This is something that probably hurts user growth but is unambiguously good about the day to day use of this website. There’s so many grifter accounts with a shit ton of followers that I forget exist bc I don’t repost them and the people I follow don’t repost them, you can actually curate your feed

Plot twist: we were all raptured and this is hell

Good morning, all who were left behind and un-raptured.

ChatGPT is probably the biggest honey pot of willingly-turned over highly confidential information that has ever been created in human history.

#FunFactFriday: Meet the indri, the largest lemur in the world! These tree-dwellers can reach up to 28 in. in length and weigh as much as 21 pounds (9.5 kg). Despite their impressive size, their tails are only about 2 inches long—a tiny remnant of their shared ancestry with monkeys. 📷: Patrick Ross

In only 9 months, we've seen the top-to-bottom transformation of US into an isolationist nation willing to sacrifice economic & political power for nativism. It's happening so quickly & it's so at odds with the values a lot of us were socialized with that it doesn't feel real or possible.

Today I learned that tropical plants can also seasonally lose their leaves, but while temperate plants lose their leaves in winter because there isn't enough sun, tropical plants will lose their leaves during the dry season because it's a way to conserve water

Kind of surreal that a government official was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and there's not even a question that he will continue serving as it nothing ever happened. Like even the most basic standards of public accountability are a joke.

Yes, Jessica. I can report from the ground that the charred and badly burned remains of humanity's savior were than transported to an ICE detention facility in Louisiana in case he rises up again.

I was being watched last night while on my kayak. This large, healthy coyote was sitting on the breakwater and judging me :) I'm glad I had the big camera in the boat with me this time. #mammals 🌿

You can't just tell your dog he's handsome all the time, you also have to compliment his job performance

If you’re wanting to know more about the deeply entangled history of American animation and vaudeville minstrelsy, here’s a deeply informative thread. I only learned this because animation was my major. And I didn’t even have the time to learn all of it. (But that’s a whole other issue.)

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

Telling a bunch of foreign leaders you might kidnap and disappear their citizens AT THE U FUCKING N is wild

What if the rapture happened a long time ago but only Amelia Earhart made the cut?

Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.

Is there a Republican senator that will go on TV and say that Trump and RFK Jr. are lying, threatening public health? No, because this behavior of Johnson's isn't unique to Johnson, it's part of right-wing ideology that animates all Republican senators.

The debate about what Harris could've done while running put aside, her book effectively throwing Biden under the bus and affirming the already widely held belief that he did not value Palestinian Arab life as much as Jewish life means this will be the consensus opinion among Dems by end of decade.

i couldn’t think of anything more eloquent www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-death-...

I don’t think it can be fixed by professors and instructors while the administrators are pushing it.

All I'm gonna say as someone who works in K-12, if you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. The real storm is still on the horizon for higher ed. I don't know how we stop this train before it details everything, but I keep trying.

"Democrats don't have a problem with Arabs and Muslims" versus "a Democratic senator from New York State immediately called the Muslim who won a mayoral primary a jihadist during a drunken rant on a radio show"

Agents are now reportedly directing people with appointments to the ICE Field Office in downtown Chicago:

Two Chicago local district councilors are calling for ICE to release Alejandro Fraire Valdez who was taken by ICE on Friday. According to the statement, ICE refused to tell family where he was being held. He has since described overcrowded, inhumane conditions w people sleeping on bathroom floors.

Per photographer Matthew Kaplan this morning, ICE has now fenced off the street in front of the Broadview processing facility.

Per Samba TV analysis, Kirk memorial was watched by mostly old white people

Yep.

People in palestine are bracing for greater crackdown as Israel punishes them for statehood recognition by UK, Canada, & Australia. As I, and many others, have pointed out - these proclamations of recognition do nothing to stop the violence.

This is so cool.

Happy Tuesday #BookSky Your strategy question for this week! How do we harness & channel the energy that got ABC/Disney to change course on Kimmel to protect books from marginalized communities? How do we connect those issues? How do we bring in new potential allies?

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day to all the bisexuals who did not get raptured.

I wonder what happened, I was in Arizona last week and Grindr was working just fine

Congressmember @velazquez.house.gov has introduced a bill in Congress that would bar immigration agents from wearing facial coverings during enforcement actions. "This administration is out of control, and it's affecting everyone."

Unfortunately it’s quite true. Administrators certainly don’t seem to care, and indeed are more likely to hype up “AI pedagogy” (all of which is bullshit) than listen to teachers/deal with the reality. I exert a ton of energy to limit (not eliminate) student “AI” usage. It’s very, very, very bad.

So anyone get raptured yet?

the last time the Rapture allegedly came around, I made a funny post about it on my tumblr and the realisation of this has aged me about 300 years

This is the best piece of commentary I’ve seen in a while. Thank you.

It's time! youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

I think if you're GWAR, having Libs of TikTok introduce you to her entire dingbat audience is probably the best thing that could possibly happen

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

All science is political. I can understand scientists outside the US are sick of hearing US scientists talking about politics… but you can curate your feed to follow more folk elsewhere in the world instead of pretending that politics is irrelevant to science.

like okay, i get wanting to just see cool papers and stuff, but uhh i'm a trans scientist in the US as funding crumbles trying to support my students, including those who are Black, Indigenous, disabled, neurodivergent, immigrants, international, queer, trans, the list goes on- idk what to tell you?

how is it 2025 and we still have to remind scientists that science IS POLITICAL scientist are PEOPLE and some of us would really like to keep having rights!!!

Science is dominated by male native-English-speakers with elevated affluence. It's a demographic that makes up less than 3% of the total global population. If someone wants to keep politics out of science, they are comfortable enforcing the status quo that benefits them (a small privileged group).

ICE terrorized a 5-year-old girl, detaining her outside her home to manipulate her father. The parents have active applications for asylum. So, what is the point of this, except cruelty and racism? What has become of our country?

Gonna turn out that Tylenol actually causes the Rapture

Do you think they went after tylenol because pro-choice groups often say that mifepristone is safer than tylenol

If I were the Rep for Blondie, I would probably have a special sale on the track "Rapture", for tomorrow. Just sayin'.
