Hey cool, guess we're just gonna hand them a tube of dewormer and call it good.

My mad obsession with WW1 on Sextener Rotwand and Elferkofel continues unabated. I’m currently making the bigliest and most definitive map of the battlefield ever. Maybe. Reconciling archive and modern maps with modern and archive photos is 🤯

Constitutional hardball is a case of the Prisoner’s Dilemma: It’s bad for society—but even worse if one side does it while the other clings to broken norms. Only by responding in kind can Dems show the GOP that escalation isn’t in its interest but mutual disarmament is. One way Dems could do that:

Wanna see a sick jump?

Worth noting that she won the bronze medal in Winterberg at the next year's FIL World Championships. Emily is a legend and one of the greats of American luge.

This is basically harassment of scholars willing to question the Trump administration’s targeting of Chinese colleagues. Innes already had the FBI investigate his lab and was given the all clear. Now USDA is shutting down the Lab, which focuses on making fungus-resistant plants.

The hypothesis that last summers telecom sabotage campaign in south Sweden was in fact aimed at dual use military installations is strengthened. Masts facing southeastern Baltic and Kaliningrad were hit. Finland is now implementing the tech. It is not public whether SE uses it.

Man the idolatry is makes me think this is gonna linger around for a long time after we break them.

Martin Amis used to say something like the nation is in decline but we still excel at poetry. This is basically the same argument

News stories haven't broken yet, but just to be clear, a Frontier Airlines flight struck a person on the flight line or runway in Denver. Passengers were evacuated.

Cry and bitch and moan about “muh race to the bottom” but this isn’t a time for cowards. If you can’t pull the trigger get the fuck out of the way. Anyone not fighting with you is fighting against us. No more collaborators. No more half measures.

The metro region of Kviv expanded their rail and transit system while Ukraine was being threatened and then invaded by Russia. It's just embarassing that it takes us so long and costs so much to produce mediocre systems.

Meanwhile in Nick Cave Land
