⚒️ 🧪 A catastrophic earthquake just struck northern Venezuela. Large buildings have collapsed, and the USGS PAGER is forecasting thousands of fatalities. Our colleague in Caracas, Dr. Frank Audemard, has shared with us what the earthquake felt like and footage from the region. Here’s what we know.

eating in mexico as a european has gotta be like hearing music for the first time

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

I built a very small house just for me. Cozy + easy to clean. And SO MANY married women stop while I'm gardening and express envy (the sweet kind) while also saying something like "my husband would never go for it." Every time, it takes everything in me not to say "sounds like you should dump him!"

We got eruption sign! (at Kīlauea): www.youtube.com/live/NDA9Bsv...

hey georgia, today's the last day to register to vote -- even if you THINK you're registered, check your registration! mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

*Americans living abroad having to navigate the world's disgust and anger with the person we elected US president* 😨😭 Tell every American citizen outside the US: You can vote, and VoteFromAbroad.org makes it easy. voteabroad.org/ccFR-Promo-2...

This is going to be incredible and I want to write this screenplay so bad.

Flipping through this flickr gallery was a really great way to start the day. Amazing stuff.

Ryan Coogler's commitment to sharing knowledge and always shining a light on his creative collaborators is such a gift to the rest of us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SkO...

My senior senator... ever the self-serving asshole who doesn't like democracy. #mtpol #mtnews

I cannot express to you all what an ABSOLUTELY BANANAS week we've had here in Montana in regards to our congressional delegation. Also, (I can't believe I get to say this!!) so long and eat, shit steve.

I never miss my quarterly opportunity to say, once again, Eat Shit Target. finance.yahoo.com/news/target-...

Hell yeah! We are going to take back our purple state damnit! (also, he can eat shit and good riddance.)

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

So happy about this! SUCH a great performance in such a wonderful movie.

oh no... it's spreading.

The news won’t tell you, but there are lots of good people out there doing good things. There’s still kindness in the world. Be part of that. Love, like fighting fascism, is punk as fuck.

An underrated aspect of becoming strong is how often I get to go low key embarrass dudes. Highly recommend.

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Also, if you're on Reddit check that setting too - mine is always (annoyingly) resetting itself to autoplay.

Oh, look, it's a shrivel of Congressmen.

"And that's how, after several hours, five people and a citywide network of volunteers got a 12-year-old girl her first menstrual pad." America.

I finished the final draft of my sweet-happy-ending-project and now I can start the second draft of my a-previously-nice-lady-who-seeks-revenge-and-kills-them-all-project. I need this.

I suspect that @scalzi.com may know something about this.

Celebrate the new year + go get a library card this weekend!

Freaking love this city and all the people in it so much….a bunch of people went and turned the 4 train into the Polar Express giving out toys to kids along the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn….shoutout to the @newyorkers.live account on IG for doing this 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DSnsvWS...

I am so ready for our haunted Victorian shoe era!

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal

can confirm

SIR. 🫡

For a particular sector of Gen Xers, this performance is a siren song.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either." youtu.be/603NmGNkfqY

FUCK YEAH!! (also... suck it, losers!)

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

I wholeheartedly endorse this level of grudge-holding.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

listen to this king. a team with low morale is ineffective. relatedly, a team with high morale is effective. also relatedly: we are going to win

My quarterly opportunity to once again say... Eat shit, Target.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about @pastpunditry.bsky.social's comments last week about the further splintering and radicalization of the m@ga movement and what may be coming down the line. It's chilling but it's a clarity that I find helpful. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

[Montananly] Citizens United was actually a case arising specifically from Montana's experience of and resistance to copper baron capture of the state's political system

What Karen says! Related, the day after the election, I hit a new deadlift PR. It wasn't a coincidence.
