They screwed this all up.

This Wall Street Journal video about the cost of military deportation flights is one of the wildest things I've seen in a while. It cost $2.8 million—with 2 in-air refuelings!—to deport 104 people to India on February 4. $27,000 per deported person. www.wsj.com/video/analys...

Perhaps it wasn’t a good week to watch Civil War (not the marvel one). It was satisfying to see the end, though.

happy sunday?

omg guys, stop what you're doing again, and look at THIS baby now!

Elephant calf update: very baby

look im happy for anyone who wanted to get ahead of their taxes but there's no way i'm filing anything early. the concept of taxes might not exist by april

oh my god?

Fun facts about ducks: - 14% are named Doug - most can grow antlers, but choose not to - their mastery of dark magic is unparalleled amongst waterfowl - if ducks were larger, they would destroy you - few are poisonous, but most have a scathing wit & a love of gin

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

If you have a roku there’s this channel on the free roku tv app called “how it’s made” that’s just manufacturing processes explained, and they show all the super-specialized machines that make the candies or lipsticks or whatever and it’s just what I need rn.

they should invent unprecedented times that are good

Reminder to those who need it: 1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here 2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm 3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

I know this is unrelatable, but I love eggplant.

Organizing, Diabetes, or Witches…. Choose your poison.

This is the most insane house I've ever seen, like Randyland and the Winchester mansion had a baby. At no point did I know what was coming in the next picture, nor could I guess the next line in the description. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

I’m getting excited it’s almost sport season. Meaning, baseball and soccer. None of this football business. Spring=sports season.

Elon & Zuckerberg being such standout losers, despite having disgusting amounts of power reeeeaaallly makes you wonder about these “powerful men” throughout history. Was Alexander the Great an insufferable dork? Marcus Aurelius an utter goon? Ramses II an unendurable bore?

NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts during the World Series have been banned from all MLB games.

Taking in animals if you can is a small and wonderful thing you can do. Some orgs are looking for fosters for animals already in care to make room, others are seeking temp foster for displaced pets. Animal sheltering can be really stressful during climate disasters!

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed. Please consider helping:

Jury duty today. Because I was here just over two years ago for a week, I got the process down. First one in, got a great seat with electricity and a real table.

This is a really interesting read on lead poisoning in the Roman Empire.

If you’re not watching Muster Dogs, an Australian reality show about training working herding dogs, you’re missing out (the first season is on Netflix in the U.S.)

You really get a wide swath of personalities at the IKEA. Almost makes the visit tolerable. I always leave that place like an energy vampire sucked the life outta me. Got some cute bedding, though!

Furiously liking every post that makes fun of how Bob Dylan talks.
