In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

I love trees, but let's be honest, they're the 'B-team' of photosynthesis. A junior varsity squad. This video from NASA's Earth Observatory shows the real stars of the show: phytoplankton. This is chlorophyll concentration (in mg/m^3) by month since 2003. Notice anything surprising? (📷: NASA)

Made it. Goodnight!👋

Pacing the kitchen fifty steps short of 10,000

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

Creatures outside today. 🌱

he could be completely innocent of the allegations and he would still be a blackwater merc with a nazi tattoo

All of this, but also please remember that Laura Ingalls Wilder was edited by her daughter Rose Wilder Lane, who is regarded as one of the three mothers of libertarianism and Ayn Rand's besties, and the books have been shaped to reflect her ideology.

Got outside today. 🌱 #nativeplants

i can all but guarantee you there are other women out there who have been sick to their stomachs for 24 straight hours praying that this will be enough. hoping like hell they won't have to rustle up their own traumas for an angry, hateful audience

You aren’t putting him in jail. You’re just letting him continue on his perfectly fine life without being one of the hundred most powerful people in the country.

I double dog dare u, Maine

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

People love a champion of the working class who just so happens to hate women and black people

Oooh, powerful stuff, young man:

Taylor gonna get divorced at Red Rocks

dance school is hiding the pointe classes again. couldn't find them on the new website. figured they weren't doing them over the summer. kiddo goes to regular-smegular ballet class. "hey, pointe is after. why aren't you signed up?" eye. roll. cause you don't put stuff on your website?!

*pitches bingo card into the sea*

Want freedom? Free Black people. You're only not free because you like feeding into keeping us down for its benefits. That's why you have Trump, & why most of you white folks continue to empower him every day by being racist, racism is his hold on the country. Release it & you will really get free.

Finally got a shower. Whoops! It’s time for bed. 😕

got myself a visual aura! cool. so far, no headache. last time I had one of these, it was 30 years ago.

buncha deranged 'pro-lifers' camped out on the 175 median by the mall. parked their cars in the median with gross photos and god-bothering. embarrassed my teen by yelling at them and using my one fingered salute.

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:

[Kermit rising from the reflecting pool like Baron Harkonnen, dripping green goo, intensely sad] Hi-ho.

I saw a new to me native today, cucumber root, Medeola virginiana Kinda boring without flowers, but I was excited to see one.

ICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

oh shit it's Loving Day hooray for Loving v. Virginia, my marriage, and inclusive constitutionalism, and fuck originalism forever tinyurl.com/originalismt...

This plane took 35 shackled people from the DC-Baltimore area — 28 men and seven women — to an ICE gulag near Alexandria, Louisiana tonight. They paint them all white so you don’t know it’s Air Wisconsin.

ICE detained people at my kid's school today, shaking him so much that he begged me to bring him home, but to bring his passport so he could prove he's an American. They are coming for us all. And now my kid knows. I hate this. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

I am dreading going to the dentist in a month because my hygienist doesn’t bother to do a good job. She literally polished my tonsil. Just careless and sloppy. And I can’t bring myself to tattle on her to the dentist or call and tell them I don’t want her cause I’d have to tell them why.

I *really* hope this works

I am so sick of Big Tech bullshit. if you want to move fast and break things, start with your own bones

HVAC blew out at the high school! Free day off for the kiddo

Think about this research nearly every day now reading the news.

We should abolish the senate and expand the house by around 1000 representatives because that is the actual solution here.

Planted beans and some damn bird or mouse came and ate them all!

Dead Internet has arrived

WTF?

As someone who recently had all their money seized, boy is it hard to get anyone to let you prove you didn't have it coming after the fact. Banks don't care. They'll take all your money & give it away without warning. Be worried about this no matter who you are.

One of the very first things that were gutted/interrupted by this admin was screw worm management but, in particular, the cooperative component with the Mexican government and agribusiness, who were desperate for maximum collaboration/management.

We don’t talk enough about good things that are happening. I’ll start with one. After vanishing for over 60 years, Piping Plovers returned to PA and this year we celebrate 10 years of them nesting in PA! #birds

'how dare anyone discuss the character of this precious child who simply wants to be a core part of affecting the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people?'

So I read the article: 1. This happened in 1965 (for context, Henrietta Lacks cells were taken in 1950) 2. There were 31 children apart of this unethical trial, of which almost all were low income and Black. 3. The families didn't find out until 2023 when a magazine investigated the RSV vaccine

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

some dope earlier this week tried to gaslight people by saying the pushback on AI mirrors the pushback when the internet went mainstream and no it fucking does not! people were excited about the internet! ffs it wasn’t 100 years ago, a lot of us were THERE

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should
