Storm Over The Irish Sea, 2022 by Welsh land and seascape painter Sarah Evans #WomensArt

I know a future Director of the FBI when I see one

ow my nuts!

It's so satisfying when something is named right. So you'll know how happy I am to say this is the GLORIOUS FLATWORM, Pseudobiceros gloriosus, native to the benthic zone of the Indo-Pacific. They lack internal organs: no heart or blood vessels, no gills. But /reproduction/ is where it gets WEIRD.

Jesus. 68,900 reported missing in Venezuela.

My sleep paralysis demon is going through some stuff and long story short, he's little spoon. Of course he snores.

Oh just one other final thing: Rapidly decarbonizing electricity supply while simultaneously electrifying end uses -- ie, "electrify everything" -- makes *everything* better. It makes every problem, including cooling, easier to solve. Everyone should agree on & prioritize it. Everyone!

"Let me in, damn it," says Ruby the cat in New Zealand.

No, it’s the bus that does the “independent” targeting. Maneuvering is a totally different thing. You can have Multiple Independently-targeted Maneuvering Reentry Vehicles.

I'm gonna be honest, I assumed that all MIRVs were capable of adjusted movement. Isn't that what makes them MIRVs?

this is the first public disclosure I've seen that the US is prototyping/considering building maneuvering reentry vehicles the to credibly signal that we're not just doing power point images by posting an image of the outer mold line on main is _wild_

Hydration break

If you lived in a reality where there was no wind the concept of wind would seem utterly insane wouldn't it. Just things being pushed about by nothing. I'm not sure I'm ok with it to be perfectly honest.

If you are trans ally and you use pure gym you need to rethink that membership

This is inaccurate reporting. The US and Iran both violated the MoU in the last 48 hours, and not just in minor ways but in sustained and spectacular ones. And Donald Trump is lying to America—pretending no violation invalidates the MoU—so he doesn't have to seek Congressional approval for his war.

Four-year-old just told his toddler sister “it’s time for the hunt” and they both left the room. Not my business

Me: I’m just saying, the Nazgûl aren’t good at their job Date: how did you get the accent on there verbally

Into the breech! aka where it ends up after bottom surgery

Aww the co-creator of FTL came out as trans and issued an update for the first time in years just to change her name in it 😭 love that game.

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday I had to draw this.

this resonated with me on a greater level than most paintings ive seen and i love paintings

Stop reposting this, that is not a healthy weight for a Viper to be! All these owners are giving their Multiroles too much jetfuel, causing them to grow extra CFTs and drop tanks, making them unhealthy, it's fighter abuse!

Lobbying for, say, big tobacco, or even Lockheed pales compares to this .

I speak of the century from 1923 to 2024 (B.A.E.) in which everyone knew a stroll between the Lincoln and Washington Memorials, accompanied by restful pauses, reflections, even a picnic or two, was among the great joys for visitors and D.C. residents alike. But no, the Assholic Era is now upon us.

god i hope i remember to say this on my death bed

i understand that writers write what they know but supergirl being an alcoholic is dumb and doesn't make sense as a character flaw. she should be a sex addict but with a really goofy fetish like clownplay. or she could just have ibs. those are equally flawed behaviors.

GUIDE: Welcome to the Great American State Fair! TOURIST: Incredible! And which state are we in right now? GUIDE: (violently shaking their head) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's also the least needed thing imaginable. There are so many trail cams, zoo cams, incredible nature photographers both amateur and professional, and millions of pet owners taking and sharing pictures. There have never been more real, freely available high quality pictures and videos of animals.

TFW you realize that GenAI is destroying the habitats of the animals it generates videos of.

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

Yeah, this. I got into it with a friend of FB who, on 10/8, was saying 10/7 was a day of celebration, and I just remember thinking, how could you possibly not realize that this is going to end very badly for everyone?

there were lots of people who correctly saw that this was a double disaster - a massacre of Jews that was going to result in an apocalyptic slaughter in Gaza - and acted accordingly; the literally pro-Hamas rallies were not among them. People were fucking jubilant!

I’m always reminded that so much of the fighting in the Civil War took place in the climatic equivalent of a sauna or a meat locker, all while wearing wool, mostly on foot. Sheesh. Let’s fight in Georgia in the summer.

Over the first two months of the Atlanta Campaign Maj. Gen. Wm. T. Sherman had maneuvered his opponent, Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, out of one defensive position after another. #OTD in 1864 Sherman decided to try his luck with an assault by two of his army corps against rebel positions near Marietta, GA.

England-Panama: yes, Drake first sighted the Pacific in Panama. But he also made a return voyage decades later, died, and was buried off the coast of Panama in a full suit of armor and a lead coffin that no one has been able to find, even now with hi-tech tools. Go look for it, if you’re bored.

"Most developed country spending goes to welfare" is true but there's literally no reason to acknowledge politically

This is a, stunningly pretty, Jurrasic era communal coral fossil from a species called Thecosmilia. This specimen was found in County Antrim but is currently on display in the Burren visitor centre in Kilfenora, County Clare.

the founders did not foresee every problem the nation would face, because they lived hundreds of years ago and also because many of them were awful slaveholders but they knew men like Donald Trump and they were extremely clear that such men should never be President

Ooooff

rich people and Israel are really unpopular, especially in D primaries. centrist Ds were in a much better position when Israel was popular and before billionaires made their fascist attack on the rest of us explicit, but...this is not a good platform to run on any more.
