In my excitement at finally seeing these Tibetan Snowcocks, I took neither a good photo nor a video! This was up at 17,000 ft with Gokyo Lake below and Everest somewhere in the background! #birdoftheday #winterbirds #birds #eastcoastkin #wildlife #nature #scape #bluesky #mountains #video #pheasant

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

So rarely hear the phrase “legitimate concerns” being used with climate change protestors, hunger striking peace activists, trans people who want to live without fear, and on and on

Very important to hate fascists more than you hate liberals.

all respect, what should be done about people who rack up speeding infractions and DUIs? i do not want to throw them in prison. i do want to limit their ability to do harm. and there seems to be almost no concern for the fact that speeding or driving under the influence is not a victimless crime.

I enjoying mysekf by the lamp, but then I remembered instances of regret in my life, and pain I have caused others

"What Swift’s defenders didn’t realize was that they were pushing back against a false narrative that had been seeded and amplified by a small network of inauthentic social accounts. Worse, they were helping to disseminate those bad-faith allegations by earnestly engaging with them."

You will be visited by three spirits.

People say FIFA disgraced itself by having that little Trump ceremony. Habibi, it’s FIFA. People died building the Qatari stadium for the last World Cup and it held the World Cup in Russia before that.

Warum auch in Deutschland die Infektionszahlen steigen#AIDS#HIV#WeltAidsTag

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

"Das Bündnis Widersetzen sagt, es sei erschrocken über das Ausmaß der Polizeigewalt. Zahlreiche Demonstrierende seien durch Faustschläge, auch ins Gesicht, sowie durch Schlagstöcke und Pfefferspray verletzt worden." taz.de/Demo-gegen-A...

Gewalt ist schlecht, deswegen sollte die Polizei aufhören, Demonstrant*innen zu verprügeln.

Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

Gosh darn it!

@profanity.accountant Hi!

How did I walk away loving As long as you're mine? I never liked that song 😭 Cynthia and Jonathan are just that breathtaking!

Give Cynthia Erivo every award

Wicked: For Good? More like Wicked: Fucking amazing!

Posting the aftermath of russian attacks with burned homes and ruins and seeing someone ask “is this AI?”

if your view of rogue one is that it is a "well-acted and well-written action flick" then i'm just going to assume you've never seen a movie before

Why are you booing him? He's right!

thelocal.to/investigatin... Die Geschichte einer "Journalistin", die KI-generierte Artikel mit fabrizierten Zitaten veröffentlichte - und wie sie enttarnt wurde:

I'm all for woke 2 as long as we agree woo-woo is out, I want aggressively pro-science and medicine thanks

A fascinating scene to understand how personalistic regimes work. First, there is an in-or-out decision by the leader. This is always in flux, deliberately uncertain and essential to extract rents and exert power. When you are on the inside the substance of what you say and do becomes secondary.

Vintage dollhouse cat from my collection. Pictured on Francie for no particular reason at all.

Listened to the Lily Allen album and it's insane

And on that note, there’s a special place of disrespect in my heart for the immigrants and offspring of immigrants who peddle along this agenda.

Note that every piece of anti-migrant propaganda I take personally. No, I’m not playing good immigrant, bad immigrant. This hate agenda is bad for ALL of us.

Estonia has canceled a planned Limp Bizkit concert in Tallinn because frontman Fred Durst publicly backed Putin and Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Foreign Ministry said there is “no place in Estonia or its cultural space for supporters of an aggressor state,”👇

Fine, I will write the next James Bond. INT: SEX CASINO, NIGHT BOND: Hello I am Bond James Bond my car goes NYOOM CUT TO: ten minutes of a chase in a sports car BOND: Also my watch is a special watch that makes ladies blouses see through EXPLOSION BOND: This film is for grown ups

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

Das permanente Gerede über so genannte „Tabus“, die jetzt endlich gebrochen werden, geht an der Realität komplett vorbei. Als würde nicht permanent über angebliche Gefahren der Migration debattiert werden. Als wäre Rassismus nicht längst hoffähig geworden in diesem Land.

I'm a heterodox thinker (I believe Sombody told me is a better The Killers song than Mr. Brightside)

Love the new album btw

Florence AND the machine? In this economy??

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Ja dann fragen wir doch mal die Töchter:

It seems pointless to fact check someone saying "curry isn't proper British food like fish and chips", just like it's futile to correct someone saying "there are no pronouns in the Bible". They haven't made a mistake. What they're saying is, "Britain is a white country".

Unzählige internationale Organisationen und Zeug:innen dokumentieren das unbeschreibliche Leid in Gaza, aber in Deutschland denkt man sich zuhause vorm Bildschirm „die sehen gar nicht so mager aus“. An welchem Grad an Entmenschlichung sind wir angekommen, wenn so etwas Teil des Diskurses ist

Dan and Phil are not dating because you need to leave the house to go on dates #phanisreal

Darkly ironic that people who wanted Phan to be real probably delayed Dan and Phil's coming out by a decade because they refused to be normal.

A Northern Pintail, look at that gold shimmer. These guys are known as the “Greyhounds of the Skies”, not only are they fast flyers, they fly long distances incredibly fast. One flew from Labrador to England in just 9 days. Faster than Canada Air. #ducks #birds #wildlife #photographer #canon

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)
