Person: 3,500 books!

Me: Yes, please! I want that many books! What is this?

Person: That's how many books you'll read in your life if you read a book a week for 70 years: 3,500.

Me: That sounds ... low.

Person: That's the math.

Me: That's 10 years worth of books, not 70.

Person: 0.o Weirdo.

thanks for all of the good references posted on Mastodon, looks a little bit like a retina scan recapitulating or parroting a pattern or array, IFF and only if one had access to any Anti opsin "Antibodies" (in a fish emyo also?)

The U.S. Needs Wildland #Firefighters More Than Ever, but the Federal #Government Is Losing Them
==

Highly skilled firefighters are the last line of defense against #wildfires, but that line is fraying because the government decided long ago that theyโ€™re not worth very much.

fire is a natural part of the forest ecosystem. If properties are at risk, let the insurance companies pay.
in reply to ProPublica

I fought fires with the USFS in the 80s, and loved it. It can be an addiction of sorts; my heart would start racing anytime I smelled wildfire smoke in the distance for 20 years afterwards. But now they've privatized most fire crews, the crews have to drive themselves despite extreme fatigue instead of having buses chartered like we had, and climate change has made the intensity of fires much worse. Sadly, there's no way I would do it again.

Given the evidence, many judges & SCJs are #GOPChristianNationists:

โ€œReligious freedomโ€ is having a moment in fed courts. One of the big successful goals of the conservative legal mvt was that religious freedom would be advanced in a way that it supposedly hadn't been before. Left-leaning fears of religious favoritism in the judiciary appear: validated. 9thC demonstrated in an opinion issued earlier this month... religious freedoms may actually be more restricted than-. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/03/supreme-court-and-religion-judges-christianity.html

A quotation from Shakespeare
PRINCE: In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke.
BENEDICK The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bullโ€™s horns and set them in my forehead, and let me be vilely painted, and in such great letters as they write โ€œHere is good horse to hireโ€ let them signify under my sign โ€œHere you may see Benedick the married man.โ€


William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Much Ado About Nothing, Act 1, sc. 1, l. 256ff (1.1.256-262) (1598)
