It seems silly to quote a fantasy book but there’s a Terry Pratchett quote where they have captured the main villain and are about to kill him, “it doesn’t matter what he is. It matters what we are.” It’s stuck with me whenever the death penalty comes up.

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.

Moo Deng has obviously been on my mind a lot. I like to think that in his sorrowful repentance, an animal gave him a little encouraging nibble. Like how my cat thinks biting my nose while I cry is offering emotional support.

An actual trad medieval peasant would have cut the throat of a thousand men before him to have access to pasteurization
Fifteen different raw milk options
available on the shelf at the store

Students: We’re all cheating with AI and we hate how we’re addicted to our screens
Commentators: Digital technologies are important tools students need to be competitive in a global economy, and there’s no evidence that there is any more academic dishonesty than in the past
