Lmao the worm absolutely told RFK to jump in Shit Creek because it was getting lonely and needed a friend

Hot chocolate sauce; poached pears; vanilla ice cream: together they make for deep delight and #RecipeOfTheDay! (I must confess that I have a soft spot for quick pears Belle Hélène using ones from a tin, too.) www.nigella.com/recipes/pear...

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

why the fuck didn’t they just call this “CAULIFLOUR”

I śaw this photo of an alligator (left) and a crocodile (right) and someone commented that they hate that the snouts are reversed. The alligator's forms a "C" while the crocodile's forms an "A." This will forever be how I remember how to distinguish between them. Follow me for more useless tips.

Good Friday is the story of a man unjustly arrested and rushed to judgment. Diana Butler Bass tells it for our time, using only pictures from the last two weeks, and it hits so heavy open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

NEW: The CFPB has been gutted. More than 1,400 workers received RIF notices this afternoon, agency sources tell me. Around 200 employees are left. www.wired.com/story/cfpb-h...

NBC News EXCLUSIVE: A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

There will be lots of people who have previously been complicit who will find some courage, realize a line has been crossed, want to act. It’s gonna piss me off to welcome them but we’re gonna have to do it.

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear. His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking. ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "It's easy to be negative about everything when you've never fixed anything...Negative slogans aren't solutions...Division isn't strength. Negativity won't win a trade war...Negativity won't bring down the price of groceries."
