One thing I wish journos would cover that I think most people don’t know is the process of legal immigration

ICE is picking up people who are showing up for their scheduled appointments

Those are the people doing exactly what our country has asked of them

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 95 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

A (fake) X post by an account made to look like George W. Bush reads "This seems like a bad idea. One man's opinion."

Leave me alone I'm soliloquating

Opinion | This Is What Autocracy Looks Like

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.”

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Here's a more detailed explanation: Cryptobiosis: Tardigrades enter a state of cryptobiosis, a form of suspended animation, in response to stressful conditions like desiccation, extreme temperatures, radiation, and vacuum. Tun State: In the tun state, tardigrades curl into a ball, retract their limbs, and lose up to 97% of their water content. Their metabolism slows down dramatically, potentially to as little as 0.01% of normal. Dehydration: To survive desiccation, tardigrades synthesize special molecules that form a protective matrix, preventing sensitive cellular components like DNA and proteins from damage. Revival: Once conditions improve and water is available, tardigrades rapidly rehydrate and resume their normal metabolism, effectively reviving from the tun state. Extreme Tolerance: In the tun state, tardigrades can tolerate a wide range of extreme conditions, including temperatures from extremely low to high, radiation, and even the vacuum of space. Survival: They can remain in the tun state for years or even decades, waiting for more favorable conditions.

Tardigrades sometimes enter a "tun state," which is pronounced either "tun" or "tun," depending on dialect anyhow sorry I've been out of touch

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

For the Black Dandy, Fine Clothes Asserted Dignity Stylish attire became a potent form of cultural defiance.

The theme of #MetGala2025 tonight in New York, #BlackDandyism, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance, and demonstrates that expression through fashion can be a form of protest.

Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me
Callin' me, all the time, like Blondie
Check out my Chrissie behind
It's fine all of the time

Migrating Birds Sing to Team Up with Other Species Songbirds may socialize across species during nighttime migrations

Birds don’t just use their songs to signal to members of their own species.

New research shows that they also sing to coordinate with individuals from **other** species during migrations as well

What The Sound Of You Revving A Honda CRV Engine Means (And Why It Makes My Panties Drop): A Thread
