This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

People are absolutely shameless with their spin to help the stupid and incompetent Trump look good. Opening up the Strait of Hormuz and turning over nuclear material—apparently, still not resolved—represent only "5% of the negotiations" on the Iran deal? We were told they were the ONLY conditions.

That’s the most cat thing ever, with sass. 😹

🎬 Ridley Scott's masterpiece "Alien", and the one that started it all, got a limited US theatrical release 47 years ago (May 25, 1979). Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto & Bolaji Badejo. Music by Jerry Goldsmith!

Hey can anyone explain to me why corporate media in the United States is breathlessly reporting on a deal that literally does not exist and whose terms no one agrees on, I mean I understand corporate journalism wants to lick the ball sweat off POTUS but this is getting ridiculous

1/ Dark money isn’t “money in politics.” It’s politics. A parallel system of donors, shells, and blandly named groups that can buy maps, narratives, and outcomes while voters are stuck debating vibes. If you can’t trace the cash, you can’t consent. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Ever wonder what’s four billion light-years away? NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a stunning view of the galaxy cluster MACS J1141.6-1905, located in the constellation Crater. A cosmic reminder of how vast and beautiful our universe really is. 🌌 #Hubble #NASA #Space 1/3

When one writes about their experiences of being sexually assaulted, they receive private messages from both men and women that are intrusive, uninvited, harmful, and dangerously offensive. Here’s just one example. This came from a woman whose name I have removed to protect /1

Good thing Iran giving up uranium and opening the Strait is only 5% or I might be pessimistic about this situation.

Exactly!

To all these politicians saying they are going to read the Epstein list in Congress. Fuck you. You aren’t going to do shit. 🖕

Someone the other day found a Twitter post of mine from 2018 dogging on Tom Brady and within one day I had dozens of replies filled with threats and slurs. That doesn’t happen here. For that I’m grateful.

America’s 911 dispatchers are straining under pressure, leaving thousands of callers waiting during emergencies. The latest from our friends at @revealnews.org:

The historic Alfred Street Baptist Church announced it would fund the Black student government whose funding was cut at Mizzou over DEI restrictions “We take care of our own people,” said Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley.

1. The Trump family’s Epstein problem keeps getting harder to spin. Donald Trump Jr. just married Bettina Anderson yesterday, whose late father, Palm Beach banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr., helped Jeffrey Epstein clean up his image in the late 1990s. They were such good friends that Don’s new father

Will child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell get a payment from Trump's $1.8B "anti-weaponization" slush fund? She was convicted while Biden was president.

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims? Am I getting this right?

Goodnight Blue Sky

Trump Is Now a World-Class Kleptocrat. The president’s demand for a slush fund to pay billions of dollars to his cronies places him among the planet’s most infamous political criminals. newrepublic.com/post/210792/... via @newrepublic.com

One thing people seem to be forgetting is Netanyahu is trying to delay his corruption trials, so if breaking or refusing the ceasefire achieves that goal, he'll do it without a second thought.

How great was it for Colbert to call the guy replacing him, from that cable show, so that nobody would have bad feelings about him? I thought that was extra classy.

I will believe that when I see him read the names. It could just be a way to get some retirement money. None of them will change their spots. MTG said she’d do the same thing. #SheShed

Epstein’s survivors should sue the government for $20 billion for the harm caused by not releasing the rest of the Epstein files.

I finally got a photo of the big fuzzy bumblebee that visits the flowers in my back yard. It's probably a Golden Northern bumblebee. Seeing bees makes me as happy as sering hummingbirds.
