- the brain is not a muscle actually and you can also "lose it" by exposing it to too much stress fun fact

“I asked chatgpt” Yeah well I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down

"War is about death. Needless, stupid, death." - Buffy Summers
#WWBD?

So basically the protests were peaceful except that two competing cop departments accidentally went to war with each other

Signs to police 'negative' history went up at Manzanar. Historians are nervous. "It sends a pretty clear message that your story is not welcome here."

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park.

I love the way it looks!

“I know what you see when you look at me. Some sweet darkness not deep enough to drown in. A fire to be danced near, but not burned by. Some monster yet governed by the slender and trembling will of a man.”

I want to try out the Aqua Aerobics class, really I do, I just don't think I have the stamina for an hour of classic rock

Lovely!! 😍

ICE detain the wrong restaurant worker—then arrest him anyway for "resisting."

Agents didn't ask for ID—or even his name—just tackled him down with no warrant.

Romeo has a speech impediment, making it difficult for him to communicate quickly to agents.

This happened at the Early Bird in Omaha, NE

TIL what Quiltbag means, thanks to @bpal.bsky.social and their newsletter.
"Queer and questioning, unsure, intersex, lesbian, transgender and two-spirit, bisexual, asexual and aromantic, and gay and genderqueer." Including all of those letters would turn it into QQUILTTBAAGG".

Exactly!!! You get it ><

A background of watercolor painting reminiscent of rainbow tree rings (or a fingerprint, or fruit stripe bubble gum), over which there is a wonky white square containing the words “PRIDE FUNDRAISER 2025” with the QLL logo smack dab in the middle.

Angry.

Nebraska lawmakers again advance ban of most THC, consumable hemp products • Nebraska Examiner A legislative proposal that would ban most consumable hemp and other THC products in Nebraska advanced Tuesday without amendments.

Nebraskans have REPEATEDLY voted, overwhelmingly so, to legalize marijuana. AND YET.

"Nebraskans feel like they're being gaslit by this Legislature, and that's because they are... This is politics at its worst."

Ugh, that sounds awful. I'm sorry you have to go through that.

New yokozuna belt!! Cool to see our other boys like Takayasu and Ryuden being involved too 🤍❤️ It's so interesting to me how these traditions are passed down.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Time to post it again.

Japan Welcomes a New Sumo Champ. Surprise: He’s Japanese.

Onosato Daiki of Japan was named on Wednesday as yokozuna, or grand champion, the highest title in the sport. He is the first Japanese yokozuna in eight years and only the second in 27 years, at least temporarily breaking Mongolian dominance of the elite levels of the sport.

Daaang that looks sick!

The SAVE Act will be disastrous for Native American voters, whose tribal IDs do not include their birthplace. This attempt at voter suppression is disgusting.
