What if we kissed at the Dolphin Pasta Buffet?

Happy Pride Bluesky ❤️

Scientists, I know y’all are busy turning lead into gold or whatever but can somebody work on making a cat toy that doesn’t do this? Like with, I don’t know, magnets or something?

First, it’s crack in our inner cities, now in our bond markets? Is there anything the CIA won’t stoop to?

Sometimes I can’t believe that MASH was as good as I remember. Then I see clips and realize it was better.

So seldom is there a story about Musk that bothers to mention the fact that DOGE is an fake agency, it has no legitimate claim to power, and thus it has no real head, every act it undertakes is automatically illegal and corrupt, and all of its "employees" are criminals.

Human beings: animals not amendable to a holographic description.

New FOREVER WARS is about question I can’t get out of my mind since I saw the little girl in the burning school yesterday.

Happy birthday Pam Grier 🎂 She's on slate duty, & Quentin Tarantino is loving it! 🎬 A great shot by Darren Michaels of the cast & crew on the set of Jackie Brown, 1997 #filmsky

I promised God as long as He took care of my needs, I would be a good steward of all He gave to me. But Im only JUST learning, as an adult, why every religion speaks against that gluttony. It is poison.

Imagine if every headline was even just like the one on the left. If all coverage was. He wouldn’t have even won in 2016

Oh, and can NOT ever forget THOT SQUAD and Sophie Hunter. Life-changing shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaa6...

Touching 1966 photo of supermodel Twiggy at home with her long-haired tuxedo kitty. The swingin' details are a delight: the wicker saucer chair with the clown doll, the radio and phonograph, the boxy little purse, the sewing basket and shag throw rug. #Caturday

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

I love it when the season-long plot lines finally converge

Happy birthday Taj Mahal 🎂 📷 Herb Greene "I'm a man who's having a love affair with the kind of music I play, and the music I'm really in love with is freaky, old‐time music, the real stuff." "Catfish Blues" www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYc7...

pretty much this. I think at this point we are all used to being blamed for suffering from the problems the people blaming us caused

as a 3rd amendment absolutist i don't believe it is legal to quarter soldiers anywhere. including barracks. the entire armed forces should be sleeping rough in the woods or skid row at all times.

A New Zealand parliamentary committee has recommended the unprecedented suspensions of three Māori lawmakers for performing a protest haka in the debating chamber last year.

A question that will be at least as important as how to reclaim political power in America will be how to convince people to go back to acting in their own interests. A significant number of Americans look at what’s happening right now, the lawlessness the corruption, and don’t see a problem.

Even if it's true, it's hard to go out there and say "Gaza didn't sway the election" because people often interpret it as saying "Gaza doesn't matter" when the point you're actually making is "people suck."

We know we’re not standing up to him, but he shouldn’t 𝘚𝘈𝘠 that.

I listened to the audiobook of Barbra Streisand's autobiography... mainly because Babs herself reads it aloud! 15 hours of La Streisand talking about her epic career & life & lovers, with many asides and additional comments from her. Great stuff. And Bezos wants to replace this with fucking AI?

Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder, a man who never feared to explore new sounds. 🎹 👑

This story about British troops routinely murdering children came out yesterday and hardly made a ripple - now it's all but disappeared. I suppose the BBC will be able to say: 'Yeah, we covered that...' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

That look you get from generative AI imagery is 100% the new aesthetic of fascism

"Mr. Preisdent, we know exactly how to achieve equity and equality." "No, I don't want to do that. Let's do my stupid plan instead and call it equalizing."

“After library officials resisted, the DOJ officials departed without resolving the conflict.” One of those sentences that tells you who and where we are as a country in 2025: librarians are braver than law firms and CEOs.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

This is a huge story. The AI bros want to access all the copyrighted works on the planet to train their LLMs without any payments to authors. It’s blatant theft of intellectual property on a massive scale.

1985 CBS executives: YES!

Happy Cartoonists’ Day!!! Love y’all

Apparently before the St. Lawrence Seaway opened when they wanted to get large ships into the Great Lakes they just brought them up the Mississippi and shoved them through the Chicago River

Lab director: Hey so, you guys haven't been doing anything to piss off the gods, right? Me: no LD: nothing Forbidden. Me: no! LD: because I don't know how often you read the news lately, Me: *nervous* haha yeah the Chicago Pope LD: No? I mean the- *13 solid gold pebbles fall out of my pocket*
