One of my favourite facts is that the spiky tail of a stegosaurus didn't used to have a specific name, until Gary Larson published this Far Side cartoon, at which point "thagomizer" was adopted by paleontologists.

I read this without reading the QT first and absolutely thought it was about trump.

When you’re an addict you get to relive the feeling of being executed every night before bed. Usually it doesn’t take and you fall through the trap door and come out the other side like holy shit I’m alive what the fuck. But sooner or later the device generally works as it is intended to.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

a fun fact that I will never tire of is that the brits cooked up the idea of a “vote of no confidence“ specifically to ditch the govt that lost the war against the US colonies, which is why our constitutional tradition doesn’t benefit from their innovation

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

Y’all please be on the lookout… this is fake

According to internal communications reviewed by @sfgate.com and interviews with multiple national parks employees, the Department of the Interior has blacklisted SFGATE. One employee was told SFGATE isn’t “in line with the administration’s views.” www.sfgate.com/national-par...

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

I'm old, so lots, but Behind the Green Door is the most interesting. I was home sick from school and found 3, 6hr porn VHS tapes in my stepdad's sock drawer. I was like 12 and learned many things that day.

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Know thyself

I'm going to rather enjoy watching some people who could have happily made 7 figures till the end of their lives by sticking to their talking out their ass on TV careers instead set their whole lives on fire in about 18 to 36 months in highly public humiliations

Para Ice Hockey is the coolest shit I've ever seen

“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.” Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.

For the love of god, would someone please get maque a boat!?

New: Formula 1 officially cancels races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia due to Iran war Top officials for F1 and the FIA announce the decision, citing safety concerns. They WON'T be replaced, meaning no races in April and a 5-week gap between Japan & Miami. www.nbcnews.com/sports/formu...

Can I just meekly pout against the dying of the light, maybe a couple of times a week, while in the shower?

It is hard to overstate, for non-lawyers, just how milquetoast the ABA is in normal times. It’s supposed to be boring insurance lawyers leading workshops with boring tax lawyers, trying to drum up business. A pissed off ABA is like dentists manning the barricades and singing Le Marseillaise.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

I’m also of the mind that utilities shouldn’t be privately owned

MAYBE WE CAN SELL WAR BONDS BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE CALLED "PEACE BONDS" OR SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S NOT A WAR NO YOU BE QUIET

Real smart or really smart, who's to say!?

LISTEN UP! YOU NEED TO DO THIS ASAP!!! If you support marginalized people, do this. If you support sex workers, do this. If you support artists, do this. If you say "fuck censorship", do this. I can't begin to tell you how important this is, ya'll.

www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa... Federal Reserve is asking for public comment on potential regulations for the Board of Governors no longer compelling banks to deny services based on reputational risk. IF YOU'RE IN THE US PLEASE GO COMMENT THAT YOU WANT BANKS TO NO LONGER DENY LEGAL SERVICES

Found a candidate in Maine running to unseat Collins who doesn't have a certain other candidate's baggage, might be worth paying attention to!

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)

People are dumb the answer is obviously hovercrafts

An actual ICE pig is running for Congress *in Minnesota* and the @nytimes.com is glazing her because she’s trying to oust @ilhanmn.bsky.social.

Can this be a solution?

Huge chunks of the GOP will be single-issue voters on "RACISM ALWAYS" and we're told we have to pander to them. But when members of a marginalized group say their single issue is being allowed to exist, Dems start making that sound the guy in Invasion of the Body Snatchers does.

Fitting that they sent the Temu version of a cease and desist

The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions. Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.

losing an hour on International Women’s Day feels right

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

BREAKING Initial reports of an explosion at the U.S embassy in Norway, no reports of casualties

What bums me out is that the Iranian people are unquestionably a great people and they're just stuck in the middle of a power struggle between two atrocious authoritarian regimes
