Naught but a leap to the left
And thanne a clockwyse tread;
Put thyne handes on thyne hippes,
And be thy knees yn-gatheréd:
Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste
That maketh mirthe down to rayne -

Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!

Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.

We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Everything is for sale.

Eat Like a Medieval Saint With Her Recipe for 'Cookies of Joy' St. Hildegard was a mystic, healer, and passionate proponent of spelt and nutmeg.

There's a LOT of nutmeg in those cookies, just sayin'.

(Hildegard was pretty amazing, though.)

AI enables a Who's Who of brown bears in Alaska A team of scientists from EPFL and Alaska Pacific University has developed an AI program that can recognize individual bears in the wild, despite the substantial changes that occur in their appearance over the summer season. This breakthrough holds significant promise for research, management, and conservation efforts.

Tech is sometimes good! "A team of scientists from EPFL and Alaska Pacific University has developed an AI program that can recognize individual bears in the wild, despite the substantial changes that occur in their appearance over the summer season."

If we're supposed to work in Hex, why have we only got A fingers?

Aside from the Twitter schadenfreude... I never bought anything from an ad there either. Even before the dark times.

But I HAVE bought stuff via Facebook ads, if only because the targeting is far more effective. I mean, how could I say no to a kitty-themed Hawaiian shirt? Or good German bread?

I love this.

Kind of weird for the theme song of Trump’s new organization to be something Prince wrote about the inability to move on after a breakup or loss. Sinead O’Connor said she thought about her deceased mom every time she sang it.

My great-great-grandfather in 1890. He was an immigrant who started with nothing and built an admirable life... including more than a few patents.

"We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we remember that we are not descended from fearful [people], [people] who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were, for the moment, unpopular." -Edward R. Murrow from "See It Now," March 7, 1954

Screen shot explaining the tie breaker rules of the WBC

Man, what a bummer. Had the Korea/Australia score been 8-3 instead of 7-2, Taiwan would have advanced to the WBC quarterfinals due to 3 team tiebreaker rule

Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An 800-watt unit that costs $1,099 is capable of powering a fridge or a few small appliances for a sunny fraction of the day. That’s enough power to reduce bills for a New York household by $279 per year on average.

F!
