It's a year and a half after i highlighted the issue, but nice to see: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · 22h agoYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
A study shows male mice recovering from severe COVID-19 can pass anxiety-like traits to their offspring. The virus alters RNA molecules inside their sperm, suggesting a father's infection before conception could change how the next generation develops mentally. Source: archive.md/U7dad
Relief in sight! Surface smoke will remain moderate to heavy overnight, with moderate smoke on Wednesday, then less surface smoke on Thursday, as onshore winds push smoke east. Stay tuned for more info! #wawx Loop: HRRR surface smoke via @wxfront.bsky.social
No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home. If you fly, we can’t.
It’s fucking gross to mock Cori Bush for "the Capitol steps with her Cheez-Its." She was sleeping outside the Capitol to pressure Congress and Biden to extend the COVID eviction moratorium after it expired, protecting millions of renters from eviction. Bush herself had experienced homelessness.
I have a legitimate request. Are you a Baltimorean and did you name your child or pet Adley? Please email me: Andy.kostka@thebanner.com
A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks
The Dodgers have never won a game Tarik Skubal started for them
If you're going to T-Mobile Park tomorrow, please strongly consider wearing a mask due to the potentially unhealthy environmental conditions of watching the Seattle Mariners offense.
If you’re in line to homer off the Mariners tonight, stay in line!
This is brutal. Offense looks no different, new guys faceplanting, AQI is higher than the team's batting average for the night.
I am selling 2 tickets to tomorrow’s Mariners game (8/5) at 6:40 PM. They’re for the left field bleachers. $20 each/obo 🔱
Fixing the problems we face requires more action in community than just voting, but I believe they also require voting, especially in primaries and local elections.
Having the MLB trade deadline on a Monday and the WA primary the next day really is a lot for a very specific group of people (and I think I follow most of them lol) Drink some water and unclench your jaws!

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
My cats are sitting and staring at their automatic feeder, which goes off in 1 minute, like it’s their Super Bowl. I love them so much.
cw: suicide, suicidal ideation Mute word "Perez Hilton" (he is alive) Turn off video auto play on all platforms
Benny Six-Cats@teeveeben.bsky.social · 17h agoHey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.
Hey, maybe we shouldn’t be playing baseball with toxic air tonight!
