The Iconic, One-Eyed 'Queen of the Wolves' Dies After Fight With Rival Pack in Yellowstone National Park
A beloved matriarch, 907F lived to be 11 years old, which is much longer than the average life span for gray wolves and a rare feat, even for those in the protected area of Yellowstone

Yeah, this is exactly right - and goes for much of the selling off of our system to plutocrats by both parties.
I heard it expressed as:
"We are slowly coming to realize that much of our rules of governing are a loose set of norms and gentleman's agreements."

More leaked DM's show that Destiny (Steven Bonnell II) is a repeat offender sex criminal with no remorse. Everyone trying to downplay his criminal activity is actively working to defend him. He is going to keep abusing young victims and secretly recording or sharing peoples material without consent

Reflections. Loch Chon on a still sunrise. The wind soon picks up at this loch so still conditions tend to be neither regular or long lasting in my experience. I spent a few minutes frantically moving around the shore until I settled on this composition.

Well, I killed my Facebook account tonight.
They make it really difficult.
None of the online tutorials of the last weeks, nor Meta's own guide, were accurate.
I had to intuit my way to the final deletion.
If you log in again before they get around to deleting it, then you'll have to do it again.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.
The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

My latest for @newscientist.bsky.social is a response to a reader question about how we know that dark matter isn't just dust! It's a nice thing to take a break with, given everything else happening in our corner of the universe.

Bluesky is built on an open source protocol that can be moved to another server once they start federation capabilities. Meaning baddies can buy the company but you could move your account somewhere else.
If we can do that for YouTube TikTok etc then a few evil nerds wouldn't control our brains

Might be worth making a distinct declaration of such a thing.
This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics
