Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

[ ] The media convinced me that feminism was solved in the 1980s
[ ] I never actually read their work
[ ] I miss not thinking about gender

Looks like another anti women postcard that unintentionally exposed the boys by showing that they feared women treating them the way they treated women.
TIL that the demise of the North American passenger pigeon - a culinary staple - was met by the 20th century rise of the domesticated 🐔. (Later, the episode goes into new food tech, in broad strokes.) www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-23-ideas/clip/16202089-what-favourite-food-became-extinct
I just learned about the One Health concept this week. March 11th, “The Current,” CBC Radio One: segment titled “Your Cat’s DNA Could Help Treat Human Cancer.” www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
75”+ of snow predicted in our local mountains through Sunday, with 80mph ridge top winds this morning...then a warmup. Avalanche conditions will remain interesting!
Yes, this is an excellent piece of investigation, narration, and accountability, by Mike Baker and Steven Rich in @nytimes.com Very much worth going back to read.
1. They're asking the wrong q., imo. I‘d answer every question (of the full survey) "not an issue of 'morality.'" Humans tend to human; outcomes are individual & situational.
2. Judging fellow countrywo/men: LOOK at that difference between 🇺🇲 and both 🇲🇽 and, wow, 🇨🇦. Maple Magic-even with Polievre.
Join me in shopping in my own closet before hitting the thrift store. The longer it’s been, the more entertaining it gets.

She hadn't done her homework. Few topics are off-limits in an 🇮🇪 pub, and conversation is a big reason to spend time there.
In my ignorance, I've thought of SC as uber-red. Thank you for dispelling that!

Thinking about a new pedagogy of all in-class writing to combat AI, and realized we should do it like art classes do, hire a nude dude to sit on the conference table and everyone writes a flash piece about him in bluebooks
Might be a latitude thing. Overall, when it comes to morning light exposure, Northerners get shnuggered from mid-Oct. till the return to Standard Time in early Nov., and again from now until mid-April. Except those who live far enough north that there's no escaping morning darkness Oct.- March.
A corollary to an earlier question. Are there immune system development risks for the (rare) homeschooled rural U.S. kid who isn't exposed to a parade of respiratory (and other) viruses as a result of school attendance? Can it be OK for a 7-year-old's future if she seldom catches colds?
2026's 🇺🇲 mano-🤡-sphere obsessions get stoked in multiple Web-tv-radio pass-throughs.
Remember: 1993-1994 broadcasts of hate-propaganda over one Rwandan radio station incited Hutus to murder 800,000 fellow Rwandans. #MTPol

Ahead of International Women’s Day: riveting oral history from some of the Tehran women whose revolution got hijacked - and their crucial place in official Iranian history erased - beginning in March 1979.

😱 Oh, no. May their replacements grow quickly.
Down-🧵: "When there's a lower volume of big dumb photos and videos of folks like Noem and Bovino preening like cartoon Nazis, public attention does wane, but people still get disappeared, targeted, etc..."
(And a random, periodic apology for 🇺🇲-centricity in my posting...)
It always comes down to “…pastor Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist who co-founded the ID-based Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches…does not believe women should hold leadership positions in the military or be able to fill high-profile combat roles.” #ID www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

7% RH at 69F: wo. Up north, it takes another 30F to get that dry.

Climate change coverage fell 14% globally in 2025, while the world endured record heat, raging wildfires, and devastating floods.
The crisis intensified. The headlines didn’t.
Less coverage = less urgency.

There was a similar tragedy in Texas last summer that killed a 12-year-old girl. More shenanigans involving missing dive computers and clueless aspects of the investigation. (Same lawyer as in Linnea Mills’s case.) divemagazine.com/scuba-diving...
