My first pseudoscorpion observation was pure luck. Happen to see this wasp and took a shot. It was only later did I see what was hanging on the antenna.

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches
Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

The folklore of the fairy changeling is almost certainly a way people explained autism waaaaaay before there was a word for it. This is why many of us on the spectrum relate so closely to changeling stories. The stories also reflect children who never felt like they belonged in their world.

My school is rolling out AI reading programs. It uses the children’s voices as they read to train the AI.
I asked if parents can opt out of this company using their children’s unpaid voices for their for-profit product. Nobody had an answer.
Push back. Don’t let children give more free data to AI.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.
