One of the hellhounds barked into the spacial rift in the kitchen for an hour this afternoon. 15 minutes later, an article on Laika, the Sovet space dog, materialized on the counter with the hound's name on the by-line.
She used her pawprint to sign the contract.
Καυτό Σάββατο, 36°, αλλά στο μικρόκοσμο τα πράγματα παγώνουν: το κβαντικό κενό φλερτάρει με το απόλυτο μηδέν. 100 χρόνια κβαντομηχανικής κι ακόμη ψάχνουμε τη «σπίθα» που κινεί τα πάντα. Εσύ σε ποια συχνότητα δονείσαι σήμερα; 🔬✨ #QuantumYear #ScienceFact #SaturdayVibes

When our actions and values don't quite line up, as they are doing for many on the MAGA side and the extreme left, we use cognitive dissonance to help convince ourselves that they are aligned and we don't have to change at all.
The person who cuts down the last tree in the Amazon rainforest will have a good reason for it.
Ha! #ScienceFact Sex and gender are neurologically distinct making them separate concepts. Your junk don't define you. What you think of yourself, does.
