lol I have a hot take and that is way too many people have low data literacy. Reading and understanding words is just as important as reading and understanding numbers.

Y'all, the eye hasn't even hit us yet and we are getting slammed out here like Applebee's on a payday Friday 😭😵‍💫

Random but I've been thinking about south america all day, just gonna throw out there that many andean cultures, including most prominently the tawantinsuyu (inca) had an utterly fascinating information storage system called quipu. was fortunate enough to attend a lecture about them some years back

Also I did not run to be the head of any city or town, so the people you should ask about how they will fund public goods are those folks. Thank you for your attention to this matter, lol.

Some men don't have to be attracted to a particular woman to believe that being desired by her or having access to her sexually, if they wish, is some kind of natural right. This is why some men simply despise lesbians, whether they are attracted to them or not. It's the presumptive rejection.

Another day another warehouse fire. The revolution will be televised.

i have an idea for weeding out extremists, it's called defund the police

it'd be great if you could get off Substack

This kind of thing at Substack (including their Nazi problem and trans hate problem) are why my newsletter is at Ghost.org and always has been. Andrew Tate is a spectacularly vile human being accused of numerous violent crimes against women and hugely corrosive for young male minds.

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

*death, war, gas prices, kidnappings* The news: are billionaires happy?

Real talk? I personally cannot go on like this.

Pick a state, pick a city, look at how much their police get in revenue and then tell me how the police are oh so despised.

I’m not here for any “beleaguered police” narratives; it’s simply not true considering everything we can measure.

by the way? This is FASCISM

Laying on the floor in my full get-up (waterproof rain gear, pants and jacket) waiting for the rain and wind to chill before I dash outside to get my dog 😵😵‍💫😫

I want bloopers at the end of a movie or show to become the standard again. I know Abbott Elementary has a fire blooper reel

MY pope leo ain't weak on crime

*cups ur face* You are not a “smol” “bean.” You are in your thirties and have a pet that’s grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle. You need to get it together.

Prayers for everyone in the path of this monster typhoon.

Hell, the US in general

“I want to support white supremacy but not in a way people can judge me.” US politics.

You can't love Black people without respecting Black women.

If you in line STAY IN LINE

I like knowing when I’m wanted. Put all your cards on the table or keep it on the playground

Heehee, 🤭. Imagine.

yeah he’s not a real catholic, i’m sorry, but no. there’s no way he believes what we believe. he has no idea what catholics believe. he doesn’t go to mass, and couldn’t describe our sacramental theology if he was being held hostage let alone in casual conversation. he’s a fake.

😂😂

If a reporter doesn't have the resources, patience, the PERMISSION (i.e.: a source willing to go on record), the legal backing, the whatever they need to tell the story right, with empathy for the survivors, and with enough details to nail that sucker to a wall, then they aren't going to pursue it

Our front door faces into the wind and opens outwards AND we are on 2nd floor where we get the gusts, so I have to bungee cord the door so it doesn't rip open on me when opening

even if he’s not a literal sexual predator, look twice at an Industry Guy who surrounds himself with younger women and otherwise Diverse talent only while he can Champion them — yet his coworkers and peers are all just people like himself

The way Ed Blum is going after scholarships for people of color right after going after affirmative action Like just in case Black kids still get admitted to college, he wants to make sure they can’t afford to go ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Your fun animal fact for the day: Despite the way that media makes brown bears seem primarily carnivores, humans are usually more carnivorous; brown bears get on average 90% of their calories from plants while humans average 84%.

Wow a universal beaver policy, maybe?

[deep breath] the project of defining discrimination as acknowledging differences between groups is a long term, conservative project fully embraced by the reactionary court and intended to make it so selecting for merit rather than inherited privilege is illegal

whenever i check my usual free tv show sites, the majority of tv shows are copaganda and 'reality' tv and of course the reality tv copaganda.....it is so bad 😭

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

I’m tired of problem solving. I want to be held. 😭

‪Chris Wright talks like the leader of a cult. Grid electricity is not foundational to EVERYTHING humans do. That’s a lie & it doesn’t give him permission to pillage the planet & murder the biosphere. Humans are not the only species on Earth. They just act like it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​‬

“When the river bursts its banks, or drains are popping manhole covers, that’s the river talking to us. It’s telling us: Hey, you’ve constrained me, you’ve constricted me, and I’m screaming and shouting about that.” — Dan Hikuroa.

During a thunderstorm, moving clouds generate strong electrical potentials (⛈️-). This induces electric fields in the branches & foliage of trees. These fields generate an imperceptible ultraviolet corona. Trees are literally LIGHTING UP around lightning. Let's talk about it. (📷: William Brune)

Damn I'm Pretty ✨️

Hereʻs another look at Oahu. Itʻs what happens when the govt. ignores infrastructure for too long and tourism, military and corporation $$ are listened to rather than the place and its people.

Here is a nice mushroom
