Here's a timelapse of New York's skyline as it became engulfed in wildfire smoke and air quality dropped to hazardous levels today.

I’m a New Englander who loves to walk, cycle, kayak, travel and build community. I lurked on the bird site for a few years, and what I see happening to democracy disturbs me. I hope this will be a place for news, thoughtful conversation, and some fun.
This is what the sun looked like tonight at about 6:30pm (2 hours before sunset) in my Boston MA suburb.

Tim VerstynenDear journalists,
For the love of God, please stop calling anything that uses machine learning or data science "artificial intelligence".
It is about as accurate as calling anything that transports humans a "boat".

Ari OfsevitWow, after decades WBUR is (finally) pulling the BU chapel service off the air. Not sure about replacing the third hour of WE Sunday, but I can always stream the puzzle if I miss it. https://www.wbur.org/inside/2023/05/31/wbur-unveils-fresh-weekend-programming-lineup-showcasing-popular-shows-and-engaging-narratives @universalhub
mhoyeHoly shit: Causal evidence that the Shingles vaccine prevents a significant fraction of Alzheimer's cases. So 1, vaccines are a god damned miracle get your ass vaccinated, and 2 the implication that Alzheimer's disease is a preventable byproduct of viral infection is tectonic.

Hmm…I read HCR every day…and I may have started reading that post in the middle of the night and fell back to sleep without finishing it. 🙃.
Steve Vladek commented on it too though:
“It’s not (really) about corruption; if it was, he would’ve been toast years ago.
It’s about something *else* that caused most Texas Republicans to throw him under the bus—and in a hurry, at that.
I have no idea what *it* is; but being a corrupt putz is hardly a new development.”
Why do you think Texas House Republicans decided to impeach Texas Republican AG Ken Paxton now? Some articles say it’s because Paxton wants taxpayers to pay for the $3.3 million settlement he agreed to in February with whistleblowers, but then those same articles go on to say Paxton has been criming for years. Why now?
Both the link and image work for me (despite the image displaying as “500 internal server error”)
