This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)

I know what those treasonous fucks are all about. Many of them were probably at the Capitol on January 6th. They need to be classified as a terrorist organization and shut the hell down.

Tin-eared government.

This is terrible, and I think it’s likely far from the worst thing that will happen in this World Cup. I think it clearly puts the team at a competitive disadvantage, especially for the match they have in Seattle. FIFA should have moved their matches to Mexico.

www.sltrib.com/religion/202... Well that did not take long! These pickled brained weirdos either have a very weird understanding of history or, and I suspect this to be the case, are ignorant of its existence entirely.

Display of a Bohemian waxwing. These are largely found in the northern boreal forests of North America/Eurasia, and are social birds that form large noisy groups-sometimes in the 1000's- as they scour the landscape looking for fruit. 📹 wildsafarisaga on IG

I am begging Democratic leadership: don't make fear the strategy for 2028. The GOP attacks everyone. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, a man, a Christian, a moderate, or a progressive. Pick the best candidate. Trust voters. Meet the moment instead of running from it. #ProudBlue

New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at Nyc.gov/summer is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.   The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

a lot (most?) people understand racism as “being a meanie” and if you aren’t a meanie then you can’t be racist, even if you believe in, say, the biological inferiority of entire groups of people based on phenotype

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

BREAKING: Late last night, a federal court overturned a restrictive New Hampshire voter registration law that could have disenfranchised thousands. We challenged this law in court and won, because these unnecessary laws don't safeguard our elections — they just make it harder for people to vote.

my question is: who's saying this publicly, so far?

The fact that we no longer discuss underlying philosophical positions is how you get headlines like this. The Americans who “do not buy it” are, directly or indirectly, espousing the will of god/fate and do not see humanity as controlling its own destiny outside of the souls of individuals.

I’m starting to actually believe we’re all going through this backslide because the brains of those in power are still tainted with leaded gas. Just look at millennial polling numbers on anything compared to X, Boom, and Silent. www.musc.edu/content-hub/...

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

Lis turns out to be extremely into human food. She has stolen pizza. She has stolen chicken nuggets. She has stolen breakfast sandwiches. She has stolen rice. And as of tonight, she has stolen tortellini. This is the face of a miscreant.

I still can’t believe this Great Blue Heron let me witness this tonight. Those wild feathers are breeding plumes, and seeing them lit softly in the evening shadows felt almost unreal.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #texture. This lovely green heron posed for me last summer. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

A horned grebe pair from last year. I knew they were in the area, and was trying to catch a glimpse... only for a pair to appear meters away from me, doing a full courtship display. The drawing wasn't as successful, but I learned some new things, like how this paper isn't great... #SciArt #birdart

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

By nominating Ken Paxton for #TXSen, Texas Rs have inexplicably lobbed a slow, underhanded pitch right into our strike zone during a tied game. In order to win, we need to help James Talarico knock it out of the park. No swing-and-a-miss. No ground out. We either hit a home run or we lose.

thomas is very obviously mainlining the most putrid far right slop imaginable

if your opening gambit is an obviously false assertion — that there was an entire literature challenging the conventional view of birthright citizenship — and then you work your way backwards into an argument, you are a hack and a liar no matter how certain you are that you are right

This artwork features an oil landscape painting titled "Stardust" by the contemporary American impressionist artist William Hawkins.

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.
