SEASON'S GREASONS
Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future (1990) is a speculative book written by Scottish geologist Dougal Dixon and illustrated by Philip Hood. The scene depicts a future evolutionary descendant of man a "tundra dweller" attacked by a different descendants species of man in a wintery setting. I'm the distance more large assed members of the tundra dwellers ignore the violent scene. SEASONS GREASONS ONE AND ALL

@macarthurboyd about a month ago finding out a friend is really into taylor swift is like finding out they’re christian: you’re glad they've got something that gets them through the day, but sadly they are probably being financially and spiritually abused by one of the richest organisations in the world

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

imagine your partner of 55 years saying he can't tell the difference between you and your clanker imposter
Hamel shared a demo of the AI at a conference earlier this year. To Hamel, the project is "perfect." "It was Suzanne. And I asked her a few questions and she answered them, and it blew me and everybody else away," he says. "When you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne, you can't tell the difference. It's amazing. And I mean, I've been with Suzanne for 55 years, so I know what her face looks like, and when I just look at the two of them side by side, I really can't tell which one is the real and which one is the AI."

I have become more sympathetic to the idea that saying you can’t hold Trump voters morally culpable for Trump regime actions is patronizing. It partakes of an old and to my mind destructive left wing habit: to think of conservative white voters as not quite adults.

I dont really care about the rest of this but he's 2 years shy of being old enough to be president. Decades of being ruled by a gerontocracy means we've started seeing full on adults as children

Climate change is expanding mosquito habitat in Hawaiʻi, threatening endangered birds with avian malaria.

So Hawaiʻi is releasing male mosquitoes with a strain of Wolbachia bacteria that make them incompatible with the females so their eggs don’t hatch. 🪶🧪
Scientists are dropping live mosquitoes out of drones in Hawaii. Here’s why.
The wild reason why bird advocates are releasing these reviled insects from the sky.

Positive sign for the culture that we are moving away from a 2010s conception of vampires (aren’t they troubled, sexy, and alluring) and returning to a 00s-90s conception of vampires (let’s kill those goddamn bloodsuckers)

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/)

File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."
Two photos. In the first, deep in a conifer forest a man in winter clothes holds a reindeer and sprays something from an aerosol can on the antlers. The second photo is of a small town street in the dead of night. Little shops and dim street lights. A deer stands in the middle of the road. It's barely visible, just a feint silhouette. But, its eyes and antlers glow like something ancient and supernatural.

As long as we’re doing French Revolution takes, let’s all remember that Mark Twain’s is undefeated:
Screenshot of text: “66 THERE were two "Reigns of Terror," if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the "horrors" of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror-that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves. —Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court”
