This is who our President is...

Re-watching Bones. My God, I miss actresses' faces that move and show micro expressions.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

I've had some major bouts with depression in my life...becoming most acute in my mid teens. I've been fortunate enough to receive some excellent help when I needed it...from caring therapists and psychiatrists who found the best medication for me. Get help if you need it. There is hope for us all.

Now!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

It also leads to the question of whether we should continue to ask our military to serve with a nation that has openly stated it will commit war crimes.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

“Having comprehensive criteria matters because endometriosis is not a one-dimensional disease. It presents differently from patient to patient, can affect multiple organ systems, and often overlaps with other pain symptoms.” www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/new...

For International Women’s Day on 8 March, The Independent looks at how unequal access to flexibility – rather than flexibility itself – is shaping women’s long-term financial security. Read more: www.independent.co.uk/money/iwd-wo...

Jfc! Hotels need to fully step up to protect women guests, it's always so freaking vulnerable travelling alone. The way Travelodge have dealt with this is criminal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fair dinkum, first against the wall, come the revolution.

Every time I go back and reread sections of the Project 2025 "Mandate," I am horrified anew. Just read the part where they claim that providing universal free school lunch is a method of spreading "radical ideology."

They are being held hostage in Australia by the regime now. “It is believed that people with links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are part of the team’s official delegation. It is listed as a terrorist organisation in Australia.” Why are IRGC allowed here?

This story is worse than the blurb makes it sound and I'm so sick of even READING about sex pests & high-ranked pervs & pedophiles & creeps & violent horrible men let alone having to be in the same world. When will girls & women be allowed to taze aggressors? Too dangerous an idea? COMPARED TO WHAT.

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. “We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “A country that always defends human rights and international law, like Spain, earns the respect of the entire world, as has happened in recent weeks.”

Gentle reminder for those idiots that want Britain to get fully involved in an illegal war in the Middle East built on a false argument around WMD, in 2003 we had an economy larger than China and could put about 60,000 servicemen and women into the field. It's history, not current affairs.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

As the United States and Israel prepared for war and later launched strikes against Iran, traders on online prediction markets wagered over $1 billion on every aspect of the conflict, drawing a wave of scrutiny. https://cnn.it/40hRAZq

protect them now, and permanently.

Blocking someone isn't enough. I want them to step on a stray Lego piece in bare feet.

It's been 49 years, release the dragons from the dungeons! They have paid their debt to society!

The NT electoral commission is yet to post the early voting centre 2CP for Nightcliff, but I understand it puts Labor in the lead and well placed to win. Waiting for the official figures.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Allies fear Iran war will leave them without US weapons they bought

While we’re at it, maybe it’s time to finally stop arming israel too?

So, they've already "apologized and surrendered," but the US is still going to "hit [them] very hard" today? And specifically, we're going to hit "areas and groups of people" not previously considered threats?

Actually, there's a growing literature documenting exactly the OPPOSITE: people who experience climate shocks are more supportive of climate science, more interested in climate action, and more engaged in climate work! Read Saving Ourselves for a start... @climatenews.bsky.social

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down. Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book. (And would much appreciate a RT please)

For twenty years I've heard the same reframe and for the same twenty years I've had a fairly popular ocean science blog that tracks how long readers spend on each page and the long wonky pieces have the best retention and are still read years later.

Like Mama Gump used to say, "stupid is as stupid does.", and it appears that sacking the smart people in Washington has not made things work very well at all.

I grew up in council housing and so I’m proud today to announce a $100m grant to Kings Grammar for the construction of a new, state of the art polo field. The new field will sit on the site of the old Parramatta High School and significant First Nations country.

Nelson then demanded Milhouse's unconditional surrender

At my other job at ABC Classic this weekend, it's the Festival of Female composers, including the Hilde-thon: four hours of music by Hildegard von Bingen, 12th century abbess, OG composer. I snuck a track of hers into MFL. 800 years old and still a banger. dangolding.bandcamp.com/track/o-virt...

Guess Who. #nzpol

As an old-school hater, I very much appreciate this deep dive thread into why Luxon sucks

Mr Luxon is one of those very rare people whom its impossible to apply a theory of mind. Can you imagine his inner life in any form but its absence? The only books he reads are self-help. He cannot maintain an exchange of complex thoughts. Every interview descends into banalities within minutes

#kikorangi #nzpol The potential for Luxon to be Luxoff next week, there may be an early election? I don't know if that's possible with an election date already announced. Regardless, make sure you're enrolled to vote NOW. The election will probably be in Nov. But it could be in April. vote.nz

They went from “we’re freeing the people of Iran” to “shit, ah, we need to get rid of their missile stock and the navy” to “this is part of God’s plan to resurrect Christ and bring about the End” super fast. Meanwhile just a couple days” went to “3-4 weeks” and now to “September?”
