Library mensch. Warning: pre-coffee posts will be cliché-ridden. Folklore is more fun when you are not living it.  Opinions, when offered, are mine. The lies are what will destroy us. THERE IS NO PLANET B. @ratgrrl on @mstdn.social
I read about half this article this morning (too early for cannibalism) and I learned what the phrase "custom of the sea" means. Certainly that explains some jokes I have missed in shipwreck movies. Also, the Chicken of the Sea people were pretty bold with their product naming.

Rollers are a group of birds that get their name from their
dramatic tumbling flight during courtship and territorial displays.
While we did see a bit of those displays, this Lilac-breasted Roller seemed mainly concerned with flashing his fancy colours!

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

“Migrants aren’t supposed to have families” is a morally bankrupt position
“on article 8 of the ECHR in particular the right to family life ..we want to constrain in legislation the way that that is applied in immigration cases” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood tells Sky’s Trevor Philips

Who would have imagined we would ever hear this from a Labour government

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Also, don’t miss that all the lines on this graph are 99th percentile *and up*. The “hey, that didn’t get much higher” line is, like, the 99.5th percentile. Statistically speaking, all of us are in a flat line at the bottom that was too insignificant to include.

There’s a lot about the current moment that reminds me of “Brazil,” but “Mar-a-Lago face” is pretty on the nose:

If you’re anxious about the aurora because “we didn’t use to have the Northern Lights this far south,” don’t be!

The sun’s just doing a normal solar cycle like usual. We just now have cameras in our pocket that can detect aurora, and social media to spread the word to get out looking!

It's great when people in positions of high standing use their entire work email signature when writing to their pedophile buddy for advice on dealing with sex crime charges.
In Feb. 2018 following the first Buzzfeed article, Krauss emailed Epstein.

Krauss: "I wonder if I will ever really recover.. I wish they would indict Trump or something right now.."

Epstein, providing more advice: "break the charges into ludicrous. ogling. jokes. . etc. ."
