Those new to this site may not know that Christopher Bouzy is also a light sabre builder. Read his thread to see the entire assembly process-- it's pretty cool!

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzySince we have updated how multiple photos are displayed, I will use this opportunity to share photos of a light saber I designed and built. I shared it before, but this is a special occasion so I will share it again. 😅04:34 PM - Jan 07, 2024![Image]()

I agree with what Lawrence O'Donnell says here, but I also feel some pity for Hicks. Her time on the stand seems to have been a sort of intervention for her, a moment of clarity when she finally realized that she'd been duped all those years. It's hard to admit that you've been conned.

I hope so, but if Kunce is going to beat Hawley he needs to up his media game to up his name recognition. Kunce has been active on the X-bird site for a long time, but it's going to take more than that to win.

I'm going to make a request to take action. If you are experiencing slowed USPS mail issues, can you please contact your representative to make them aware of this issue? I'm sure people waiting on medications are being affected. #louisdejoy

I love the fact checker, but I'm wondering... If someone posts an image with a purported fact, can it be fact checked? Is the AI robust enough to accomplish that?

I love that this accuracy check uses the North American Bear Center as its source. I've been following their website posts for about 15 years, and they're absolutely the best research-based source for bear info.

The trip to the top of the Arch is an unforgettable experience. The echoing sounds of voices and machinery. The repeated adjustments each car makes as it leans then straightens upright again. And once you get to the top, looking out the windows from 630 ft. above the city. It's not to be missed!

jenn ○f many things @JennOfManyThingsThe Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO. This is the capsule that takes you to the top. As a kid, it was one of the first designs that grabbed all my attention in the moment. In the 1970s, this was still fairly futuristic looking. 😆

Thanks to Mr. Bouzy for sharing this! I've clipped the graphic to use the next time I'm teaching my students about how bias can be introduced in polling. It's great to have a real-life, current-day example.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyIt's the same question worded differently with different results. The polls are not scientific, but this experiment demonstrates how you can manipulate the outcome of a poll with just how you word it.02:32 PM - May 01, 2024![Picture]()

We had a neighbor who loved gardening, but she hated the flocks of starlings that sometimes swooped in as she worked. Every time she recounted yet another starling incident, she would say, "They're such impotent birds." We didn't have the heart to tell her the word she meant to say was "impudent".

Here's a problem that needs to be solved here: I was scrolling through a post listing numbers for suicide, and what did I find right underneath it? An ad for guns. That's just wrong.
06:53 PM - Apr 22, 2024
The gun ads are the ones that are offensive to me. They remind me of my two nephews who both took their lives with a gun. Some may not be bothered by them, but I would love to be able to eliminate the gun ads from my feed.

Rebecca E @ISJ408I don't care about ads here...they are a part of doing business. Just scroll past as I do if it bothers you.06:01 PM - Apr 22, 2024
BUT...ads for guns are NOT ok @cbouzy ! There is too much violence in the US, too many murdered by mass shooters, too many lives destroyed by guns. Please rethink this type of ad. Thank you
