what we need to avoid so we don’t all get diarrhea:

A guy calls the hospital and says "Help, my wife is having a baby!" The nurse says "Is this her first child?" The guy says "No, this is her husband."

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor who was perhaps best known for his star turn as Dr. Alan Grant in the “Jurassic Park” series, died on Monday in Sydney, Australia. He was 78. Read more about his life and legacy: nyti.ms/3SWU8vI

Wai Ching Ho has sadly passed away at the age of 82. She played Madame Gao in the #MCU.

Not mine.

Quite the legacy you've left, Senator Graham.

Mayflower 2 is out on Boston Harbor for the Tall Ship Parade.

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

This is my favorite thing I've written for @mcsweeneys.net in a while. Hope you folks enjoy it! I think the headline pretty much clears up what it's about.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

I'm definitely going to the library!

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)

This is Beau. He loves his small human. A little concerned about why he's being outlined like a crime scene victim. Deciding to give them the benefit of the doubt. 13/10 (TT: beaunosebones)

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

A welcome appearance by Dr. @k8lister.bsky.social on After Dark. The journey this story takes. Ghost sex, Comstock Laws, you name it. Definitely worth a listen. youtu.be/nCre2osx0NI?...

Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.

😬

I can't relate to this one bit. #Timberborn I can't say I've ever built a power tower in my beaver colonies. Constructions like these are damned complicated.

If only there had been signs. Like a giant Nazi tattoo.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

That picture…

good morning

Today’s heat is proof that they would never open the second act dancing about how darn hot it is.

And we’re all looking for the guys who did this. Guy-in-a-hotdog-suit.gif

Mordor on the Orient Express

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Oh, hell no.

there are an absolute fuckload of American companies whose origin story is a variant on “immigrant salesman hooks up with Delaware sailor who has pickle industry ops expertise, plausibly” and it feels pretty good when they let you know they remember

“Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom.” www.wnct.com/news/mt-oliv...

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

A friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding at the Great American State Fair bc he knows no one is there.

Welcome to the Great American State Fair

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

What is the obsession with calling food or recipes "better than sex"? I tried your Pinterest risotto, Sharon, and frankly I am wondering if your needs are being met.

Interesting how a decades old movie seems to have seen our current predicament 🤔

Something I keep thinking about is this is Todd Blanche's DOJ. He's getting a promotion for this shit. It's the most direct, ongoing fasdism from this regime. The pushback against Blanche's confirmation needs to be massive. Bigger than DC.

This is great. Here's @owenjones.bsky.social basically doing the WKUK bit on TV, but about how in the UK you can't legally say you support the group Palestine Action.

Must feel so amazing right now to be a Vietnamese man in NYC named Nicks Nguyen and hearing the whole city chant your name
