What a spectacular redemption at the halftime!
We’ve been told for centuries that happiness can only exist on the other side of the velvet rope; Bad Bunny managed to uplift and celebrate humanity, hopes and joys of ordinary poor people with so much taste and so much class👏
Bravo! No notes

Nothing in the book is unexpected, but the first person delivery is absolutely devastating. Maybe just because I’m a woman

Despite the rain had the absolute privilege of following a barn owl as it hunted along the riverside meadow this morning. These kind of encounters really keep me from tipping into despair at the state of the world. Go outside everyone, despite our fuckwittery the world is still a beautiful place 💚

Hey everyone! Just finishing an incredible expedition in Antarctica sailing with the beautiful red sails.
We had incredible weather conditions considering Antarctica standards. Fantastic trip!
Been quiet here but back at it now 🙂.
Hope you’re all doing well!

Among human experiences the most precious are intimate, whispered, subtle

Power is the most intense, intoxicating, and accessible emotion could be experienced two ways:
destroy something/someone
give away/set free

It’s a shame so few people are aware of the second path

Medieval history has been my escape to curb anxiety for a while. After all, if it happened 6-7 hundred years ago, there is nothing I can do about it
Roman (obviously), recent history (especially American), even biology send my mind into a tailspin
Soooo, I recently started watching geology videos 😀

The ceremony will feature light roadkill hors d’oeuvres, goblets of beef tallow, and a sewage plunge, and will include a memorial tribute to the parasitic worm that perished after eating a portion of his brain, but whose influence continues to be deeply felt.

Cute way to make a very serious point
if you want a long read that involves udders, a hot air balloon, and some extremely dubious data on egg prices, the story I’ve been working on for the last few months where I tried to single-handedly take on every government function myself is now online! www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Can someone tell me how this is sane, legal or necessary? Just for fun of wasting water and electricity?
Kids in school were warned not to use Wikipedia as a source. Though it is an excellent starter page
Now Google AI just straight lifts text of the Wikipedia page and present as original?

I do love a carnyx. Imagine being a regular Iron Age guy and hearing this in the distance like the voice of God.
