I am ABSOLUTELY reading this as HARD PROOF that Romans farmed ichthyosaurs. It is fact now. Sorry.

Most people probably focus on the damage ICE has caused in Minnesota But their violent, fascist tactics affect people all over the country Here they are-terrorizing 4th and 5th graders at a bus stop in New Jersey May Trump and Stephen Miller rot in hell www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/f...

All it takes is one financial tragedy. Without the social safety net, you just fall right through. I've see physical and mental breakdowns that took people out of work for two years. You go from middle class illusions of stability to desperate poverty shockingly fast in this country.

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown. But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

Stop sharing the “our AI agent made up data” reddit story. It is as fake as the AI you think you are critiquing & the people sharing it have done zero due dilligence 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Did I just watch a video about hedging? Yes, yes, I did nerd. (It has over 3000 comments, so pretty much in the curling category, here...) youtu.be/WoprVhpOKIk?...

31 years ago today, Belly released King, their second and final album before disbanding. Despite strong songwriting and polished hooks, it struggled in the grunge-heavy 1995 landscape. Over time, King has been rightfully reassessed as a worthy follow-up to Star.

I was going to try to mix things up and watch a movie tonight, but I keep thinking that curling will only be available for another week, so I need to watch it while I can now that I finally kind of understand it...

“The Doldrums, my young friend, are where nothing ever happens and nothing ever changes.” “Allow me to introduce all of us,” the creature went on. “We are the Lethargarians, at your service.”

This was my claim to fame (along with some other random Bloomberg article when I was in the market for a new #electric #vehicle lol) also featuring @shematologist.medsky.social. This article actually got one of my college friends calling me with similar problems, so I hope it helps some of you too

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

My mom sent me a link to this bookshop website that curates interesting and unusual books. Great looking selection, here. societyforunusualbooks.com

“The memes, the trolling, and the Epstein video slop are all a cultural defense mechanism amid a crisis of impunity.”

The "Great Stable" at Tattershall Castle... or is it? This 15thC listed building was once presented as stables until survey revealed it was a lodging range for retainers. We'll be Reinterpreting Listed Buildings during an online talk on 26 Feb. More info: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/reinterpre...

Scientists thought they understood global warming. Then the past three years happened. The last 30 years are the fastest warming period since 1880, according to a Washington Post analysis of NASA data. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney. If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

“I’m glad you made your own decision. I do so hate to make up my mind about anything, whether it’s good or bad, up or down, in or out, rain or shine. Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.”

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

Feb. 14, 1926: Adolf Hitler compels the Nazis to accept the Führerprinzip—the principle that the party is based solely on his personal leadership, and his decisions are final. The agreement comes at a gathering of local party chiefs, or gauleiters, in Bamberg, Bavaria. 1/7

It’s hard not to get choked up watching this. His story is a barometer of how much the tide is turning in this country. This needs to go viral.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

Come indulge in some Duran Duran (& related...) with us, experience thinking you'll still go to bed on time and suddenly realizing it's 1am...

If an another nation killed and injured as many Americans as Kennedy we would turn it into molten glass.

This is by far the most cartoonish politics has been in my lifetime. Extremely kind & decent people vs. the absolute dregs of humanity. It continues to baffle me that this is not equally clear to the whole country.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

“I could spend this essay demanding the federal government restore these databases. But I learned something during the AIDS epidemic… Waiting for Washington to do the right thing can mean watching people die while politicians debate. So let me propose what we can build while we wait.”

It’s Lincoln’s birthday so I asked @hcrichardson.bsky.social to come on the pod to talk about him, the war, public memory….and vampires. You’re welcome, America. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

greatest headline of my adult life

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

Would you rather: mediate “trade negotiations” for a collapsing galactic bureaucracy, or Crew a 350m long, 16,592 TEU capacity, monument to just-in-time logistics, with two 16,000 m³ methanol tanks, 23,000-nautical-mile range, and a 44,187 kW engine, moving real stuff to where real people need it?

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

Can only laugh at the marketing message I received on LI suggesting I'd be a good fit for a MA in Songwriting program😭 I mean yeah, that is (was...) my jam, but who tf is going to spend $$$ on that right now??? Zero tangible ROI, especially now that people seem willing to let AI dictate "creativity"

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

This barista understood the assignment (I am now in a Team Coffee Cup Affirmations stage...)

This piece by Dr @clayjones.bsky.social is a clinical and personal memoir Measles is not just a rash, fever, or the "Brady Bunch" nonsense. Years after a mild childhood infection some children develop SSPE, a progressive fatal brain disease with no cure. Preventable and heartbreaking. 🛟

Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)

less than 1$ a brother. at these prices, you can't afford not to buy

Watching my 1st-yr (remote) (community) college student struggling to learn how to study, research, and write. Literal tears and panic at LEAST once a week. Especially after med leave entire senior year HS. BUT. So much pride and relief when they "get it." ChatGPT can't do this for a student.

Wow, almost like the media and journalism profession failed in some sort of professional duty to actually inform these low-engagement voters about what Trump was saying he wanted to do and the consequences of those plans. There is a moral-failure-of-the-voters here, but it's not the only one.

Ali slept overnight on his friend’s grave after a funeral marked by singing and dancing, gestures so dangerous in Iran they can lead to arrest. As graves fill with victims of the IRGC crackdown, funerals are shedding quiet submission and erupting into song, movement, and noise.

We are on day 43 of continuous rain here in the South West of the UK so I am sending out this yellow #1880s Liberty gown as a blast of sunshine to brighten the endless sogginess @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are
