Here’s some Abel Klaer art to make your Tuesday a little better.

That’s right! Thanks, Fox News! www.foxnews.com/politics/squ...

Thank you Diane Keaton, for your brilliant acting and for your animal advocacy. You spoke out for the Big Cat Public Safety Act, for dog adoption, for eating plants rather than animals. (PS- animals are not voiceless! They do express their wishes to live.) #DianeKeaton #animals #activism

we need to abolish this shit

It's very good to receive good news.

If you're using "AI" to help you write "your novel" then it's not "your novel" anymore is it

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Abolish ICE. They are the new gestapo, and that's not hyperbole in the slightest.

If you're here (thank you) and you're a bookseller or a librarian and we don't already follow you please shout out so we can.

RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. ❤️ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

Thank you Dr. Jane Goodall. You gave so much to our world. We are a better world because of you. Enjoy your new adventure.

Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Jane Goodall. You made the world a better place.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I know I’m a bit of a nitpicker, but maybe an alcoholic, raping, Nazi-tattoo-wearing, Fox News personality just shouldn’t be in charge of our military.

Those backstories are the bridge trolls of cooking.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Through her creative platform, Saint Heron, Solange has launched The Saint Heron Library, a digital archive dedicated to making rare and out-of-print works by Black authors, poets, and artists accessible to all. 🔗 library.saintheron.com

The headline on this is misleading. I would rephrase as: Growth that outpaces equilibrium is the enemy of true social progress. iai.tv/articles/pro...

One of the inspirations for my award-winning #horror screenplay #13thStScare is Rocky Horror! I wanted to create a new story that audiences can participate in, have fun, and connect with others who want to go on the same wild ride. #lgbtq+ #latinx #LiveArt #womeninhorror

Here we propose adding an 11th criterion to UNESCO’s framework to protect animal cultures—habitat protection alone isn’t enough. Excited to collaborate with philosophers @merikatariina.bsky.social & @birchlse.bsky.social on this! Message me for access ;-) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yes and also we all aren't outrage jukeboxes, you can't just press a button and have us be outraged on request.

Every company that employs genAI should be taxed up the wazoo for the human jobs lost, the harm they’re causing to the environment, and the massive energy consumption that will otherwise be absorbed by everyone else.
