Hey, I need y'all to hit mute on the TV for 30 seconds and watch a clip of the most Scottish people I've ever seen coming into Boston.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

What else am I supposed to do with niche musings that only three people on the whole internet will give me mercy likes for? Shout them to passersby in the supermarket?

nearly 10% of bird species on the planet can be found in australia, with about half of those being species only found in australia. this is not one of them. (but i do love pigeons, so i’m delighted nevertheless!)

Happy birthday to one of the truly good ones. My favourite is a toss-up between A Promise is a Promise and The Paper Bag Princess, what's yours?

Sound up for adorable baby howls! ❤️ The seven-week-old Red Wolf pups are finding their voices. The litter includes six males and three females, and is the latest success in recovering this critically endangered species. The American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes.

"The Nine Most Terrifying Words In The English Language are 'I'm From the Government, and I'm Here to Help." -- R. Reagan. "I'm the Mayor of New York. The Republican owner of the Knicks canceled the watch party. Let me make a few calls to fix that. We'll show it at every MTA stop in the city!"

They weren't exactly at the top of their form, but the 2016 Heritage Classic Alumni game between the Oilers and the Jets is hard to beat just for sheer concentration of talent on the ice. Teemu. Hawerchuck. Messier. Jarri. Lindstrom. Gretzky (ew).

Your regular reminder from the Western Meadowlark #birds 🌿

Humans have only eradicated 3, maybe 4 diseases. Smallpox was the first Rinderpest was second. We got a whole strain of flu, pretty much by accident, during lockdown/masking. We're still waiting for the final final death call on guinea worm disease, thank you Jimmy Carter et al.

“Brad Paisley, a Grammy Award-winning American country music singer and songwriter, urged his followers to sign a petition to stop the construction of a 69,000-square-foot data center that would be 50 yards from the Nashville Zoo, which he called “an absolute nightmare scenario”

You gotta do the dishes sometimes, bro.

Ok so a cool thing about milk and pasteurization specifically. You ever notice the way you can tell if milk is bad is to sniff it? We don't routinely rely on our sense of smell like that for other foods. Why is milk so special? The answer is pasteurization.

Looking at pictures of suspiciously funnel-shaped clouds in Manitoba and then at the heavy grey sky and complete lack of wind (after it blowing like a mother for the last week) outside is not exactly giving me the warm fuzzies.

It's almost impressive how deep the NHL's commitment to nullifying everything they say they stand for goes. Do sports leagues have a trust thermocline? Because it feels like they're trying to find it.

I was just thinking of how to phrase this but—it connects to the Mike Babcock situation, for me. There's this idea that fucking with a player psychologically in order to "get the best out of him" is somehow acceptable in the name of winning.

The kiwi is old enough to drink (in Canada). My bones are dust. Sad, sad dust.

So this doesn't belong in the Amtrak thread but I still had to share it. I'm very happy to have TikTok send me what the kids are doing for train content.

Every time I get another update from Matt's story, I end up in tears. That he gets to have this part of himself back, and that he's been selfless enough to share it with the world is just—all the feels at once. 💙 to Gabe Vilardi for being a part of it. A Jet I can be proud of.

💚 I love libraries.

womanhood is a promise & a prophecy. womanhood is a poem & a threat. we are forged in flames & shaped by a percussion of hammers. Patriarchy tries to extinguish women at every possible turn while it demands the impossible. bite the hands of every oligarch holding your leash.

This has been something I've been meaning to write for quite some time and the Homer contretemps gave it the opportunity. The thing I most wanted to draw out is that it isn't one fool on Twitter with a helmet, but a radicalization pipeline designed to lead antiquity-curious young men into fascism.

This is an amazing question and also an amazing answer.
