An endless ring of company scrip feeding into the climate machine is not the circular economy I imagined.

I guess we should have seen banner ads in the chatbots coming. "Punch the goat to get 100 free tokens from blasAI"

A colorful tiled wall reading MAIZ in sharp almost pixelated black tiles on a whilte background. Below it is a countertop lined with canisters of dried corn of many colors and sizes. Below the counter is a wall of multicolored tiles in floral, hearts, and patterned designs.

Three tacos in a cardboard clamshell. They are dark blue corn tortillas layered with chicken, carnitas and steak, topped with thin slices of pickled onion and radish. They look mouth watering good.

A monochrome photo of two crows standing in the street. A tree and a sidewalk strip planter box are in the foreground, and it's a foggy early morning.

Thatโ€™s a bummer because BAK would look really hot on a big stamped metal insignia.

A monochrome photo of a Christmas tree lot in a rainy parking lot. It is wrapped with signs advertising Christmas trees and sits beneath a sign for the grocery outlet in whose parking lot it sits. One large says Kringles Korner.

Wait, what? A RAT caught and ate a BAT? And there's video! What does it portend? Scientists filmed bats to see how they communicate while swarming. They found a surprise: In urban settings, rats attack bats. What are the implications for bats ... and virus spread to humans?

I was not prepared to see a rat catch a bat out of the air. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Oh, yeah, that whole thing is extremely hand-wavy, and there's also some good lab practice stuff that would probably head off the whole cataclysm, too.

Not knowing your molten anger criteria, I'll say it's a really fascinating show that so far has a lot of tension and heartbreak and weirdness, and I'm very curious to see where it goes.

HS teacher was reupholstering a chair with her rx glasses off, couldnโ€™t get the big staple gun to fire, pressed it to her chest for leverage and sunk a half inch staple into her breastbone. She shouted at her husband โ€œYou loaded the staples backwards!โ€

(She had a lot of good self-injury stories)

A 3d bar chart. I really couldn't tell you what it's displaying and don't know what the un-labeled numbers mean.

Harrell is mostly saying that ballots needing curing havenโ€™t been in elected office long enough, and besides they shouldnโ€™t need help from anybody.
