If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

also they can punch your lights out

Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

Ruin a dad’s week by saying the TV display looks weird and refusing to elaborate

I am so sorry. That's awful.

Given that I walk dogs a lot in weird places I'm surprised we haven't found one yet.

I think Emily might have the right tool for you here.

This is so lopsided.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

Chair in the shape of a hand made from sculpted mahogany, designed for people to sit on the palm, using the fingers as back and arm rests. He made a few versions of this design.

LOUIS!! 😍

The tire of a black Chevrolet truck. On top of the tire, the remains of nachos are smushed into the tire treads. Remnants of pico de gallo and possibly beans barely visible. A reflection of the photographer (moi) looking very buff and sipping an iced latte can be seen in the back panel of the truck.

this is the worst possible scenario for nachos

Photo of four lichens growing flat on grey rock. A yellow lichen is growing in a diagonal line across the photo. A dark grey oval lichen is growing along the yellow line as is a larger, round, off white lichen. A small amount of brown lichen is at the right side end of the line of yellow lichen.

Crustose lichen mix: Candelariella (yellow), Rhizocarpon (dark grey) Dimelaena (off white) and Acarospora (brown). Photo covers about 6cm, left to right. NWT, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends

Playful puffer!

on June 20th, it will float silently beyond the sky and take its place in its designated docking bay in the Heighliner

Gold, in Mexica belief, was teocuitlatl-godly excrement closely associated with the sun's power. Crafted from this sacred material, a labret would have underscored a ruler's divinely sanctioned authority.”

‘I had never the intention of working a job, and when I got into the pilot, you'd think that that would convince me even more not to work, because why do I need to work, right? I've got the money coming in. But when the pilot came through, I thought, “Well, if I work, then I can save all the money from the pilot and maybe some from the job as well,” and if I'd never been tempted by the pilot weirdly enough to go and do more work to get more money, then I never would have become more social and gone out of the house, and just developed as a person as I have over the past 2 years.. it made me happy. It changed how I acted quite a lot’ (YP62 - End of Pilot)

Love this experience by one of the basic income pilot participants in Wales. They got £1,290 a month after tax for two years (about $1,862/mo), and at first they planned to not get a job, but then after getting into the pilot, they changed their mind, because why not do more to get more money?

aw jeez

"WHAT'S NEXT MR. PRESIDENT" ON EXTERIOR OF BRICK BUILDING A COLLECTION OF SMALL PLUSH TOYS BEARS DOLLS ETC WEARING NAME TAGS READING "HELP ME" SUSPENDED IN A METAL GRID - ART BY LORING CORNISH - Statement: "For seven years I operated a glorious gallery in this building called HOW GREAT THOU ART I played wonderful loud disco music while dancing and creating art in the very spot you're standing on in worked in nothing but my underwear. I have always working in nothing but my underwear. There were three floors of amazing things including a shower made of phones, a mirrored bicycle and a real traffic light. No one never bothered you. One could roam freely throughout the entire building and relax as long as you liked. However what I loved the most about my gallery was the joy, peace and hope that filled the atmosphere. Great times and tears were often experienced in this love filled building. I will greatly miss this place I have never EXPERIENCED the amount of love that constantly poured from this building. I believe my continuous worship to God filled this place with love. I will miss those who have entered here... for most became my most precious friends. I thank God so much for my time here. It has been the best seven years of my life I will always endeavor to keep this building dedicated to the arts. always again. Loring Cornish"
