drop some KITCHENS

as me about the prestigious foundation who told me and my dean IN WRITING that "UIC does not meet our standards for an eligible faculty institution"

How about some #TrailCamTuesday Three species in one video. Not a combination that you see every day.

If the president forces Republicans to vote for a budget that cuts health care and vital services to fund this unconstitutional war, that would be a political extinction-level event for Republicans in Congress.

Govt's proposal to reform settlement policy (incl requiring care workers to wait 15yrs before they can settle) will not save £10bn, as they previously suggested @jdportes.bsky.social new analysis of govt's own (prev unreleased) data suggests actual saving would be £600m - a substantial difference 👇

A new documentary premiering at Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival follows Indigenous dancers across North America, using movement to explore culture, history and resilience while centering joy over trauma.

Researching these stories, ex-Catholics and others who faced these systems repeatedly said the same thing: ignore the more progressive rhetoric (from the pope or elsewhere) and focus on the church hierarchy's actions. What they do with their power, money and resources tells a very different story.

New Iranian tweets on the blockage and negotiations.

When I am not deployed I call. And continuously send them emails which, if they reply, never answer any questions, just regurgitate maga tropes. I save all of them in case I ever get to be in a room with them. I am from Texas, where we really hit the magat jackpot. Chip Roy is my inept congressman 👿

he...*added* a demonic supernatural being to his blasphemy post?

Roses are red, Eels have slime. Pontifex Maximus: So weak on crime.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

God, I’ve seen what you’ve done for Canada & Hungary, & I want that for me. I won’t ask for anything else

That's our baby, she's iconic 🫰 And couldn't be possible without a strong European team! Arianespace: launch service provider. Arianegroup: prime contractor and design authority. @cnes.fr: oversees Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana and is responsible for developing the Ariane 6 launch site.

It’s the Only Way!

"...the son of destruction, who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God."

It’s going to become increasingly harder and harder for people to separate mass deportation from policing and Mullin and the administration are quite sure there’s no appetite for addressing policing.

Workers at an Amazon fulfillment center in Troutdale, Oregon, said they were told to keep working as a colleague lay dying on the floor. “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work,” Sam recalled the manager saying.

It’s some ways he’s just a product of a criminal father, just like his wife is. One of the negotiators last week said that Witkoff “doesn’t know the difference between a centrifuge and a washing machine.”Imagine that, they sent no nuclear engineers to negotiate like professionals, just two clowns.

and i have a meme about it😂

In Chinese folklore, sorrow in the imperial palace was said to bloom after death. Neglected by the emperor and forgotten behind jeweled walls, grieving palace maids were believed to leave behind a strange memorial: palace maid grass growing from their graves. Its 1/3

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

Markwayne Mullin appears to be scaling back the visibility of ICE agents in enforcement, saying he’d “love to see” ICE spend more time doing “transport” and less on the “front line.” One way to do that is by paying local police to take on more of the investigations and arrests of immigrants.

ms. rachel is WEAK on the economy

This sign was genius.

Yes, it is incredibly concerning that the Trump sons are backing a drone company that's aiming to sell to Gulf states that now need more protection given that their father started a war with Iran.

I keep seeing pleas for the release of the Epstein files. While I support this, do we, honestly, think they will tell us anything we don’t already know about Donald? (And I don’t have the stomach to see videos of him without his underpants.)

Guyer makes an important point that should be repeated over and over (setting aside Kushner’s general shittiness and lack of knowledge): the Iranians were offering good terms before they bombed them. The bombing put us in a worse place because these idiots don’t know what they’re doing.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Idaho has the most punitive anti-trans bathroom ban in the country, with up to five years in prison for a second offense. I spoke to the folks pushing back—over what just a few years ago led to calls for boycotts, the state legislature shamed on the national stage—on how they fight.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

A lot of people angry at a man for opposing oppression by harmlessly burning down a factory with no one inside and cheering for him to experience state carceral violence are simultaneously confused about why other people aren't taking actions to oppose oppression.

“First Draft: JD Vance Can't Stop Losing Over the weekend, Trump's VP became the face of the failed Iran negotiations. Then, Hungary's Orbán, whom Vance campaigned for, lost in a landslide. Next, will an unpopular Vance face AOC in 2028?” Read here zeteo.com/p/jd-vance-c... By @swin24.bsky.social

We could of course crack down on wingnut welfare and make taking cheques from billionaire cranks a disqualifying offence. But already, you see why that would be highly problematic.

Hungary's prime minister elect Péter Magyar says that Orbán's FM Péter Szijjártó, who had vanished after tapes of his obsequious phone calls with Russian FM Sergei Lavrov surfaced, has reappeared at the Foreign Ministry today, where he was seen feverishly shredding documents.

My niece is an accomplished seamstress, and no matter how complex or amazing her clothes are, whenever other women see her work they immediately say, "Oh, it's got pockets!" It's a goddamn conspiracy.

Clothing designers have various excuses for not putting usable pockets on women's clothes but they're all total BS. All the dresses and trousers I make for myself have pockets large enough+ for my phone. If I, a lazy amateur, can do it the professionals certainly can.

Ok that’s funny

The US President's unhinged reaction to milquetoast antiwar statements is forcing us to talk about the Pope's embrace of martyrdom like we do Abd al-Malik al-Houthi is that good?

37,836 housing units destroyed or damaged in Lebanon in 36 days by Israel

@adriaandthepriors.bsky.social Explain please.

Is it just me or does this particular fossil fuel crisis have way, way more momentum behind fossil fuel avoidance + clean technology substitution than the previous fossil fuel crisis? There's still the flurry of panicked fossil fuel subsidies and tax cuts and enviro standard rollbacks etc....

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Went for a walk and a pint and spotted the best example of free will I've ever seen

I see a very disturbing pattern......
