We can grow used to #science
After awhile what was once extraordinary is now mundane
Then you encounter a story that absolutely blows your mind
Wonder and awe are rekindled
"A decade after losing her sight, a #BC woman can see again — through her tooth"
TLDR:
1. remove tooth, implant in cheek
2. wait, let it gather connective tissue
3. remove both, add plastic lens
4. implant in eye socket
5. connective tissue anchors
6. some sight is restored

Wife beater to battered wife:
"Your friends say I'm killing you. If I wanted to kill you, you {expletive}, it would take me 5 minutes. {laughter}"
#Netanyahu:
"If we wanted to commit #genocide, it would have taken exactly one afternoon"
If you look carefully, you can always see the abuser's tells
The way they frame an issue leaks their true thoughts on it

"Assimilation-induced #dehumanization: #Psychology research uncovers a dark side effect of #AI
...when people interact with #autonomousAgents—such as robots or #virtualAssistants—that display strong #emotionalIntelligence, they tend to see those machines as more humanlike. But this shift comes with an unintended consequence: people may also begin to see other humans as less human, leading to a higher likelihood of mistreating them."

Sometime in your life, you might encounter an entitled insufferable controlling and abusive busybody, who has to intrude with overly judgmental accusations and deranged attempts to punish you over simple disagreements or nothing at all
There's a number of ways to deal with them
Some terrible, some ok...
Some spectacular:
😂
messing with mom is a dangerous game
but it's funny
🤭
Joy is the most important thing
Safety... ummm... uhhh...
As for safety... 😅

#Trump is meeting #Putin in #Alaska?
And what?
Evil mafia don manipulates orange manchild and decides #Ukraine without Ukrainians?
🤷
#EU: hold strong
Ignore this shit
The world of #USSR v #USA in ideological struggle is dead. What is left is shambling corpses of their former selves, reduced to an atavistic state
#Russia with a Tsar doing land war #imperialism. Stupid. USA doing #bigotry and #plutocracy to kill its #democracy. Stupid
They don't matter
The world is #Europe and #China now
🎵
It's like rain on your wedding day 🎵
what?
🎵 And isn't it ironic? 🎵
no
🎵 Don't you think? 🎵
no
it's just unfortunate
