Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Well, I am not sure what my analysis here is worth, but here is my 7,500 word primal scream of a military historian's take on the War in Iran. My best summary: this war is dumb as hell. acoup.blog/2026/03/25/m...

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

My favourite of this week’s Six Things. A 2-minute film about the guys employed to drive the route of a Tour de France stage beforehand and alter anything painted on the road by fans that might be unsuitable for broadcast. Here they are turning a cock and balls into an owl. nos.nl/l/2294368
I’m on my nonsense again. This week’s Six Things: – dangerous roads (also, how to turn rude drawings into owls) – explore the Bayeux Tapestry (or make your own) – how to make a cricket ball – Apollo 11 in real time – the birds of Tintin – Wordlink open.substack.com/pub/levparik...

That's why the right keeps sniveling about how they're under attack. Even while they're successfully pulling off another purge. They're not used to getting yelled at when they blow taxpayer dollars on witch hunts, they're used to getting high-fives at the country club.

If you started paying attention to the US in 1960, this sure feels like the darkest timeline. But unfortunately, purges against Black & brown people are normal US behavior. You know what's NOT normal US behavior? This is the first time there's been a mass movement to STOP a purge in real time.
