June 11, 1991, Mount Pinatubo on the Philippine island of Luzon erupts. In the following day volcanic activity increases. The resulting VEI 6 eruption was the second-largest eruption of the 20th century (after the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in Alaska) ...

Commentary: I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

I do think ai psychosis is kind of funny in terms of revealing how many men are apparently already quietly going around thinking they're on the verge of inventing a new kind of math or physics

STOP PLAYING POKEMON GO. It’s been an obvious data mine for years

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Happy pride month!! 🪨🏳️‍🌈

Das sind nicht "Proteste", sondern versuchte Pogrome und das ist auch nicht "die Folge eines Messerangriffs eines Asylsuchenden", sondern nicht zu rechtfertigende Gewalt eines von rechtsextremen Anpeitschern aufgehetzten Mobs. Nein, da braucht es kein "Verständnis". www.srf.ch/news/interna...

Truth nuke

the most "cyberwitch" thing you could do that gives actual meaning to the phrase rather than just being another lame attempt at an aesthetic is to whisper secrets (such as stolen patented gene sequences) to your coven by way of birdsong

this latest flare up of racist violence in the UK comes after sustained weeks-long reporting on how "diversity training" caused a white man's death. the entire government and media have vowed to destroy diversity completely: however: it's not enough for the fascists

Cloaked like a phantom in the shade You'd lie and watch me disintegrate #furry #furryart #dawnchorusvn

‘The Elder Scrolls VI’ was announced 8 years ago today

The problem with cis society is that they don't see anything wrong with forcing trans kids through natal puberty because they think natal puberty is "normal" and "normal" is the default and therefore good. Just like white people see whiteness as the default and therefore good.

we're basically here rn

the terminator vision in the first movie is so fucking raw

this fucking image is so stupid but it kills me

This is a nice tectonic offset in the volcanic dike. ⚒️🧪 #geology

@ec.europa.eu start sanctioning American companies using slave labor and make sure it is known that they will be added to the embargo if they do so as well. Take action. There's enough missing people that we should be worried about where the ice ethnic cleansing team are disposing of the corpses.

Switzerland will soon vote on whether to cap its population. But who is actually entitled to vote? In one of the 26 cantons, a majority of residents have *no* political rights (50.3%). A minority of residents is empowered to decide the fate of those who are most directly affected by the outcome

See ya

So RFK Jr is literally doing the “cure isn’t profitable, so we are going to ban the cure while selling desperate people expensive treatment that doesn’t work” thing that he claims medical science is doing.

love these critters, to death :) #casualtiesunknown

screworm outbreak is another good opportunity to remind americans that government is what protects us from things like this and not the magical free market. want safe food? government, bitch.

The grand palace of Neo-Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II had a room completely decorated by these muscular eagle-headed protective spirits, accompanying the king. Their name is unknown (afaik), and the cone in his hand is described in Assyrian texts as a purifier, to fertilize sacred palm trees.

I feel it is important to also note that it didn't need to be this way, Iran need not have been the only country which is willing to escalate on the issue of Beirut or Lebanon. Europe and especially France make a big show of being Lebanon's sister but have done nothing, less than zero, for it.

Next, @mebenitez.bsky.social article "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in @tvolmag.bsky.social! She uses examples from her own research about how using established ethograms prevented recording and studying same-sex sexual behaviors! (4/n) 🧪🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth www.prosocial.world/posts/dont-a...

This thread has become something really special because of the comments from people who experienced the epidemic first hand, many if which lost friends and loved ones. They deserve to be heard and recognized. This is what Pride month is about.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

this discourse may have reached its narrative peak

we may see something more politically disruptive than the current gas prices, a big mac costing $20

whenever people get into arguments about bluesky versus twitter I just come back to the fact that I don’t want to spend time on a platform where the biggest voices are the worst people on the planet

"That One Fucking Horse Video" - Oil on canvas, 2026 Enjoy some new horse art from me.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

Reagan first started making college more expensive because he explicitly wanted to prevent any additional mass left-wing uprisings and protests. This is a long-term ideological project to disempower non-conservative movement that has spanned decades.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

it still feels wildly arbitrary which indie games have received film adaptation and which ones did not

Never forget

Something I just had to remember in so many conversations is that most "free speech warriors" constantly complained about purely fictional stories of censorship while laughing at the fact that probably the largest censor is copyright & copyright-claims being levied if real or fabricated.

to give you an idea how bad the situation is, farmers routinely use russian hacking tools if they want to repair or modify their john deere tractors

I don’t have space for the fifth (the parasaurolophus) but here’s the palaeo adjacent patterns I’ve made this year! They’ll all be coming to DinoCon printed on a few bits 🦖

Age Verification laws are actually just pro-identity-theft laws designed to further impoverish average people, and anti-LGBTQ laws designed to censor LGBTQ speech.

June 4, 1889, birthday of German-American geophysicist & seismologist Beno Gutenberg. Born in Darmstadt, he studied there meterology first, but after attending a course on how to use geophysical instruments he changed to physics in Göttingen ...

The fascist call to familial and national strength is the same stuff documented by Wilhelm Reich in the 30s. "Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." So wild to see them lay it out so directly.
