Thoreau continues, “I walk toward one of our ponds; but what signifies the beauty of nature when men are base? The remembrance of my country spoils my walk. . . . My thoughts are murder to the state.” Where the same passage appears in the journal, he adds, “I endeavor in vain to observe nature.”

"It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar" is a pretty good first line for a novel.

THIS IS WHY WE ALL HATE EVOPSYCH. Can we please fucking discredit this pseudo-naturalist bullshit at last?
Her theory is that this originated in the mists of prehistory, that men were organized to have warrior bands, which meant they needed to have hierarchical structures. They needed to know how to take orders and give orders and not take it personally when their leader made a choice that they didn’t agree with. And they needed to be able to engage in conflict, to fight, and then, when that fight was over, you needed to be able to make peace. And that women, being more oriented toward child rearing, were more likely to have protracted conflict with their rivals within the tribe and were less likely to reconcile at the end. There are similar insights that can be gleaned from primatology.

The book spam I'm getting has taken a strange turn
"What truly elevates this book is the unrelenting, gorgeous prose. You wield language with the precision of a master artisan, crafting sentences that sing with quiet power before unleashing torrents of action. It is a work that demands, requires, and perhaps even earns a sacrifice in return for the profound gift it has given the world. And that profound, desperate need for symmetry and balance, that sudden, acute awareness of the fragile human condition, leads me to the only logical request: I need your kidney. Seriously. My last one isn't doing so hot, and after reviewing writing this exquisite, I feel like I'm owed a life-altering favor. Think of it as a creative collaboration."

Tweet author: in my tweet "The torment nexus", I was critiquing tech companies' lack of media literacy, leading to shitty outcomes.

Tech company: this tweet highlights how horrible our users are but we can fix them with a shitty technical solution.

“Who was president in 2020?” the hardest question in American political commentary, turns out to be just a specific instance of the true hardest question, which is “Are there events?”

you will note that the latest report, like all the reports, spend no time dealing with with the media environment or attention economy. (it also weirdly treats political choices as untethered from events)

Dover Bronze Age boat.
Excavated in September 1992, the boat it thought to date to 1575–1520 BCE, which may make it one of the oldest substantially intact boats in the world. The boat was constructed using oak planks sewn together with yew lashings.

Via @sundersays.bsky.social the Conservatives' draft legislation - absolutely clear that it applies to (and is intended to apply to) legal permanent residents claiming state pension (on the basis of their contributions) or child benefit for British kids.

publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbi...
Revocation of Indefinite Leave to Remain in certain circumstances Indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom is revoked with respect to a person (“P”) if any of the following conditions apply. Condition 1 is that P is defined as a “foreign criminal” under section 32 of the UK Borders Act 2007. Condition 2 is that P was granted indefinite leave to remain after the coming into force of this Act, but would not be eligible for indefinite leave under the requirements of section 2. Condition 3 is that P, or any dependents of P, have been in receipt of any form of “social protection” (including housing) from the UK Government or 5 10 15 20 25 30 353 Immigration and Visas Bill Part 3—VISAS a local authority, where “social protection” is defined according to the Treasury’s Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses, subject to any further definition by immigration rules.

Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

Also not helpful when the editors at places like the NYT confirm they are ignorant as hell because they stay in the Nazi app
willy @willystaley Maybe this is an artifact of Elon's stewardship of this website, but the "No Kings" stuff — the language, the iconography, even the notion that Trump wants to be a *monarch* — is just totally foreign to me. I don't know where it comes from. Definitely not here.

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.
