I completely do not get what the intended effect of the "TACO" Trump meme, if not to try to egg him into continuing to fight the Iranians or do any other horrible thing that he starts doing and then tries to deescalate. what other point is there in calling him a coward for not doing something?

I’ve seen people express surprise that there’s a lot of shipping in The Pitt because it’s such a serious unsexy show to them and they can’t imagine anyone there boning to which I say: skill issue

Here's an alternative/additional action to calling reps to save our Forest Service - tell the brands who built their empires on public forest lands to speak out! They're bigger and have more power to push for this to stop. Flood their socials and direct emails. Remember, money talks saveusfs.org

The 2025 rePROs Fight Back Report Card on Sexual and Reproductive Health is out—and the US got an “F” for reproductive rights. Join our 4/29 webinar to find out where your state stands and what the future holds: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/1017749852487/WN_StLYlWlDRWutmSUrtHyaew

I need people to know that the photos of colourful moon are not from Artemis II. They were made by a Ukrainian photographer, who enhanced the colours of the moon's surface to represent its mineral composition. I can't stand to see an individual work be misattributed and misrepresented like this.

finally, some good Discourse

‘“Quinceaneras are a part of our culture here,” he said in an interview. “She tried to make it an insult, and I take it as a badge of honor.”’

The Huntington Library recently unveiled Sandy Rodriguez’s “Book 13,” which features a 20-foot-wide U.S. map of child migrant detention centers alongside federal Native-American boarding schools. To reserve tickets to the full exhibit, visit huntington.org.

Also of note, Iowa paid Chris Rufo—perhaps the leading propagandist for the current assault on higher ed, an unqualified hack and admitted fabulist—$34,000 to speak. It's embarrassing that any higher ed institution would invite him, especially when they are cutting departmental budgets.

How interesting that the first American-born Pope with Negro Creole grandparents on his mother's side is the first to be disrespected by an openly white nationalist regime

Marty Gugino was a sweet and a good man who I’m very fortunate to have spent some time with. May his memory be a blessing, and a relentless thorn in the side of the powerful. buffalonews.com/news/local/a...

Saw this behind-the-scenes photo and now I wanna draw him. So cute ✨ #akotsk

dig this silk-linen sport coat from besnard this season. very interesting, irregular texture and slubby flecks that remind me of donegal tweed, but rendered in a form that's wearable for spring/ summer (depending on your regional climate)

It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable. They want you to surrender.

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

I hate the too-cool-for-school attitude of dismissing this with a "but they won't." That is surrendering in advance. The pressure should be put on them, the message should be unrelenting that this is what must be done and they're the ones refusing to do it. Don't act like they don't have agency.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

The Five Calls app now has a script for you about not committing genocide in Iran. Please call and leave messages to your Reps and Senators. 5calls.org

Script.

The United States is where it is today because at every stage of its existence, going back to the American Revolution and even earlier, it has failed to rein in its most violent, warmongering extremists.

everything to think about, everything to notice

"It's called "The Miniature Wife," Lemon, we still have the furniture from when NBC owned the rights to Stuart Little 2 so we're trying to make a savings on set pieces."

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

Bro that Balrog really shat the bed when it chased away all the goblins that had the fellowship surrounded in Moria. Can you imagine the meeting with HR that came after that whole mess?

The biggest comic artist of the last 10 years is Dav Pilkey and it’s not even close. But because he makes kids’ comics, he’s often overlooked. (Imagine overlooking Carl Barks, just because he made comics for kids!) www.gamesradar.com/the-latest-d...

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”
