And don’t get me wrong, I have a shit ton of gripes about The Guardian as a trans person, but rating its factual reporting as “mixed” while the NYT is “high” is either incompetence or an agenda. I think they bank on Americans not being familiar with what international papers are reputable.

If you’re in LA and feeling understandably stressed about the election, this is probably worth attending.

Didn’t it get removed after people voted to kill it? I haven’t seen it lately.

AFAIK the tech union has only asked that people not play the NYT games (like Wordle) or use the recipes section, and that news coverage wasn’t considered behind the picket line. I’m avoiding the NYT anyway, but unless they’ve changed their stance in the past day it’s not crossing a picket line.

Well, the ones that don’t get involved specifically to try to prevent “certain demographics” from voting. Looking at you, Riverside

Do you want them to not make any predictions until voting is over or what?

Disagree, as a society we should embrace rewarding good behavior with stickers. You don’t have to wear it or take it if you don’t want it.

I don’t know if this is true of all species in the family, but the North American tyrant flycatchers are absolutely named that because they’re bossy little shits and very territorial, they won’t hesitate to attack and terrorize larger birds. They’re the chihuahuas of birds.

Huntington Beach, CA. So, so many public meltdowns in the Karen/Kevin sense get uploaded to the internet from there. Lots of drunk people and road ragers.

In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.

Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!
