Bears Discover Fire - Lightspeed Magazine I was driving with my brother, the preacher, and my nephew, the preacher’s son, on I-65 just north of Bowling Green when we got a flat. It was Sunday night and we had been to visit Mother at the Hom...

Rest in peace Terry Bisson author of, among other things, one of the funniest sci fi stories ever written (you can read it here):

perhaps running all of society based on the rules of hungry hungry hippo was a bad idea

Clairement un artiste très supérieur à Paul Well

Somewhere at some point in history, a person looked at an octopus and said "I'm gunna fuckin eat that".

And that is why you cannot trust people for a second.

Whoever put a 'b' in 'subtle' was next level.

Sur l’app HotelTonight, il y a presque toujours des bons deals, surtout si on est pas accroché à un quartier en particulier. J’ai entre autres testé un Astotel tout à fait ok à 110€

Je dirais même : « les bo skyers »

C’est un bon dénicheur (sans doute bien entouré) et il sait souvent trouver les mots pour décrire la musique mais ses bios d’artistes font grincer des dents, en effet. Sans parler des interviews. Il est meilleur en sons qu’en humains.

We used to do office computer backups on Zip drives. A few years ago, my intern and I were cleaning out old boxes. He held up a Zip disk from the box and said, incredulously, “Why would you 3-D print the save icon??” I laughed so hard I almost choked. 😂

There's always at least a 30% chance of finding out that your favorite science fun fact is something first discovered by Dr. Otto Von Racism during an attempt to make children more flammable.

Remember Clippy? This is him now. Don't be like Clippy. Stay away from drugs.

Hoag's Object, a ring galaxy with a yellow core and a surrounding bluish ring.

SPACE FACTS: DAY 47/365🛰️🧪

There is a rare type of galaxy called a ring galaxy, which has a core of old stars surrounded by a ring of young new stars. The most quintessential example of this is Hoag's Object, discovered in 1950.

Par ailleurs, l’idée qu’un écolo pas parfait c’est mal alors qu’un libéral en 4x4 est droit dans ses pompes, qu’un socialiste qui fraude c’est mal alors qu’un libéral a le droit… c’est élever l’égoïsme au rang de vertu

Je ne sais pas si les écolos vivent plus par l’image que les autres partis (ni s’ils ont vraiment le choix). Je ne sais pas si tous font des écarts à leurs principes pendant les vacances. J’imagine par contre qu’ils sont victimes d’attaques gratuites et ont parfois besoin d’une pause

Agreed. And neither does Oppenheimer himself. But to the “I loved Top Gun” crowd, he won the war and allowed for the boys to return home safe

I love the idea that, if conservatives go to see Oppenheimer to “fight the woke Barbie mania”, they will discover that it’s a movie about an American hero, a true patriot, that was unfairly treated by a right-wing government because of his socialist opinions

That’s such good news that I feel emboldened to ask about the Seven Sisters

[Funeral]

Me: "Do you mind if I say a word?"

Widow: "Please do"

Me *clears throat: "Plethora!"

Widow: "Thank you. That means a lot."

I think it may have been a bad idea to make the work machine and the procrastination machine the same machine.

running a scam where I treat people with respect and then they treat me with respect in turn

suckers don't even know they are being manipulated

One day, scientists from the city hear that the villagers are cured from all sorts of diseases by eating the mushrooms Grongus grows. They try to convince him to come work in their research facility, wear a very big lab coat, bring his emotional support turtle, … at least 3 seasons and a movie in it

Lately, I’ve been receiving spam that’s not caught by gmail filters almost daily. It seems that spammers have stepped up their game. Maybe they integrated ChatGPT for personalized messages ? Now gmail filters will have to rate e-mails on relevance. Some of my colleagues will not make the cut.

I can imagine the kind of free speech abuse you’re trying to prevent, and I agree that the Spiderman rule applies : Responsibility= f(Power), but you can’t solve it by banning people for who they are. You can only ban people for what they do. Have rules and ban those who don’t respect the rules

Have a look at what she’s been posting. I wouldn’t qualify it as a “political account”, rather the personal account of a person who happens to have a job in politics

Indiana Jones was fun, not as good as Last Crusade but equally entertaining and with a similar vibe

The blog mentions that “there was an associated sound too”
Was that a sort of jingle or the official way of pronouncing the symbol ?
