good morning

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

People seem to mistake rich for cool. Especially rich people.

The last known caterpillar that could have become a Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly has died. The term for an animal that is the sole survivor of a species is endling. In a sense, we are all endlings—each the last of our kind. All life is precious, irreplaceable. crimethinc.com/endlings

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

This feels like an episode of Blossom written by Tucker Carlson.

neither here nor there but i keep hearing this dude’s name to the tune of 🎶Jason Derulo🎶 and that’s about the best to be said of his contributions, of which I have more to say here rick-morton.ghost.io/immoral-rear...

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Um...so I accidentally stumbled onto the UVA law library's collection of 6,000 drawings by courtroom sketch reporter Ida Libby Dengrove, who worked in NYC mostly in the '70s & '80s, & they're kind of...amazing..?? This one is tagged "Clown Attack" (thread) archives.law.virginia.edu/resources/18...

A homeless woman in NSW just gave birth in a tent by a river. One baby is dead, while she and the other newborn, critical. But yes Albo's tax tinkering is terrible news for investors.

Some useful public speaking tips from Freud here.

"66 per cent in western Victoria indicating their support for Australia shifting to renewable energy" This isn't a surprise to those of us out here. Despite this, almost every ABC article on the issue centres the minority who oppose the transition and distorts the reality on the ground.

Joining the French resistance for the same reason I started smoking cigs (so I could loiter in damp interstitial spaces with hot people)

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

'The Barefoot Volcanologist' Taken by Elle Leontiev. Goes so hard.

Catholicism has much more authoritative vibes than Evangelicalism, and authority is their favorite. They think nobody can argue if God speaks through a man with elaborate holy millinery instead of a guy named Brett who has highlights.

sure didn't expect to see this on JP news.

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

Everyone should read this Seeya Ben Roberts-Smith.

The most worst person, in the history of worst person that ever worst personed.

Economists are the chiropractors of the social sciences.

You cannot “antisemitism” your way out of committing genocide in Gaza and now displacing 1 million people in South Lebanon so you can steal their homeland. The state of Israel is the problem and there is nothing antisemitic about criticizing it.

I realize I'm a bit of a weirdo, but to this point, I always think about this @sarah-schauer.bsky.social piece on doing research as a hobby, for the pure pleasure of it. (Right now I'm obsessing over early Seattle history and, unrelated, rain) sarahschauer.substack.com/p/how-to-sta...

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

How come nobody told me Fugazi made a song that sounds like Peppermint Patty would walk around to it

He's just sent us to war, people can't afford normal things, and billionaires are encouraging the racists to go fkn nuts while we get robbed. How is this different to "Scomo's" curry, Bunnings and Sharkies posting? These pricks are popped out of the same mold in the same factory.

Actually had me for a second there. www.betootaadvocate.com/trump-demand...

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Gov. General Sam Moyston is swearing in this putrid pos in this morning, elevating him to high office. Ok then.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

was looking for something else and found this important post deep in my files

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Mental health update

For the regime changers, now and in the future. Salute

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

i'll never get over this

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
