Everyone has their own sense of when things went completely off the rails, but my mind returns again and again to the founding of Fox News in the late 90s. Naked RW propaganda plopped itself down alongside legitimate journalism and everyone just accepted it. Everything else has followed from that.

woah this is genuinely, utterly WILD
Ant queens of one species produce males of another species, so she can then mate with them and produce hybrid workers!
This is so gloriously weird I can't quite compute it 🤯🧪🐜

What we're running into headlong (societal destruction) and how we maybe able to stop it.
I don’t say this lightly:
We’re nowhere near the bottom.
In fact, we might just barely be approaching the midpoint.
And the path ahead gets darker — by design.
Let me tell you about a book that dissected all of this.
Most people have never heard of it.

Reducing SO2 pollution saves lives!
But it's really important to slash CO2 emissions, too, because "recent aerosol cuts may have contributed ~0.14C of the ~0.5C of warming the world has experienced since 2007."

Can we at least get a mandatory test for PD for politicians/government members and C suite executives out of all of this? The clown show of narcissists on full display all over the world should be a good enough incentive.

🔗 IKEA happily used Verdana on the web, because yay it’s on everyone’s machines. Until they expanded business across Asia and the Middle East, and found the supported languages of Verdana were lacking. This lead to Noto IKEA. Robin Whittleton explains www.robinwhittleton.com/2025/04/23/i...

I suddenly wonder if, should earth's climate remain survivable, thousands of years from now, stories would survive about how a trojan horse became the downfall of the wealthiest and most powerful human empire ever, in a historical blink of an eye. I doubt they'll match the classics, though.

Another summer day in Central Asia with
36.4 in Turkmenistam, 34.9 in Uzbekistan and 33.2 in Kazakhstan.
11th day >30C in 11 april days in Central Asia (and at least 6 or 7 more to come).
This is absolutely MENTAL.
Earliest 30C in history of Siberia probably coming in 2 days !

Working on a research proposal about autism and fairies
If you happen to know of any fae-like creatures from cultures around the world that have autistic features (can’t lie, faces don’t convey emotion, look young, changeling stage at late infancy stage, etc.) I would love to know about them!
