When I was first learning to write,
my letters and words ran from right to left, reversed as if in a mirror.
Being left-handed, I was imitating the hand strokes of my right-handed teachers instead of reversing their strokes to replicate the letters.
I gradually got the hang of writing in the correct direction, but it still feels natural for me to mirror-write.
I have a mirror-written childhood diary. Leonardo da Vinci, another lefty, did that too

The image is a graphic design featuring bold, stylized text against a vibrant, solid royal blue background. The primary focus is the word "ZATHRAS" rendered in large, uppercase letters. These letters are a bright, warm orange with a distinct red outline, giving them a three-dimensional, embossed appearance. The shadows cast by the red outline suggest light coming from the top left.

Below "ZATHRAS," and slightly to the left, is the word "FOR" in a smaller, italicized font, also in the same oran…

The GUARDIAN:
"After erecting scaffolding on Friday evening, workers in hard hats and hi-viz vests draped tarpaulin over the temporary structure at 2am to block public views of their progress but were seen, through a small opening in the scaffolding covering, to be removing the letters at about 3am."

Between May 29 and July 9,
roughly 51,000 comments were posted to regulations.gov
(and over 200,000 more had been received but not yet published).
The verdict on public sentiment is clear and lopsided:
about 94 percent oppose the proposed rule and only 6 percent support it,
with fewer than one percent marked as unclear.
The opposition is overwhelmingly grassroots rather than orchestrated.
Form letters make up only about 16 percent of all comments…

Halfway through this paper that I’m reviewing appears an AI-generated diagram of the system the paper describes. The authors are transparent about it, but what do I make of this?
I’ve got to admit, this annoys me more than I expected.
Even if we assume that the diagram is structurally correct, the text contains the typical genAI artifacts (mashed-up letters, misspellings, etc.) that one wouldn’t accept in the main text—so it’s simply sloppy. What’s the point!?

We've got a brand-new book out.
"Much Love from Paris: Letters to My Family (1928 - 30)" (edited by Nelda Damiano with the assistance of Katherine Rabogliatti and with an essay by Robyn Asleson) lets Louise Heron Blair tell her own story: a young, rebellious American in Paris, learning how to make her own life.

The cover of the new book "Much Love from Paris: Letters to My Family (1928-30)." It features a sepia-toned image of a 1920s woman leaning back with her legs crossed in a chair, facing sideways, her face turned to face us.

Hantaviruses, which belong to the Bunyavirales order, replicate and transcribe their genome in the cytoplasm of infected cells. So Hantavirus already won’t enter the nucleus, and Ivermectin, an anti-parasite substance, won’t do much of anything to a virus.
“…orthomyxoviruses replicate and transcribe their genome within the cell nucleus, whereas bunyavirus genome replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.”

screenshot of a post by Mary Talley Bowden MD 

Red letters: False Information

Hantavirus is a RNA virus, and ivermectin should work against it. 

Ivermectin blocks RNA viruses from entering the nucleus, inhibits viral replication, disrupts integrity of the viral membrane and can prevent viral replication.

Most capitalists, as a class, don't think "oh, we should fire people to make sure we don't lose control." But, as here, a few people do. All it takes is a few because you have highly class aware companies like BlackRock, which own enough stock to just force boards to force CEOs to lay people off. Strongly worded letters from private equity can kick off firing sprees in FAANG. Everyone else just follows their lead because "they must have some information we don't" or "they're smart, so we should follow their lead."
It takes a very tiny portion of the capitalist class to maintain the system. It mostly acts without any centralized control channel. That's one of the the things that makes the system so stable.

#Memphis #Tennessee

A protestor stands next to his very large sign which says “FUCK the racist Tennessee senate.” The word “FUCK” is very big in red block letters; the remainder is in smaller black stenciled letters. The sign is almost as tall as the man. Memphis, Tennessee, May 15, 2026.

ES S
DIED YOU

A brown Honda CR-V with a Washington license plate. It has a single bumper sticker, which originally likely said “JESUS DIED FOR YOU” in rainbow letters, but is now so faded that only some of the colors remain, making it say “ES S DIED YOU”

A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets hotter.
This enigmatic patch is often referred to as the "cold blob" and scientists have been trying to figure out the mechanisms behind its cooling.
While some studies have blamed increased heat loss at the sea surface,
others suggest weaker currents are bringing less heat to the area.
Now, a new study, published in Geophysical Research…

The image shows a shelf in a store with several boxes of Dare Whippet Dark Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies. The main focus is on a box in the center, which is prominently displayed. The box has a purple background with a stylized wave of dark brown and gold. The brand name "Whippet" is written in large, white, sans-serif letters across the top half of the box. Below the brand name, there's a circular badge that says "MADE WITH REAL CHOCOLATE" in white text.

The central image on the box is a clos…

A circular wooden embroidery hoop on a plain white background displays a cross-stitch design on white Aida fabric. The left side features a cross-stitch sword with a teal-striped hilt, gold crossguard and pommel, and a grey and silver blade. To the right of the sword, the cross-stitch text reads: “I’M NOT PROCRASTINATING I’M DOING SIDE QUESTS” in black, pixelated capital letters.

The image is a close-up, waist-level shot of a person wearing a black t-shirt and camouflage-patterned pants. Attached to the person's belt is a black holster, commonly used for carrying a firearm. However, instead of a weapon, a yellow wrapper with the words "CHEESE BURGER" printed in large, bold, orange letters is sticking out of the holster. The wrapper appears to be from a fast-food item, likely a cheeseburger. The person's hand is visible on the left side of the frame, resting near the hol…
