@georgepenney@sunny.garden what a lovely post. But I suspect that you'd enjoy lots of places because of your way of seeing them

@slowe@mastodon.me.uk vale Sam Neill

@georgepenney@sunny.garden I think both 8yo and 40syo were right. Can you imagine the combination of donuts and rice pudding?

@Doreen32128 the quality of the two judgments is very different, though. The US bloke is being horrible, the Iranian bloke is being sincere.

@BrianJopek@mastodon.world the US has become unbearable. A pariah in the world

@georgepenney@sunny.garden figs.

@goatrodeo@mstdn.social the civilization that has been destroyed is that of the US.

@iain_bright@mastodon.green @georgepenney@sunny.garden my impression is that THOSE roundabouts disappeared about 25 years ago when a) people realised they were really dangerous in the presence of older bullying kids and b) there was an opportunity for an enterprising plastics manufacturer to dominate the commerce of playground equipment.

@saposcat@indieauthors.social isn't it funny that there is genuine ambiguity about the tense of "read" but we never think of confusing it with "red". Whereas there is genuine confusion about lead/led.

@dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz @alzimon@mastodon.nl @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz I was brought up in the UK to know that draining bathwater rotates widdershins in the northam hemisphere and antiwiddershins in the southern. I have never tested to see whether it rotates in the same direction.

@Free_Press unfingbelievable

@RadicalAnthro very sad for presumably a student who should have been taught better and a professor who should have known better. But also for the person so egregiously treated.

@SeanPLynch @Doreen32128 true but not the point

@georgepenney@sunny.garden so porridge is the winner today. Wonderful

@plyspomitox@chaos.social that is a wonderful thing to say. I wonder whether there is a literature on the use of the expression "marketplace..." and how it relates to the rise of capitalism (or is it a descent?)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social excapt that now you cannot afford anything unless you raid the coffers of the corrupt

@saposcat@indieauthors.social Yes.

@mrundkvist 🤣

@georgepenney caution is always the best, especially with funnel-adjacent spiders.

@fenixmaster @susankayequinn maybe not a crime?

@sundogplanets @d_rift This is precisely what I am afraid of. I think that geoengineering is a terrifying prospect, given what we have achieved unintentionally. But to do something which might knowingly engineer the atmosphere in this way but without alerting people to that possibility is absolutely frightening. The doge is quite capable of doing it, but he might be intending it but concealing it from us. If you are as aware of the prospect as you suggest you are the person who should shout it

@sundogplanets I have been wondering whether the obscene amounts of space debris the doge is putting into space might have an impact on climate. He has not said anything about geoengineering (has he) but it might have an impact.

@georgepenney@sunny.garden it does make you wonder why we ever bother to write books.

@georgepenney@sunny.garden looks wonderful and will be on our bucket list when we are in NZ in November. But I may not be a longbeard even then.

@tafnn 👏 🤞 👍

@RadicalAnthro thanks for drawing my attention to it. I had not seen it, though I have heard the terrible tale of plagiarism (for which see the corrigenda). It is obviously a really important site and would seem to corroborate a lot of what you have been saying all these years. Fantastic.

@RadicalAnthro of course we now know that there are hand stencils older than 60k in Sulawesi

@Bubotomy@mastodon.social Dr Suess or Ogden Nash

@saltywizard@beige.party I have been advocating for a little town in Central Pennsylvania. It is called Nuremberg.

@mrundkvist and characteristically the toilet did not work

@skykiss problem is, so far as I can tell from media reports from the US, men who vote for rapists don't respect women.

@DrALJONES@mastodon.social let's be clear. There has never been a ceasefire in this particular round of the Israeli attacks that began on 8 October 2023.

@mrundkvist 👏

@petergleick@fediscience.org it is a remarkable document

@loucyx@mastodon.social which direction was it travelling and did it burst into flames before or after it hit?

@Bellingen@mastodon.au 🤮 🤮 🤮

@CanvasesByPeter@mementomori.social where do we sign the petition? If we end our role in the supply of weapons parts, that should, at least, slow down the slaughter.

@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchange @cdarwin@c.im GOOD LUCK

@darth_hideout@mas.to @randahl@mastodon.social that would be a hillbilly elegy, right?

@Sheril@mastodon.social but it is orange on the inside. That must mean something

@cathywilcox@theblower.au thank you again. And this on the day the reduced suffering numbers on NDIS by 160000. Obscene.

@georgetakei I think I am grateful that the US is still playing deadly games with Israel and has its attention diverted from this. Otherwise I would expect them to try to overthrow the duly elected government. After all, they have done that before.

@randahl@mastodon.social send him back to the White House, first

@randahl@mastodon.social It is probably a mockery of the AUKUS subs which will be the destruction of all that is good in Australia.

@mrundkvist I have just tried to access through my University, with no luck. Can I ask for a pdf, please? idavidso@une.edu.au
