I’m not on the internet enough to keep up with… anything. Can someone explain to me why people are mad at Pedro Pascal for reading Dostoevsky?

It turns out you can't threaten to decimate the history and heritage of an entire region of the UK without serious opposition from the public. Please lend us your voice - History and Heritage have been a staple of Bangor for a century and a half, and is in danger of being destroyed.
More than 1,000 people are already backing efforts to reverse the proposal

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Adding, NaNoWriMo: dumping hella responsibilities on unpaid, longterm volunteers, giving them no support (but free stickers!), and then being shocked when those volunteers quit.
NaNoWriMo: allows a groomer to remain on the staff until public backlash
NaNo: barely makes changes to prevent future groomer or admit their faults
Still NaNo: Promotes AI despite more public backlash
NaNo: collapses and closes down, blames users of their free site for using it for free.

A reminder: posting is not activism and not all activism should be posted. ESPECIALLY when the US gov’t has been targeting people based on their social media (which they’ve always done but have gotten much more visible about it).
Anyway, don’t be this guy. Literally nobody likes this guy.

This morning I made the grave mistake of complaining about snowfall in Reykjavík, and not about all the Bad Things that are going on in the world.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to everyone affected. I will be taking the next few months to reflect on how best to move forward.

I love this time of year and this time of day, with the local murder roosting nearby. The sky is black with crows waking and sharing their plans for the day. It’s a raucous event. The geese have to shout to be heard over them. Meanwhile the Great Horned owls have gone back to bed. #birdnerd

The CDC's MMWR is out, but it's still missing bird flu studies, including one about dairy workers spreading the bird flu to their pet cats, and another about a risk of infectious among vets who work with cattle.
