Mayor Adams is wearing his “in god we trust” American flag shirt once again. But this time it’s written in Italian. He says it’s Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.

I thought this pig boy’s whole deal was that he is descended from hillbillies, the peasantry of Appalachia. (I don’t mean that disparagingly, but JD does.)

bela lugosi is Spanish for "beautiful lego yes"

I've been watching some early Frank Capra films, made before the crash of 1929, which I always think of as the "start" of the Great Depression. Yet these films from 1928 have a lot of the hallmarks of "Depression stories." That level of desperation was already present everywhere in America.

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl. yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’. no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earth’s magnetic fields, defying the odds

Glad to see we’re addressing the root cause of all of this: Luther’s heresy

“Since you cannot see into the future, you simply proceed to put one stone on top of another, and another on top of that. If the stones get knocked down, you begin again, because if you don’t nothing will get built.” - Mary-Wynne Ashford

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

Made a post about What Worked and What Didn't at last night's Climate Change Crafting night! Every time I run a new type of event, I learn something. I write these posts almost like a lab notebook so YOU can run science community events wherever YOU are! Read here: www.patreon.com/posts/126134...

OPINION: "In the ancient Roman world…biological sex and gender expression did not always line up as neatly as the president is demanding to see in today’s government," Tom Sapsford writes.

There is absolutely no way the US can host the World Cup or the Olympics

We used to have Bob Eggs, Steve Nintendo, Johnny No Plane Crash. No we have no eggs, no Nintendo, many plane crash.

They just played this song and guy had his hand over his heart

This is the start of something nowhere near the end. But protests signal that we are not alone in upset. Say 70% of these people never pick up a sign again. Say only 50% ever make a phone call. Say only 10% or 5% get training to do more. That’s a movement. That’s history.

ok look guys i don't blame anyone for being upset but "we've lived through so many recessions" is shaping up to be the #1 vector for millennial hose posting and we need to put ourselves on notice

I followed this starter pack a few weeks ago and it was a great choice. Lots of beautifully photographed birds.

We had to ask him to stop tbh

today is the trans day of visibility and now is a good time to remember that trans people built this place into what it is I would not have made this my new internet home if I had not met so many kind, wonderful trans people here and made friends with them let them live their damn lives in peace

Today's Chronicle Review piece by Brian Rosenberg (president emeritus of Macalester) is exactly right. Columbia's leaders failed the test they were given, but higher ed--especially Columbia's "peer" institutions--failed Columbia, and by extension, all of higher ed. www.chronicle.com/article/colu...

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

my friend saw an incredible garbage truck today

Behold, per inbox, "the first ever bed design[ed] for non-monogamy": first of all, I'd say all beds work for non-monogamy; second, good god look at it

BREAKING: Oklahoma Pride Alliance has announced they will NOT be allowing Starbucks to participate in Oklahoma City's pride events. OK Pride Alliance president Kylan Durant wrote "Pride... should not be co-opted by companies & organizations that refuse to acknowledge the voice of their workers." 👏

GREAT news everyone! The Onion is hiring! For a bunch of new positions. Sports Editor (yes, we're bringing it back): jobs.gusto.com/postings/the... Entertainment Editor (going harder here too): jobs.gusto.com/postings/the... And a Staff Writer (!): jobs.gusto.com/postings/the... Apply or die!

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
