The funniest part of this is acetaminophen is the (perfectly safe) drug. Tylenol is a *brand*, and by attacking the brand and not the drug, the US government has just given Kenvue a massive gift when this goes to court. Their lawyers are likely drooling right now.

Stupid should hurt more.

We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

It's like Whack-a-mole, but I keep blocking them.

Holy shit

It’s going to happen someday and people are going to celebrate and anybody who wants to scold that celebration had best be prepared to fight.

Another example of the same phenomenon; they are killing people so they can make videos of them killing people. There is not actually any policy that Venezuela or Colombia can enact to satisfy them, because the purpose is just content creation. Podcasters with the power of the Federal government.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

I do think MAGA managed to make the Kirk assassination their 9/11 Not in the sense they wanted, but in the sense that they took their brief window of public sympathy and strip-mined it so totally that everyone hates them even more, now

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

Just over on @cnn.com leaning into #newspeak But enlighten us. What exactly is a “chief loyalty enforcer?”

Nothing but a big Klan rally.

I prefer triaxial tips

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

Kirk was a nobody to normal people, but it's now clear how important he was to the right. The dream of post-Steve Bannon conservativism: An influencer presidential candidate. A homegrown Trump. The panic we're seeing is a movement realizing they have nothing to replace Trump's cult of personality.

Fuck this. This is how Confederates were allowed to sabotage Reconstruction. Imagine if Germany played nice with the "good" Nazis after WWII. I don't care if they were useful idiots. They have set the US on a dangerous path that will take a generation to repair. They should live in shame.

My friend sent birthday cards from Michigan to another friend in Denmark. USPS opened them before they sent them on. But don't call them fascist. It hurts their feelings.

Beautiful #Ediacaran fossil light on the E surface at Mistaken Point 🤩

When everything is completely legitimate.

The writers have gotten lazy this season. Willow Bay. Will O Bay. Will Obey.

We had a visitor today.

Stephen Miller talks like he was kicked in the head by an especially racist mule

Monstrocrinus incognatus, a Middle #Devonian #crinoid from #Brazil, Europe and (ambiguously) Algeria. Their characteristic spines are hypothesised to have server anti-predation, hydrodynamics and ✨Aesthetic✨purposes... ...I may or may not have made one of those up. #Sciart #Paleoart

This is why I got my Covid booster last weekend. I still got questioned about pre-existing conditions. I hope Secretary Brainworm never has a moment of peace for the rest of his miserable life.

Today marks 8 years when I started this project and lost my damn mind. Please enjoy this thread.

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

Remember back in Trump’s first term, when he repeatedly praised Duterte and other despots who executed suspected drug dealers? Well…

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

This is an undescribed lungfish tooth plate from the Devonian Genshaw Fm. near Alpena, Michigan. It's such a strange piece. Most fish material from this area has a bluish tint which you can see near the bottom. #FossilFriday

Platycerid snails are often found attached to crinoid calyxes as coprophages (they ate waste). A few species had long spines. These are from the Devonian Arkona Fm. of Ontario. #FossilFriday

Hi! How’s your work day going? ☺️🎨 This new 30”x30” will be part of the series of paintings I’m releasing at the end of Sept. Email list gets first dibs, & sign-up is on my website. tishamark.com [Song credit: “Breathe” by White Lies - I listen to this band a lot when I paint.] #art #painting

This is beautiful.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Stopped at a new comic store this week and picked up a couple back issues. Detective Comics #471 - 1st Modern appearance of Hugo Strange Swamp Thing Annual #2 - Cameo of Justice League Dark

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Watching the United States deliberately kneecap itself is so painful. We’re going to be a much poorer country, all because the elites chose white supremacy as their number one main goal, instead of general prosperity.

This week’s #FossilFriday features a very cool opalised dinosaur femur, belonging to an Early Cretaceous Australian ornithopod (Click the image to see it in full detail) #PaleoSky ⚒️🦕

Real skull of Sue the T. rex!! Did you know the one on the full display is a cast that removed the distortion due to crushing that we see here. #FossilFriday ⚒️🧪🦖

Fossil Friday flashback to Lyme Regis 2024 and one of the displays I’m most proud of, homaging Mary Anning, Walking With Dinosaurs, the incredible @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social and also err Transformers… Really delighted how this came out and it was donated to the brilliant Lyme Regis museum 🏴‍☠️🖤🦖

For #FossilFriday a cast of Archaeopteryx siemensii the ‘Berlin specimen’ with its plumage restored by the prolific and fabulous sculptor Karen Fawcett.

Senate went nuclear and it barely made the news: apnews.com/article/sena...

It's only called Cheeteau if it comes from France.

I substantially underestimated corporate and institutional cowardice in the US.

I don't try to reason with the unreasonable. I will block and forget you ever existed.
