Yn a worlde where the humanityes are being systematicallye defunded by both the righte and the lefte, the internet ys one big seminar about the meaninge of *The Odyssey.* Ther ys a lesson yn thys somewher. And the lesson ys: funde the humanityes.

But of course, read the whole thread. Grateful for Cory Doctorow, and grateful he writes about Silicon Valley with a flamethrower....

Their descriptions made me chuckle. Saw this and immediately thought of @redskies.bsky.social

Thank you! I saw bits, but didn't have a chance to put it together.

Hey, I watch baseball. We don't need or want that nonsense...

And certainly not in short season areas like Michigan.

Warnock: "Look at this from a common sense perspective. I won two elections -- in '21 and '22. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican, so are you saying that on the same ballots that elected my R colleagues, their ballots are legit and the ballots that elected Ossoff & myself are not?"

Found the FDA's "Hey guys, we've been having more & more Cyclospora outbreaks in the US since 2017. Here's what we're doing to try & head that off, please fund more of this!" document. Kinda sobering! www.fda.gov/food/foodbor...

Cut this into ads. Now.

It's really fun when they're landmarks...

You know they tried this in the 70s, and pulled it back so fast that most people don't even know it happened. It was wildly unpopular in action.

Thank you! I had the 2 systems mine reciprocates with, and I knew I have in-state privileges with the NYC ones, but I didn't know that Buffalo is available to me as well! ( And one near Lake Placid, but I'd have to go there in person for the card. I don't think that will happen.)

If Jared Kushner paid €110m to buy an island in Albania that has no fresh water from a guy who did not own it, it would help explain why his negotiations with Iran on behalf of the US have not been entirely successful

In case your day needs a little break to watch a crane drinking water, looking exactly like a dunking/drinking bird toy, Stiltchild's got you covered. 🪶

I tell you, though, I do not mind not having to find a place to pull over to look at the map to figure out if I missed a turn and what one way street I need to find to turn around. Especially at night. And I do use online maps to learn a new area - I moved states twice in 3 years. But I'm 70.

What kind of Summer Activities are you people doing?

I'm in Central NY, and same. June was cold, then abruptly very hot. Just got the first tomato and cukes this week, lettuce bolted... Now we're dairy country, produce is eaten locally, but the same weather pattern came over the Finger Lakes, and they do fruit. I hear berry harvests were bad.

Have you noticed that the crypto industry is showing up to primaries and aiming a money cannon at anyone they think might regulate it? Do you think that's a problem? Join us tomorrow for a deep dive on crypto and money in politics with Ben McKenzie:

Anyway I think the moral rot of our society is probably not unrelated to the disdain for the workers who effectively raise our children, take care of our elders, clean our streets, etc
