Racism is a tool of the oppressor.

I have that printer, bought it on a whim after a free printer cost me $50 for new ink and didn't work.

Close up photo of a brown and white streaked hawk looking straight towards the camera, looking a little bemused.

Monday huh? Do I have to?

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

More updates TK.

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.

31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.

Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

Why is his toilet taller than he is? It would take a step ladder for him to get on it.

Grippers engaged! The next photo in the series.

I love blackbirds because they just look like the platonic ideal of a black bird that exists in my head

Looks like phoebe’s gig as a swing coach is pretty solid! 🏌️ I’m sure the duffer is dropping strokes with all the tips phoebe is giving! Seen today

116 legal and policy experts have now opposed Labor’s new powers for police to recommend cutting payments from people without them even having been convicted of a crime.

Cops shouldn’t be anywhere near welfare law and Labor should withdraw this amendment. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/treat...

A large brown hawk is about to land on the very top of an evergreen tree. Its wings are up, tail spread out and feet out about to grab the top branch.

HOLY CRAP, what a glorious, powerful bird!!

Record number of people traveling for the holidays, in this economy? I doubt it. Maybe normal amount of people but record, no.

Why is it that politicians do this? Why do they always email, text, or chat (far too often with someone underage) "hey do you [insert fetish here]"? Why can't they just find their community so they can get with someone with the same or complementary fetishes? It's not hard.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Pardoning Nixon, moving beyond Watergate, brought us his henchmen for decades. Democrats aren't being magnanimous about letting bygones be bygones. They are being cowards. Holding people you know to account takes bravery, that they lack. So we need to make them do it kicking, dragging, & screaming.

A lizard is sitting on a large reddish rock. The lizard is dark grey and yellowish. Many of its scales are spiked. The scales around the rear part of the head, the neck and the tail have especially prominent spikes. It is looking to the right of the camera.

It’s like they are trying to spread their genes because they know their genes will be selected against because they are the ones with the bad DNA.

If these people are so superior as they thunk they are, if their genes truly make them smarter and stronger, shouldn’t natural selection spread their genes? Unless they are on some level aware that they are not as superior as they claim, that an some level they think they have worse genes.

YouTube video by Archaeology with Flint Dibble The Fall of Rome: Debunking Elon Musk

Watching a video by the great Flint Dibble talking about Elon Musk. It brought up a thought I’ve had several times. Eugenicists like Musk keep wanting to have kids to spread their genes they see as superior, they want to breed the “smart people”,
