The Colorado hookless cactus is no longer endangered. Once down to fewer than 5,000, the Colorado hookless cactus population now exceeds 500,000, prompting its removal from the endangered list after nearly five decades. buff.ly/HJ255Rl #ShareGoodNewsToo

“What really motivated me to put it out now before waiting for a full peer review is that I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, ‘let’s do GPT kindergarten.’ I think that would be absolutely bad and detrimental,” she says. “Developing brains are at the highest risk.”

Are you a journalist writing about a current heatwave? The images you choose are critical to the story. The @climateoutreach.bsky.social team have shown some ideas here which help stress the risks rather than the typical ice creams: www.climatevisuals.org/how-do-you-p...

The talented @tommyarnoldart.com has posted some concept designs from #Murderbot on his website, with commentary that gives some helpful insight into the design development process: www.tommyarnoldart.com/concept-art/

There's a weird left-QAnon thing starting up centered around dubious claims about the 2024 results popping up at the periphery of the internet. I feel like we're gonna hear more and more about this so just laying down my understanding of it now. I think its basically a hoax. 1/a lot

I wrote for a magazine called Risk Management and went to risk management conferences and this is 100% true. The people who file and pay out insurance claims know climate change is real.

Yikes. www.media.mit.edu/projects/you...

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

The frustrating balance of not wanting to provoke anxiety by reading the news, and having a brain that becomes anxious if I entirely step away from hearing about current events.

Good policy, but for context, California was permitting projects in the Central Valley much faster than this Opt-In 270 day process. We wrote about the Westlands water district, also in Fresno County, where it takes 55 days on average to permit a project in Planning to Build Faster. 🔌💡 #EnergySky

We take a shitload of steps to block scrapers, and I mean a FUCKING SHITLOAD of steps that we're constantly tweaking and spend hours on per week, and our server load is still up about 75% from two years ago with only a slight increase in MAU. This problem is fucking huge.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? A majority of the world’s insect species have no living expert who can identify them.

Let's try it again. On June 17 I will be at the Pierce County Library in Orting Washington to celebrate Summer Reading. Debbie Zessin will be there with her debut romance novel Captured in Belize. Join us for chat, refreshments and fun starting at noon.

This captures something real and sad and beautiful.

Take a look at this indie edition of Brigands & Breadknives - coming out in November. It's signed, has a lovely sprayed edge and some glorious endpapers! bertsbooks.co.uk/product/brig...

Call your congresspeople. Much of these are popular recreation areas. This is a way to privatize the places that people hike and camp in. Once we lose these areas we never get them back.

Here in Washington state, 3,866,398 acres are on the line. This includes some of the most carbon-dense forest in the world, with immeasurable value for climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and human health and well-being.

TY INDIEWIRE!!!

Husband: Do you think the dinosaurs at the zoo will eat our food? Kids: No! Kid 1: Because they're just pretend dinosaurs. Kid 2: Because last time we saw the dinosaurs we had food and they didn't eat it. For anyone who needs a deductive vs inductive reasoning example for their methods class.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

One of the greatest songs ever written about racist policing/villainous “law & order” regimes, sung by the man who wrote & recorded it 45 years ago, with backing by child street-corner buskers

Best moment at Pride/No Kings yesterday was a young man with tight coily hair who had at least a dozen Pride flags stuck in it, and friends gleefully raiding the nearby tables for more. I expressed delight. Flag-wielding friend: “He’s the only one of us who’s straight!”

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

The back end of the Boston Pride / No Kings parade

It's been so heartwarming to see photos and video from protests across the country (and a few "in solidarity" protests, like in Vancouver and Lisbon). I also appreciate the person posting from the far more anemic gathering ahead of Trump's, er, the military's parade. The contrast is beautiful.

the neighbour who was here yesterday pitching a fit over the length of my lawn came back 10 min ago to tell me that he's been watching news and I should not worry & long as he lives here they will have to go through him first and thing is, it wasn't just Walt Whitman who contained multitudes

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

I love that the world still has the capacity to surprise me www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Damn. Just heard that a Minnesota lawmaker, Melissa Hortman, was assassinated, and looked them up. She was on here--this is the last post she wrote

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.

The fake police vehicle suggests a significant amount of effort and planning went into this.

It remains slightly wild to me that my familiarity with the Posse Comitatus Act before (gestures at current events) was from a very funny episode of Dirty Laundry, where bartender Grant O'Brien gave a brief definition and named the year it was established. (Drop Out is excellent for many reasons.)

Here, have some genuinely great news: In a unanimous decision, SCOTUS rules in favour of disability protections, and a reasonably low standard of proof for disability-based discrimination.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

every single word in this DHS tweet is a lie, transparently so, disproven by a video that's already gotten all over the Internet

I'm trying not to have hot takes but saw another "but they're taking law abiding people" and look I extremely don't care if an undocumented person is law abiding or not. They still deserve due process.

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

This is good and pretty close to Pritzker’s call for mass mobilizations in April. Americans are not used to the level of civic resistance needed to take down a regime, but governors can do a lot to encourage it. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/06/10/g...

Made these a few weeks ago to try out a new fountain pen. I enjoy drawing with it much more than with microns! Expect even more ink drawings in the future 😊✒️ #art #drawing #sketchbook #traditionalart #inkart

somewhere in Sacramento, Newsom's social media manager was given the green light to go to DEFCON 1 and is enjoying every second of it

Save these for your panicky friends and family members. I’ve had adult men come to the verge of tearfully screaming in my face denying this could be true.
