WAIT FOR IT WAIT. FOR. IT! 🪶 🐣

One of my favorite "museum notes" This one, while I was visiting the MCZ was with a collection of Antarctic specimens "Stored until someone can identify them" dated "22 August 1969 by DRP" (my visit was Aug 3, 2022) This is pretty common.and all of them were identified! #taxonomytuesday

“Because people, once they’re dead, they don’t come back to life — that doesn’t happen.” Needed to be said.

Still unemployed & it’s been hard catching up with finances. In need of help with rent, bills, & medications. If you can help financially or share this post, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.💛 - paypal.me/conniechiiiwa - venmo.com/u/conniechii... - buymeacoffee.com/conniechiiiwa

I believe this is an undescribed #anglerfish that has been locally referred to as “Andrea’s Angler” which I found this past Friday. I noticed it has two very bright barbel like structures under its chin inside its bubble. #marinelife #underwaterphotography #blackwater

Just checked my BINGO card and yup... I had this on it.

Guam. It’s Guam. FFS.

Like all of MAGA, he is eternally the victim.

NGL… there are three backyard fireworks shows going on tonight on my lake and all of them are waay better than wherever the fascists in DC got going. I’d share video but I’m enjoying it too much.

Oh look. A city of immigrants and libtards run by a socialist put on a spectacular show. Kinda puts DC in the shade.

Also… A Great Blue Heron on my dock, hanging out and enjoying the fireworks… which my dumbass neighbor can’t wait for darkness to fall before lighting. Heron dgaf. #birds

For the 4th of July, a Great Spangled Fritillary. #butterflies #invertebrates #wildflowers #newjersey

Yesterday. A short thread. It started off innocently enough. Although it wax extremely hot and humid in #NewJersey we were making do. We as in me and the creatures. 1/

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is voyaging back to UK cinemas this September in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the film & the 60th anniversary of Star Trek. I’m so happy I got to make new art to celebrate the re-release. Tickets - sheffield.thelight.co.uk/vice-press-p...

The NY Times runs this helpful guide to the ways Trump and the Republicans are trying to undermine elections. I applaud the media when they report on the individual ways Trump is building a dictatorship. But will they ever hit the total button and say "he's building a dictatorship," in big letters?

BREAKING: Via this Signal thing, a source inside the White House says that NORAD has confirmed that the unidentified object passing by the moon is indeed a spacecraft NOT FROM THIS PLANET.

Weird Al: "I said, ‘Oh well, yeah, sure, I could do that.’ And then a week before we’re supposed to shoot it, I find out this is AI. And I thought, ‘Oh no, I can’t be the poster boy for AI, forget it.’" variety.com/2026/biz/new...

Tom Kean Jr. took months off from Congress but found time to trade stocks and fundraise while New Jersey families were being crushed by the rising cost of living. Unlike Kean, @rebeccabennettforcongress.com will meet the moment by fighting corruption and putting everyday people

Trump Loaded Up on Abbott Laboratories Stock Before His DOJ Dropped Criminal Probe www.commondreams.org/news/trump-a...

Even if there are more facts here than meet the eye, just because a prosecutor can charge someone with a crime does not mean they should. Pirro seems to have made this man a scapegoat just so Trump can blame “vandals” for his own Reflecting Pool blunders.

Some shit-heel I work with is already repeating this idiocy. He just came into my shared office and asked where the thermostat was because the socialists (in my case Gov. Sherrill who is not even CLOSE to being a socialist) want us to turn it up. How can people be SO... this?

Not enough people are paying attention to this. The UAE is fueling the civil war in Sudan, arming the RSF who the Trump admin admits is committing a genocide. And yet, this admin refuses to hold them accountable. We should be asking why. x.com/nickkristof/...

Please stop calling it the crypto "industry." You don't call other rackets the "protection money industry" or the "pimping industry," do you?

Liz Kloczkowski (art director Picard) asked John Eaves to sign her copy of his book, he borrowed it for the night and drew this scene.

I doodled the secretary bird wearing jorts because that’s what my brain saw the first time I looked at it and now I can’t unsee it

This reminds me of my favorite Civil War anecdote about Irish-American author Fitz James O’Brien. He apparently hated the Confederacy and volunteered to fight in the war. He was first assigned to guard Washington but that wasn’t good enough so he pushed for a front line assignment. 1/

"Last month, “Evening News” delivered its lowest-rated June of the 21st century in total viewers... "CBS Mornings,” fared no better, sinking to its lowest-rated month in the program's history with fewer than 1.7 million total viewers." Bari Weiss is to blame for historic ratings failures...again.

Now they're saying cardiac arrest

Let's talk about a few interesting Canadian ❤️ city names: We'll start with the crowd-pleaser: Dildo, Newfoundland (pop: 803), which has a Hollywood parody sign celebrating their famous name. At the time of naming, the term meant any cylindrical object & probably refers to local rock formations.

Fuck these people. Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them!

Lots of people were upset about “cat litter boxes in every classroom,” too, which also wasn’t a thing that was going on. Just because parents are frothing over the latest bleatings from Fox doesn’t mean you have to treat their false “concerns” as legitimate. Do better, @gluesenkampperez.house.gov

Wimbledon has reminded me of this...

"It is physical, it is emotional and until you experience yourself, it is difficult to fully understand how powerful this illness can be... There is no timeline for healing. There is no timeline for recovery. Only the work of getting better, one day at a time." Will he truly learn this lesson?

Just saw this. Apologies if it’s made the rounds already.

Fox News could say in this headline that the crash occurred in China, but they choose to hide that key fact to get people to click. Trickery is how Fox rolls.

Mike Johnson says specifically that his job is to prevent lawmakers from being held accountable for their actions.

Step one: deport Miller

So it's a family of cloud-dwelling rats that think they're something else: pandas or monkeys or racoons or squirrels or possums, because those species don't exist on their island paradise. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. 😉

Perhaps this starts a new trend. Social Media Influencers Left Adrift With The Odyssey #movies #SocialMedia #TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan warnercrocker.com/2026/06/26/soc…

That’s nonsense. But what’s not nonsense is that Mike Johnson is trying to transplant fascism and apartheid into the country.

The President just made thousands of stock trades — and then he turned around and made decisions that shifted those companies’ bottom lines. It's corrupt, and we need to end it.
