Holy hell. The description of death row in apartheid South Africa was one of the most harrowing things I've ever read. Also. This guy wasn't fucking around.

New Book Day! Please tell the world. Read a comic about it here: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/sawyer... Or if you just want to buy it: us.macmillan.com/books/978037... Thanks everyone! It took me over a year to write, but I think you and/or your kid(s) will have many laughs together.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

I find this image remarkable. It's of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, photographed by the ESA Rosetta spacecraft. That bright white plume is a jet of dust and water ice blasting from the nucleus—helping form the comet's long, dusty tail as it approaches the Sun.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

I blame @abraham.bsky.social for this immoderation. #screamingfirehawk Rocinante was a mustang. The four OG refugees escaping on the Tachi made it through all the way :)

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

Ready for Saturday!

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

I’m becoming more and more concerned that people at high levels of public discussion cannot identify the difference between a genuinely viral conversation vs a bunch of bots making noise.

Age yourself with a film you saw in a cinema as a kid.

ART said in my feed, Be careful. Find your crew. I tapped the feed in acknowledgment, because if I tried to say anything else I was going to sound stupid and emotional.

Pete Buttigieg: "We have to reject anyone who tries to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down on individuals or groups because they challenge the government politically."

What poster did you have hanging in your room as a kid?

oh we're supposed to go back to normal and pretend that major players in our government and media didn't spend multiple days telling us democrats deserve to be hunted like dogs in the street because their favorite podcaster got ganked? not me, thanks! some people don't forget!

#TheExpanse A Little Death issue #1 is out now! Wes and I think you should check it out — and so does Steven Strait, aka the Rocinante’s captain James Holden!

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Look what dropped in my inbox! @andydiggle.bsky.social #theexpanse #alittledeath
