Self-described โ€œgay furry hackersโ€ breached the Heritage Foundation in an attempt to undermine Project 2025, so of course an executive director at the right-wing think tank threatened them as โ€œdegenerate pervertsโ€ who would face Godโ€™s punishment and the FBI.

Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Nice! It's good to see a new project about therians. The little video is a good introduction. The history of therians first getting together on the internet and AHWW and such is interesting too. Looking forward to the documentary.

I do wonder what they do about typos. I mean, the old Monumental Bronze (actually zinc) interchangeable plaques make so much sense to me.

Thinking about my uncle Buck. When he came back from flying a typewriter in the Army Air Corps quartermaster office in WWII he inherited rental properties from uncle Ira. He was a terrible landlord most of his life. Then he sold out to invest in the Polka King and lost everything. I donno.

similar to the tipping point in the mid 2000s where LED/LCD high definition TVs became strictly cheaper than CRTs of the same size. CRTs were functionally dead within a few years.

The rocket in the illustration/animation is supposed to be a Falcon 9 but it's too small. The real F9 core is 3.7 meter diameter (US ICBM diameter) and the fairings are 5 meters. It's also way too short. Starship & Super Heavy are 9 meters.

In some places you don't have to go that far to find one. The first time I went to a howl (a therian gathering) in the 90s we talked about about areas in Connecticut where the tones still worked on payphones.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

My *other* grandmother (paternal) would eat half a banana with a cup of hot water. She claimed a doctor told her coffee or tea would dissolve her bones. Meanwhile, my grandfather would drink a whole pot of Eight-O'clock coffee, black. Eating disorders on both sides of the family aren't great.

I had been out of contract with my father for over a decade at that point and Trump was literally complaining about the same things and had the same bigoted attitudes. That's when I stopped watching TV news regularly. It was all too much to deal with.

She was in her sixties when she passed away from a hospital-acquired infection in 2001. She hated drinking water too. She said drinking water made her sweat, which she considered to be the most undignified thing possible.

They were old person candy when I was a kid and I'm over fifty. My grandmother ate four Graham crackers with margarine on them for breakfast with a Dixie cup of skim milk then for the rest of the day she lived on evil, circus peanuts, and Sanka.
