Oh hey that Asimov story I read in first grade explains it very well.

A screenshot of text, as follows:

“Honestly,” began Lillian, “you would think they were—”
The heavens opened and the rain came down in giant drops as though some celestial dam had suddenly burst. The top of their car was pounded with a hundred drum sticks, and halfway to their front door the Sakkaros stopped and looked despairingly upward.
Their faces blurred as the rain hit; blurred and shrank and ran together. All three shriveled, collapsing within their clothes, which sank down into three sticky-wet heaps.
And while the Wright’s sat there, transfixed with horror, Lillian found herself unable to stop the completion of her remark: “—made of sugar and afraid they would melt.”

Here's a screenshot of donors to MA House Speaker Mariano. I guess the legislature is voting on some sports betting legislation? Oh hey look: www.wbur.org/news/2026/03...

A list of campaign contributions. Shows a list of about 15 people, all top DraftKings management, all of whom donated $1000 each in the last week of January 2026.

Did you know that in the Baldwin neighborhood there is a (temporary for Halloween?) Little Free Library that only has copies of Dracula and Frankenstein? Crescent St maybe.

A little free library shaped like a coffin. At the top are two figurines of Dracula and Frankenstein. On the bookshelves are multiple books, all of them copies of either Dracula or Frakenstein, and some costume vampire teeth.

In December 2007 I took this photo of an advertising poster, I believe in the Sacramento airport:

A poster showing bubbles rising, and a house is seen behind the largest bubble. The text on the poster is: "It's more than a home, it's the best view in the neighborhood. KimballHillHomes.com"

Nothing says "liberal society" like claiming to protest a war while simultaneously sending your children to commit genocide as part of that war. From www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/w... —

“It’s a success story of an Israeli public that on one hand is sending its children to Gaza, and on the other hand is protesting every week,” he said. “And nobody shot anyone,” he noted pointedly.

“If these protests will succeed, and I think they will,” Mr. Golov added, “nobody will be able to say that Israeli society lost its liberal nature. I think it regained it.”

TIL you can get uncanny valley heebie jeebies from baking images:

What is probably an AI image of pouring eggs into a bowl. The egg white is a uniform yellow, and looks like it has the consistency of thick caramel. A thumb is turning into metal. There is a heavily distorted mixer with not-quite-English text and cup-sized mixing bowl, and mixing implements that are completely wrong.
