Happy #FossilFriday, check out this beautifully preserved crinoid! These animals have inhabited the oceans for 480 million years, and they're relatives of sea urchins and sea stars. This specimen is long fossilized, but looks like it just died and fell into the seabed's embrace. (1/3)

This #FossilFriday meet Bojophlebia - this cool ~309 million year old fossil insect was found in the Czech Republic. The scale bar on the image is 4cm, so we can estimate this animal had a wingspan of over 40cm. What it actually *was* though, has been subject to discussion. When first described in the 1980s, it was originally thought to be an early-branching member of the lineage leading to today's mayflies.

Ugh, opensource corpo bros suck. Use our #privacy focused #p2p program, oh btw you should buy a cloud vps from MATAzon or some corpo in nyc funded by the largest private venture capital firm in the usa. To host larger nodes or to develop. Not even really a suggestion more a demand, its in our readme.md that its necessary. and their user facing gui is programmed in a google made lang Bleh

The young 'uns may not know that Firefox was not something Mozilla planned. It was created in protest by Mozilla engineers as an explicit rejection of Mozilla management's plans. Mozilla only embraced it once it became clear that the public far preferred it to Mozilla's official product.
i think the mimbres proposition about liberalism is that the liberal ideal of freedom eventually asks for freedom from nature, which traditionally just requires slavery to make it so you don't have to deal with it and today requires ecocide, so maybe like, if we want to avoid climate apocalypse then maybe we have to embrace that we are not free from nature, we are beholden to it, and this is good
'How many times have you watched someone say something awful—racist, sexist, whatever—and the person calling it out gets told they’re being rude?
Not the person who said the awful thing, but the person who dared to challenge it (It’s me. I’m that person.) That’s how I know niceness isn’t about morality—it’s about obedience.'
Mh-
Worst part is i cant get a consistent answer out of them whether they are in love with me or not and what relationship they want, and when i try to talk to them about it. They get really upset and either blow up at me or get sad, especially if i tell them this is making me really sad.
Top it all off my bipolar meds are slowly not working as well
Mh-
I feel like im running around super glueing pieces of my psyche back together as they are blowing apart. The way my life is set up rn is not working. I dont really have many other options. Its either stay and try not to think about my feelings and how them not loving me and having to watch them with their romantic partner is killing me every day. Or be homeless again and probably never see them ever again. this is why being gay and overly invested in someone kinda sucks.

Democrats, who were bragging about their draconian anti-immigration bullshit just a few months ago trying to win over racist white voters, are now suspiciously quiet that Trump is operating on those same principles to round people up, invade schools, break up families, and deport and send people to camps in chains. The White House literally put out an "ASMR" video of shackled immigrants being deported by plane. This is where that rhetoric leads.
