We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015
Maybe this is what finally closes the loop and fixes the world

GIVE HIM HIS HAT AND BACKPACK BACK YOU GHOULS
Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yesterday I looked up how many mediums there are in the phonebook (for book reasons) and it reminded me of this thread. I thought I should share it again so more of you can enjoy the weirdness that is Icelandic humour.
(FYI here are 12 mediums in the phonebook, one is a medium AND stunt actor)

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.
This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

Look we know the odds on this are long but just imagine if Elon Musk was on his wee spaceship to Mars and it went wrong and crashed into that vampire one who thinks he's going to live forever. Just imagine.

I fully support this call to refocus the UK back to its key national priority: enriching me and @samuelmarclowe.bsky.social, and me and Sam only.

I love everything about this story, not least the care and interest shown by the lorry driver.
In a remarkable story from Slovenia, a breeding pair of White Wagtails travelled all over the country in a lorry last summer, successfully raising young:

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.
OMG - f*ck AI for ruining the em-dash for writers. I use them all the time. Of course, what a shock that AI uses them since they were trained off my voice and other authors' voices.
I'm a writer who has specifically been directed *not* to use em-dashes because "they mean it was written by AI." I can detect AI writing, but it is not simply a matter of the punctuation used.

Spain’s decision to give legal residency to potentially half a million undocumented immigrants shows the country is an outlier among Western democracies in treating them as an asset.

Spaniards mostly view immigration as beneficial, although far-right opposition is rising.

Melania cost $75 mill to produce and distribute ($30 mill went straight into Melania's pocket), while Amazon made $50 bill from the Dump regime. It's not a movie, it's a bribe.

This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.
here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.
Again, this is terrorism.

Not to agitate my North American friends, but it's currently 7°C (45°F) here in Reykjavík and hasn't snowed all month. I haven't worn my big winter coat in a week.
Our local mountain, Esjan, basically has no snow. Pic from earlier this month; less snow now!

"Up to 380 people may have drowned attempting to cross the Mediterranean last week". The West's normalisation of the mass death of black Africans (because that is predominantly who these people are) will never be less than devastating.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

i am genuinely sort of surprised they went with bad bunny and then *added* green day, neither of whom have any incentive to stay quiet and both of whom have every incentive to make a big spectacle scene of it
the best part is that this is going to happen anyway, the NFL know what they’re doing
