“I’d give my eye-teeth for… uh… an eye-tooth”
Brent Chapman can see again after doctors pulled out one of his teeth, flattened it, drilled a hole in it, placed a lens inside and implanted the tooth in one of his eyes. on.nbcboston.com/mRI06Sh
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

“I’d give my eye-teeth for… uh… an eye-tooth”
This is a good essay. It should be read widely. (Though as someone who often wears kilts, I was momentarily taken aback by @schlesingene.bsky.social 's use of true/false Scotsmen wearing kilts to illustrate his point 😝) ⚓
I wrote this essay in anticipation of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. After this week's news cycle if feels distressingly more salient than when I was drafting it. ⚓
Lift High the Cross - The Living Church
If a theology of the cross leaves the powerful unchallenged, it’s a theology narrated from the perspective of Pilate, not the Nazarene.

@frame.work Howsabout it, huh? Ghosting paying customers isn't exactly cool (or, for that matter, good business).
I’m now two weeks into not having a functional laptop with no sign of having it replaced or refunded by @frame.work . I used to be a pretty big booster of them- fully modular? Less e-waste! I was hoping this would be my forever machine. Instead it has become my biggest computing regret.

I'd never heard of this guy, but I decided to listen to the episode anyway. I'm about halfway through, and I just had my mind BLOWN. I won't spoil it (you'll have to listen for yourself!), but suffice to say this guy is (indirectly) involved in something EVERY YANK KNOWS ABOUT.
I had SO MUCH fun recording with Claire on This Guy Sucked, and explaining why I love & hate Edmund Kean so much! 😂👇
NEW TGS EPISODE: the one and only @gregjenner.bsky.social tells us everything we need to know about the great tragedian Edmund Kean. Weasels and birds of prey are also discussed in great depth for some reason. 🦉

If rich people have to be "incentivized" to contribute to the common good they probably just shouldn't be allowed to have all that money if you ask me.
Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO.
Bottom up incentives work. Dems never innovate. They bitch

Ah. I see we’ve reached the “rewriting living history” part of fascism. thisisfine.jpg
The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.
US to rewrite its past national climate reports
US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

Hooray! My feed for You're Dead to Me has been unbroken! 4 episodes appeared this morning. Now the eternal question: binge straight through them all, or stretch out the enjoyment?
Hat tip to @gregjenner.bsky.social for helping me track down the people who (I assume) managed to un-break the feed.

Religious kitsch time! Fabergee Egg Nativity scene, with St Joseph doing jazz hands and the Theotokos holding him back from annoying the baby Jesus. (Found while purging our closet of junk we haven’t unpacked since moving cross-country 16 years ago.) ⚓️
