he meant pemmican, not panican. the president is encouraging americans to dry leftover wild game at home, mix well with tallow for a binder, and flavor with foraged currants or chokeberries. this ancient & calorie-dense survival food will carry us through the darkest nights of winter still ahead

Remember, if someone tells you that your dream of having a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is "unrealistic", they were never your friend to begin with.

Composite shows four Hubble images in quarters. At top left is a crisp view of Mars in shades of orange, blues, and browns. At top right is planetary nebula NGC 2899, which is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its central torus appearing semi-transparent and blue and green, and its top and bottom edges in orange. At bottom left is a tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a triangle takes up the center. At bottom right is barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 with a milky yellow center that forms a bar surrounded by multiple blue star-filled spiral arms that wrap up counterclockwise.

Someone on TikTok repeatedly messages me with, β€œdo a TikTok on each of your books, what they’re about!”

You mean like…the books I’ve written, in which the words sort of (hopefully) explain what the book is about?

I am happy for people who can do all that work but Jesus the internet has worn me out

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.

Greenland is not a failing business ripe to be scooped up by any vulture capitalists who happen by. It doesn't have a price tag; it's not a revenue-generation machine. Out of all the awfulness of the past two months, seeing framings like this from other journalists is among the most heartbreaking.

What a gem! This vintage map from 1937 shows famous flights and air routes of the aviation pioneers. I love this map! Surely the pilots and aviation enthusiasts here will love this one too! Super high res version that you can zoom into: buff.ly/FRLdsFa

Hey BlueSky people, The Line is now here, too. We are, I'll admit, still trying to figure out what to do here. It's a very different operating environment than SOME OTHER PLACES. But while we live and learn, we'd appreciate the follow. bsky.app/profile/thel...

What’s The Yukon Quest Without The Yukon River? | Defector As the dog teams competing in the 2014 Yukon Quest rested at the race’s halfway point in Dawson City, I drove my Jeep Grand Cherokee out onto the frozen Yukon River. In Dawson, the main townsite sits ...

β€œWhen I think of the race, I think of the sight of a distant dog team, looking like nothing more than a low set of shadows running below the tall, sandy cliffs that hem in the river.”

A beaut from @evaholland.bsky.social on what a lack of deep cold means for mushing.

If there's anyone in the US doing what Coast Salish people do with Cowichans, it's on a hobby level, not a commercial level. So when it comes to hand-spun, hand-knit sweaters of this quality, the Canadians are undeniably better.
