I did not know this & I have a new life ambition

i remember as a little kid thinking i would never see a wild eagle or peregrine falcon or a pronghorn antelope, & now all 3 are pretty common. the falcons even live right downtown in big cities. The ESA and the EPA (& their Cdn analogues) did that

Crazy how People is the remaining publication that just goes for the jugular.

“One man died after he reportedly fell 30 feet and broke his neck while being pursued by agents … By all accounts, he was a glorious human being. A family man, a father, and the sole supporter of his family, working hard to give his children a chance in this grand, American land of promise.”

Platner officially withdraws his Senate candidacy, and the Maine secretary of state's office confirms receipt of the papers. This triggers the process for Maine Democrats to replace him, by July 27 under state law.

Y’all need to get right with god and eat your dogs with some coleslaw on ‘em

Almost exactly 14 years ago on my lunch break in Union Square the day after they ended our 2012 WC. I am a petty bitch who is STILL holding this grudge

🐶 No politics.😅 No arguments. Just dogs. Reply with the happiest photo of your dog. Let's make this the most wholesome thread on X today. ❤️ Original post

These kinds of laws have an invisible ripple effect across the country. A good number of corporations will just change their policies instead of making a NYC-specific protocol. A lot of the consumer protections we have started in one state or big city.

“Vice” President. Like, if the real president dies from the strain of taking a shit or something, I get an actual job.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

along with the huge corruption investigations, democrats need to do a million little things like this AND THEN BRAG ABOUT IT

"leftists don't actually like godzilla" is one of those sentences that will stick with me for awhile

How should Iran respond if Trump assassinates their leader? Oh, wait.

1. He wouldn't be president or C-n-C anymore so... 2. Sweet fucking tapdancing Christ WTF

GET A JOB STAY AWAY FROM HER

Gonna take our dog there

Just a friendly reminder that we're now into like the fifth month of a war that CONGRESS NEVER VOTED TO INITIATE.

Bored of Peace

My main fear at that age was just nuclear annihilation. This is more terrifying.

it's Friday Night

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

Mail order mayhem. Trump Jr invested heavily in GrabaGun, a business ventures designed to sell guns by mail. His father then instantly took a series of regulatory steps designed to enable the GrabaGun business venture, making the investment hugely profitable overnight.

This Day in Labor History: July 10, 1989. Soviet coal miners struck over their low wages and unsafe conditions. This was the most important internal labor uprising contributing to the fall of the Soviet Union!

Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

we are scarily close to general artificial intelligence

Look at this VERY Large and also Very Good Boy at the Ratboys show. I love him soooo much

🚨🚨🚨

Made it to the Ratboys show. It really is just really pleasant out and waaaay less crowded than last month. Y’all should come out, Baltimore! I’m wearing my derpy baseball dog shirt. Come say hi!

SCUM

So the first act has been cancelled but WTMD just said that they are going ahead with the other opener and Ratboys starting at 7

Mbappe STUFFED! Holy shit!

Can't imagine why so many people think he's on drugs all the time

All the greatest hits.

anyways, the big tech companies pivoting to AI want us dead 🤪 so sign up for our newsletter! donate to our newsroom! but most of all: be aware of these changes that are happening in every corner of the internet and changing in very real ways what comes across your screen

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

In a way, anything can be The News

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Jesus Christ. This administration is just one racist atrocity after another.

Always always always always read @rtraister.bsky.social -- and especially on Graham Platner, women, and what comes next. nymag.com/intelligence...

But by the time Klippenstein was out here calling less messy and masculine candidates "smooth groined," perhaps folks should have questioned the energy behind all of this, what was being normalized, and to what end. That's all I am asking for now—that people question what they got wrapped up in.

On this day in 1981, Richard Cobb got an honorary degree from the University of Essex. That may not seem significant to you, but it makes this afternoon the 45th anniversary of one of the finest graduation addresses ever delivered 🧵

Yep, provided it doesn’t get rained out. Last month’s show with Fantastic Cat was fun as hell

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

There's only one kind of affirmative action program that conservatives love, and it's their own crusade to prop up their unpopular ideas and force them on college students. Massive funding, entire programs devoted to the cause, even mandated courses now. And it's still not working.
