Sienna in Thailand November. Just saved from a life of living on the streets. Sienna in Wales yesterday exploring the countryside. I’d love to be inside her head to see what she is thinking ❤️

For more than two decades, Mona Khalil protected the endangered sea turtles that laid their eggs on a beach in Lebanon and kept predators away from the hatchlings. On June 4, she was wounded in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, and on Friday, she died of her injuries, a close friend said.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

She is a very special girl indeed is Marilyn Monroe. It takes a lot to break a dog but she was very nearly there. She is utterly exhausted. Time to start changing her life

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “One of the great but incomplete moral revolutions of our lifetime has been the expansion of our compassion to encompass farm animals in a limited way, even as corporate agriculture pushes in the other direction,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

Had a chat with Independent Senator David Pocock and journalist Marian Wilkinson about the oil and gas lobby, climate change and where it all went wrong.

Unreliable narrator stories are fun until you live through a global-economy tanking war between two sets of relentless liars both trying to influence a stock market full of investors who don't actually care what's true.

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

Sometimes the answer to “how do stupid things keep happening?” Is “people can find intelligent-sounding ways to rationalize anything”

“Their main goal is not to scare us away. They're shooting to kill” Palestinian villager, Akram Abu Ali, who lives in the occupied West Bank witnessed Israeli settlers shoot and kill a boy who was trying to save his friend from being beaten. Read Theia Chatelle’s report: zeteo.com/p/israeli-se...

You won’t believe what little Stormzy does every night before bed. He is just too precious ❤️

To all who celebrate

We just learned about this incredible book. Every day it is a joy to be able to give our senior residents a happy, healthy life, but it’s also sad knowing what a rare opportunity it is for farmed animals to grow old. 💔 bsky.app/profile/isal...

remarkable how every investor in this FT piece basically says: a state that heavily controls capital, with a central bank subordinated to government priorities, is a safer heaven in the new geopolitical reality of petrowars www.ft.com/content/7221...

I just love how regal Sienna now looks. It is as if for the first time in her life she is proud of herself ❤️

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Please join us in bidding a happy farewell to our geese guests! They came to us unexpectedly last month when a homesteader surrendered his severely neglected animals to us. We knew we couldn’t keep them permanently but also knew we couldn’t let them die there.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Are the 4 mile wide coal plants their building in the room with us right now?

You know, it’s just possible to feel really bad about the violent deaths of Israeli Jews, the genocide in Palestine and the deaths of Australian Jews all while being neither anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. Somehow that has become impossible for the political class.

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

One reason these folks focus on the Culture War is because it’s easy. You don’t have study or accomplish anything, or master any skill or area of knowledge. You just have to express your feelings about whatever the latest trending topic is.
