Sarah Beckstrom seems like she was a wonderful person who had a bright future ahead of her. Such a tragedy.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

Another story in four parts. This polar bear mom went from seemingly sound asleep to full meerkat mode in seconds. Her nose is always on the alert for potential danger to her and her 11-month-old cubs. #Mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

We gotta start close-reading Dead Kennedys album artwork like it’s the writings of Nostradamus

I miss the days when the Fuentes regularly in the news was Daisy.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point
