Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

@recdiffs.bsky.social they're blaming the dog again!
A man in Pennsylvania had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed. Officers were informed that “a dog had jumped up onto the bed, causing the shotgun to go off, which openly struck the male.”
Dog Accidentally Shoots and Injures a Pennsylvania Man, Police Say
The man had been cleaning a shotgun and placed it on the bed shortly before it was fired. He received treatment at an area hospital.

It’s telling that this is about an isolated thinking being, not in relationship, not loving. It’s a counterfeit of the promise of the fruit in Genesis: you will be as God, but in isolation.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social I finally got Tom Parker's Rules of Thumb. I enjoyed it for a few minutes before my middle-schoolers stole it and read it cover-to-cover. Fun book! Thanks for the recommendation.
And now I know how to estimate the age of a lobster (multiply weight in pounds by seven)

As a Christian, I feel I am being persecuted for my beliefs. (I believe it’s a sin to worship a pedophile as your god king and force everyone else to do the same through intimidation and deliberately mendacious propaganda.)

NEW: Colorado Gov. Polis executive order on COVID vaccines. It effectively grants a prescription to whoever wants the vaccine, allowing them to get vaccinated without a doctor visit.
State-regulated health plans would be required to cover the cost. Some employer health plans may not have to.

The tariffs aren’t “reciprocal."
There isn’t a tariff “pause”—we have a baseline tariff w/most trading partners plus a ginormous tariff for China.
Those weren’t “deportations” to El Salvador. They were renditions.
News outlets should say what is happening, not parrot White House's framing.

Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen!

The way Vance described it, the relationship is the ONLY thing that matters, in terms of priority. I can safely ignore strangers in favor of those inside my circles of family, community, nation, because strangers matter less. As Pope Francis says, this ignores the Gospel.
