I like how they put "Labrador" and "Newfoundland," etc. in quotes.

I can't be the only one who is made /uncomfortable/ by the way that razor clams burrow into sand, right? The final moments of this video by Kate Crump on the Oregon coastline are sort of the crowning glory of horror. 😬 But how does this even work? Let's talk about bivalve mobility (if we must).

Don't worry! That sound you hear in the darkness is merely the deer slithering

You’ve seen cat bleps. Maybe you’ve even seen dog bleps. But have seen A DONKEY BLEP? George was just wondering.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

every time you are tempted to read an article or watch a video clip of the State of the Union tomorrow you should dip into this and watch 5-20 minutes of some fabulously charismatic maniac having Big Feelings about something via PowerPoint, it will improve your life on every level

Possibly the first time I've been pro-Ayotte

It's bad enough to be killed by an autonomous weapon but imagine being killed by one name Claude

People who didn’t grow up in New England don’t understand the place the Blizzard of ‘78 has in our historical understanding. It’s up there with like, 1776 and the Magna Carta for world foundational events.

This is one of the best threads I've ever read. It explains a lot about early Michigan genealogy, as well. Brava!

Imagine being so dissatisfied with near-constant games, walks, toys, cuddles, food, and affection you still spend every moment you receive all of those things with a face like this pushing for more.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

What's going on with these music stands?

NOOOOOOOO SAY IT ISN'T TRUE WE DON'T CLAIM HIM

I was just talking to a non-musician friend about how the institutional structures of learning classical music support this kind of abuse. Unfuckingconscionable anywhere, and Interlochen as the place where you go as a teen when you’re Serious About The Dream feels a very specific kind of vile.

Just saw that Boston might get between 13-16 inches of snow on Sunday, rolled my eyes and got back into bed.
