This is the greatest video I have ever seen.
Massimo (mirror)@rainmaker1973-m.bsky.social · 2d agoA fluffy bear floating through the water in search of fish. Bears can float due to their thick layers of fat, which is less dense than water. Brown bears accumulate extra body fat during fall, allowing them to float while "snorkeling" for salmon. Original post
And it's still VERY bad in the children's book world! Parents and even educators will dismiss my books, or ask how many boy characters there are, and if the girls are "too girly." I have never seen a male author asked if there are girls in his books, or if the boys talk about "boy stuff" to much!
Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · last wk.As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.
I can't decide which of the men in this video I hate more. It might be a tie!
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last wk.The president's authority as "commander in chief" refers to the military only. The president cannot use executive orders to expand the definition of who is eligible for birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The president's aide saying these things is a virulent white nationalist.
"Netflix is adapting one of Phillip K. Dick's more obscure and bizarre stories!" Please be, "O, to be a blobel!" Oh please, oh please! Sigh. It's not. ("The World Jones Made.") That's fine. I'll watch it. Cowards.
Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012
As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/
Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.
In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.
“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”
I still can't get over the fact that our politicians get $558 per week for meals... WTAF? While kids get cut off SNAP 2,232 per month, just for meals. I will be mad about this for a long time. They have the nerve to deny low income kids food
I miss the days when MTV showed music videos and the Weather Channel didn’t show the planet on fire.
Ana Navarro: Let’s remember that lCE has kiIIed before, just kiIIed again today. A lot of times has lied about it, has explained it in a way that does not fit the video that we see and, testimony from people on the ground. Over 52 people have died in lCE custody.
The version of Ivanhoe starring Anthony Andrews is a huge part of why I'm like this, not just because of the crush I had on Anthony Andrews, but also because of Sam Neill as Sir Brian Bois Gilbert, and the seductive hissing at Rebekah. Also, Olivia Hussey is absolutely a goddess.
Take a minute for this Sam Neill clip, reuniting with his JP co-stars.
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
Thank you, Madeline, I needed this!
madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · last mo.Right. Okay. This requires some backstory. In 1984, a small, low budget film studio in North Carolina produced a parody of Star Wars, called Hyperspace. It was released in the U.K. as ‘Gremloids’. The main character, shown here, was Lord Buckethead.

I remember this. It was a scandal that rocked the national news!
Barnes & Noble is running their quarterly PREORDER25 deal! And, may I humbly suggest you use it for this?
You know why the first line of I Capture the Castle hits so hard? Because it's so damn accurate. I was noodling around "writing, and slid out of my chair to pick up the popcorn I had dropped on the carpet. Now it's 15 minutes later and I'm kneeling in front of my laptop banging away at this chapter.
