but orangutans need a clamp to hold the timber in place. This is why they’re rarely seen on construction sites, they aren’t efficient and get sacked

Carshares, bikeshares and the like are a positive for the environment, though access to them isn’t equal. What can be done to give everyone more transportation options?

The image depicts a solitary figure walking through a desert landscape, shrouded in a dark cloak that billows in the wind. The figure is seen from behind, with their hood obscuring their face, and they carry a weapon in their right hand. The environment is characterized by a vast expanse of sand dunes, with a hazy sky that suggests a dusty atmosphere. The color palette is dominated by warm tones, primarily shades of beige and brown, which enhance the arid and desolate feel of the scene. In the center of the image, white text reads "Introducing Kling AI 2.0," indicating that this is likely a promotional image for a new version of an artificial intelligence system. The overall composition emphasizes the figure's solitary journey through the harsh desert terrain.

From 1772 to 1783 Mary Delany made 985 intricate & botanically accurate floral mosaics out of paper. They were the precursors of the collage style of #art. In a letter to her niece, Mary said she had invented a new way of imitating flowers. #MythologyMonday @frome_maude #Paperart #flowers

all i want to know is how many of those 4Chan IP addresses are linked to USA local police and the feds ( DHS, DOJ, USMIL )

thepit.social/@peter/114342673…

IPs won’t tell you who specifically is reading y’all; but will tell you where your audience is coming from. every USGOV branch have dedicated IPs. the logs don’t lie.

for years i said 4Chan was a cop and techbros hangout. it was obvious m00t was being propped up by Silicon Valley scum using the place as a COINTELPRO Mos Isley. i never thought of 4Chan as a place for radicalizing random youth.

When you write an alttext, it should describe the picture. "Mike Luckovich cartoon" is not even a title.
