Spring comes at the expense of allergies. Allergies everywhere. Flowers blossoming, bees flying around. These are the best days in spring. Cool breeze in the morning, sunny yet not dramatic middays, colourful sunsets. So allergies are just a minor thing. We'll be fine. Or not.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Chart showing that the most common decade people report as the time when various aspects of society peaked was a decade in which they were of school age.

Quick, which decade had the best movies, music, TV & fashion?

Americans don't agree on the decade. But they often say it was a decade they experienced as a school aged kid. For example, the best fashion & music happened in their teenage years.
Do you agree?

This too shall pass.

And everything will be alright.

Even if it doesn't look like it right now.

EVERYBODYYY GROOVE TO THE MUSIC, EVERYBODY JAMMM

This image is a meme. A photograph fills the area and above the image in black on white background: the text says: “Punch it bro, the lights grey.” The photograph is of three dogs in a car. A white dog sitting behind the wheel concentrating hard, a brown dog sitting in the front passenger seat looking out of the window, and the third brown dog sitting on the back seat with glowing white eyes looking ahead. A poor quality photograph but clear enough to make out.

Cleansing timeline sage:

I laughed a little too long and a little too hard at this.

I cannot believe it's already August

A photo of labor activist Chris Smalls, talking into a mic

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:

“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

To whom it may concern, and it should concern the editor: I was quoted in your publication: https://cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans/can-we-engineer-our-way-out-of-ocean-acidification/ Still, others aren't convinced that good intentions are enough. Dr. David Ho, Professor of Oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa, a cofounder and the Chief Science Officer of |C|Worthy, a non-profit that works on verifying ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, believes carbon removal efforts like ocean alkalinity enhancement shouldn't be left solely in the hands of private companies. "They have no way to prove that what they're doing is effective - that's a big problem," Dr Ho said. The crux of the dilemma, he explains, is that we are fighting a planetary-scale problem, but are doing it with tools that are still being built and tested. Geoengineering is not inherently good or bad, but it is inherently powerful. And power, especially when exercised in ecosystems as complex and fragile as the ocean, must be handled with caution. However, I have never spoken to your reporter, nor would I have said those things. I would like you to remove my quote from your story, and issue a public correction and apology. Furthermore, you should look into whether the other parts of the article are also factually correct. Thanks. d.

WTF? I was quoted in this story but I have never spoken to the reporter nor would I have said those things. Is everything just generated by LLMs these days?
