I have a small footprint on FB, primarily for bagpipe-related groups. My new rule is: when I see some AI slop, itโ€™s time to leave the site. And it works! I waste way less time.

Why I Broke Up with LA by Lena Dunham:
Coyotes kept eating my rescue dogs, and a neighbor asked how many dogs I have, and I said I just go to the shelter and get a new dog afterwards, so they said it sounds like I'm just feeding shelter dogs to coyotes, and then I started crying and moved to London.

"Typefesse is a playful butt-shaped typeface in which the letters are rendered in such a way that the reading is done through the folds of the body." Chef's kiss.

The first person to discover a link between increased levels of CO2 and #globalwarming was a New Yorker named Eunice Newton Foote. Read her 1856 paper, and how she went unacknowledged for more than a century, here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/f... #earthday #climatechange

"Most people prefer to associate food with comfort, joy, and their grandmotherโ€™s kitchen, not the boiling of the planet. In general, it helps to focus on the appeal of the meals, rather than their lack of meat; people want to feel like theyโ€™re getting something, not being denied something."

Well, I didn't know that. Thanks! The "opposite" is true with silica gel packets, too: Put them in the oven at 150-200F for a couple of hours, and they're ready to absorb moisture again.

I believe itโ€™s called hostile architecture and itโ€™s 100% on purpose. Just bearable enough for folks to wait 10-20 min but not a hospitable space for unhoused folks.
