1/- I am NOT a prepper, nor am I a doomsday desirer, or a conspiracy theorist. I'm a realist. I said this back in late 2019 when reports of a virus in Asia emerged, and I'm saying it now: PREPARE. The Strait of Hormuz will be closed for a long time. This means the price of EVERYTHING will--

Norway's ​maritime authority said on ‌Thursday that Norwegian-flagged ships will not be permitted to enter ​the Strait of Hormuz ​until further notice, due to the ⁠escalating security situation after the U.S.-Israeli ​attacks on Iran.-Reuters

Congrats, Adorka! You've been such a staple from the DeviantArt days. Thank you for your great refs! Here's a digital painting from early college (15-ish years ago) vs last year with a pretty direct comparison of subjects!

Imagine the progress could be making as a country if we didn’t have to spend so much time, energy, and resources fighting Trump’s wars and defending our freedom from his power grabs.

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense. variety.com/2026/politic...

Hey how do I find out whether I was among the authors impersonated by Grammarly's AI assistant to help revise people's manuscripts? I want to see how many of your submissions I ruined with my scrabble words and laissez-faire attitude toward comma placement

She buried children’s names in jars so their families could find them after the war. During World War II, Irena Sendler saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto and never revealed a single name. Even under torture. True courage. #SheShed #Voices4Victory #WomensHistoryMonth

I don’t know who called off the Target boycott, but my wife and I haven’t been there since last January, and we have no plans to go back. What did I miss? Because I haven’t seen an apology or any real course correction. Target spit in our faces, so we made a conscious lifestyle change.

@deanobeidallah.bsky.social Dean! Look mainstream media is sorta starting to step up? 🥴👇🏼👇🏼 (ok maybe it’s just one, but it’s a beginning/lol)

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East? REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that? R: I cannot explain that

These mewling technofascist worms are openly repeating their evil plans to make people so pliant and unintelligent they have to subscribe to their corporate surveillance infoweapon to think for them & there are still smart, antifascist people who'll play devil's advocate for everyday genAI use.

The film 'Contagion' was fairly influential on me in deciding to study biomed.

Goebels‘ novel was only published after the N*zis were in charge. with the current crop of fascists there is, intertwined with the cruelty, an abject desire to be LIKED

There’s a lot to be said about the pathology of Hitler being a failed painter but perhaps even more important in the current milieu is knowing that Goebels was a failed writer.

Turns out being a pedophile, terrorizing immigrants, starting an illegal war, raising the costs of everything, lying about elections and gutting healthcare hasn’t been popular in America. How shocking!😒

The trans NB employee fired by Chili's for being trans worked at their Rosemont, IL location. For all the furries out there, this is across I-90 from MFF Y'all might want to avoid Chili's & Maggiano's, especially when MFF rolls around later in the year. I'm sure there's better places to eat out at

Conservatives were on the record in January 2023 in the NYT saying explicitly that they targeted trans youth to be able to ban transitioning for everyone. They admitted it but then every dumb centrist was like "but what about the evidence on trans youth." And here we are.

So, I want to help my two roomies and I move and have an easier time of it. I only have until May to do so. If you can donate to help with saving to move, would be appreciated. I can doodle a sketch in exchange if you want- #helpsky #mutualaid #moving ko-fi.com/moonberry_art

Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"

"It’s almost as if Trump felt that, as a would-be dictator, he had to have his own nihilistic war, just like his idol Vlad Putin. But Trump’s 'excursion' against Iran is nothing like Putin’s years long 'special military operation' against Ukraine — it’s actually more stupid." — @davidrlurie.com

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

"Trump and his administration almost seem to delight in inflicting suffering on the most vulnerable." Almost nothing! They simply do. #SheShed

This is Trump's mess, his failure. We HAVE to win in the mid-terms, impeach him and every member of his cabinet who supported this BS, and try to repair the damage he's created.

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income? Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero. Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit? Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

This is just the beginning, and it'll only get worse. The idiotic Trump regime has unleashed a nightmare that never should've been touched. It's why no other modern POTUS took this level of action against Iran. But now we're all part of the nightmare. And. It. Will. Only. Get. Worse.

idle thought: for around a decade or so, a lot of the journalists with a high-profile online were freelance as you'd see them pop up all over the place, but what happens to them [cough; us] now everywhere is paywalled and people have finite money? is the Company Guy who stays in place rising again?

Oh, snap! I didn't realize that was the issue, that he's mixing up the two words. I just thought he was an idiot. He's still an idiot, but that's even funnier.

The hilarious thing about Trump confusing “incursion” with “excursion” is not that he’s made a war sound like a trip to the lake. It’s that all his servile Cabinet who are scared to correct him will have to start calling it an excursion too. We’re the only mammals led by the stupidest of the pack

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)
