Industry literally begging to have their methane regulated and being told no.

I'm afraid of death. I'm afraid of prison. But I'm more afraid of moral failure. None of us will survive without justice and knowledge.

Can you hear yourself? Do you know how you sound right now?

The villagers are gorging themselves on juice of the fruit and roasted fowl! As if landed gentry!

The only Republican challenging Dem Sen. Ben Ray Lujan is disqualified by New Mexico SoS. The ABQ Journal says this would leave the GOP without a Senate candidate for the first time in "modern history," and just six years after Lujan won by only 6 points. www.abqjournal.com/news/four-ne...

You know at the end of Rogue One when everyone cries for the heroes? That's how they feel about you. Keep it up, as best you, as long as you have it in you.

Death of Aeschylus is an oil painting that stars a bald man splayed on the floor, dressed in black and blue while draped in red satin. To his left, there is a dude seated in profile with his left hand in his hair and his left knee bent. A mustachioed brodalisque reclines on a beige sofa in a dark room draped with a gold curtain.

I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting.

To be sure... the r-word is on its way to being defanged of any literal meaning and will one day join the ranks of other generic insults. I am 98% certain of it. But we're not there yet and you shouldn't use it.

Lutnick Acknowledges Traveling to Epstein’s Island

I’m struggling with how to express my anger.
I watched the interview with this man who said he walked into Epstein‘s house next-door to his and decided along with his wife to never have anything to do with him again.
Yet here he was on Epstein‘s private island.
Is this USA reality?

That shit sounds rad.

A cadre of warriors wearing space marine armor stand heroically on a rocky outrcopping splashed by waves of black water. In the distance are nebulae, stars, and a glowing orange eye surrounded by translucent tentacles. The left most warrior is a young black man with cropped hair in dreads, dual wielding three barrel pistols. Next to him is Bry, a light brown skinned woman with a short wavy pixie cut looking up at the stars and holding a futuristic pistol, wearing intricate bronze and blue armor. To her right is Bel, a stout and hulking alien woman with scaled green skin and braided golden hair pulled behind her in a ring. She holds a large sci-fi sword and shield and wears red, pointy armor. Behind Bel is a tall goddess-looking figure named Nef with gold skin and long blue crystal braids framing their face, wearing intricately etched gold and silver armor. The heroes are bathed in pink and blue light from the nebulae behind them.

Worth noting that this also effectively disenfranchises most trans people.

It's incredibly believable that this has happened twice now so far

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist!

Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

Things I like:
Our Honda Odyssey has front and rear air controls.
Things I don't like:
When I'm driving in it at night by myself, and I hear plastic bags rustling in the back.

Bad Bunny works in a genre I don't usually care about, but he's a hit maker, so there was bound to be some songs I like. I decided to find one. I like this:

The essence of Palestinian identity clashes with Israel’s existence - opinion Palestinian identity as it exists today cannot produce peace and only leads to more conflict with Israel.

Israel defenders: Israel has no genocidal intent

Israeli media:

Well, the earlier it shows up, usually the slower progressing it is. ... A decade later, probably still pretty bad.

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

So is nonbinary an analog gender, or a quantum state gender?

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Back in the 1990s, they were always trying to give me a free flatbed scanner when I bought a computer. Now no one uses them but they are $100 for some reason.
