If this goes through and they move matches to red states, FIFA will FAFO

this shit is just beyond parody, man

A Tufted Titmouse looking adorable and completely unbothered by the wind and the snow.

I just found out there is a BEAUTIFUL senior cat named MRS. DOUBTFIRE up for adoption in Centre County, Pennsylvania! So, of course, I had to spread the word. If you’re in Central Pennsylvania, please help this elegant lady find a home! centrecountypaws.org/cats/adopt

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88

We at the Review mourn the loss of Tom Stoppard (1937–2025). In celebration of his life and work, we’ve unlocked his Art of Theater interview from the archive. buff.ly/0waMbzK

VP JD Vance stood before a crowd and tried to falsify history, claiming Christians ended widespread mass child-sacrifice practices among Native Americans

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

I think people's interest in this DC-journo train wreck is understandable (and so is the desire to unsee it); I hope folks understand that it's not a soap opera and, in fact, the reason it's so grotesque is that the people involved are treating it like one.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

The union is calling, Starbucks! Pick up the phone!

A male Eastern Bluebird heading out to join the rest of the flock.

I closed social media for like three hours and the Pope threw a rave, MTG resigned, and Trump endorsed Mamdani before Chuck Schumer did? Now accepting bribes to close social media for all of next week

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation. If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch. So who could you support?

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

A male Northern Cardinal perches on a mossy log for a moment before heading off to a berry bush.

Ay me, detested! How am I beguil’d!

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

god trump so clearly thinks mamdani is an alpha and is ingratiating himself

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

Mamdani getting Trump to back down & even *compliment* him costs Mamdani absolutely nothing (& indeed actually shows his skills) & probably also saves a lot of vulnerable ppl in this city a trememndous amount of pain if it means Trump is less inclined to act shitty towards us bc of this meeting

I was expecting a Showdown with Socialism.

Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

I don’t know how many times UFW has sued the federal government this year, but it seems like a lot

I’ve seen this with Xinjiang. Meanwhile Xinjiang scholars have taken risks to talk about this because the Islamophobia is so potent and toxic

The Trump-Putin deal has more about building AI data centers in both Ukraine and Russia than it does about military positions to deter Russia from attacking again later. I'm not kidding.

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Turner was the first ‘modern’ painter; who directly inspired the impressionism of the 19thC and presaged the abstract expressionism of the 20thC. 'Evening Star,' (1830) is all the proof you need.

It truly takes a village to save a species! Howls of thanks to Pilots To The Rescue for providing safe and stress-free transport to Caroline, Jacques, Martha and her family.🐺 🔗 Watch the full video: https://www.fox5ny.com/video/1743752

I went to Roanoke to witness a community's attempt to care for *everyone* in it, and to see how residents are demanding accountability from their elected officials. (Also, great news: @bethmacy.bsky.social is running for Congress!)

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

So this is happening outside of the Heritage Foundation right now "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE! Fuck Project 2025! Fuck Alligator Alcatraz!"

There’s no way this is real

I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

My brain’s not well at all today-depression, but I made this photo to try to lift my dark thoughts & have hidden a tiny owl in it. If you find it &/or your brain likes this image maybe let me know below? Connecting with other humans is another way to lift very low mood 🌿

One of my favorite Winter birds, the cute and round Winter Wren. They look very similar to the Eurasian Wren and the Pacific Wren. These three birds were considered the same species until a split in 2010.

“I am so tired of this damn war,” says the Ukrainian tabby.

A wolf caught on camera in BC was seen using a tool to open a crab trap, potentially the first documented instance of a wild wolf using a tool!🐺 Wolves are already known for their intelligence, but seeing this level of planning and precision in action is truly remarkable. 🔗 bit.ly/47MvxPg

i will kind of accept this from some random person who barely pays attention. ben shapiro though? he's just lying

Given the recent Wapo opeds I've read I'm genuinely surprised they haven't said the MBS did the right thing by having Khashoggi killed.
