9 months old baby horse sees sea for the first time

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

I genuinely don’t get what is supposed to be cool about Nazis for these people. Mass murder, the destruction of Europe and they all came to a bad end. NOBODY BENEFITED.

here is a cartoon from 2017 about falling into the "it's just a distraction" trap

from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee

One of the actions here is to support actions even if you’re skeptical that they’ll work. I feel that way about many of the rest on the list. Which is why I like this list. There isn’t a clear path now. Risk time on that which may fail. Really.

The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does. This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency. bit.ly/3Ex744a follow @everylibrary.bsky.social to stay informed!

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

Perfect takedown

One of many things I hate about certain idiots in power is that they could say the sky is purple and the headlines would be “Scientists weigh in on purple sky controversy”

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Happy owl getting some love..🦉😊

I just realized I am in full blown panic mode I’m so good at masking I fooled even myself

Man f#%^ metafilter I think I am finally done.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Every commercial for AI is basically “look, you’re a fucking moron, but we’ll help you fake it!” and it feels like they really do get their target audience.

NEW: There's been a 51-percent drop in injuries an a 55-percent drop in crashes year-over-year within the congestion relief zone in just the first 12 days of the program. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/23/c...

Awww cute ça veut annexer le Canada, mais ça a peur du froid. www.lapresse.ca/internationa...

Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.

January is not the month for resolutions. We’re all sick, exhausted, cold, broke, depressed and back at work against our will. January *is* the month for outrageous Victorian self-care rituals, because who needs a new gym membership when you can just take a good turn about the room for your agonies.

sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers

Going into 2025 like…

Let’s go full dessert mode on BlueSky Best pie: Apple Best ice cream: peach (but I can’t find it anywhere in NYC) Best donut: Dough shop, hibiscus Best bar: lemon bars Best cake: angel food with strawberries and whipped cream Best other: chocolate truffles

I watched the 1932 Frank Capra movie Forbidden and can’t stop thinking about it. Barbara Stanwyck is great, she makes some bad decisions but owns them all the way. #oldmovies #criterionchannel #barbarastanwyck #frankcapra

No.

I don't often write about such thrilling topics as supply chain logistics, but I made an exception here to write about the Saba Grocer Initiative, an incred Oakland org that's making it super easy for corner stores in redlined neighborhoods to stock fresh produce www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/sole...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx
