I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

They've lost the 9yos

I will freely admit that I stood there, feeling emotional, for several minutes and very nearly cried. Just exquisite work and deeply, deeply meaningful

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

Absolute Queen Shit from a stone-cold legend

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

This by FAR will be the most accurate video you see all day. BY FAR

Thinking about this for no particular reason today

“i should buy a boat”

Expert here: We were not, in fact, ever puzzled. It has been and always will be a writing tablet. www.indy100.com/news/ancient...

Peter Thiel giving lectures about the antichrist is just another illustration of the fact that the most dangerous thing about billionaires is that they exist in a world where nobody tells them their stupid ideas are stupid and are therefore prone to inflict their stupid ideas on all of us.

Ms Olive is sick and we could really use your help! Looks like she needs to have at least one of her salivary glands surgically removed. It's very difficult for her to swallow anything right now. It's scary and I hate it. I've got to get her to the vet ASAP. Plz share!

Multiple people have been shot at the Dallas ICE field office, ABC reports

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

Its really not good that generative AI does this and will literally flip the valence of the actual history

It physically exists! 📘 Congrats to @lisariemers.bsky.social and Matisse for what I know was a monumental collaboration. Guidance and particularly practical advice to make your comms and content accessible to all. Everyone benefits, everyone. Accessible Communications book - available now.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Hey, @darthbluesky.bsky.social, my girl Ms Olive needs to get to the vet ASAP and probably needs to have one or more salivary glands surgically removed. Little help?

In 10 minutes millions of normies are going to find out their local ABC channel is pro-censorship

The day after the 2004 election, i saw some graffiti on a column in the Bedford Ave subway stop that read "after the rapture, we get all their shit." It stuck with me and I used it as tagline in all my online bios for years. I'm now sick of waiting. Tick tock, freaks.

This may have been the most insane and incoherent four days of his presidency. Tylenol, the U.N., I hate my opponents, other countries are going to hell, this escalator's broken, I'm mad at a TV comedian, I like Ukraine now. It really feels as if some minimal tether to reality has snapped.

We're over half way! THANKS SO MUCH!

We're over half way! THANKS SO MUCH!

These photos of Claudia Cardinale feeding cats spaghetti should honestly replace the Italian flag

The lessons of Carpe Jugulum are that every generation must kill its vampires.

We went from 10% to exactly a third of the way to our goal in like 15 minutes thanks to all of our favorite red pandas. Thanks so much! We’re gonna get this girl fixed! We love all of y’all

(YouTube is garbage)

There was a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in 2024.

FWIW, doesn't NJ have a Democratic governor and legislature now? Might be worth, you know, revisiting? WNET does some pretty good TV shit, after all

JFC. Messrs Springsteen, Bongiovi et al, where you at?

2025 sucks.

[new Isaac Chotiner interview]

Demonstrators were shot with more pepper balls and rubber bullets Monday at ICE’s Broadview facility. “The fact that they’re shooting me is getting me more worked up. … Every day off I’ll make sure I’m out here.” “It’s like igniting a fire.” Story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Baltimore folks 🥺

BTW, that pic was taken this morning. See that big string of saliva? That's the problem. One or more of her salivary glands are so swollen that she can't swallow. Probably something called salivary mucocele and it sucks. She's miserable and it shows

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new AI video generator tool. 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Help out a BARCS alum!

I'm really interested in the psychology of the masked up ICE agent with the Facebook camera glasses who also appears to be wearing a "Don't Tread on Me" Gadsden Flag. Is it meant ironically? How does he square current ICE targets and tactics with the ethos the flag has traditionally represented?

From Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Denmark’s Defence Committee:

It’s not possible to stop generative AIs from lying. Any improvements will only make them more convincing liars. Which makes them perfect tools for propaganda.

ffs just quit your jobs already this is embarrassing

This is Cuddles. When his previous human passed, he wound up in a shelter. He needed some lumps removed and his teeth were mostly brownish green at the gums, requiring 11 dental extractions. With your help, we covered his $854 medical bill. Cuddles was very quickly adopted ❤️‍🩹

This is deranged even by Politico's standards

We're talking about a nuclear power invading another country and the leader of the free world changes his mind 'because whatever' seems like a scary way to do business. Putin announcing a Trump Tower coming to New Russia (formerly Crimea) tomorrow is not off the table

Hey, know that guy that RIF’d your job? He has some opinions for you

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow
