"President Donald Trump's approval rating fell in recent days to its lowest point since he returned to the White House, hit by a surge ​in fuel prices and widespread disapproval of the war he launched on Iran, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The four-day poll, completed on Monday, showed 36% of Americans approve of Trump's ‌job performance, down from 40% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last week."

~ Jason Lange and Bo Erickson

Aliens? Vegetables? Nope, vegetable and animal bridge mushrooms. They're the myxomycetes, and they can move and hunt for prey or look for the best environment for them. They are born from spores, like mushrooms.
Myxomycetes move like huge amoebas, like pulsating masses: their movements seem to be dependent on microfibrils that remember the fibers of the muscles. These ′′ blobs ′′ crawl at a speed of 1 cm per hour, phagocytosing bacteria, algae, yeasts, and other organic material

Staggeringly bad by staggeringly evil beings.

An AI creation but the visuals and music and singing are just magical.

It might bemuse you to know that the #subconscious pretty well does all our #thinking - the #conscious mind too slow and lumbering to do anything other than steer and vet what the subconscious delivers.

So can we really claim to be superior thinkers when #AI uses much the same kind of neural net pattern matching that our subconscious uses?

Staggering level of insanity.

#Trump's pathological greed and deeply misguided ideas destroying the planet bit by bit.

#Moebius is a new artist to me - seems he had huge influence on others including Studio Ghibli. One of his creations ...

Fascinating debunking of autism stereotyping.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People

For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

I am 82 years old.
I have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War, the Turmoil of 1968, Watergate, the Hostage Crisis, two oil crisis, disco, Reaganomics, 9/11.
The covid pandemic....
These past 11 months have been easily the most miserable era in America in my lifetime.
The hatred, the bigotry, the lies, the racketeering and pedophilia are beyond anything I have ever seen.
We are not going to hell as a nation.
We are IN hell.
