New York subway rule: dogs can only travel if they go "in a bag." New Yorkers took it very seriously... and became incredibly creative. 🐶

found a new NOAA gallery that has terrible metadata but also this guy

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

I genuinely think some people do not want to look this in the eye/think about it because it is so awful. We wrote what I thought was a pretty eye-opening story about all this and I was surprised by the lack of engagement tbh

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

People of Hungary - we are begging you. 🙏🏻

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

A+ headline.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

Putin and Orban coordinating on a desperate false flag operation that everyone knew was coming.

I like Bluesky.

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation: "When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

For those interested, here's the data for the 2027 NASA Budget. Gang, we're not going to Parsippany, New Jersey, let alone building a lunar base on this budget #NASABudget www.nasa.gov/fiscal-year-...

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General. Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Then vs now. Such a shame.

A young bear gets sidetracked by a balloon while crossing the road, prompting its mom to come back. Family bonds in the wild are truly heartwarming.

Trump's move to withdraw from NATO is a treacherous betrayal of the West. NATO is a defensive alliance. It is not an extension of the US Military for Trump to order around to compensate for his lack of competence and planning on the Iran war. Good to discuss on FirstPost.

So here with this.

1/ The US attempted to send several Iran-bound bombers to an Italian air base without prior authorisation and was refused permission by the Italian government while the aircraft were in flight. The news comes a day after Spain disclosed it was refusing US military overflights. ⬇️

Thank you for making No Kings 3 the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen. #NoKings

ROME, ITALY has massive crowds in the streets today standing in solidarity with Americans fighting for democracy. 🔥 This is no longer just an American story; this is a global movement against authoritarianism. The whole world is watching. The whole world is rising. #NoKings2026

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

My resignation letter

Big Tech is finally answering for the harm it has caused our children — after years of fighting against common sense regulations, today's verdict shows that they can't escape accountability.

Elon Musk took over Twitter and turned it into the anti-woke, fascist-amplifying X. There’s been debate about whether to stay since he bought it. But seeing how it’s evolved and the recent Grok deepfake scandal, there’s no good argument to stay. I stopped posting there. You should too.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

There is no solar power crisis. No wind power crisis. No insulation crisis. No heat pump crisis. No e-bike crisis. No electric bus crisis. But there is a #fossilfuel crisis. And a #climatecrisis.

The experience absolutely matters. I could walk hours down a bustling pedestrian-oriented commercial street or a tree-lined urban residential street but only like 5 minutes (willingly) down a wide stroad with huge parking lots in front of every building.

Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

#NAFOArticle5 Go on steam and report this game.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

Every deep insight, every cunning turn of phrase, every moment of poetry that LLMs deliver was strip-mined from an actual human being who laid their heart bare in prose. So how do the best human writers stack up against their own plagiarized work?

And yet, once again: every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

ok this is at least very funny
