Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

What if MK characters could beat up the car from Street Fighter 2...and perform finishing moves on it? @RetrolutionGam1 from X/Twitter programmed an actual build with Sub-Zero where you can do that! And of course we had to put our spin on the finishers.

Wow, Russ Vought (Trump's budget director) is planning to do "pocket rescissions." This is an illegal practice that'd institute at minimum a 12% cut to any program on the list (larger to anything behind on obligations). GAO, tasked w/ determining ICA violations, has said this practice is illegal.

Across the country, new "squatting laws" are being weaponized against tenants. In Atlanta, Bolden Capital Group is using this law to force out families who paid rent—after leaving them in units with no power, collapsing ceilings, and rampant mold. Landlords are terrorizing people with impunity.

A baby platypus is called a puggle (or 'platypup' 😁) And anytime you post a video like this one, someone always points out they have venomous spurs. The adult males DO, but only the adult males! Let's talk about the amazing venom cocktail produced by this adorable little beaver-duck.

Measles likely came from cows (via rinderpest) around the 6th century BCE. For 2,500 years, we didn’t evolve superhuman resistance—children just died. Real protection only came in the 1960s, with vaccines. Our superpower isn’t evolving into superhumans. It’s outthinking pathogens.

Wow! The latest STEREO-A COR2 coronagraph image shows an impressive CME leaving the Sun. ST-A is off to the west looking at the Sun, so Earth would actually be located to the left in this coronagraph. You can see a good portion of this CME is coming straight at us, with most of it going north...

It's a feature, not a bug! The classic rock format was born out of a battle between record labels looking to place successors to the fading crop of 70s AOR titans and radio stations who weren't convinced Prince, The Replacements, etc would fly with the AOR demographic. (1)
