I. Am. So. Excited. A Marie Curie booknook and it includes her X-ray truck used in WWI!

It's only 11 am and I am ready for a nap. That it's icy and grey outside ain't helping

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

Boosts appreciated 🔁 It's a great time to start shopping for holiday gifts! I make handmade jewelry for a living, so your business this holiday season means far more to me than it will to any large business. Grab my new spooky earrings → cvkvlv.com MVTO!! Goal progress in comments ↓↓ #Beadwork

My attitude toward scaffolding on historic buildings changed when I heard what the head of Cologne cathedral said when asked if the cathedral w/o scaffolding was a pipe dream. Answer: “It’s not pipe dream, it’s a nightmare, it would mean we no longer care about preserving it.” Scaffolding = love ❤️🏛️

A reminder for the nationalists out there

The center being so scared of the left that they invited fascists into power has never been tried before so we cannot simply assume it will have devastating consequences. *holds finger to earpiece* To shreds, you say

Christopher Columbus was a profoundly evil genocidal piece of shit, and if hell is real, I hope he is roasting there slowly in a vat of boiling acid. He was so horrible other European explorer types and the church were like "Whoa motherfucker can you not?"

That, and also for anyone who cares to remember how much he hated Netanyahu (largely for congratulating Biden for winning in 2020) and how much he didn’t mind if Bibi were ousted or jailed or w/e not that long ago, the reversal in the time since Oct 7 has been wild/predictable to watch.

Letting Trump speak here, on camera, is a great way to increase the world's dislike for America and Israel.

I hope future historians have to teach the impact of the inflatable animal costume dance parties on American history.

The scenes from Portland are awesome!

Portland continues to amaze me 👏

The inflatable costume companies are probably wondering wtf is going on with their sales numbers.

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good.

Portland's Spirit Animal is a....

She came into her job widely accused of being a foreign asset. She now responds to those credible allegations by doing the first thing any foreign asset would do in her role: bury all intelligence on pending foreign threats to the United States. It's almost like America doesn't *want* to survive.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Winning! #UNC #Belichick

He lies with the ease that I take shits.

Unfortunately it looks like we won’t be hitting the preorder minimum for these hats unless we get some more orders! So if you’re interested in a leafcutter ant hat or are considering holiday gifts, please preorder! 🐜🌿 Available below ⬇️

no quarter given lmao

the inflatable costume thing is an extremely smart tactic

This tracks. The most deranged things I ever heard in class came from philosophy majors.

The Free Press published an article saying kids weren't starving in Gaza. We were just seeing pics of kids who were already sick with rickets. Sally, you get rickets from malnutrition. That's not within a 1000 miles of proper journalism

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

When Trump was elected, I decided I would try to put my column writing energy towards somewhere local. I wanted to write in my communities about stuff that was happening. Not all plans work out, but this one seems to be so far. I am looking forward to a slightly more formal process.

Reporting to you live from War Ravaged Portland

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’ “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?” -Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

The male loneliness crisis will never end until men are willing to hear loved ones tell them "bro you are wrong."

The idea that world events and life-or-death political decisions should turn on what one elderly US citizen sees on a TV sounds like the premise for a 1970s dystopian satire written by the most hysterical Marxist novelist seeking to magnify the moral rot and decadence of a declining American empire…

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits. As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador. He married my wife and I. He is the pope's right hand. www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/meet-the-j...

Awww. Look at him pretending to be a big boy in his dad's coat

Just think of how many TT faculty lines, graduate stipends, and resources for teaching and research this kind of money could buy...

Everyone in the house is getting over the plague so dad and I had Chinese take out for Thanksgiving supper and I have zero complaints. No dishes!

A new Portland character has entered the chat at the ICE facility….meet The Unipiper!

I have the best nail guy and when I gave him his tip today he tried to give it back. I had to tell him twice I was sure Iol. He's so sweet

Amazing

Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada? Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived? Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States? This is the story. 🧵1/10

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all. Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.
