Screenshot of 2 (3?) posts. The first by @mapcenter.com: “I’ve long been nervous that ‘I’ am the product at The Map Center. On the one hand it means I am distinct (and better) than online retailers. How fun! How novel! On the other hand, it means I can’t scale. I have to design an entertainment business model. I have to become a mappy Chuck E Cheese.” The second post by @notyourdove.atproto.systems is an image of a dramatic/feral woman in a film overlaid with a screenshot from @RACH4_theSTARZ reading: “Nobody is doing it like me because this is probably not the right way to do it.”

LaSota and Danielson began experimenting with something they called “unihemispheric sleep,” which they believed allowed them to put portions of their brain into slow wave sleep while remaining consciously awake. It was, LaSota wrote, “a means of keeping restless watch while alone.”

From the Guardian: 9:06 Sun 2 Feb 2024 **Labor shelves plans for federal EPA indefinitely** Plans for a federal environment protection agency have been shelved indefinitely after the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, intervened once again to quell a backlash in Western Australia. Guardian Australia has confirmed contentious laws to create the EPA have been pulled from this week’s draft Senate program and won’t be debated before the election, due on or before 17 May. The move, first reported in The West Australian, came after a backlash from miners and WA Premier Roger Cook to attempts from the environment minister, Tanya Plibersek, to revive her signature bill. It is the second time Albanese has stepped in to push the EPA off the agenda in a matter of months after he intervened late last year to scuttle a draft deal Plibersek reached with the Greens and independent David Pocock to establish the nature watchdog. The Greens are now unwilling to support an EPA without a blanket ban on native logging, while the Coalition remains firmly opposed, leaving Labor without a path to get it through the Senate. In a statement, a government spokesperson cited the political deadlock as the reason the legislation was pulled. "With the Greens Party making increasingly extreme demands, it’s clear there is no path to deliver a sensible EPA in this term of Parliament. Even though the Samuel Review was initiated by the former Liberal Government because business and environment groups all say the current Act is outdated and needs reform the Coalition have continued to be obstructionist."
