The agave snout weevil looks like if Boston Dynamics made an insect.
It was a very weird experience. 1st I was trying to process what I was seeing w/my eyes—why is the inside of this plant squirming?—and then the visual processing was appended with an appropriate tag—bugs; giant larvae!—and THEN i yelped. I felt it happening in slow motion, like when u stub ur toe.
It was a this point that i called a professional.
Wow. This makes me feel a lot better abt my yelp.
Not me trying to move a giant, dying agave, only to turn it over and discover the inside the rotting and full of writing beetles.
But, me.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two sentiments.
“.. There’s no point in deceiving ourselves: Trump now sounds little different than Vladimir Putin in how he justifies the conflict—and in how much power he has claimed for himself to dictate America’s participation in it.”

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?
I spent the day at a small conference where the CO2 in the room hovered between 1800–2000 ppm. You better believe I wore a mask. I'm on a train heading home now. You better believe that's a maskin'.
We're thrilled to release the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! This is a collaboration with @rthm.bsky.social to help patients & providers explore treatment options together.
The guide focuses on 24 medications, but includes a few other interventions for breadth /1
By my count I’ve used 11 of the 29 possible #LongCovid interventions in this list. And they’ve made a big difference!
(There’s no way he’s actually right about this insofar as many blue collar vocational jobs that can’t be replaced by AI are predominately female, eg nursing, and many of the jobs that will be immediately affected are predominately male, eg software engineers)
No childcare, nursing, or eldercare services in our society apparently.
Can you imagine detesting the Earth so much and wanting to leave it and go to Mars and meanwhile the Earth is just being the baddest bitch.

I always see that phrase as having 2 meanings depending on how u are primed to perceive it. After as in vs before. (We all now live in the after.) And after as in, past it. (In which we do not live, even if some imagine themselves to). The discarded mask however is unambiguous.
ICYMI: Check out this incredible data visualization story on the shuttering of Long COVID clinics by @delfimarchese.bsky.social.
Delfi reached out to 100s of U.S. clinics: only 30 responded, showing how difficult it is for people with Long COVID to access care.

Has there ever been a war in modern American history of which more Americans were simply living their lives entirely unaware that it was happening?
This post is a novel.
This actress in this commercial is incredible. Are people just better actors now? (See also: Connor Storrie). What is happening? Everyone out here doing the equivalent of quads in acting.
This is how a person starts to believe in astrology.
My dog puked at 5 am and after cleaning it all up off the floor, when I put her dog beds into the wash I came back to discover the whole container of detergent had fallen off the shelf and spilled out all over the laundry room, so then I was also wiping the detergent off the floor like it was puke.
No greater key to happiness than being identified with the impervious, invulnerable, supes reliable, immortal body as many sages have noted.
“Can I give your dog a treat?”
“Whats in it?”
“Chicken.”
“Oh she doesnt do well with poultry.”
“Oh its fine. There‘s only 3 ingredients.”
“Right? And the first one is chicken. Like she WILL eat it. And then she‘ll puke, so…”
Like, hello? The fuck?

A captured country.
I wasn't placing blame. Just offering a connection between its process and its outcome.
