Next Disney should announce that they were gonna open an entirely new Star Wars theme park in Florida but because of Ron DeSantis they won't. Imagine having every Star Wars fan on the planet pissed off at you.

Here's an interactive waterway map for the United States! https://txpub.usgs.gov/DSS/streamer/web/

You can click on a lake or river and get the path from it to the nearest major body of water (Great Lake / ocean).

@pl @rysiek @inkscape A friend with muscular dystrophy actually took the position that he wanted to take back the word gimp because one of its original meanings was “fighting spirit.” He certainly had that.

One problem with using Andy Warhol's art to decide copyright law is that his work is uniquely unoriginal.

We are now three years into the shift from office working to hybrid/home-based and the only strategy commercial property developers have is paying for advertorials bleating about how everyone should work in offices rather than idk pivoting their model.

Capitalism is not a driver of innovation, or they'd have fucking innovated.

And whose fault is that?

Taken with an Olympus Stylus Epic Deluxe that I bought for $15 and later resold for a ridiculous sum, on Velvia 50 slide film. #ThrowbackThursday #BelieveInFilm

Actual result: Earth sized exoplanet found orbiting dwarf star, at distance where liquid water could potentially exist on its surface
Admittedly cool speculation: it’s chock full of volcanoes, *and* liquid water could exist on it’s permanent night side.
Chances the “speculation” bit gets dropped in most press coverage: pretty high.

I hiked a section of the woods yesterday that I hadn't been to in years. It's a canyon carved into a higher plateau that only has one low spot for drainage, through a massive jam of boulders. The beavers have mostly dammed that up so the canyon is full of water. The section below the boulders, about 20 feet lower, gets a steady trickle of water and is lush with growth.

As Elizabeth Holmes’s chances of avoiding or delaying her sentence rapidly fade away, I can’t help but feel a bit bemused that her 11 year sentence is for defrauding her investors, not for the bogus medical tests she peddled that might well have resulted in people’s actual deaths.

Curious interactions over the last year of using #rail pass:

- Can I see the relation? (there's no relation)
- We don't honor these. (you do, for 2 years now)
- We don't honor yearly passes. (it's monthly, yearly passes aren't sold for 10 years now)
- We don't honor employee discounts. (this is not a discount pass)
- We don't honor REGIOkarta. (you do those that were sold before Sep 30.)

And the best of all: "Can you wait a minute, please? My colleague wanted to know how a pass looks like."
