MasterCard and Visa will kill an artist if they so much as draw a boob. Meanwhile they'll allow their services on Roblox, where "child predators are an opportunity". They're willing to defend and profit off of pedophiles while throwing artists, gamers, and kids under the bus. Notice the problem?

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Toasted almond scones with a smear of honey on 'em, now that's my choice, with a good beaker of cherry cordial.

For the youngsters, after the Cold War but before 911, the USG considered animal and environmental rights advocates the number one domestic terrorist threat. Federal cops have an ingrained anti left mindset, not just this but built from the historical targeting of POC liberation and anti war folks

Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it

"Everbright On Dark Days" Female Northern Cardinal, 10"x8" Oil on panel The days are dark and short, and my mood seems to follow. But sometimes a thin ray of sun cuts through for a moment, and lights up the things I love, reminding me of how wonderful and beautiful they are, and it keeps me going

It's fucked up that the new generation of Furries have to get converted by copaganda instead of a slick ass criminal.

It’s kinda freaky how many American elites have knowledge of or directly participated in sexual abuse. I feel like maybe that shouldn’t be how things are

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Achievement: Got to be a brontosaurus in my dream the other night. Catch: Almost immediately fell and injured my back and had to sit around listening to other characters talk about how to fix it. #skulldogart #dinosaur

YO. Remember what I said about how the internet needs "Etsy, but not flooded with drop-shipper and AI trash?" Good news! ✨It already exists✨! AND it's a CO-OP. 🎉 Check out @3psboyd.bsky.social's dice shop on there! artisans.coop/pages/seller...

We all know this is a lie, but can we stop valorizing this shit? Sleeping this little actually really fucks you up and you make bad decisions. It makes you irritable. It fucks up your memory. It reduces your ability to react calmly and rationally.

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃 #ArtAdventCalendar

like for god's sake why do you think people like Platner are so popular despite what should be disqualifying personal histories? because they will actually say it's a genocide. they will say 'no war with venezuela' not whatever mealy mouthed insistence that congress have a chance to co-sign it.

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

The enemy is always aristocracy. It changes shape to fit whatever society we’re in, but the desire for it is endemic for certain types of people. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

Fresh-baked breads vied with vegetable salads, cheeses, turnovers, and pies, plus a huge cauldron of the moles' favorite deeper'n'ever turnip'n'tater'n'beetroot pie. There were hot herbal teas, cordials of all types, and a barrel of special dark ale on tap for the Elders.

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Children vaccinated against hepatitis B at birth are 22% less likely to die from any cause, according to to study of medical records from 1999-2018. Why wouldn't a parent want that vaccine for their baby? Why is a CDC vaccine panel considering taking it away? www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

If you love something let it go. If it returns to you it’s yours forever. If it falls screaming to its death, you were probably climbing this mountain. Why did you listen to me? I’m just a bird.

the number of subsistence-level fishermen living in desperate fear right now because Kegseth and co have to make snuff videos for twitter is just...you get very angry if you think about all this too long

wake up babe, woke bill kristol is mogging the democratic party again

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...
