Gov. Abbott said the state could take steps to shut down the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The group said the declaration had no basis in fact or law.

I got so cold in my office I had to come outside and find a sliver of setting sun to stand in for a minute. I was falling asleep. 💤

Once a month I wake up to a story like "Half the world doesn't work because of the NetBastard outage" I didn't even know about net bastard

I had to shift some shelving and books in my office bc part of our archives lives in here with me and I think that's my workout for the day. I hate the Sunday/late night rotations. Fucks with my routine.

Wow. Excellent writeup on the white-tailed deer's fascinating digestive tract, and a solid scientific basis for why you shouldn't feed them - a carb-rich pile of corn can be so disruptive to their systems in the winter that it can actually kill a deer within 72 hours.
It's that time of year! The time when deer guts start to undergo a magical transformation!
(Also the time of year many well-intentioned people accidentally mess the whole thing up, leading to dead deer!)

I jokingly asked why Wendy Carlos never did a rendition of Peter and the Wolf, but it turns out she DID and she did it with WEIRD AL.

immediately I think of the people trying to do sous vide in the dishwasher 😭
USDA once again making me ask questions I never considered, such as "why would you thaw a turkey in the dishwasher"
I feel like @cpsc.gov probably has an image for this

ABA to review law school standards, may drop diversity rule amid pressure
The American Bar Association will undertake a sweeping review of its standards for law schools as states weigh dropping the organization as an accreditor and critics blame its regulations for driving up student costs.
