With iNaturalist, GBIF, and an increasing amount of scientific literature online, it is now possible to identify many bugs from all over the world without having to get physical specimens in front of an expert. Last 5 years especially.
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Are you really "not making enough progress" or is it just that your expectations of yourself outpace both what you'd expect of anyone else *and* the laws of physics

the signature doesn’t even matter (tho it’s his), the idea that epstein would’ve kept a book around with a *fake* letter like that from trump, his close friend, bound into the middle of a book full of similar letters, none of which are alleged to be false, for two decades, is patently absurd.

Some dipshits have taken to calling the majority of humans "NPCs". Meaning we lack agency and don't think for ourselves.
These are the same folks who want us to become dependent on A.I., which will make us lack agency and be unable to think for ourselves.

does anyone remember how a guy broke into pelosi's home and tried to murder her husband? just me? ok, how about this one, it took place in january about 5 years ago
I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.
If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.
Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
