Has anyone ever given a bunch of orangutans a selection of fruit salads and smoothies and such to see what they think. They are the experts on fruit, someone should ask them. Imagine if an orangutan approved of your fruit smoothie. You'd ride that high for decades.

'Unburnt' - a watercolour I did a few years back inspired by Khaleesi from #GOT with her favourite of her three, Drogon. At least my artistic representation anyway ;) I've got prints here, the original is sold: buff.ly/KAwx0XX #khaleesi #dragon #drogon #fantasyart

"Don't worry, the US President can't unilaterally declare war, he has to get approval from congress." The USA hasn't formally declared war since 1941 and you're either naïve or stupid if you think the USA hasn't been at war at any time in the last 80 years...

Not so long ago these guys were cheering ranchers who wanted to shoot feds in the face for grazing rights but now it’s “of course the feds should have total anonymity to do whatever” Oooooooooookay

“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.

it should go without saying but you really cannot run a country, or really any organization, like this. you cannot lurch wildly from pole to pole every four years or every four days. you cannot rip up deals and seek deals and then blow up the people you were seeking to re-deal with. doesn't work

Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic "‘If you kill me a thousand will take my place,’ said the man, who was now backed against the wall. ‘Yes,’ said Cohen, in a reasonable tone of voice, ‘but that isn’t the point is it? The point is, you’ll be dead.’"

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

this behavior was baffling to me until a friend (i believe it was @opensketchbook.bsky.social) explained to me that companies don't need to make money they need to make MORE money every year. Like, if they make 5 million dollars in profit for two years in a row? that's a fail state.

So. The Pinkertons. That news item that went around yesterday about Emily Blunt playing Kate Warne? It's from four years ago. Last solid news about the Kate Warne biopic was from 2023. It seems clear that the movie is trapped in development hell and won't ever appear. Which is a good thing. 1/

every state needs to immediately make it illegal to claim law enforcement status without self identifying & providing ID and badge and make it a very very serious offense to do so. If they don't there will be anarchy, people are already not sure who is a fake and if the fakes are out killing ppl??

The main takeaway from the massive protests and the minuscule turnout for trumps victory parade is that our democratic system is just wildly undemocratic

This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work. But Bluesky! You deserve EVERYTHING!

"The chatbot instructed him to give up sleeping pills and an anti-anxiety medication, and to increase his intake of ketamine" I suspect there are people it's killed through this shit and we just don't now because they're dead and there's no real evidence.

Who among us has never assembled a weird machine in our basement over nights full of mysterious clanking and whirring sounds? We've all been there, building our weird machine in the cover of night, its function unclear even to ourselves.
