Just some old clown who happens to be stuck in NW Ar. I'm fairly open in attitude but I draw the line at willful ignorance...looking at you, repubs!
@adhdeanasl I wouldn't call desantis amazing but I will definitely agree he is a distracting ass.
As #Republicans pass laws literally designed to endanger the lives of #LGBTQ people and erase the country's history of #racism, I still see people on here saying, essentially, "Both parties are basically the same." No. They. Are. Not. God knows the Dems have lots of flaws, but right now the difference between the two major parties is measured in human lives. You can vote accordingly, even while pushing the Dems to do better.

Everyone: the racist, sexist, violent system has failed us

Tech bros: idk, it works on my machine

Move over Eurovision, the true ranking of European nations is here: the cheese map of Europe!

According to this BMI chart…

ā€œPut pebbles in your birdbath so that bees and other insects can drinkā€, I was told. Today I got visual confirmation of this.

The moon can appear to wiggle a little over time.

Libration (the moon's wiggle) is the apparent movement of the moon because it's not in a perfectly circular orbit.

Here's how it looks sped up. Keep an eye on the Tycho Crater for full effect. (The Tycho Crater is the bright one at the "bottom" of the moon that has all the rays of debris stretching from the impact out across the moon)

English has two different terms for words that come into English from other languages. A 'calque' is translated from the source language. (E.g., flea market, beer garden, paper tiger) A 'loanword' is ported in its original form. (E.g., cafe, bazaar, kindergarten) Perhaps ironically, the word 'calque' is a loanword, while 'loanword' is a calque (from Ger. 'lehnwort').
