Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

Marie Antoinette romanticized farming, tending to her perfumed flock. Didn’t make her a farmer.
We romanticize what it means to do manual labor. We romanticize what it means to be ill (of course we will recover without lasting impact —we’re healthy!). We romanticize suffering.

It’s the seventh anniversary of the publication of ‘Everything is awesome: Don’t forget the Lego’ in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, which told how six “paediatric health-care professionals were recruited to swallow a Lego head” and measure how long it took to ~ahem~ pass through them

The thing about America is that it is massive and diverse and absolutely beautiful, and the people here are extremely independent and individualistic, which is both a blessing and a curse. The US used to incentivize creativity/innovation, but now it's collapsing in on itself and we get to watch

We've had about a half dozen papers come out in the last 6 months showing certain planetary systems - AMOC, Greenland Ice Sheet, Antarctic Current, Amazon etc - are at points 30 to 50 yrs ahead of projections and near breaking point. But AI will save humanity.

I had a dream I was gifted/won a young alligator that I think I was meant to have killed & then eaten or had stuffed, but I named it Lyle & demanded that a friend who ghosted me help me find an animal sanctuary.

A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors
As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...

I am increasingly convinced that we can bamboozle Trump into being 5x more socially progressive than the Democrats, just by putting him in proximity to lots of charming progressives.
My conspiracy theory to my friends that Trump is such a mock person, he simply adopts the personality of the person who seems like he holds most power in a room is being proven right.
