I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

i hate it when people give out reckless and irresponsible firearms advice online. you don't want to use anything less than .300wm when shooting appliances inside your home.
My personal recommendation on a response if your washer, refrigerator, or thermostat asks for your WiFi password or wants you to download an app. Use a 9mm or larger because you don't want them to suffer when you put them down.
Correction... when the thermostat died, the HVAC neighbor gave me an EcoBee smart thermostat. When it asked for the wifi password...

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

All brought to you by the same group that in a previous episode staged a riot inside the national capital to disrupt and prevent the legal transfer of power to their political rivals after losing an election
I know it’s easy to get inured to this stuff but imagine a podcast ep where @mikeduncan.bsky.social is telling you about this happening in some other country at the same time that a crisis in parliament has shut down the national budget.
Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

This weird faux leftist pro-AI shit is designed to work in spaces and areas where the tech fascists already completely control the discourse like the Bay, it's for people who are way further down the tech fascist radicalization path than we are so when we get

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
ICE is illegally raiding apartments in minority neighborhoods and Trump is trying to deploy the national guard to suppress dissent and people are really out here wasting their time arguing that LLM bigotry is a thing ??? please wake up and care about literally anything that matters

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

H.E. President Boakai of Liberia, on ocean protection at #UNGA:

"Deep-sea mining threatens the ocean floor before we even understand what lives there"

Africa is leading the way on protecting the ocean. Now the world must follow
The high sea waters off West Africa may seem remote to people reading this in London or New York. But these waters can impact the very weather patterns that determine whether crops grow in British fields or storms crash into the eastern seaboard of the U.S. They provide oxygen for every breath we take.

Difficult choice, but my vote goes to #cuprosklodowskite because:

1. It is a proper Lick-And-Die mineral.
2. Together with Joliotite, it is part of unique (as far as I know) set of minerals named after mother and daughter.

P.S. I was a bit disappointed that #ikaite was not named after ika = squid
