Just once want to see a time travel movie where they go back in time and end up floating in the void of space because earth hasn’t gotten to where they are yet

L'atelier de Musique is another great channel with a revolving door cast of cool DJs doing great with personality - this history professor looking cat in front of his plants, some sets from others in what looks like a high school home ec classroom, etc. Great stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ht...

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.

Just dropped some $ on the Chicago street vendor fund, but I too was wondering if there's an NYC equivalent. bsky.app/profile/goch...

I'd buy out some of the lunch-cooler vendors at construction sites near my office, but I wouldn't know how to get the free food distributed by not-at-risk folks.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Reposting in acknowledgment of the millions dollar Black AI
The main thrust I see with this AI "inclusion" is generating Black & brown faces that will obediently say the words white folks want without talking back and nary a dollar will touch real Black & brown folks.

The future sucks lol
