There's no excuse for someone who's supposed to be representing millions of New Yorkers to say that the problem is "not enough Christianity" (though if NY lost senators every time one did something that should be disqualifying, we'd have nothing but a smoking crater where Schumer used to be).

someone on this app every day, for some reason: being rich and evil is like a MENTAL DISABILITY. rich evil people do things which make me think they have COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS. when i see a rich evil person i see someone who has EXPERIENCED HEAD TRAUMA. i am a progressive

What is #2026MMM 's official stance on the Pokemon fandom always preferring the mammalian starter?

We're all worried about the cute puppy going bipedal, but does no one share my concern that they're going to make the gecko sexy? Please don't make the gecko sexy. We already have a sexy lizard Pokemon and she's fabulous.

#2026MMM fans, did you know I’ve been proclaimed patron saint of the 15-2 upset? I proclaimed it myself, of course, but that’s only because @mammalssuck.bsky.social and the Catholic Church won’t return my calls.

"I don't have a horse in this race" / "I don't have a dog in this fight" = normal "I don't have a dog in this race" = sounds off but kinda makes sense, there's greyhound racing etc. "I don't have a horse in this fight" = fucking hilarious

Why are genetics experts advertising with not only AI slop, but AI slop with a huge, obvious error in the structure of DNA

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast! Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑

Do I know any journalists or news outlets who might be willing to write an article about the months I’ve spent begging GoFundMe to release the funds I’ve raised? I wish this were more common knowledge so no one else finds themselves in this position. (Please boost!)

A lot of acknowledgement these days that "the lefties were right", "the alarmists were right", but you know what else? College students circa 2015 were right. They put up with endless bullshit from the "adults in the room" about how they were stupid snowflakes for calling out inequities (1/3)

What really gets me is the gap between the fantasy world that was popularized in the 2010s, where college students were too coddled to understand that a university is a place for challenging ideas, and actual reality, where a university isn't allowed to "challenge" state-approved dogma.

Hiya creeps, Your friend T.C.K. has come down with a case of the crypt crud. I've been a little out of it and -- #TEAMHIPPO 2026?? HOT DIGGITY DAFFODIL! #2026MMM

one thing I love about law & order is the cops are reacting to fairly mundane things as if they're brand new concepts. like they'll be at a doctor's office talking about egg freezing and someone will say, in the most brooklyn accent possible, "you're telling me that freezer's got BABIES in it?"

I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...

Here's my commonsense reform for ICE, Chuck: 1) Abolish the agency 2) Prosecute all agents & leadership to the fullest extent possible (incl. Noem & Miller) 3) Bar all former agents from any federal jobs going forward, whether it's a law enforcement position or otherwise

Anybody else have a common misconception that is your nemesis? Mine is "mosquitoes (/ticks/whatever) contribute nothing to the ecosystem". It's not true. It's a nonsensical statement. It sends me into a rage state. What's yours? Has it made in onto Wikipedia? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

An absolute legend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVoj...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Tambaryuu No Chi-tan, a dinosaur whose stripes are layers of rock with fossils inside, is the mascot for Tamba City, where dinosaur bones were dug up.

For too long, a badge has been a permission slip to commit murder. ICE agents. NYPD. Over and over and over again. It's all reckless state violence, and until the individuals and agencies face real consequences, it will not stop. NO MORE state-sanctioned murder.

It’s too bad that “source?” has become internet shorthand for “I don’t believe you” rather than “I am interested in reading more on this topic, in the context that you encountered it, and also, search engines suck shit now”

Absolutely devastating news about James Ransone. I don't even know what to say. Sending all my love to those who knew & loved him.

Rian Johnson bringing his own copy of RAVENOUS to put onto the Criterion Collection shelf is probably the best thing that’s going to happen to me this week. youtu.be/U2plMSuOgrI

YOU: I am horrified and disgusted at this thing the government is doing SOME GUY, APPEARING FROM THE WAINSCOTING: you’re SURPRISED that the government does bad things?? YOU: I didn’t sa— SOME GUY: hey everyone, this NAIVE BABY BORN YESTERDAY is SURPRISED that the government is bad

me: I think I will purchase some ATHLETIC GEAR for a LOVED ONE as a HOLIDAY GIFT my bank's fraud department: YOU HAVE NEVER 🚨 DONE ANYTHING ATHLETIC 🚨 IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE 🚨 CLEARLY THIS WAS THE WORK OF A VILLAIN

U.S. violence is only bad when it departs from its supposedly noble purpose... The implication being America is fundamentally good, its military is fundamentally virtuous, and deviations from that virtue are shocking. This is not the case nor the perception of anyone living outside of America.

"If you joined the Do Legal Violence Club and find you have been asked to do *il*legal violence, call this hotline..." I appreciate the spirit of these posts but feel that their audience may be limited.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

It also speaks to a mental calculus- I have heard people say “X’s work is not good enough to put up with X’s behavior” and that makes me think…so there ARE people whose work is good enough for you to put up with their behavior? What’s unacceptable to you is predicated on how talented the person is??

8. Evil city / pure countryside is an example of what Jeremy Lent calls a “root metaphor”: an idea so deeply implanted in our minds that we don’t even recognise it as an idea.

I've gone back and forth on whether to post about this -- part of me that is so, so tired of flaying open the details of our grief just to beg the world to care. They killed my friend. They fucking killed him. His wife is struggling immensely to feed their children. Anything you can donate helps.

Honestly all former and present members of the US military should probably ask themselves this more often. (PS. Sorry, not American, don't need to 'respect the troops')

it's baby 🥹

The arc of the moral universe is a warped 2x4; sometimes you have to put your entire weight on it, maybe jump up and down a few times, to get it to bend towards justice

god i fucking hate to see all these piece of shit libs be like "Mr Hegseth SIR you are INSULTING the proud traditions of Our Men In Uniform and desecrating the memories of their many noble actions at such legendary locations as Bud Dajo, Hiroshima, My Lai, Haditha, so on, so forth"

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

The idea that kids and teens are to blame for acts of fascism and censorship because the state or corporations say they’re doing it in the name of “child-friendliness” is so ass-backwards. You’re targeting the people with the least social power in this situation.
