The Orphans’ Project began in the 1950s, when Daphne and David Sheldrick started raising orphaned animals in Tsavo. Their pioneering work laid the foundation for modern elephant and rhino care. Today, led by their daughter Angela, we continue that legacy—rescuing, raising, and reintegrating orphans.

considering the overton window has shifted (once again) to "should women vote?" AND women are actively being imprisoned for the crime of miscarriage AND we're policing gender presentation.... the idea that men are "under attack"????????????????????? c'mon you babybrained asshole

The real tragedy of young men today is not that they're being held back from success by a bunch of woke scolds. The real tragedy is that they're being told that success & happiness come through escaping all constraints, dominating & controlling others, & suppressing all vulnerability or weakness.

Whenever I see or hear the name Cassie Ventura, I think, "Jesse Ventura's daughter?" (Spoiler: no.)

But this story isn’t about the current DEI panic. It’s about the enormous financial pledges MN companies made in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and whether or not they’ve followed through as the sociopolitical culture around diversity has reversed course.

8/10,although if I encountered any of the photos in the wild without a comparison or being told one of each pair was definitely AI, my score would be more in the 0-2 range. I guess I need to start being more suspicious and trusting less. Great.

It's our biggest sale/raffle ever. Deal ends June 1! racketmn.com/help-racket-...

Pretty sure I've been a Racket Accomplice since day 1, but don't let that turn you off! Local, locally funded journalism is our only hope! Plus Racket has that knowing, cheeky alt-weekly vibe—who doesn't want to be knowing and cheeky? Hop on the supporter train.

Quite frankly we need to pick up the pace! racketmn.com/help-racket-...

I finally got around to subscribing to racketmn.com thanks to their spring membership drive. Great reporting, great deal! Help get their member count up!

This is such an exciting project! And such a bummer of a setback.

Not prophetic. Writing aboard the ship (but sent before it left port?), the author reserves judgment on the new ship. He didn't say, "In 5 days I'll be on a lifeboat because this ship is going down." He says, "seems OK so far but we'll see." Probably like travelers on other (not disastrous) trips.

I wrote a film score for @filmscorefest.bsky.social! It premiered in a live concert this weekend! It’s five minutes long! It starts at 38:00! www.youtube.com/live/yk4ugVJ...

Dumbest timeline.

"You've been chosen," the spirit said. "What?" "Save the world, make it kinder, cleaner, safer." "Me?" "Yes." "Alone?" "We chose everyone." #CrossRepost

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Dinosaurs, the animatronic puppet sitcom from The Jim Henson Company, premiered on this day in 1991 📺

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

What ever happened to the plan to have MMA fighters train the FBI? I miss the days when that seemed crazy.

Abolish April Fool’s day. Society has moved past the need for April Fool’s day

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Thread of good news sources.

Jim Thatcher's birthday today. Co-developed one of the first screen readers, #accessibility champion, friend who taught me so much. Here's what I wrote when he died in 2019. www.lflegal.com/2019/12/jim-... #a11y #disability #JimThatcher
