@rjay @PragmaticAndy A profoundly important lesson that’s easy to forget in all sorts of contexts:

Ask people what they need, don’t give them what you think they should have.

Anyone can walk into Get Your Drugs Tested at 880 E. Hastings St., hand over a sample of their drugs and get informed on what’s in their substances — sometimes in as little as 10 minutes.

B.C. needs more of these stations, says an advocate. Here’s why.

In a lot of ways, Facebook has a classic IBM problem

1. Won big early, and accumulated a war chest that let them absorb hits instead of adapting
2. Facilitated genocide

Drogie, drodzy, jest prośba ❤️

Pewnie wiecie o projekcie generatora napisów i transkrypcji z podkastów i wideosków? NapGenPL?
Robi go fundacja @ftdl czyli ci, co prowadzą m. in. #PolSocial.

Oprócz oczywistego wykorzystania napisów i tekstów podkastów przez osoby niewidome i niedowidzące, jest też możliwość zbudowania przeszukiwalnego indeksu podkastów i filmów po wypowiadanych słowach.
Nie tylko po tytułach i opisach.

Ale do tego potrzeba trochę sprzętu dokupić, a fundacja ma ograniczony budżet.

Więc jeśli możecie, to wrzućcie tego linka w swoje sociale.

W szczytnym celu nawet w te big sociale 😉

Z góry dziękuję ❤️

A osoby influencerskie proszę o podbicie 🚀

@rephlex00 This is my standard cistern snacking setup.

Inspired by Ricki’s enlightening threads on the human condition I’ve decided to try my hand at thought provoking discourse.

What kind of snacks do you keep on the cistern of your toilet?

For me, it’s mostly spicy pickles and dipping sauces.

This is a particularly funny, subtle bit of cyberactivism in opposition to a hard-right takeover of a rural school district west of Colorado Springs.

Woodland Park is a model for how reactionaries can sabotage a #SchoolBoard and a cautionary tale.

Someone has linked Google Maps searches for "Woodland Park School District RE-2" (the district's official name in state records) to a photograph showing a burned out forest.

Brilliant! And a completely valid description of the way that board has decimated their public education system.

We must never let this happen #BVSD.

Pierwsza chłodna jesienna noc. Wysiadłem z pociągu w podkrakowskiej wsi, a w powietrzu czuć zapachy jesiennego poranka: rosę, leżące liście, rozkopaną po zbiorach ziemię, paloną oponę Firestone 185/60 R15 podbitą aromatem sofy "bolero" z salonu mebli Bodzio

I took this picture of a squirrel in the Boston Common sneaking up to get a drink from this man's cup. He gave me permission to post the pic.

The largest brain on Earth, at about 8kg, belongs to the Sperm Whale

The largest brain relative to body size belongs to a particularly small species of ant, whose brains make up 12% of their mass

It's not a uniform trend. The triceratops had a brain the size of a walnut.

Human brains aren't the biggest, but they're about 3 times bigger than they should be, by primate norms

Basically, nature asked brains for some consistency, and the response was "LOL f**k you"

4 October 1927 | Two Polish twin sisters were born in Komarów in Poland - Maria and Czesława Krajewska.

They were registered in Auschwitz on 5 February 1943. Maria (no. 34425) perished on 23 May. Her sister Czesława (no. 34426) died on 23 July. 

They were 15 years old.

"I discovered a fish that has the smallest brain to body ratio of all vertebrates"

"Aw, the poor thing. You gave it a nice name though, yeah? No need to kick it while it's down"

"...You named it something nice, right?"
