Conservatives: This shouting down of speakers is outrageous and a violation of free speech norms!

Me: Yes!

Conservatives: That’s exactly why we have to ban all DEI!

Me: Ye…wait what

Conservatives: This will continue to happen until the schools are purged of the wrongthinkers by a holy cleansing fire!

Me: I always forget what you guys are like

So you know how I usually like to post nice and crisp shots? Well, here's an exception – an utterly ridiculous scene from what's actually the corners of two otherwise-boring shots.

I just adore how the seagull dives straight down with reckless abandon and then, having caught the bit of bread it was after, scrambles to get away from the hungry swan!

"I don't understand," the knitter said. "You have spaceships, you explore, I don't know, black wormholes or whatever they're called. Why come to me?"
"I do not know how to knit," the alien said. "It fascinates me."
"You know so much more than us."
"Gng. We know different things."

@pluralistic I mentioned this one to my family the other day and got some lols. They'd never heard of it, but I think there was an actual one hanging in one of my EE labs. (many, many moons ago)

Would any of you know if diagnostic pieces of Mysis exoskeletons persist in lake sediments? (i.e., can you examine lake sediments of acid-damaged lakes to determine if Mysis were part of the original invert community)?

Imagine thinking you are "pro-family" but being "against" (?) gender neutral bathrooms because you don't care if dads with little girls or moms with little boys have to stress about "at what age" it's OK to let the kid go on their own.

I bought a BGN Nikonos IV-a in 2011 from KEH on a lark.Thought it would be good for shooting film while kayaking. It turned out to be a great camera to shoot on the water and in any wet conditions. But I was always worried because I had heard they are hard to maintain and can easily flood.

So when my camera stopped working one rainy day in 2012, while out leading a sea kayaking trip, I was bummed and thought: Oh well, guess thats the end of that!.. and I stashed it in a box... (1/4)
