Not to mention that they were happily selling Kanye West’s Nazi clothing until the press and social media called them out for it.

Things I’d want to know before deciding for myself whether the screenshot montage is real, regardless of whether Trump shared it (he did):

• Have we seen other screenshots where Trump use enormous font sizes? Is that how bigger system text looks in this app? He’s not exactly youthful, so it’s no great surprise, but worth asking the question.
• Is it realistic that Trump or an aide would have screenshotted the entire message within two minutes of it being received?
• Does this messaging app routinely display the contact name offset and the profile image vertically cropped? What app is it?

And skins, tanned, stitched, and treated with resin. Pottery is also an ancient skill.

Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.

I agree about the latter, he’s a centrist Democrat at best, but he’s got a lot at stake directly opposing the Trump administration on their latest actions as the US slips into dictatorship, and I’d hardly call that cowardice.

1990s experimental ecological project Biosphere 2

I’ve never read about this! It cost $200 million and was a failure - the soil microbes used much more oxygen than expected and the resulting carbon dioxide reacted with the concrete walls to make calcium carbonate, so neither the human “crew” nor the plants had enough to breathe.

Not totally sure of the relevance, but you’re thinking of K.C. & The Sunshine Band’s 1975 That’s the Way (I Like It).

Quick reminder that if we’re hearing it from Bannon, there’s an agenda being pushed, and it’ll be in Trump’s best interests. Nice to hear about infighting, though.

Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities

It’s exactly the same word, as I understand it – in this sense, thrown into the air rather than lifted into the air. We’ve started using the past participle as the present tense, and created “hoisted” to fill the gap, and the violent/uncontrolled sense of the word is now archaic.

You don’t need to pretend Musk has German ancestry to criticize them. His father is a violent bigot who supports Russian imperialism and his maternal grandfather was a racist, fascist Southern African politician.

The sort of end user that gets common sense stuff wrong is not the sort of end user that would ever have read the documentation anyway 🤷

On Saturday April 19th he met with Pietro Parolin. This was framed as a snub. On Sunday 20th he met with Francis.

There’s a weird thing here. I totally accept that the traditional tongue map is pseudoscience and debunked, but if you’re paying attention to something like wine or good chocolate, letting it spread across your whole tongue really does seem change the flavor and bring new aspects to what you’re tasting.

My subjective impression is that there is some effect to exposing the whole tongue to a stimulus, and I’d really like to understand it more - but when you search the web, you pretty much just get deconstructive articles about the old model, and not much about what might actually be happening.

I can imagine Laurence Olivier in The World At War would be good for this!

I don’t know anything about insects and spiders, but maybe some sort of running crab spider, e.g. Philodromus cespitum?
