I am now forcing everyone that comes on my blog to look upon this dog.

Look at this face and tell me you are not enraptured.

Oh. And this one:

I am obssessed with the angry puffball dog AND joe kerry's dog.

Just look at them...

Look at them!

New method turns ocean water into drinking water, without waste

The energy-efficient desalination system produces fresh water without chemical additives and transforms leftover salts into useful materials

Desalination is the process of generating freshwater from brackish or saltwater, usually through the process of reverse osmosis. While this can be a very useful tool in water shortages, it also has some pretty huge drawbacks--reverse osmosis requires a lot of energy, requires chemical treatment of the water, and produces concentrated brine as a waste product which can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems.

Researchers have recently discovered a new way to perform desalination using solar energy, which doesn't require chemical inputs and collects waste salt instead of producing brine. Concentrating the waste salt in a solid form instead of brine means that it can later be processed to extract valuable minerals like lithium.

I just got a revelation in a neighbouring comment section… it might be an interesting coincidence, or one of the sources of the bros’ inspiration (and a jumpscare for Russian speakers lol)

In 1979 there was a soviet movie, based on the book:

“The Adventures of Elektronik”

The movie tells a story of a boy Elektronik (on the right) created with an appearance of the boy on the left by a soviet scientist professor Gromov. Here’s funny resemblance:

(However, unlike Brenner, Gromov is a good guy.)

The interesting part of it in nowadays perspective is how AI can become a human and whether it can

Elektronik was not supposed to meet Seryozha (a boy he looks like), but ofc they do meet and the adventures begin. Firstly, Seryozha mostly uses Elektronik’s powers and their alikeness to solve some of his daily problems, while Elektronik learns how to be a human. He meets also Seryozha’s friends (the party, if you wish), and they shorten his name to El.

At the same time El is chased by a criminal gang that wants to kidnap and use his powers for a museum robbery.

I don’t know if the DB had this movie in mind either, but it looks like it might be possible, as it certainly has some points of alikeness, especially the motif of the main not-entirely-human character trying to become one: my recent theory is that our El can be a program in Nina (or one of the theories is that she is a demo), but even if I omit that, she canonically shares with Elektronik the beginning of being (in her situation being treated like) a blank canvas used for scientific purposes. Obviously, from what we know, El is a real girl, but her s1 version is feral, and she evolves into a more human version of herself through the following season at least. And so does Elektronik through the movie. They both are chased, while the only thing they want is to learn how to be a human — and a friend.

In ST plot El by nature is human unlike Elektronik, and yet he, being a canonical robot, gets what he wants, and that’s my another reason to believe that this is available for a canonical girl too.

Other things relevant to ST:

• twin brothers playing main characters • the movie is full of songs (which is typical, but still) • soviet scientists here vs soviet spies in ST? • in 1979? (not that the movie is connected, just interesting)

A teenager cannot get reconstructive surgery. But a parent can circumcise a baby.

A teenager cannot get body modifications. But a parent can pierce a baby's ears.

A teenager (or even a 20 year old) cannot buy cigarettes. But a parent can smoke in places where their toddler is forced to be.

What a teenager chooses is met with stricter scrutiny than what's forced on a very young child.

so, i noticed that in “sinners,” remmick is portrayed as playing a banjo when he performs. that piqued my interest because i know somebody, hannah mayree, who runs something called the “Black banjo reclamation project” which aims to educate people about the banjo’s african origins and history in Black music, accepts donations of banjos to be distributed for free to Black folks who are interested in playing, and offers shows and events oriented toward helping Black people reconnect to their roots through this instrument.

there’s a campout that starts tomorrow, june 4th, and an online study group that starts this weekend, june 6th, and some events and shows this summer that look really fun. there’s also a newsletter for any future events!

looks like i can’t put the link to the website, but it’s just the name of the project dot org

I have always loved a good banjo. It's crazy bc it's from Africa, but it always gets a bad rap as a Southern White Hick stereotype. Which, interestingly enough, is probably why they gave it to Remmick. A sort of sign that even in this, he's trying to use Our Music to get Inside to Us. But anyway, somebody shredding on a banjo is 🤌🏾🔥

I'd actually love to participate in something like that, because I gave up on this guitar 😭 I don't have the memory and focus anymore to teach myself music.

This seems like a great place to plug the full-length documentary about the all-Black old-time string band Carolina Chocolate Drops:

They formed at a Black Banjo Gathering in North Carolina in 2005 and have been a big influence in the revival of Black traditional/string band/old-time/folk music in general but also from the Piedmont region of the Carolinas.

I especially like this documentary because they talk about how you take a style of music that's been whitewashed/repressed and bring it back for a modern audience, while repairing its ties to and honoring the Black ancestors who played it first. The origins of the banjo are a huge part of that and a huge part of the documentary.

the concept of "canon" is fake anyway. if you write a fanfic with better emotional arcs than the original you win. i said what i said

[rjalker]

"but if [thing that happens to people with vulvas] is an intersex trait, then being intersex isn't rare at all!" And yet, the same is not said to this degree for people with penises with the same thing, even though that's also not that rare at all.

I think the issue here is that you're simply a fucking misogynist.

[rjalker]

also there's so little research on vulval hypospadias I had to resort to reading gynecological textbooks from the 1800s to find examples of people talking about it.

[rjalker]

funnily enough, they are so casual about talking about this in the 1800s, it's clearly not a big deal to them at all.

meanwhile, in 2026,
