Just read this on Insta and am gobsmacked at how the AI propagandists are telling us TO OUR FACE that they want to:
1) replace all artists and thinkers
2) read our every emotion
3) influence our every move
And us being pissed is just “the first stage of grief”
KEEP UP THE PUSH BACK FOLKS!

Bolsonaro gets 27 years for his attempted coup to hold power in Brazil. Trump is acquitted by Republicans in impeachment & then re-elected so he can inflict more ego-driven destruction at home & around the world. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Seriously. I'm a fairly neurotic person, but I can't imagine being this scared of my own mortality. It's kind of pathetic, really.
Yes. Don't waste six hours every day trying to turn back the clock.
Tech millionaire turned longevity pioneer Bryan Johnson devotes more than 6 hours a day to trialling different methods to turn back the clock. Can the rest of us learn anything from his radical approach?

On July 12, 1855, some drunk clowns got into a massive brawl with a bunch of firefighters at a Toronto brothel.
By the next day, several firefighters were beaten and the circus was burned to the ground.

Boglands once were considered portals to the gods and other universes. Liminal spaces between familiar and unfamiliar, water and land - they are eerie, beautiful, pagan. They harbor weird biodiversity and regulate climate. No wonder they are rejected by white, colonial patriarchy. Respect the bogs.

Are Ocean Plastics Creating an Ecosystem That Should Be Preserved?
One researcher opposes ocean cleanup efforts because they have the potential to destroy an “entire ecosystem that we do not understand and that we may never be able to restore.”

John Wintrup continues to push for destruction of a valuable ecosystem to further his cronies' short-term profit. Shame on him.
The battle over Lemay Forest continued Wednesday morning, as the developer was barred from accessing it via one spot, trees were cut down by another crew, and one city councillor said a colleague is pushing for the city to expropriate the land.
Protesters block Lemay Forest access point despite court order, saying they’ll await police

Well, today I have found myself in an extremely bizarre predicament.
I seem to have lost a loaf of bread. I bought groceries a few days ago- I didn't notice it was missing until now. No idea where it went.
How does one LOSE a loaf of bread? 🤦🏻♀️

Ok so we’ve been drinking, as you do after the science is done. In addition to the science conference, there is ALSO a youth bible conference happening at the same time. If you don’t think I’m giving those kids squid facts stickers at the Waffle House, you don’t know me at all.

The glass amphipod Cystisoma is transparent because in the open ocean there is nowhere to hide, and its round head is completely covered in giant eyes. So when you're swimming far from shore just remember: you can't see them, but they can see you.
