Just learned that the librarians of Alexandria were paid large salaries to prevent bribary. Now I'm thinking about how public servants and academics here are generally paid well enough to live comfortably but not so well that the jobs would attract people who are primarily driven by a desire for wealth, and how that balance is probably pretty important. Unfortunately the executive roles do not follow this pattern and I believe this is part of why these systems are falling apart.

Ok but like how fucked up would it be to deathbed confess to a made up crime?

Like obviously you have to drop some hints in the years leading up to make it seem legit as well.

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

This morning my cat was pacing around the house yowling at me for approximately 4 hours because he wanted the heavy machinery at a nearby construction site to stop making noise 👍
