THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of excellent cats I have met on walks. You will find the captions to the photos in the alt text.

This will gut the economy in Springfield. And I don't know who they imagine will come in to save the day and open businesses or fill jobs there in their place. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“Turn around, go back to the place where you belong, and we’ll all forget this ever happened.”

This is Holly. Every day for the past 5 years, she picks out a stick and brings it to her favorite spot for “zen time.” While her stick may change, her routine never does. 13/10 (IG: hollythebluestaffy)

Thousands seek way out as South Africa braces for anti-immigrant protests reut.rs/4wcHirr

Apparently actual chokeholds are legal in this match???

WATCH: According to Bloomberg Law, Stephen Miller was behind a DOJ memo that lets states institutionalize Americans with disabilities instead of funding the community care that allows them to remain home—undoing decades of reform and precedent.

If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

Occasionally DeWine sticks his neck out a tiny bit on the side of humanity. Not only is it amoral and inhumane to send these folks back to Haiti, this is going to have a dire effect on the economy in Springfield.

Ordered!

This is Richard. He's sometimes accused of not being a real dog because of his weird paws and inability to bark. Thinks his pack would say otherwise. 12/10 for all (IG: richardandtheguardians)

I think what Christians at whole and western Christians specifically miss It actually matters less if there is a God Than how they treat their neighbors

I’m moving to teaching all 7/8 grade science this upcoming year. I have ideas brewing but we need some supplies! I appreciate any reposts. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

* LEBANESE PRESIDENT AOUN SAYS WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS THAN END OF 'ISRAELI OCCUPATION' OF SOUTHERN LEBANON @reuters.com

I was born there. Museum is cool especially with access to train station. Heat sitting inside the baseball stadium (last one and this one) by the river is absolutely damn miserable. Humidity just sits there. CINCINNATI STYLE CHILI IS AN ABOMINATION.

Mbappé 🤌🏼

Honestly shocked it took 13 minutes. Inévitable.

JD Vance has described the violence in Lebanon as "These things are always a little bit messy" Israel has so far killed 4,106 and injured 12,153 people since March 2

“The @nyknicks did NOT say yes to a White House visit. The owner did without asking them… It’s plantation-level bullshit by a short white man who got all his💰from his daddy.” Best-selling author @jeffpearlman.bsky.social on Dolan *accepting* the visit. @jalenbrunson1 @karltowns.bsky.social

Firstly, go check out this whole thread for some joy. Secondly, if you're a French teacher, this painting works great for linking in the arts/artists who worked in France with vocabulary for colors, furnishings and prepositions. #LangChat

Post 1 photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands. La Liberté guidant le peuple, Eugène Delacroix June 2019. My last visit to the Louvre.

@skwinnicki.bsky.social look at this artist at the Worthington Arts Festival! She said she became obsessed with birds first, then became an artist. I think she's trying to paint every bird species in North America? The festival is still on tomorrow if you wanted to check her out!

alright, who did this? #hatm

A prominent OB-GYN group has announced a set of vaccine recommendations that differs from what the U.S. government advises. Here’s what you need to know.

A Black man with the surname Freeman scored for the USA on Juneteenth in a home World Cup match.

how many educational institutions is his personal DOJ currently doing everything in their power to destroy because some students said stuff like this

Today is Juneteenth and we are also potentially days away from a public charge reg that aims to stop non-white immigrants from existing in the U.S. So I recommend reading my colleague Kat Lundie's new piece on how slavery and public charge are historically intertwined www.nilc.org/articles/the...

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

Our school district's device policy somehow doesn't include Meta glasses at this point so we have kids telling us they NEED to wear them because they are prescription. Sorry, I guess you won't be taking any assessments with me while you're wearing those. Also, why is anyone buying these for a teen??

The only acceptable use of Claude

This is Bagel. He has traveled far and wide, experienced many different cultures, seen all kinds of sights, and most importantly, figured out his best angles. 13/10 (IG: livingwithbagel)

Low-hanging fruit for journalists: ask Gill what Bonhoeffer did. High likelihood Gill answers with neo-Nazi esoterica about how Bonhoeffer was a traitor who was lawfully executed for attempting a violent overthrow of the State. (On Hitler's orders, he was given a show trial then murdered.)

Ticks can be active in any season and it’s important to check for and remove the bloodsuckers as quickly as possible. Here's how to suit up to reduce your risk, especially if you're hiking, gardening or enjoying nature.

A bird I couldn't identify was making a ruckus in the area behind my house (comprised of several yards with many tall trees over 50 yrs old). Did a #TenMinuteMerlin to see who was there today. Turns out it was the Red-bellied Woodpecker making the most noise this morning!

In the olden days wealthy evil people coerced court jesters to caper about idiotically for their amusement. Nothing has really changed. The only difference is it now happens in the form of Instagram reels and helps boost their ad revenue.

He’s not sure about this part

"Many of you have asked why an institution with a $46 billion endowment is freezing salaries, rescinding job offers, refusing to adjust tenure tracks, and laying off staff instead of using an endowment the size of Iceland's GDP to keep our community afloat."

What Ivanka & Jared are doing is worse than I thought they are destroying natural wetlands of Albania. The corruption is unpalatable. Ariel Brunner is fighting them tooth & nail and boy oh boy is he angry. As he should be. Ariel Brunner is Europe & Central Asia Director of BirdLife International.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.
