Life update: it all still hurts a lot

Worth plugging this as well (credit: @imanibarbarin.bsky.social

Diagram of various alt-right pipelines, screenshotted from Imani Barbarin’s (@crutchesandspice)work as posted on TikTok. The four funnels are Dominance, Status, Eugenics, and Race/Gender. Topics that lead to Dominance funnel are pranks, physicality, sports , and finance. Topics that lead to the Status funnel are consumption, fashion, entrepreneurship, and wealth. Topics that lead down the eugenics pipeline are health, fitness, cures, and holistics. Finally, the Race/gender pipeline is fed by beauty, entertainment, dating, and 20 v 1.

SO not the point, but… heh… the square root of 69 is ate something, right? 🤪Cuz I’ve been tryna work it out

A closer look at the OP’s included cartoon, which features a “detective” crouching over a garbage can and“investigating” a piece of math scratch paper. The writing on the paper includes the square root of 69.

I mean how can you not love Sophie Willan? So perfectly unhinged across the whole of series 17.

Currently watching the first season and crying my eyes out. She is an amazing woman. I feel quite seen by the records episode.

“If I could tell that little girl in my records anything, I’d tell her: You’re gonna be more than fine. You’re gonna be fucking fabulous, love.”

Sophie Willan, marry me.

Bird photography tips, an oldie that is hopefully useful for spring migration right now.

A comic called Bird Photography tips. A good bird photo shows a cape may warbler perched on a branch, with excellent lighting, subject in focus, and field marks clearly visible. A great bird photo shows the warbler in mid hop, labeled with peerless athleticism, levitation??, powerful. An excellent bird photo shows a little round warbler facing the camera, labeled borb, round, and a good bird. An exceptional bird photo shows the bird zooming forward mid flight, labeled nyooooom.

The “in effect; virtually” meaning of 'literally' is not a new sense.

It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, James Joyce, and many others.

This is K2-18b.

It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star.

The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.

When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.
