Whoever's running this "study" should be excommunicated from the wildlife biology world. We already fucking know what happens when you kill all the predators: the prey species' population explodes unsustainably until they all starve themselves to death.

So, uh, it’s totally normal for a 21st century American to use an old-timey German insult (pig dog / Schweinhund) when celebrating the murder of Jews, right?

I had to check if it was real or not: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

"hostage crisis"??? It's called they're a fucking POW! Why the fuck are we governed by fucking children who don't understand the terms of their own enterprise? Why the fuck are their misadventures covered by people who don't appreciate the fucking gravity of their profession? Fuck all these idiots.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

I was going to include a gif of mr rogers smiling down with pleasure on my righteous violence but the gif catalog for “mr rogers” appears to now be mostly tom hanks playing him in a movie. I’m pretty sure a college philosophy class from 1999 tried to prepare me for this moment

nice apostrophe

set up a nesting box with cam nine days ago and this morning got a prospective tenant - fingers crossed that his mate will approve

North Africa. You can just barely see Spain at the lower left. Since a lot of projections 'squeeze' central latitudes, it is all too easy to forget that Africa is *really* *really* big.

Looks almost like a painting : a child looking at Russian Shahed drone, what’s left of it after it attacked the vet clinic in Kyiv area today

"Whether solo or in communion with other Black women, it is not at all hyperbole for me to say that time and time again, I have found salvation in art museums," writes Gabrielle Horton.

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

It is very sad. The author can muster more sympathy than I can for the guy buying grey-market Temu peptides he heard about on Rogan, framing it as justified distrust engendered by the Sacklers and the insurance industry, rather than being roided out sexist thugs.

The US has it's own Cargo 200 problem.

The Trump regime denigrates NATO allies, lies about them, tariffs them, lectures them that they’re not white enough, shifts towards Russia and against them, even threatens to take their territory, and now MAGA is confused that allies aren’t aiding an aggressive war of choice? How stupid can one be?

And they said that oratory was dead.

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

Heeyyyyy, while you’re here, please read this. It’s important, I swear. bsky.app/profile/eliz...

I refuse to believe this is a real animal.

Yeah, like what is this? We have an aluminum shortage already because Trump started a war with Iran and now he’s adding a 25% tax to it?

I knew eventually we could combine 9/11, Hiroshima, Hasan, and Falklands Discourse into one big hyperobject. We did it, Bluesky!

Gd, this picture from NASA just gives me such *Shuttle vibes*.

so, for my sins, i went to the original post to see if there was some kind of context in the video that i might have been missing, but, no, it’s this picture of fess parker over the davy crockett theme song for two minutes and change. i’ve got nothing, the president has oatmeal brains.

Look I'm sorry I guess but can't you people just masturbate to whatever you want without trying to destroy the very concept of "books?"

DO YOU WANT TO BE THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL

So like I don't think we should have a moon-based seastead for Elon's MechaHitler and CSAM factory, but also "going to the moon is problematic because someday we could end up inventing FTL and conquering planets with sapient life" is pretty silly.

Grandpa just likes killing people. He has his hierarchies, but he'll take what he can get.

House Republicans are seriously planning to divert more money from healthcare this year to fund Donald Trump's failing war of choice in Iran. Trump literally wants to kill you just to kill more Iranians. #FundHealthcareNotWar

There are no Raisinettes OR Sno-Caps?? no wonder the theaters are struggling smh
