I feel like he gets overlooked because Avery Brooks retired, but Sisko is probably the Starfleet captain I'd most want to work for. Pic unrelated

Genuinely upsetting how distantly related African and Asian elephants are to one another. Like, Asian elephants are more close to mammoths than to the other elephants that are still here

reminder that caldwell’s most recent book argues that the civil rights act of 1964 was something akin to a constitutional abomination that produced a world of white subordination
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.
Why are these people such freaks?

Why do people keep depicting cyclops with a nose under the eye? the olfactory nerves would have to go all the way down and round and up behind the eyeball and get all caught up with the optic nerves. If they had evolved the nostrils would surely be more on the cheeks. Welcome to my TED talk.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

My coworker has been unknowingly saving his Harry Potter fan fiction to a document on a shared drive. It's well written & our weekly highlight, as it includes a porn mag called the 'Hogwarts Sex Press', a magical AIDS epidemic, and a very profane Ron Weasley. I'm not reporting it

Top/bottom is not a personality trait, a power dynamic, etc. Fan fic writers PLEASE I beg you, stop thinking gay sex positions are hogwarts houses. Nobody seems like a top or bottom in real life. It means nothing.

Was once in an elevator with Gillian Anderson. She looked like she had the flu at the time. I'm a massive X-Files fan, but I managed to keep my cool. I just politely told her that I love her work, then she shook my hand. A day later I got the flu. Thanks Gillian, best flu ever.

Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

‘the root of porn consumption’ is just horniness in the vast majority of cases lol

Two BYU alums have created an anti-porn app that — unlike other software — doesn't filter out adult images or website, but it does connect users to helpful services and support that attack the root of porn consumption.
The market for porn is growing, but a new app from BYU alums targets the root of the obsession
