I love this!

Oh my! No, I don’t believe we experienced that one. But that’s a juicy story I wanna hear more about.

Apparently a lot of you are into threads. If you'd like to explore the Bayeux Tapestry from your screen, the British Museum online gallery/tour allows you to zoom in fantastically close: www.britishmuseum.org/bayeux-tapes...

geotripper.blogspot.com/2026/10/why-did-road-cross-san-andreas-fault-24.html Time for an update on the San Andreas where it crosses Hiway 25 near Pinnacles NP. Many geologic processes are slow, but given time they become more visible. Here's 24 yrs of change on the San Andreas! #SanAndreasFault

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

Note the right lateral offset of the yellow centerline of you look across the fault. (Traffic spotters had my back for this quick snap).

A road through the central coast of California, as viewed from the central line of the highway, looking off into the distance before the road turns. There’s mountains in the background and a few oak trees on the side of the road, but the important feature is at the bottom of the photo where there’s a rumble piece of asphalt that goes across the entire highway. That is the San Andreas fault and if you look across the rumble area, you can easily see the yellow center line has been offset to the right by a couple inches. this offset has happened within the last 10 years or so as they frequently repave this section.

I've been toying around a lot with the idea of libidinal rationality, which is when people act not according to strict rationality of maximising profit or returns or sustainability, but toward what provides them with libidinal satisfaction, which trumps everything else

ABC News' lawyer told a judge the network is tempering its election coverage because of government threats. The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is real...and expanding.

"ADHD label risks lifelong harm to children." If you don't label the disorder, then what we will be labelled instead is "Lazy." "Underachiever." "Doesn't live up to their potential." "Bad student." Those labels come with pain, shame, and abuse. The ADHD label comes with a chance for support.

Holy shit

FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest

This quote is 🔥

Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com

www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Stig Børsen Hansen, a founding member who was one of two reviewers who presented the study to the Danish committee, resigned from the group in protest on Friday, citing major ethical issues with the study.

“You are now enrolling newborns in a lottery to test a hypothesis,” Hansen said. The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage. “They contract hepatitis B in the context of being part of a research project,” Hansen said, which made their infection happen, in effect, “by design”.

Three other members of the committee have also resigned in protest.

I’ve seen a few folks comment that “Guinea-Bissau is a low income country and cannot afford the hep B vaccine birth dose, so why is this study unethical?” It’s a good question. Let me have a go at answering it. In a nutshell, researchers cannot ethically exploit poverty & scarcity to do a trial

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.
