French polymath Clémence Royer was born 196 years ago today. Now she is most known for her 1862 translation of On the Origin of Species which pushed Darwin's ideas into the realm of human evolution, but in her day she was celebrated for her encyclopedic knowledge. tinyurl.com/5cbam92f #WomenInStEM

It’s always striking to me how much the people who’ve been complaining about feminists being “man haters” for all these decades do, in fact, *actually* think men are monsters

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

And then Tampa Bay lost lol

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways

Heard the same sentiments in Poland and Canada.

Of course they did. Let me say it again; FIFA is corrupt.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

I don't care about the Leafs one way or the other, but I do enjoy their issues being traced back in part to some dope relying on LLMs to do shit.

Well, that new Athletic article made me even more pessimistic about the teams direction. Super reassuring to see Pelly be taken in by AI to solve the Leafs problems. Fucccccckkkkkk

Finally it's raining. Mother Nature was thinking about it all day. 🌧️

Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense. Now for a solar carport mandate! Charge baby charge. ☀️⚡ #Bettrification #EVs

Trying to lose weight but like...I might need some Las Palmas tomorrow.

SO MANY DEAD CATS AND DOGS. WHY?!

I work at a high school and you can see things like ChatGPT losing its "coolness". They're getting bored with it. Because to them it wasn't a tool, but a trend. A toy. Only greedy unimaginative tech bros think it's cool. Also they're getting tired of influencers. I'm keeping the faith man.

How life feels having never seen an episode of Euphoria

CACKLES WILDLY

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

Happy final regular season home game! 🖤💛🐧 #LetsgoPens #Pittsburgh

It's up there with going into the deep ocean to explore. Absolutely wild and amazing.

As far as I know there is literally no reason for this, it is just an incredibly lucky coincidence that we get to enjoy for free

My Pens are in the playoffs 💛🖤😭

You ever see posts of items or toys and it says "90s kids will remember!" And you're like "Correction: WEALTHY 90s kids will remember"

More grateful than ever I don't watch cable

Keep boycotting 👍

Yes, I know the story. But I don't care. She's still cute and I needed this. #MadeInAbyss

Twice! :) ✈️🍁

The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE. The vote was unanimous. 🎉🎉🎉

reminder: if you ever see somebody stealing food, no the fuck you didnt.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

I have a dream that one day all the people will realize they are free. Hemp can save the world. Renewable energy is cheaper than oil. The super battery is real and being sold in a single motor vehicle. Room temperature super conductor is possible. Scarcity is by design, rarity raises prices.

Spring cleaning. If I haven't worn it in a year, I get rid of it. If I haven't used it in a year, clearly I don't need it. And keep chanting to myself, "I can't take it with me when I die"

Sang karaoke here in this Irish pub in Edmonton. Everyone is REALLY GOOD. So I picked a song that I knew all the words to and was within my range. Pink Pony Club. Nailed it 👍

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

To those still complaining about Artemis 2: We spend 100× more on killing people for oil profits, but yeah, NASA’s the problem. 🤦🏽‍♀️ NASA: $25B Defense: $901B That’s 36 NASAs. Space programs have driven major advancements in science, medicine, and technology, real benefits for humanity.

In a restaurant called Baijiu, and yes, they serve it ♥️ You sip and savor. It's not a shot unless you want to die. This is 53% ABV.

If anyone still supports Trump, they're a lost cause. You just gotta out vote them. I have members of my family who STILL do. I've talked, argued with, reasoned with, etc. I've tried different teaching tactics. Different media. No results. Just let them go and do what you can to fight Trump.

Anne Spencer!!

I was concerned earlier this season. But Raks is so locked in.

What's nice about traveling alone is I never have to wait for a table. I get seated at the counter by the window or at the bar. And that's fine by me 👍

Brunch on this fine day. I'm not Christian, but I hope those who are have a great day. It's taught today that Jesus is rising up and saving humanity and honestly we need all the help we can get.

Evgeni Malkin (39 years, 247 days) became the oldest player in franchise history to record a hat trick. He surpassed Mark Recchi (38 years, 353 days), who scored three in an 8-2 home win against the Maple Leafs, Jan. 20, 2007. (Malkin had five assists in that game.)
