Decadent and I have enjoyed this clip many, many times. She is objectively hilarious, and she's obviously having a ball here. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKTv...

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.

every accusation is a confession, part 573002

In memoriam...

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

It’s good that they list the extension because with gargoyles there’s no time to wait for an operator

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

any book can become infused with garlic aioli if you try hard enough and believe in yourself

to be fair I also would keep that a secret

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

sometimes I learn the answer to a question I never thought to ask but in retrospect wish I had. for example: could John Philip Sousa make a decent meatball hero? (the answer is apparently yes. I don't think he and I see eye to eye on pasta cooking time, though)

Der IGEL! Lothar Meggendorfer really knew how to evoke lifelike movement! This book from the Olin Library special collections at Wash U is only one spectacular example! #movablebooksociety #Hedgehog #paperengineering

Doomscrolling break. Especially for everyone facing deadlines and challenges, I offer you this small, persevering hedgehog by way of encouragement and inspiration. #TinyJoys

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

If you asked authors in 2023 to write a speculative fiction about month nine in an America turning towards fascism, none would have the audacity to write something like this.

protip: if you are a university instructor doing a scavenger hunt, do not ask your students to email library staff asking them what color the library's mission is

Spent many (many!) hours pulling legal explanations and apologies from lawyers who were caught using AI that hallucinated in which they explained to a judge why they used AI. The explanations are astonishing and extremely good: www.404media.co/18-lawyers-c...

This is really hard to read. And the thing that is sitting with me the most about it is that it has always legal and possible to do this for decades. The only thing preventing this from having been the norm was a sense of humanity. This is why we need structural reform. Not just a change in admin.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

If you had told anyone in Philly or South Jersey in 2000 or so that CAMDEN would have zero homicides someday, no one would have believed you. Absolutely incredible success story.

Lol, I was going to joke that they probably conducted the AI analysis using a photograph only (which would be absurd given that paintings demand first-hand study, examination of materials, support, etc), and then I visited the AI co.’s website & saw this on the front page:

When Steve Lamplough heard a commotion outside his south-west Victorian home, the last thing he expected to see was a joey koala riding his dog like a racehorse.

They’ll stop at nothing to get that merger approved
