In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

I hate that this is normal

Thus series is great #booksky

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

LEGENDARY

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Friends and colleagues going to Sharks International @sharks-int.bsky.social #SI2026, I will be wearing my freelance science journalist hat at the meeting. If you have an upcoming study or conservation initiative that you think should get some media attention, let’s chat!

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

We compromise now with strikes, vacation time, and severance packages. #workersrights #mayday store.ironcircus.com/products/fai...

I'll give the man credit -- every day I think I can't hate him more, and every day he proves me wrong.

Happy May Day everyone.

The US Army liberated Dachau concentration camp 81 years ago. One of the people imprisoned there was 31-year-old Walter Cieślik. He was one of the first people to set about securing documents immediately after the liberation. Learn more about him on our website: arolsen-archives.org/en/news/forg...

You probably see pics of us like this and think "Oh! So ferocious, these creatures!" Those are yawns. We're yawning.

Charlottesville used bookstore’s got game

The Howling freaked me out because it mixed great practical with sex and my young mind wanted to keep looking despite my fear.

Just to put it all in one place 1. Posted a picture of Biden hogtied. 2 Mocked Paul Pelosi 3. Said he was glad Mueller died 4. Threatened the entire Iranian civilisation with being wiped out 5. Fomented an actual coup with extreme violence 6. Is a rapist But the left should tone down the rhetoric

Happy April 28 to all who celebrate!

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

My favorite art history genre is "Judith beheading Holofernes"

tomino literally hitting 'em with the war bad/wow cool robot

if you're a Republican acting shocked and aghast about leftist dipshits circlejerking about stealing from Whole Foods while the President loots the US Treasury for billions of dollars you should probably shut the fuck up forever

A movie where they break in to steal the rich guys whole collection, but they replace them with bad forgeries and giftshop replicas, because the guy is too devoid of taste or the inclination to keep tabs on the art world to even realise he's been robbed.

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Should be part of his next test.

I wonder how much will be a preview of Trump and the midterms
