Just saw a comment someone left on something about red delicious apples that says “if I want something that’s actually red and delicious I’ll get a tomato from the garden” and you absolutely went the fuck off tomato man, apple town is in tatters

Map of projected temperature anomalies next Thursday across the western U.S. from the ECMWF ensemble. The entire map is bright red and pink, indicative of extreme to record-breaking March warmth. Some location will be 25-30F degrees above average, with a few locations warming over 35F (!) above average.

All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

"Our trans siblings deserve our support and encouragement, endorsement and vindication now more than ever as the rising tide of transphobia threatens to engulf not just trans people but everybody who associates with them."

Stephen Fry in a video message for Transmission

I know some disagree but someone like Stephen Fry changing his mind and doing a complete 180 after supporting She Who Must Not Be Named, is a good thing and is evidence that attitudes are changing.

Elith: "Sure, That can happen. So what is it that doesn't mean anything?"

Kim: "In 9th grade David Struthers said I was gay, but if I was gay, David, why did I draw up schematics for the perfect boyfriend? CHECKMATE."

Kim (continuing): "And I HAVE kissed a boy. He smelled like glass cleaner and I threw up but Jenny Dargon said I could braid her hair if I did, and-"

Elith: "Uh, Kim..." Kim: "And I know what you're gonna say: 'Didn't you have a crush on me?' You KNOW that doesn't count! And DESPITE what you may think, I lost interest when I realized you weren't a girl."

*Elith gives a confused/concerned look*

Kim (confused): "What?"

"Nobody is that clueless." As someone who was in the closet until her 30s, all I can say is "write what you know."

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

Why Has This Columbia University Protester Been in ICE Detention for Nearly a Year? Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'

BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.

DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.

let's talk about Markiplier's Iron Lung YouTube video by Charalanahzard

my latest video is about video game to film/TV adaptations and why that industry doesn't just... use the people who wrote the games in the first place (inspired by Iron Lung + the fact that Larian isn't AT ALL involved in the Baldur's Gate 3 adaptation)

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

Right-wing media embrace “regime collapse” in Iran

I wrote about right-wing media figures embracing "regime collapse" -- as opposed to "regime change" -- and how they've dispensed with even the thin pretext of humanitarianism. What's left is destruction for destruction's sake and a belief that Iran as a failed state is a desirable outcome
