Seth Encounter. 1/2

Big kitty. Panthera atrox was an Ice Age relatives of today’s lions. Large individuals could be eight feet long from their snout to the base of their tail and weigh half a ton. The carnivores lived in the same habitats as sabercats like Smilodon and other felids like large jaguars. 🧪

NEW: While House Republicans are grappling with Trump's Iran stance, Republicans in the Senate are full steam ahead. Elizabeth Warren said "There's evidently a serious medical problem with the Senate Republicans. They've all had their spines removed." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts granted class status to trans people in the passport gender marker change case and extended the prelim. injunction to the class. Trans people will be able to update their gender markers on their passports immediately. ecf.mad.uscourts.gov/doc1/0951130...

Don't Rank Cuomo. His absence from No Kings day and the rally for Brad tells you all you need to know about he will buckle before Trump. @bkindivisible.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social

🐊 It is world croc day! 🐊

Trump Mobile ad leaked...

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

She inhaled trace amounts of empathy and her body went into anaphylactic shock.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

Meanwhile in Japan, Honda has joined the reusable first stage Launch and Landing fun :) source: global.honda/en/topics/20...

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

Man what a fucking real dude. 'I just got choked by some chud and honestly, anything could have happened in that moment, and now I'm up here talking about the man who isn't as lucky as me.'

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Lunch possum I decided to tighten up at home.

as of this reading, the allegedly anti Jew muslim candidate has been repeatedly calling for his release and the alleged saviour of NYC Jews Andrew Cuomo hasn't said shit

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

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

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

"It's bullshit," Gov. Hochul says of the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander by ICE. She says she will call him when he's out of detention. "But what about all the people who don't have that high profile position?"

Kathy fuckin Hochul talking like this they are going to drag Dem politicians kicking and screaming into actual resistance out of self-preservation if nothing else

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants. This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I had a Shout Factory stream of Pee-Wee's Playhouse on yesterday while doing other things and realized Pee Wee had Kewpie mayonnaise in his fridge. Paul Reubens had good taste for the 80s. I miss him so much.

I wrote about the No Kings protest in downtown L.A. and the people who took it upon themselves to give out free water, snacks and sunscreen to strangers.

What is common knowledge in your field, but. shocks outsiders? The entire internet runs without rules, just a few agreements called RFCs, "Request For Comments". The World Wide Web on top of the internet is just a few *optional* standard practices maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium, W3C.

One month apart.

New exoplanet classification just dropped 🔭🧪 xkcd.com/3103/

When I was on New Looney Tunes years ago, I stumbled upon a folder on the WB server filled with tons of Dan Haskett designs for a new T&J feature, where they meet the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Assumed it was for another DTV feature and just died in development. Wonder if it was for this?

ol' anomalocaris (with a bunch of liberties taken i just wanted to draw it pretty)

Bluesky is dying... or Bluesky helped create one of the most effective spontaneous protest movements of the year?

Trump’s energy policies will sharply raise Americans’ energy bills, boost inflation, undermine U.S. competitiveness in the fast-growing clean energy sector, and severely increase the risk of nuclear accidents. Commentary ⤵️

daki-style? did I get it?

meridian.allenpress.com/ajidd/articl... I read a new ABA research paper about how to enforce 'correct' play for autistic children (!). It relied heavily on this paper, from 2020, for its main views. It tells us that happiness is believed to be irrelevant as an outcome of play. What on earth....

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Isaac Asimov was such a perv people were literally assigned at conventions to stand between him and women fans to prevent his incessant groping

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

The Trump Admin wants to bring back asbestos! You can’t make this shit up. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Apparently cops saw Vance Boelter sitting in his faux cop car near another Minnesota state rep’s home an hour before he murdered Melissa Hortman and her husband and those cops just let him go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Zoom, c'est fantastique Letchworth State Park, NY

this guy's brain is cooked and the press refusing to call it out is a historical abdication of duty
