Do you think they recognize you? It's gotta be like getting photographed by Steve McCurry or something.

Was surprised to find a new-to-me jack jumper species, Myrmecia fulvipes, in a small park I’ve been visiting for 20 years. -

Are there still people who think dowsing works?I don't know what I expected.
Nonsense never dies I guess.
IDK why dowsing in particular makes me angry. I will listen to someone tell me about how they saw bigfoot with far more patience. (Won't believe it, but I'll be nice about it. )

Are there still people who think dowsing works?Are there still people who think dowsing works? It used to be rampant in the UK and US... and lingered on for longer than you'd think (there are two Time Team episodes where they gently debunk it, rather than either ignore or body slam it as I'd expect.)
But I also know it was big in the US.
Are people still creeping around claiming they can find things with bendy sticks?

my parents got us a Lego tuxedo cat to build over Christmas.There is some lesson about LLMs in the fact that my cat didn't care about the plastic cat until I *treated* it like it was a cat.
Then she wanted to get involved.

Just re-did my white stripe dye job.It helps that I have a very faint natural white stripe and a few gray hairs around. But I want the full stripe.

It is NOT easy to dye black hair gray. I have to bleach it three times then do color correction. But it lasts for 6 weeks so worth it.

These days, when someone makes a good point about any of our current disasters, I just wait for them to drop the other shoe.Gambling is destroying The Family and also why fast food is expensive.

@Ambulocetus @futurebird people here are far more interesting than people on fb."I can't use it anymore, identity theft."
Never had anyone push back on this one.

#ArthurCClarke 's prose could most charitably be described as unassuming, and his attempts to write human characters and politics are not very convincing, and yet this story of first contact encountering a massive alien spacecraft still, somehow, reall...@superflippy @mycotropic @WhiteCatTamer @RanaldClouston @rk @bookstodon
Alien Clay has the most substance of his books and I was very impressed.
But don't assume he's always so serious. Many of his books are fun.

I like most of the Adrian Tchaikovsky series, but I'm not certain what to recommended. Would you like more of a romp (he writes space pirates in a way) or something with a bit more meaning and depth?
What do the other people who read #AdrianTchaikovsky think?

You see this is why I like an Adrian Tchaikovsky book. He has a thing for mean old highly intelligent somewhat terrifying women.
A Thing.

my parents got us a Lego tuxedo cat to build over Christmas.She was fine with it … until I petted it. *That* made her mad (tail puffed up ... ) so I stopped because she has enough drama in her life without simple humans making it worse.

I'm worried about the Democrats.To be clear I, personally would prefer immensely that they would win. Their inability to keep power has material real impacts on my life and the lives of people I care about. But, that isn't as true or as obvious to many people.
So, unless there is a tone shift what we have seen will only get worse.

I'm worried about the Democrats.There are many powerful interest groups in US politics. Democrats try to stay on good terms with all of them.
This makes it very hard to trust Democrats.
This is why people won't show up and vote even as the Republicans make this worse.
Pick a few somewhat powerful enemies. For example? The oil people and bosses (anyone who wants wages low and workplaces dangerous.)
Don't tell me you are "partnering with local business leaders" Disgusting.

I'm worried about the Democrats.I'm worried about the Democrats. I'm hearing some of them saying how delighted they are that everyone "even independents" hates Trump and they think "this means we win, right?"
WRONG.
Have ya'll learned nothing? You do not get to win just because Republicans are terrible.Democrats need to pick some *powerful* enemies. You can't be friends with everyone and win. Trump understood this: picked liberal academia as his enemy.
