When I hear about a banker who is a "ninth-generation Arkansan" I automatically visualize a slave owner. #arleg

My coworker just suggested we "set a trap" for the guy who keeps stealing lunches from the break room fridge. Brother you are Tom and Jerry brained. We are going to HR.

Brother Ignatz you wretched beast what did you do this time

xAI's planned expansion of its gas plant—the addition of 41 new turbines—has residents of Southaven, Mississippi, fearful. “It would be devastating,” said Shannon Samsa. “No community in their right mind would want something like this in their backyards.”

The ultimate camouflage is when, even when you know it's there, it's still hard to see it. Witness the wrap-around spiders of genus Dolophones, native to Australia, who have perfected the art of BEING the tree. There are 17 species, each specializing in a particular disguise. (📷: dustaway)

checking in with the inexplicably pressed homie. i asked how his day is going a few hours ago and just got a text back that says only "dinnertime 😫😫😫💀💀💀"

Common Loon showing off for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #WaterDroplets (birds with water droplets on them). I love how the droplets are in perfectly straight lines and patterns on the loon's head. #birds #photography

Today I visited Zealandia and of course asked about the chance of seeing the resident takahē. Basically no chance, my guide replied. Their habitat is off-limited to visitors right now and they rarely venture beyond it. Resigned to this, I sat down on bench to watch riflemen...and who peeked out?

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

1:08am, mods are asleep. Post pancakes

This is a fun drawing, because it’s a fish-thing no matter how you look at it. But not the same fish-thing.

Happy Book Day! My graphic novel Speaking in Pictures is finally out in the world! I planned this book for over 20 years and spent 7 years writing and drawing it, so I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I did creating it 🥳 www.visuallanguagelab.com/sip

Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick

Emptied a murky bucket of water in the garden, out tumbled this amiable fellow.

Incredible tidepooling experience: last week in Coos Bay Oregon I saw thousands of northern kelp crabs (Pugettia productus) with @paleowin.bsky.social, all huddled in a large #tidepool. I have no idea what was happening. Bonus fossil scallop if you can find it 🦀🦑🧪

yes, we’re going to need trials and accountability, but we’re also going to need to take our stolen money back from this crime lord family.

I would really like to see a tally of how many warehouses DHS has actually purchased vs want vs have been denied

Sometimes I can’t believe this dog is real.

Hannity last night: We need to invade Iran because they won't give up their nuclear program. Hannity last June: Iran's “nuclear ambitions” are “officially dead” after Trump "obliterated" their nuclear sites. www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity...

Prospect Park (Minneapolis) bridge brigade, the morning after 7" of snow... after a week with 50°F weather and Tom Homan's nonexistent "removal" of the federal paramilitary occupation of Minnesota.

Have there been any prior productivity tools that had a) widespread public performance of their use or non-use, and b) the performance of use or non-use was a significant source of social credit and/or condemnation?

The possibility that pre-Elon Twitter was limiting the reach of conservative tweets was the greatest story in the history of journalism, while a vast network of sex trafficking pedophiles that included billionaires, celebrities and two presidents is just a big yawn.

On this day in 1923, the U.S. Supreme Court *unanimously* decided that people of South Asian descent could not be American citizens, and retroactively stripped citizenship from many who had already been naturalized. Years of organized persecution followed. www.saada.org/explore/publ...

This is what I want my government to spend their slush fund on. 🦭 🦑

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Story of the Week - Damieka Thomas only needed 1200 words to paint a vivid character portrait in “Nepo Baby.” Thomas has given a masterful example of how to develop a character implicitly by dropping the character into a scene and letting her react to it. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/dami...

NIMBY of the year nominee

Trump v. United States is an illegitimate decision.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Not sure what this is, but I think it’s running.

Today’s kiln-haul! This will be my first time trying ceramic jewelry 🤞

Did people always pay their eel-rents? Hell no! In 1250 the abbot of Tupeholm sued the nuns Stykeswald. The nuns owed the abbot a yearly rent of 6 sticks of eels, but hadn't paid for 3 years! That's 450 eels, folks. Scandalous! The nuns agreed to pay a fine, and life went on. 🗃️🧪

it didn't work

What’s this? Another new art piece? Lonely Vigil - I’ve had this bouncing around my head since I got back from Minnesota in November. Finally got it done. #art

Tomorrow you may see James David Vance or some other purported Catholic from this administration with ashes on their forehead, it’s important to remember that it’s all just for show.

day 2 of inventing the ham wallet, the only wallet made of deli meat: unforeseen complications have brought the nature of the project into question

Liberals say that concentration camps filled with children have no place in a democracy. They're wrong—concentration camps filled with children have no place in a republic.

Hm. Read this as the US Department of Health and Human Sacrifices and was not surprised (have redacted for sanity and decency).
