For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

A turnip, I swear it is, but maybe an American one? Because it's shorter than the ones I see in Irish drawings? Carved into a face, and OK it's not a spooky face but rather maybe a forest sprite? Or a cat? It's illuminated from within by a candle, which might have been the wrong way to do it? I honestly don't know. I did use a spoon, and it was quite difficult to hollow out but wow did that face end up cute rather than spooky

I tried

The comments on this post are hilarious. The subject of this post is not.

Today I announced an agreement between Washington state, Oregon, and British Columbia to renew and strengthen our partnership.

Together, the Cascadia region will address housing affordability, invest in clean energy, and create the conditions for long-term economic growth.

Good afternoon, Marisa. Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien. Please feel free to direct any questions to them. Respectfully, James Tricia McLaughlin @TriciaOhio • 6h S... Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property. He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.

So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

It’s so good it’s basically pandering. I’m like how DARE you as I hand over the money

Just out of the most gorgeous gig by Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta and for all this country's faults (and there's more than a few), glad to be living in a place where an artist dedicating a lament to those suffering genocide in Palestine is met with nothing but unanimous applause

live your life so that when you die everyone talks about how hot you were and not how you were a hateful bigot

I went looking at houses, but they were all outside in, or just windows hanging in space. Turns out I accidentally hired a surrealtor

If you missed the live recording of the Murderbot interview episode at WorldCon, you can watch it here:

1. David Ackerly (UC Berkeley) While his most-cited work is on leaf size and SLA, he also wrote explicitly about plasticity in leaf traits, including shape, in the context of ecological strategies. Example: Ackerly (1997), “Allocation, leaf display, and growth in fluctuating light environments: A comparative study of deciduous and evergreen species” (Oecologia). This emphasizes how plasticity in leaf traits mediates adaptation to light.

Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

Booooo

Puck is on day 6 of 10 isolated to recover after surgery, so she sympathizes.

A shitty map created by ChatGPT5. it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Black text on an orange background reads “There is a tsunami advisory for Washington State. Stay out of the water and away from the shore, including harbors and marinas. Dangerous waves and currents expected. More information at tsunami.gov.”

A TSUNAMI ADVISORY has now been issued for Washington state. If you are on the coast, stay OUT OF THE WATER & AWAY FROM THE SHORE, which includes HARBORS and MARINAS due to strong currents & dangerous waves. Details here: tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/...

I would play this game

as we enter into a new era of internet censorship, it is your solemn duty to break the egg prime directive. do it constantly. tell everyone. tell them again. tell them about estrogen and about T.

I made it to my mid-teens before I even knew what transition was. let’s not go back to that.

Canceled my Paramount subscription today. I was prepared to go spend a bunch to replace my #StarTrek channel, but it turns out the economics of the future are a bit different.

I'll miss SNW, but hopefully it won't be too long before I can pick up Season 3.

tweet from @buffys that says "define you had to be there" Merriam-Webster tweet that says "It took me 19 years to figure out NEWS stands for "notable events, weather, and sports" 🤔" Merriam-Webster response: "No."

'News' is the plural of 'new' and originally meant "that which is new."

Developer: Yeah I reckon the AI coding tools make me about 20% faster

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.
