Scientists didn't become pickier - they just later found that Pluto was in a belt of thousands of massive object (called the Kuiper belt), like the asteroid belt but much bigger.

When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was thought to be a comet, later a planet, but after discovering it was one of many asteroids in the asteroid belt (which it wasn't big enough to clear), they realized it wasn't a planet.

When Pluto was first discovered in 1930, it was in a similar situation as Ceres and thought of as a planet, but when other Kuiper belt objects started to be discovered by 1992, they realized Pluto also wasn't a planet.

Am I having a stroke, or are the photos of the people in that article something you'd expect from a broken AI clickbait site, rather than an article by a public service broadcaster?

Factory farming for the vast majority of chickens, is life-long enslavement in torturous conditions.

Hundreds of billions of non-aquatic animals are enslaved by factory farmers every year.

Trillions of fish are enslaved in factory farms every single year.

Only Yesterday is my favorite by far. If Grave of the Fireflies didn't have the supernatural/Deus-ex-machina/genre whiplash scenes at the end, it would've been my favorite, but that ending ruins the movie for me.

"If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary." -- Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Can anyone post a link and the date+time? I don't want to go to bsky because of their unethical policies like link tracking.

(Wouldn't it be better to copy paste the texts of things like this, instead of screen caps?)

It'll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like

  • Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve both God and money."
  • Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor"
  • Matthew 5:39 "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
  • Matthew 5:44 "love your enemies"

So there's no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?
