House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that before publicly releasing footage of the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, the faces of the mob will be blurred to protect them from the Justice Department.

The Louisiana Republican said during a news conference that he wants to make sure rioters don’t get prosecuted.
"This book provides the first full history of phrenitis. In doing so, it surveys ancient ideas about the interactions between body and soul, both in health and in disease. It also addresses ancient ideas about bodily health, mental soundness and moral 'goodness', and their heritage in contemporary psychiatric ideas."

Of course they are - the Russians bought the GOP lock-stock and barrel back in the Trump days and now the Republicans are doing everything they can to help the Russians whilst tut-tutting loudly about how awful the Russians are!

Great Egret
Here is a great egret (Ardea alba) that I saw among the reeds on the bayou at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana.
"Visit a pond or coastal marsh and look for an all-white bird—slightly smaller than a Great Blue Heron, with black legs and a yellow bill. It may be wading slowly or standing stock-still, peering intently at the water as it searches for fish. If you live outside of the species’ breeding range, you may still see Great Egrets in late summer as they move about widely before heading to their wintering grounds." - allaboutbirds.org

Random objects always suggesting things!
Then I watched #Prometheus , which Netflix suggested was somehow related in some way to Lucy or Scarlett Johansson or something. It didn't make the tiniest particle of sense, but had some fun moments. Is it supposed to be a prequel to Alien(s(es)) or something?
If you are annoyed by people who boost too much (like me 😁 ), you need not mute them! Just go to their profile and choose behind the 3 dots "hide boosts from @xy". This is also the easiest way to get only original posts by a followee.

(Said environments often involving AI and LLMs, argh.)
omg yes.
There are multiple environments where I think I come off as (what?) abrasive, because when someone says something with a confidence that I can't imagine them actually having evidence enough to justify, I tend to (gently, often) wonder just how they know that. Such a jerk I am lol.
Sister Rust, I need you now.
Cause I've got a feeling.
It's you and me again, waiting for the credits to end.
Now and forever.
With something in our hearts, that if we were to stop, would pull us away.
There's nothing we can do, to stop feeling this blue.
Anyway.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.

If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
