I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

Rescuers rush to save pets caught up in the ICE surge Across Minnesota, pets were left behind in empty houses and abandoned cars after immigration detentions — or surrendered by frightened owners.

Gift link article: ‘The week the White House announced it was drawing down forces in Minnesota, “we actually saw a huge uptick in need,” D’Amato said. …. “They were coming in with collars. They were well-fed and social [animals] that had lost their families.”’

Melissa Hortman was known for reaching across the aisle in the MN House. Mike Lee (R UT) said she deserved to be assassinated by a wannabe SA dude. There is no amount of nice that will save you or your neighbors from fascist violence. Do not be nice.

You’ve probably heard the idiom, “the elephant in the room,” but what if yet another megafauna stampeded onto the scene? That’s where Itamar Gov’s installation comes in.

guys I’m literally ten days into Lent, and this is the SECOND person on the list who appears to have died after experiencing seizures in ICE custody when they’d never had seizures before

so many cases where ICE never releases an official cause of death. what tf is happening behind closed doors

A 3×3 collage of close-up photographs of daffodils in bloom, showing different varieties in shades of yellow and white. Some have bright golden trumpets, others pale petals with contrasting cups, all set against soft green garden backgrounds.

According to old tradition, daffodils bloom around 1st March in honour of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales. His feast day falls on this date and coincides with the beginning of meteorological spring. #StDavidsDay #FolkloreSunday

After Spring Break I'm going to go into class and ask my MLIS students how they would catalog a book with the pages cut out to hide a gun. What MARC fields would you need? 📚

Listening to the Simpsons’ Monorail song while driving home, I had a sudden realization that the line “Oh it’s no use. It’s more of SHELBYVILLE idea.” is how AI products have been successfully sold to management in every sector.

🎶”pullin’ mussels from a shell…”🎶

It's that or incoherent screaming.

I can't doomscroll because my friend is over with her toddler and every few minutes the baby comes over to solemnly offer me a truck and then immediately repossess the truck. Very effective

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

I’m in Barnsley which has beautiful buildings, a charming social history museum, a lovely art gallery, and this very moving memorial to the tragic colliery explosion of 1866 that killed nearly 400 men and boys

A black t-shirt featuring a cartoon illustration of a sad teacup between the words "It’s A SHIRT" in a bold, bubbly white font. The teacup has a simple frowning face, a yellow liquid inside, and a tea bag tag hanging off the side.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Tea Shirt. I am unwilling to admit how long it took me to get the pun.

I took a class in college that was about the complexities of revolutions and a thing I think about CONSTANTLY from that class is that if a revolution succeeds all of a sudden they are now the ruling class and hooooboy that is a totally different type of skill.

United States and Israel Launch Illegal War on Iran Trump and Netanyahu announce that they have assassinated Iran's Supreme Leader

Do not forget. Trump knows his war on Iran is illegal and criminal

Complicit Corporate media will make plenty of excuses justifying this illegal war of aggression. But the facts tell us that the Trump regime knows they are lying—here are the receipts.

Having spent a minute or two around “information” this galls me. These unserious amateurs have just thrown out every basic operational security directive, let alone ICD 705. This is an effing clown car with nuclear weapons.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

This is *exactly* what I predicted was going to happen when I impersonated Musk and got banned from the hellsite back when he first floated the idea of selling verification.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

David Lynch saying ‘One day, the sadness will end. But I don’t think today’s the day.’

Important potato technology.

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

No I don't remember 1979 b/c, like the majority of Iranians, I wasn't born yet.

Also, that guy died. Another guy took over. He's older & if he survives this or not, the next guy is not going to have to work hard to sell Iranians on "America hates you & can't be trusted."

Stupid murderous losers.

I lucked out with being able to offer a lot of stuff off our plates to the offspring, but having a "safe" *meal* to fall back on is important! "Try it and if you don't like it, more for me" is a useful option.

A tree in a suburban neighborhood with big googly eyes attached to the trunk above a big hole at the base, making it look like an astonished face.

A broad tree or clump of trees, with big googly eyes made from beachballs or weather balloons or something like that, so it looks like an enormous Muppet with shaggy green fur.

A tree in a suburban neighborhood with two great limbs growing out from the trunk like raised arms, with a hole in the trunk above looking like an open, shouting mouth, and two knots or scars from removed branches above that that look like two eyes, so the whole effect is a tree standing there with its arms raised, yelling at you.

A very gnarled tree with smooth grey bark and many scars from removed branches, all of which form a very distorted, tortured, screaming face. Meme text reads, “I think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a WHAT THE HELL IS THAT”.

Just a few.

By way of alt text, it’s a photo looking up at a really cool old gnarled leafless tree against a grey overcast sky.
