What's especially cool about this:
It's a funky cut through a crinoid column. We're seeing the two halves of the column in the top and bottom "teeth," and the right side "tooth" is the back half of the column.
It's a 3D visualization puzzle!
(Also creepy and cursed as all get-out.)

“404 media also obtained two earlier emails smirnoff sent to all ring employees, about how ring could have potentially been used to help find charlie kirk’s killer,” which likely means *before* he was IDed, at the direction of cops & feds, who were looking for…what kind of person that day? i forget.
Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime:

It's incredible how it was revealed that the anti-trans push over the past decade was concocted in no small part by a literal PEDOPHILE CONSPIRACY and the reaction of transphobic lawmakers, journalists, academics has been a shrug and a "well, we gotta
carry out the orders from pedophile island"

Pardoning drug lords but deporting sick little kids straight from the hospital really sums the whole thing up doesn’t it
So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.
mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.
But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

what makes this worse is a lot of them are still taking huge tax benefits from "giving". for instance, Elon Musk puts a ton of money in his foundation which is tax deductible as charity, but then the foundation just....doesn't pay out anything. That's illegal, but no one has enforced it of course

Socially transitioning simply means outwardly presenting as the gender you identify with. If a kid decides they no longer identify with that gender they can simply just stop presenting as that gender. They aren’t locked into shit, this idea is dumb.
"if they socially transition too early we think they can get locked onto a trajectory that may not have been the correct natural trajectory for them"
Direct quote.

Today's feel-good story: a tegu rescued from the snow by a kind person in Providence, RI, has been saved by ET Reptiles & New England Wildlife Center. Usually, pet reptiles die in these circumstances, but frostbite treatment worked. @rickclaypool.bsky.social even visited the tegu + took this photo.
