One time I got my Nana a set of camellia bath oils and suds from Marks and Spencer along with those addictive lemon sugar cookies and I swear the bath set was the prettiest packaging and it smelled like heaven. IDK why so many of my favourite memories revolve around old soaps, though 🤓

Indonesia temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot on Saturday due to the risk of AI-generated pornographic content, becoming the first country to deny access to the AI tool.

What does l-theanine sound like? This, probably.
Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

What's even worse is that Canada doesn't have a version of NAGPRA (Native American Graves Repatriation Act) and we desperately need one, along with trained project archaeologists not just working with but from the Indigenous community.

All sounds familiar
Public or media discussions often arise when delays in construction result from archaeological assessments or Indigenous opposition. Yet, the vast majority of developments proceed without issue.
Canada has the same issues as we had/have

Canada has the same issues as we had/have
Canada has too few professional archeologists, and that has economic consequences
Protecting heritage in Canada requires training more archeologists and equipping them with the tools and education to do so.

I don't expect Fediscience to get slammed, a lot of the science community from Twitter migrated ages ago but then I could be wrong and find we get innundated with random people looking for instances (we get a fair bit of that already). We'll see.

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

Please note the clownshit will be because they were forced off Twitter, not because users are in the UK. I figure if you are still willingly on Twitter after the last 2 years, it's because you like what is going on over there and will likely try to replicate it here.
cc: Bluesky if it happens. Expect a tsunami of clownshit. Block like your mental health depends on it.
