Joyce Beatty is why the name came off the Kennedy Center. Her focus and tenacity... It should escape no one that she's also a Black woman.

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates. https://scim.ag/4vs08dC

all those guys on the front lawn of the white house tonight are there because it's not their weekend with their kids and i think it is beautiful when men sync up their custody cycles

I have been working on societal impacts of language technology since late 2016, and my nightmare example since pretty early on has been using automatic transcription in emergency services systems. And today I learn it's happening *in my own city* www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Short 🧵>>

Tony Bourdain taught us all that a place is full of good food, good people, and good experiences despite very shitty politics and I think it’s kind of classically American to have thought we were excluded from that Venn diagram

Experts Rule Out Mild Illness As Cause Of Severe Repercussions, Instead Blame That Time That You Didn't Get Sick

please enjoy 30 seconds of Adonis making biscuits in front of the air conditioner

I … he what?

Fascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.

holy shit

me too, mothman

What I knew about lenalidomide (Revlimid) before this story: -thalidomide cousin -made myeloma go from a fatal to a manageable cancer -VA costs were much less than private sector After story I know: -drug sells for $1k/pill -costs $0.25/pill to make -raised prices 26 times since 2005 Monstrous 🤬

I would love a Henry thought bubble when Lalas is talking

Reporting on Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire should be done with the same general tone as a lethal virus escaping containment, not as an awesome achievement.

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

Forget Cruyff, Gullit and Van Basten this is the best ever moment in Dutch football.

Been listening to this today while doing some indoor tasks ... in between the goosebumps. Big Mama Thornton's got it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFne...

“Ok but if I cured cancer or had some world changing idea don’t I deserve to be rich” Your “personal” ideas result from the world you live in, collective labor and accumulated social knowledge. Any idea you have can only be implemented through the labor and ideas of others.

Augustus loved the spectacle of watching boxing 🥊 matches & regular Romans engaged in street fighting (Suet. Aug. 45.2). He didn’t set up a gauche UFC arena but it reminds us: men who leave warfare to others often enjoy watching others fight for their benefit—on a battlefield or in an amphitheater.

The fact that Elon Musk is now one of history’s greatest mass-murderers, due to his total destruction of USAID, is still far too little-known. It’s on all of us to shout this from the rooftops. Never shut up about Elon Musk’s genocidal crimes.

The annual "tug off war" in the village of Henstead, Suffolk, remains one of rural Britain's most controversial festivals.

The Abundance Bros are just a repackaged version of Americans For Prosperity.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

"The one simple political solution no one wants you to know about!"

Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick

A good day in sport - NYC’s Knicks win and Mamdani’s NY goes crazy in a great way and the Australian multicultural Socceroos, with many ex- refugees win their 1st match in the World Cup. A giant 1 finger solute to slimy racism that’s oozing out of sewers here. Yes a very good day in sport 🏀 ⚽️

She and Trump can have a nice chat to commiserate. Our leading scorer in our opener is what he refers to as an anchor baby. No matter how they try, the cant co-opt the unity and joy. Well done, Australia. See you on the pitch next week!

📢🧵Today, the FDA’s vaccine committee recommended that updated 2026-2027 COVID vaccines target the XFG variant. All three manufacturers have indicated preparedness to produce an XFG vaccine for fall release, and Sanofi has already started manufacturing of XFG Novavax/Nuvaxovid.

Glasgow now, there is no place in Scotland for racism or fascism.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

There is no gutter low enough for Frank LaRose.

This would make slide tackles so much more interesting.

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.

1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup. Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament. The beautiful game belongs to everyone.

omg ffs we just want healthcare

In Pennsylvania, water bills from privatized systems are 84% more expensive than public ones. After hundreds of residents spoke out, the state Supreme Court blocked the sale of a local public water system to a corporation. Corporate takeover is never inevitable. We can beat it.

The Barred owls were out gossiping at the reservoir last night.

Based on early gifts, there seems to be an (accurate) emerging theme for my upcoming birthday. 😂 @nlanc.bsky.social @gazehound.bsky.social

It continues to be perverse that those with the least power to murder millions are at most risk of the barbarism of the death penalty, while those with power to murder millions are entirely immune not only from that penalty, but even any discontinuance of reward. www.the-reframe.com/the-cost-of-...

Once they get all them letters down the only thing that will be left is patched holes which is sort of the perfect metaphor really. But someone needs to pay for the defacement. 🤔

More footage of what seems like the moment when they took the letters down as best as anybody there could tell

As usual, tho the very first example refers to “brain fog” which commonly follows Covid infections, no one in this article even considers the possibility that repeated infections might be the source of increasing disability claims. We KNOW Covid affects the brain. www.thestar.com/business/why...
