TIL: that "whale" as a verb meaning "to beat the hell out of someone" (or, as the OED has it, "to beat, flog, thrash") dates back to at least 1790.

I would never have guessed it was that old, nor that it had enough of a lineage to appear in the OED.

We can all agree we DON’T want engineers and doctors not learning their stuff and relying on biased computing instead, yeah? 😭
"Millions of students cant do their homework because ChatGPT is offline" is a horrifying headline to see because if we dont fix this shit ASAP we're going to have an entire fucking generation that has no actual educations.
Engineers and Doctors who have to pull up ChatGPT to do even the basic shit.

The best cure for post World Fantasy blues is to book my ticket for @easterconuk.bsky.social!

With some apology to Robert Frost, when two roads diverge in a wood, statistically, there are a lot of people who will go either way. We're weird like that.

I have a thread here that explains how deer, not city planners, are responsible for the path of New York City's Broadway.
The Lenape people used an island they called ''Manahatta" as a shared hunting ground. Footpaths of game & hunters around wetlands and marshes followed a high ridge near the central part of the island called the Wickquasgeck Trail.

The Dutch purchased the island 1624 (from the wrong Lenape, btw)...

"Damn right," he behemothed hoarsely.

The rock structure in the grotto is also constructed, made to resemble basaltic formation found across this region of Germany.

A lovely bit of artistic construction that delights the senses.

On the other hand, if it's a portal to another, better world: I want to go to there.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
