The housing crisis and climate crisis come together in this bleak letter in the Woodland Trust magazine:

This is Tuq. He is a seal harbor that was recently rescued and brought to the Alaska SeaLife Center for care & healing. The Seward Fire Dept. donated a fire hose to the ASLC so it could be used in their enrichment program for Marine animals. Tuq is a real beauty! #Alaska #AlaskaMarineLife #RescuedMarineLife #AlaskaSeaLifeCenter

Here the doggo goes.

The W3C going for brutal honesty here I see

Just think of all the confusing family conversations we'd miss out on without daylight savings? We spent a good ten minutes just talking about the dog’s pending reaction last night.

136,000 books from the 18th Century.

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX THOUSAND OF THEM.

BBC: "Everyone got duped by Sam Bankman-Fried's big gamble"

No, lots of us called crypto out from the very start. I was reading accurate critiques of bitcoin in 2012.

Journalists and financiers and politicians got duped or didn't care about the truth when there was money to be made.

Now you're trying to pretend nobody warned you? Get fucked.
