my "bubba was not the bill clinton I went down on" epstein brother is raising a lot of questions already answered by said epstein brother

Always exciting to find a class of arthropods I didn't know existed living in my yard-a quasi-centipede of class Symphyla, genus Hanseniella seen in dirt under a brick. Grateful to the whole #iNaturalist community for making these discoveries accessible to so many. #bugsky #inverts #macrophotography

what if the bubba from That Email is actually the vance couch

I beg of you: please read the plot summary of this film en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Luc...

The only goat with the sauce i wanna be told about:

soil is a great place to find antibiotics because it's just a constant microbial arms race. It looks innocuous but everything in there is constantly trying to kill each other

in yesterday's ttrpg session the party got an enemy ship to hit a mine. I managed to time narrating the explosion right as actual thunder rumbled through Thank you tabletop god of thunder for the perfect climactic moment

The New York Times has always been like this

Got a couple dozen crows flying in front of a rainbow, best one was when it was faint, so really had to edit. Not sure if I missed the mark. Edited / original 🪶

Im unclear why this gap developed in my ugly chair, but it’s hilarious when this little goofball falls into it.

"I practice ethical non monoworky"

me when Machete sends me a text

Burnside was the worst commander the Army of the Potomac ever had, and he was so aware that he was unfit to be the commander of the army he refused the offer of command twice before finally accepting because he knew if he didn't it would go to Joe Hooker, who he hated.

I guess it's okay for some people though?

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

Mainstream palaeoart often seems lily-white in terms of the diversity of its contributors. But pieces of palaeoart that rank among the -MOST SEEN- works in the entire field were examples of black craftsmanship. This week came news on the passing of Garfield G. Minott (1966-2025)... cont

Yep. People are talking about the latest Frankenstein film. But Mary Shelley was also an abolitionist, and she and husband Percy abstained from sugar because it was produced with the the labor of enslaved people. "In every pound of sugar used… consuming two ounces of human flesh," - William Fox

Everyone on here should be forced to do this at least once a week (and more depending on how much time you spend).

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

we just like all t’dem other patriots. trump and republicans ain’t ever gonna let us see the epstein files man they aint ever gonna let us see bloods on the wall beratnas we gone rise up? we gone rise up?!

sideburns being named after general burnsides sounds like one of those apocryphal folk legends except it's true. They're literally named after this guy

why does every Dudes™ podcast always have a hat guy and a mustache guy

We’re not making any new guys who fight the confederacy and make a new facial hair feature so prominent it gets named after him and I think that’s sad.

So much of what we're seeing in US and European politics right now is driven by status anxiety. And so much of that perceived loss of status is based on the West's distorted view of itself and the rest of the world, and of how global inequality became the "normal" field on which history plays out.

everything I know about the Nuzzi/RFK Jr affair I have learned against my will

This would be so hot

the guys looking the hardest for a crisis of masculinity are always looking in the wrongest places

ok now I get putin's hold over trump. His supporters are too evil to care about him abusing girls But proof that he went down on bill clinton would destroy him (sorry for putting this on your timeline)

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency. It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.

No animal can nail the whole "spectacular creature" thing as well as the whole "a little cutie patootie" thing like a bobtail squid can. 🦑📷Adrien Cantat (inaturalist.ca/observations...)

when I was 24 and went back to college I still avoided dating teenagers because even at those ages the gap felt huge. What the fuck is wrong with you Michael

One of my favorite things about NYC is that the entire fleet of NYC ferries was named by 2nd graders. I think about this every time my run takes me past the docks. Anyway, there are people who went to work this morning aboard The Tooth Ferry and the Ocean Queen Rockstar.

It’s so funny how the ONE thing that was actually pretty cool about the Roman Empire - their public works projects like the aqueducts and cloaca maxima- is also something the marble statue crowd has zero interest in, and consistently, vitriolically oppose in the present.

yep, I still saw lots of people going about their day in brooklyn. And idk if they felt the same, but I felt a deep bond with everyone knowing we were all in this together

“History was written by the winners” doesn’t mean that the history of the losers doesn’t exist. It means you have to judge and interpret sources with the knowledge of the biases of the people who wrote them.

A FUN FACT ~ @Riley_Gaines_ is banned from competing in the @thecgf but trans women aren’t!

There's actually a historical reason for the ruling class's poorly written emails: typing and computing was feminized, working-class labor until fairly recently. So male business leaders from earlier generations often view writing as below them/view emailing as similar to dictating to a secretary.

my cat just shot a nerf gun by himself

Gonna be honest and say I don’t want to spend the day reading people quote posting each other and hankering on about how this or that person is having the wrongly calibrated reaction to a wildly surreal and massive info dump during what has already been a surreal year

in a just world they'd station cops by every rich guy with a gmail app instead of at subway stations

is there any book or site where I can compare different PIE reconstructions side-by-side?

a core tenet of white supremacy is deifying white mediocrity

Every time I see a moderate arguing that some social change is coming too fast, I am reminded that a significant number of people in the antebellum South argued that they were fine with abolishing slavery, if only we could find a way to do it that didn't leave "good folks going hungry."

it's funny cause we already have a daily exodus of thousands of cops when they all go home to long island

Everyone excited to buy a Steam Machine.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.
