Part of why the roll over and play dead strategy is shit. He is 78. Any way to make the job more stressfull is legal and good

Well, your problem is believing that the human body was designed, chief.

Let's travel back to the late 1980s (or early 90s). A 2019 article from TetZoo: Recollections of Dinosaurs Past and Present, the 1980s Exhibition.... tetzoo.com/blog/2019/2/... #palaeoart #paleoart

He's already been ID'd www.reddit.com/r/Political_...

also, just to shout it out, OUR PRESIDENT IS A CORRUPT RAPIST

Republicans don’t want more “parents” at home. They want women at home, out of the public sphere, economically dependent on men for their whole lives— permanently relegated to second class citizens. Fixed it for you, NYT.

Every few months I participate in normal America by eating at a chain restaurant or seeing news on the TV at an airport or hearing the radio while I get my oil changed and I've sort of hit my limit, no one should have to live like this, exposed to endless psychic damage, not even Americans

ITS STILL A BASE TARIFF OF 30% YOU DINGUSES

Nothing makes me more of a "destroy all nations" anarchist than the hate for migrants and refugees the world 'round.

Immigration is the topic that makes me feel the most gaslit. Where are these people? How are people saying the process is easy? Every migrant I know has paid thousands and waited years to get citizenship? And if you come in illegally that's one of the bravest and hardest things a person can do?

Seven-year-old Mary Walker has all the wit, bluntness and evil instincts of a top-tier bully, but experts say she is unlikely to ever fulfil her potential, due to other children being able to smell the autism on her.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

Like I said, things bode ill for your society when people start feeling like they’re being actively punished for being honest and hardworking

Soft launching burrowcore, the aesthetic that's all about digging a dark hole in the earth and just going in there

it’s absolutely intentional. federal employment was one of the largest drivers of the growing black middle class, especially post jim crow

Just want to point that if I, a teacher, told my class that the new pope was appointed because the old one had been eaten by owls, and then explained the error by saying, "Oh, yeah, I was just hallucinating, I do that sometimes," I would not be allowed to teach children anymore.

just a random prediction but i bet Affirm takes a bath on this deal - Costco is the exact type of retailer whose customers will rarely default on payments and generate interest/penalties, but has tons of cheapskates with good credit who will take advantage of effectively interest-free loans

Maybe, just maybe, arresting a popular mayor was as ill thought out and self defeating as it looked.

Allison Riggs was confirmed the winner of the NC State Supreme Court election, and Griffin finally conceded; seems he didn't want to risk taking it all the way up to SCOTUS. Just case anybody missed that bit of good news out of NC.

Holy shit. ICE just arrested the mayor of Newark pix11.com/news/local-n...

I don’t see it but I’ll share anyway

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

I’ve been screen grabbing MAGA hot takes re: the new Pope. You? 1/

Deep breaths. Let me play some soothing ukulele for you while I teach you how to disable message previews on your phone so cops and nosy roommates can’t see who is messaging you even when your phone is locked 😘

This is incredible. This computer science professor makes his students play a game that simulates the risks and repercussions of getting Long COVID, and then he's like, hey anybody want a mask? And: "approximately 95 to 100% of students who’ve played the game now wear masks in his classroom."

It's looking more and more like someone at @noaa.gov is going through the datasets that can confirm how extraordinary our weather has become due to climate change and deleting them one by one.

Rewatching Sinners and I can’t help but notice there’s a tax guy in the credits named Michael B Johnson

Maybe if we, as a whole, would stop voting for exclusively conservatives who are openly against our ballot initiatives ON THE SAME DAMN BALLOT.

Minnesota’s MMR vaccination rate is the fourth worst in the country, and more parents are getting exemptions for the vaccine.

We can flip some if we run candidates who follow the tried-and-true strategy of "attack, attack, attack" instead of the proven-loser of "emphasize your common ground with Republicans."

all facebook is now is the dumbest people you know resharing stuff like this and thinking it’s real

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

32 stars on the flag. Which 18 states seceded?

In case this is useful information to anyone I know, the American Musical Theater Archives youtube channel has a huge assortment of clips and entire shows from American Musical Theater (back to Gold Diggers of 1929!).

Dr. Toni Morrison on white women - a whole damn read:

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

There's a bit in a documentary, I think the BBC's Nazis a warning from history, where they interview a Norwegian woman about what it was like under Nazi occupation, she says it was terrible, then they start reading out all the reports she sent in to the Nazis about a woman she didn't like.

My dear friend Jill Sobule died today in a house fire in Minneapolis. She was fierce, funny, passionate & dedicated to justice. She wrote wonderful songs & played a mean guitar. This hurts. I'll miss her greatly. She once let me perform this Warren Zevon tune w/ her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7NL...

Can't think of a better way to honor Jill Sobule than having spent the day kissing my girlfriend.
