Title page of 1577 pamphlet: "A straunge, and terrible Wunder wrought very late in the parish church of Bungay: a town of no great distance from the citie of Norwich, namely the fourth of this August, in the yeere of our Lord 1577. in a great tempest of violent raine, lightning, and thunder, the like wherof hath been seldome seene. With the appeerance of an horrible shaped thing, sensibly perceiued of the people then and there assembled. Drawen into a plain method according to the written copye. by Abraham Fleming."

Brace yourselves. It’s the 448th anniversary today of the documented and very real appearance of the Terrifying! Satanic! One-Eyed! ghost dog Black Shuck at two churches in Suffolk, where he wilfully murdered “two persons, as they were kneeling uppon their knees, and occupied in prayer”

Texas Republicans being more committed to cheating voters with a frankenstein map than to doing emergency legislation to fix the state's flood warning systems is pretty much all you need to know about them.

These caddies really need to stop handling Trump's balls.

The Biden administration had wire and securities fraud charges in motion against Musk for doing this.

Elon Musk bought the election for Donald Trump because doing this, lying about the current and future capabilities of the vehicles he sells, is the foundation of his entire fortune.

Understanding the horrific way Maxwell and Jeffry treated these underage women should make it evident that it’s every Americans duty so see Maxwell should never see the light of day ever again. Placing her in a minimum security resort is one of Donald’s greatest sins. To hell with them both.

Missing Matter in Universe Found Using Caltech's DSA-110 radio telescope, astronomers pinpoint whereabouts of "fog" between galaxies.

BREAKING: New statement from Virginia Giuffre's family.

"It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal actions."

CEO Lays Off 150 Employees, Tells Them They'll Largely Be Replaced With AI Mike Cannon-Brookes, the billionaire CEO of Atlassian, announced that 150 people would be laid off, with some jobs being replaced by AI.

He recently had to defend his purchase of a $75 million private jet.

Tangentially related!

Friend went through chemo. Couldn't eat. Lost a BUNCH of weight. Everyone told her how great she looked because starving from chemo > being fat.

Maybe stop commenting on people's bodies!

#SeniorPupSaturday

a golden retriever puppy is scaling the wall of her crate. her front legs are draped over the top holding herself up, while her back right toes are gripping onto a bar of the crate. she realizes she's been caught and tries to play it cool with a casual smile. we would be remiss to leave out that she has a hamster water bottle attached to the side of her crate.

This is Mii. She was caught mid-escape. Luckily she has a get out of jail free card, which is her face. 12/10 (IG: sea.mie0731)

This is Stevie. He is annoyed by pretty much everything that happens outside. As you can tell from his boofs, today is no exception. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

a teensy brown ball of fluff sits on a gray tile floor and looks up at the camera. the dog’s eyes are wide-set and pleading, and his little mouth curves down in a dramatic frown. his little body only takes up one half of one tile, and it looks like he could be swallowed up by shadows any second. pick him up!

This is Bug. He would like to be picked up for cuddles. It is an emergency. 13/10 (IG: bugthebrusselsgriffon)

Donald Trump Is Destroying American Manufacturing Joe Biden brought factories and jobs back with his climate program. Then Trump repealed it.

We've got some video for you at @prospect.org.
It's been lost to the sands of time but we really did have a boom in industrial construction under Biden, and were on our way to legitimate gains in advanced manufacturing. Then Trump destroyed it all. Watch @ryanlcooper.com tell the story:

if you want people to invest in heat pumps, for instance, it would be a good idea to drive the operating cost of heat pumps below that of gas furnaces

The Nazis made laws that made it legal to harm and even kill people. It's the mid 30s again and the Nazis now are the Republican Party.

We’re basically just paying for these people to have vacations and do horrible morally reprehensible things to people who don’t look like them

The crystal intelligences and gas giant hive minds have figured out we, the clever extroverted highly neotous tool apes are great for parties and diplomacy but should never be allowed to have actual power oh dear god

The headline makes it sound like nothing nefarious is going on when the story is, in fact, trying to say the opposite!

(The claim is that the minute isn't "missing," because someone took it out and very much knows where it is!)

I'm exploring tiny pixellated space bc same

she was 13 what "relationship"

This. Please stop telling me that you are “not surprised.”

Public interest journalism isn’t about shock value.

It’s about informing people and holding power to account.

I don’t care if you’re not surprised by the information I report on.

I won’t pretend to be a South Park fan, not really my jam, but here’s what I got out of their most recent episode: 1) it’s still gross, 2) it was extremely funny, 3) it was a case study in gamesmanship, 4) everyone should watch it, especially people who don’t gravitate to South Park or its style.
