Damn, it's crazy how the demographic that they don't rely on because they're so tiny who totally doesn't show up to vote for them anyway is the reason they lost. Maybe if they go even further right next election it will work!

It wasn’t obvious, plenty of people simply say that the left doesn’t vote despite the fact they’re some of the most engaged voters out there.

You would think that courting the most dedicated voting demographic on your side of the aisle would be a positive if they weren’t already mostly voting for you anyway, but I’m not the kind of brilliant political machine that can lose elections to Trump twice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there data about the 2024 election showing this available already? Because the 2020 data doesn’t support that.

Belly rub hack: if your cat is being annoying and trying to get at something they’re not supposed to, it’s really easy to get away with grabbing and rubbing/jiggling their primordial pouch. The curiosity/naughtiness usually outweighs the flee/attack desire for much longer.

Not the exact same as a belly rub on their back of course, but I’VE GOT YOUR BELLY! I’VE GOT YOUR BELLY!!

If your organic produce is spoiling quicker it’s probably because it’s not being grown locally and has spent more time in transit than the regular produce; spraying pesticides or using synthetic fertilizer doesn’t really add any preservative properties.

Organic or regular produce from the farmer’s market will beat anything in a supermarket. Alas, it’s a fucking pain in the ass to get to one here and it’s not the cheapest.

That it’s okay to stop what I’m doing and take care of myself even if everyone else is doing fine. And that running yourself into the ground because you’re “supposed to” is going to fuck you up in the long run.

That last bit especially applies to running, my knee clicks an unreasonable amount now.

That’s not necessarily going to happen to Windows 10 the day support ends, but do you really want to gamble on when it will?

I believe it just because Simpsons has always done it first, but I claim ignorance because I wasn’t allowed to watch The Simpsons as a kid!

Ripping out 60 trees that weigh 30 lbs each in a night? There’s no way this was just some drunk hooligans or something. This was either over money or politics.

This only has a chance of passing because there are 50+ Democrats on board with it. And it’s not just Democrats from red states and red areas.

Get on my level and have anxiety about having anxiety about your anxiety meds.

(They have been so helpful fr, but nothing’s a magic bullet lol)

Isn't this just prose formatted in a weird way?

When you get down to it, isn't that all poetry really is? But really, I think this would technically fall under 'free verse' (poetry with no rules).

Ocean Alliance began working with drones in 2013. Within the last few years, they began collecting exhaled breath condensation, also known as "whale snot."

The whale snot is a biological jackpot with DNA, microbiomes, and hormones. This data was nearly impossible to collect from a live whale. 

"I've seen more unique behaviors from a drone in the last five years than I've seen in the previous 25," Kerr said.

They’re apparently also using the drones to tag them for GPS tracking, really cool use for them.

 

Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

Even if you don’t have your own bike, there are lots of Metro bikes to rent near the route for $1.75/30 minutes. You can find a map of bike stations here.

 

The LA LGBT Center has released a proposition voting guide with their recommendations.

 

You can get involved by using the iNaturalist app and joining the challenge.

The primary objective of this is to both get people more engaged and aware of their local wildlife, and to eliminate white areas with no observations on the iNaturalist observation heat map. This will help researchers learn more about urban ecosystems.
