The testudo remains effective. 🐢

how did we go from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building data centers everywhere

"Re-Elect Sheriff Z" "Make K. County Safe Again" These slogans refer to the same candidate. So...he didn't "make it safe" the first time?

I am finally done! I have no idea if the store actually works! I will ship to other countries now! Anyway direct your browser to suncircleranch.com and voila, the menu has a "Shop" option and there you will find an Analog Adventure kit, the wallet I made as a love letter to the piedmont, etc.

The core problem with "surveillance pricing" isn't the pricing, it's the *surveillance*, and the way to fix this is to ban most forms of data collection. There's simply no good reason to allow companies to build highly detailed dossiers full of our personal information.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing detectable neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HIV within just THREE weeks after a SINGLE immunization which was further INCREASED after an additional booster.

With rare exceptions (those that post full transcripts), podcasts exclude folks with hearing or auditory-processing dysfunctions.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

*Something* went right last year, anyway.

Absolutely wonderful thread on the women who developed WWII anti-submarine tactics.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Wild weather in SE WI today; from a pre-dawn low of 26° to a 7pm high of 67° (red line; the blue dot is current -8pm- temp of 66°). Storms and migraines and winds O MY!

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

Love this!

I would fly this airline.

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

Spent Saturday with friends; Sunday my partner and I slow-wandered local museums; Monday we played music together; tonight I took a 3-mile walk after work, then texted with my daughter and with my bestie. My life is filled with goodness.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Jill Stein and her ilk are the election version of cicadas: they emerge periodically from invisibility, are good for nothing but making annoying background noise, and then disappear. Charlotte is entirely correct.

Difficult to settle on just one (I love soundtracks), but either Patrick Doyle's score for Branaugh's "Henry V," or "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Also in the running: "Master and Commander," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Flashdance," and the 1995 version of "Rob Roy."

Eid al-Fitr Mubarak to all who celebrate in America and around the world. We hold in our hearts those enduring conflict and hardship. May this holy holiday bring strength to them and a future filled with justice for all.

I encountered a bit of cracking good science this morning, thanks to a FB friend, and it has just completely lightened my day. *raises a mug, sans teaspoon* FOR SCIENCE! www.bmj.com/content/331/...

4th graders went to the Peshtigo Fire Museum and the Logging Museum in Marinette, WI. When I went (mid '70s), the day also included the "Mystery Ship Seaport," a 19th-century schooner that had been wrecked in Green Bay, raised, and turned into a tourist attraction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_C...

I needed that on this Monday morning. 😆

Honestly, if we come through this mess to find we still have something resembling a democracy left, there's a whole line of federal judges who'll deserve the highest honors we can give them. And Boasberg will be among their leaders.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Thank you, Sir, for speaking plain truth.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Yum! Sabor Divino, a Puerto Rican food truck from Milwaukee, is moving into a former diner a few blocks up the street! They're running the truck now on limited hours while finishing up the sit-down interior. Smelled great when I walked past tonight - gotta try it soon!

I went to historical-fencing practice tonight and pretty much kept up with folks, even a few who are probably 30 years younger than me. A lot of laughter, some good coaching, some things to work on. Gonna be sore tomorrow but for the best reasons. It's good to be back in the game.

Wrote this in July and for whatever reason people rediscovered it and are sharing it. Yup. I stand by it.

I will leave a platform for good before I'll give them photo ID. I don't care what I'll be "missing out on."

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

God awful. Customer service and they already leaked the data? Great job discord. We fucking called it

I'd forgotten about the decanter of old Spanish brandy that sits gathering dust atop my china cabinet. It was a thought-provoking libation to put seal to a long week: smoke and caramel, journey-dust and sea-wrack, saddle leather and bitter orange peel; subtle, complex, haunting.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

Every morning that we collectively wake up with that batshit, decrepit, incompetent, morally bankrupt orange pedophile stinking up the White House, I curse everyone who voted for the motherfucker. Don't think I don't see you. You can fuck all the way off and keep going.

many things are bad. my boring hot take is since airport restaurants already charge so much more, they should offer breakfast items all day. sometimes people are flying in from other time zones. sometimes you want a BEC on a bagel at 1:30pm before boarding your plane.

#MedSky Why do we care as physicians? Because #ICE is hurting our patients. We care for ALL humans with dignity and respect, whether or not they are American citizens. #NurseSky
