![One of the earliest examples of bar jokes is
Sumerian (c. 4500-1900 BC), and it features a dog:
"A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one!" [1] The humor of it is probably related to the Sumer way of life and has been lost, but the words remain.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m5nviebtkhhbur3fsfdznxue/bafkreifwhnhtaschqrreajcfmpvnirmtn7hxcm3yd2mlapg54df5u2xqra@jpeg)

All eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla 🌍 which has been attacked by Israeli drones in international waters. Spain and Italy have sent navy ships to protect their citizens. Other countries should follow suit. Aussies are on board too, cc: DFAT & Albo (when he's done taking selfies w/ scrotus maximus)

Neuroscientists have long believed that our bodies are paralyzed during REM sleep to prevent us from acting out our dreams, and the twitches we make are movements that slip through the cracks—but recent research tells another story.
What Are Dreams For?
Converging lines of research suggest that we might be misunderstanding something we do every night of our lives.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Finally got a chance to check out Pilot Mountain in North Carolina on this day in 2019. Pilot Mountain is near Mount Airy, the hometown of Andy Griffith. Both were mentioned kinda sideways in the Andy Griffith Show as Mt. Pilot and May-*berry*.

This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

‘Views’ are lies
On TikTok, YouTube, X, and everywhere, ‘views’ are lies
You might think a “view” means you watched something. You’d be wrong.
