This one packs a punch. Do you eliminate an invasive species to save dozens of other species from extinction? It's like the trolley problem for (non-human) animals. A near-impossible question for animal lovers. Will the real invasive species stand up? #cli-fi Eradication: A Fable by Jonathan Miles
Well, this is a refreshing take "The joy of autism | Yes, we’re in a world of our own: for the autistic mind, it’s a place of intense curiosity, deep focus and sensory delight" aeon.co/essays/why-b...

If you like your sci-fi/cli-fi "weird," run don't walk to pick up a copy of "Dengue Boy" by Michel Nieva; it's sui generis AF
The internet is so vast, I am constantly astounded at things I don't know. Like, I just learned this week there is a whole TV channel/site for vegans! Way to go, vegans! unchainedtv.com Unchained TV. Plus the app doesn't even demand an email addy to start watching, I checked--so it is 100% free!
Not sure what type of raptor this is, but I caught it being mobbed by crows earlier this morning up on 15th St here in Seattle. Crows are fearless!
This is CPAC, everybody. Never forget who they really are. They are so brazen, arrogant and power-drunk they even said it themselves recently, announcing it in clear sight sprawled across their stage: "WE ARE ALL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS" -- said the unusually honest GOP. And don't ever forget it.
Finally got around to Maria Ressa's How To Stand Up To a Dictator and 2 facts early on gave me mirth: 1) Ressa is 1st Filipino to win Nobel (for standing up to a dictator) 2) While born in Phillippines--Ressa was raised & educated in New Jersey As one also raised in Jersey I find this hilarious.
Hey check it out I found a mistake on the front page of the NYT. This graphic claims to circle children in relation to a missile fragment, but the circle in the upper left is clearly a boy painted to the wall as part of the mural
OK, I am calling it: this is an instant American classic. Burn Down Master's House by Clay Cane @claycane.bsky.social
Happy Superb Owl everybody If I'm being honest with people about how I feel about football, it sounds like I'm doing a bit. But I'm not. This is genuinely how I experience it: I don't know who these guys are. But if they have fun playing with their balls? Good for them! Mazel tov! Enjoy your balls!
Just a reminder, folks, that racism runs on bullshit. The damage is real. The violence is real. But the premise--that humanity comes in biological tiers--is a lie. Racism was *INVENTED* to justify slavery. There is only one MF human race and anyone who tells you different is a gaslit fool.
