Weird. Only thing I can think of that would cause this is the announcement that they're officially shutting down the DOE and the protests they'd expect? It's probably something worse though. Lol.

Barrten and Robin is free today. If you're in the mood for a quick sci-fi romance read that, as a bonus, contains a vampire, check out this novella. It's a campy, B-movie-style novella that is goofy fun and outside of the series' plot. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRFG1CZF

The collective net worth of America's 813 billionaires hit a staggering $6.72 TRILLION at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans hold $3.7T in wealth. Once again: It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

this is the reason that i yell so much about literacy. this is the most important issue in our time. every time you have a dumb argument on the internet, consider that there is a high possibility that the person legitimately struggles with reading comprehension. consider that you might as well.

Okay, I promised a thread with some of the interesting takeaways from this story. Let me give it a shot! 🧵 To begin: Carolina & Black-capped Chickadees look very similar but they AREN'T each other's closest relatives; the Black-capped Chickadee's "sister species" is actually the Mountain Chickadee.
