Either these people in Harbin, China are actually resorting to wearing fursuits to deal with temperatures that can reach below zero or the PRC doesn't know that furries are a thing.

Apparently, there's laws for carrying around knives in Illinois and the two I carry around in my pencil pouch (one for... edgy shit and one for when I actually need to cut something) are too big to be street legal. For the state of Illinois, the limit is 3" blade length (my proper knife is just above that limit, the duller knife is about at the limit.) And for the city of Chicago, the limit is 2.5". So now, I have to look for a folding knife with a 2.5" blade that works well with short nails.

Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, is apparently not only an Anti-Semite, but a firm believer in David Icke's conspiracy theories. Yes, the reptilian guy.

I now want to know the next time Alice Walker comes to town so I can dress up as a Reptilian and see how everyone reacts, especially when they find out she actually believes in them.

The Perseverance rover, which is on Mars, internally holds a piece of a Mars meteorite found in Antarctica, which is used to double-check the spectrograph’s readings. That rock is thus the first object to make the round trip journey from Mars to Earth and back.
