I for one believed this to be a Ralph Lauren ad due to the nearly identical logo and overall aesthetics. This belief made me think less of and be less inclined to purchase Ralph Lauren.

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

If I never have to read some person saying "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" about why some guy should still be elected to one of the most powerful positions in the country despite numerous sexual assault allegations it will be too soon

As this stage of the Internet and social media ages, you are going to have to block, mute, and just overall CURATE your feed way more than you used to because so many strange behaviors have become digitally acceptable

World Central Kitchen is another excellent organization to donate to: wck.org

If Swalwell made you or someone you know sign an NDA or settlement agreement, email [email protected] We have a lawyer for you. You will be anonymous. You are not the only one.

I'm moonscrolling

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

OH MY GOD!!!! What a shot! (My bracket lives!)

Every woman I know will zoom in to inspect a man’s tattoos when we browse a dating profile and I just think it’s funny that that means we’re more rigorous in our vetting process than the Dems are

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

everybody tell me what you notice first, there’s no right or wrong answer I’m genuinely curious what jumps out at ppl www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m a feminist public health professor and the only elected union leader in the race for Susan Collins’ US Senate seat. Andreaformaine.com

Literally the Trump DOJ going easy on child pornography because they can't do their job

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

TIL the story of the incident that led Dunning and Kruger to conduct a study that gave us... the Dunning-Kruger effect And it's a doozy

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

@peggyflanagan.bsky.social at the SD66 convention “I am running to avenge Minnesota”

That video of Hillary going off in that hearing? I saw quote posts saying things like maybe if she acted more like this when she was running she would have won. Ask yourself why you needed her to act out to vote for her. Especially when she told us EVERYTHING we needed to hear.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

#Treetops Emit #Ultraviolet Sparkles During #Thunderstorms. Researchers Just Filmed It in Nature for the First Time Link for more info and photos: www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/t...

Well i just got a lovely message from someone who said she had printed this out and read it to her grandmother. Who was now insisting she tell the "internet dragon love story man" how much she loved it. And i can honestly say that has made my week if not my year.

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

If you ever think your vote doesn’t count…

My daughter: in the TLC song “No Scrubs,” what do they mean by “scrub”? Me: Honey this is the one and only pop song in history that opens up with a dictionary and thesaurus entry.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

speaking as someone old enough to remember, the Cold War was very bad and imminently apocalyptic in ways our life today isn’t, but the psychic damage was different. We didn’t *know* about Able Archer until years later. I’d say this is much more of a constant assault on dignity and sanity.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

NYC! As the owner of a former Brooklyn street cat I can highly recommend fostering!!! These two are probably not feral, tbh—they know to seek out soft places. If they’re litter trained it’s likely that they’re former pets whose owner died or otherwise wasn’t able to take care of them

Look, if not for Bluesky, you'd have no idea who Jeremy is. I think that settles any question of its relevance.

WAKE UP EVERYONE UNICORN SPINOSAURUS JUST SPAWNED www.sciencefocus.com/news/new-din...

For the sake of popular BlueSky discourse, from the same archive I offer you the thoughts of an old leftist (born '31) on the importance of votes in the US electoral system in the wake of GW's first victory and the importance of laying the groundwork for third-party candidates to have success.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Cause that's what heroes do.

Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

If you’re helping to provide food to neighbors who are avoiding going out because of ICE, reminder that some of them will be observing Ramadan soon and providing them with nourishing and festive foods or at least a quality/fancy box of dates on top of what you’re already doing would be A+

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak. But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

Listen. The average person just doesn’t need training to know that it’s wrong to kill people. This is not some big complex problem that requires expertise to get right. If ICE is killing people, it’s from a lack of morality, not a lack of knowledge.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

"CBP’s arrest and misconduct rate is 5 TIMES higher than other federal law enforcement agencies — and, in fact, if you look over the last decade, the arrest rate of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents (.5%) has been HIGHER than the arrest rate of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. (.4%)."

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.
