one of the most savage tweets I ever saw was by the former president of estonia on pretty much this exact theme, just a bit early
![Quoted tweet from MFA Russia, 25 May 2021:
[Russian flag emoji] [globe emoji] President #Putin sends greetings to African Heads of State and Government on #AfricaDay.
[word bubble emoji] #Putin: Please accept my heartfelt greet...
[photo of Putin and several African leaders, wearing suits; some are waving. It's captioned:]
#AfricaDay "Accept my heartfelt greetings on the occasion of Africa Day that has become a symbol of the victory of your continent's nations over colonialism, as well as their striving for independence, peace, and prosperity." --Vladimir Putin, President of Russia
Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the account doing the quoting:
You never congratulate 15 countries on your border for their victory over colonialism.

Almost, but not entirely, *unlike* Sprott's coupled quadratic recurrence relations, which also didn't used to move, make noises, and weren't green. The horrid thing's practically laughing at us.

I look forward to pay-day the way Prometheus looked forward to his liver growing back, but at least I know that salvation is coming. Can we lift the obsidian slab off Juno long enough for her to breathe?

I know the courts told the GC wing-nuts to Sod Off, and so did the properly-run consultation.
I know a sodding poll in the Metro is nothing in the scheme of things.
I also don't want the wing-nuts to save a crumb of comfort or morale.

This is really freaking cool. While the data makes you want to throw a desk chair, the level of documentation we have for how this happened gives me a tiny bit of comfort that if we ever survive this, someone will at least be able to tell the story of how we got here… eventually.
I've been too spoon-less to keep up with all the plate-spinning required to keep all these scrapers going. Ugh.

I’ve watched this meticulously researched project grow for a while now and it is by far the most comprehensive data I’ve ever seen on the subject of shifting language, sex and gender. If you’ve never seen @lizsaila.bsky.social’s sex and gender definition project: do it now. it will blow your mind.
See also frequency of such terms appearing in legislation from 2009-present.
Note uptick in trans exclusionary sex definition language after bathroom bills in 2015, then major uptick with sports and medical bans in 2020.

You can find these on YouTube. 70s Sesame is 🐐, just absolutely wild experimental stuff. “Hey boss, what if Phil Glass did some animated music videos for us?” “Sounds good”
There are episodes of Sesame Street from the 70s and 80s that are paced like the Deer Hunter. 12 minutes of a camera pointed at a fire hydrant while children play in the water. Insane.

Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.
Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.
Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
