Oh yeah stallion semen market is just *wild* I admit to being very curious if it's actually been demonstrated to be effective. Like is using that expensive semen more likely to give you a star performing horse? We need data

Ooh, I looked it up and the horses have the bulls beat by a mile—3.8 million for the top bull, 49 million for the top stallion!

It occurs to me I should have specified human—high quality bovine semen is, of course, another matter entirely.

Good to know! Someone do a semen to oil conversion…?

LOWELL — Residents in cities like Lowell are being asked by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Affairs to minimize water use due to critical levels of drought.

New Yorkers need affordable homes. New Yorkers need great public libraries. So we're building both. Today, we took the next step toward creating a brand-new library and more than 200 affordable homes at the New Utrecht Library site in Brooklyn. Because public land should serve the public.

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

Sure looks like the dictatorship of capital to me

"Landlord" is a company; the rent was unpaid because the previous company had major violations in apartment upkeep (and taxes to the city and shit like not paying electricity bills). quite a read.

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

Feels like a good time to re-up this

I'm not holding my breath but everyday is a new opportunity for a player or coach from the USMNT to speak out publicly against the mistreatment of visiting teams and referees.

on Bluesky, you’ll be able to create communities, join them, post in them, and get updates. the core features on Bluesky stay simple. the magic comes from communities also existing on the open web. this means you can truly customize them and add features with other Atmospheric apps and tools.

we're building this on-protocol and in the open with the dev ecosystem. it's a new structure for everyone building in the Atmosphere, not just Bluesky. i’ll write out a few ideas we have in mind so far. let me know what you think.

communities are coming to Bluesky this year. today, Bluesky is one big space. communities will be smaller spaces inside that where you can go deeper and hang out with people who care about the same stuff.

Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey

The other thing that I wish the piece had gotten into but didn't is the economics of dairy. If you're a small to mid-sized dairy producer it is difficult to make money. There's been decades of consolidation. But you can sell raw milk for a premium. So it is a grift.

Since that pasteurized milk article is getting attention, I need to point out that the article doesn't actually explain what pasteurization is and given that it includes people arguing against "boiled milk" it's useful to note that classic pasteurization uses temperatures much lower than boiling

This is just straight up fascism. Threatening to destroy elections and running roughshod over basic constitutional principles is anathema to a healthy democratic nation. www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/p...

tl;dr in this house, we're pro Library. If authors aren't getting $, that's not the library's fault.

9yo was talking about how the Wings of Fire series has spread like wildfire through her friend group, that she started reading it b/c Kid 1 was reading it, then Kid 2 saw her reading it, etc etc Were the kids buying it from the bookstore? Of course not; they were checking it out from the library.

The reduction of the Internet to a few tiny toxic commercial windows through which to view information is never more clearly displayed than when you try and find out, say, if a certain film is showing in your town, or available to buy and watch, and it’s harder to get an answer than it was in 1985.
