Hippos weigh a bit over 3000 pounds. If a hippo is moving at a standard jogging pace for a person (~4 mph), that's an equivalent momentum to a person running into you at highway speeds (~60 mph).

Except the person would probably stop after the collision. The hippo wouldn't notice it hit you.

And AS LONG AS THERE'S 8" THICK STEEL BEAMS BETWEEN ME AND THEM, they're really cute.

It was genuinely like something out of Jurassic Park. Every time they *brushed* against these massive steel grates, they rang out like bells, because there's just *so much force* behind any of their movements.

The reason horseshoe theory exists is centrists who don't believe in anything are being yelled at on both sides by people who hold beliefs.

That is the only commonality, but when you can't conceive of taking an honest to god stance, everyone drawing lines looks the same.

I'm not saying I disagree. I'm just saying having Sell Out kick in while he's stuffing mobster heads into a duffle bag is all I ever wanted.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

I (as an academic) am always distrustful of a university that says not "We will teach you about this thing," but "We will teach you to be this thing."

Dr. Emily Friedman @friede.bsky.social · 7d

Here’s the things I believe to be true:

- we need intellectual centers to study phenomena shaping our world, so we can better understand how their origins & their impact, with the perspective of time.

- Creator/influencer studies is a growing field that does that work.

- that is not what this is.

Last weekend I went on a solo adventure to Seattle to do something WAY outside my comfort zone

I met up with the wonderful team behind @rpgmajor.bsky.social - a musical improv actual play, to record a musical series for One Shot.
