A lipless, toothy figure in a black coat. it's skin is bruise-yellow and green. its upper head is scorched black, its hair flows straight up, and it has scratchy "eyes" floating where real eyes should be. The background is reminiscent of flames

POND RULES: No swimming, jumping or gallivanting. Do not disturb the pond witch. No fishing with dynamite. Sacrifices to water gods on alternate Wednesdays only - NO EXCEPTIONS! Taunt the crows at your own risk. If a hand comes out of the water to beckon you, turn and walk away. Do not feed the weretrout. Is the water burning with cold unholy fire? Report it to the ranger! They’re not ducks. Run. Have fun!

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

90's animated Xavier is usually the Xavier in my head, but only Patrick Stewart has the voice for this. And I am here for it.

Classic NY Times: powerless underage victim is actually the scheming perp; much-older member of the US Congress is actually a passive victim

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

BOBBY: We watched an episode of Drag Race together. He wanted to be supportive. He…really got into it.

XAVIER: Indeed, Robert. Very boots the house down!

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Still, fruitlessly, holding out for a second season of Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities. There are so many stories that would make an incredible episode of an anthology horror series.

I mean Megyn Kelly seems like exactly the right spokesperson for the ACTUALLY IT’S EPHEBOPHILIA movement.

Shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture.

Reporter: Can you respond to these Epstein emails that were released today?

Trump: *no answer*

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.

However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.
