Book 6 - "Where the Deer and the Antelope Play", Nick Offerman's paean to Agrarianism. Something hopefully lighter to read. Having read the introduction, it feels like it pitches its tent somewhere between Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" and Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring"

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

Just read two emotionally wrecking books on the go, so next I'm going to read something fun and frivolous.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Ooh, a whole Two Hours of sleep.

Brain, you really know how to spoil a girl.

I'm using the "to diminish the quality of" meaning of spoil there, obviously 😔

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Waymo is currently considered the autonomous driving gold standard, and even their "self-driving" isn't really self-driving.

As Musk pushes for his Optimus horseshit in the coming year, we're going to learn "autonomous" really means "poor people in telepresence gear."
