this is a deeply unsettling fact to have learned at 1am
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

this is the correct framing
Republicans vote overwhelmingly to pretend they want the Epstein Files released. www.axios.com/2025/11/18/h...
House votes to force DOJ release of Jeffrey Epstein files
While the vote marks an important step in backers' crusade to get the files released, significant barriers remain.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

The funny thing here is that usually there are people who really want to leave because of an election, but lack the means. In this case, these people have the means! They could go! They aren’t stuck!

Universal Basic Income is not just a good idea, it's an inevitability. As machines come to perform more and more labor, we need to come to terms with the idea that a person is entitled not to a cut of their personal productivity, but to their portion of the energy that freely falls from the Sun.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!
