The image shows two Highland cattle in a grassy field. The main focus is on a red, shaggy Highland bull calf facing the camera, with its horns visible. A partially out of focus highland cow, is positioned behind and to the left of him. The background includes a line of trees and an overcast sky. (Written with help from AI)

A close up shot of a red highland cow bull calf looking at the camera. His horns are small and adorable. He stands in a field of grass on an overcast day.

A red highland cow with long horns gets up close to inspect the camera. Her ears are down and a little back showing she's relaxed and her nose is right up to the camera blocking most of her body from view and a long piece of grass hangs from the right corner of her mouth.

My family says they couldn't live as far from the city as I do, but having neighbors like this makes it worth a little longer drive to "go out on the town." (Near #rva #ThistledewFold) #cows #pets

I also need this list! I know Against Me! Has some good stuff, though they bump that timeline. Think I heard that @laurajanegrace.bsky.social recently performed at a Fight the oligarchy rally this weekend. ❤️

This is terrifying and so cool at the same time.

The Value of Joy By canceling Joy Reid’s cable news show, MSNBC has not only silenced a brilliant host: It’s silenced the next Black voice you haven’t yet heard.

"The strength it takes to hold the door open for others even while people are trying to shut you out of the room is the strength of Black women in this country." - @elienyc.bsky.social

I've done the almost opposite. I deleted all my socials except this one. The world just seems to be having horrible events...

Xbox Pushes Ahead With New Generative AI. Developers Say ‘Nobody Will Want This’ One developer responds to the release of Muse: “We are implicitly empowering a class of people who own these tools and don’t give a fuck about how they reshape our lives.”

I talked to developers about Microsoft's newly announced generative AI model, Muse, and its role in video games: "When we rely on this stuff we are implicitly empowering a class of people who own these tools and don’t give a fuck about how they reshape our lives."

a little heart.

🎶what the world
needs now
is love, sweet love.🎶

a tweet that shows two pictures of a white cat with a black mullet. the caption says, “I thank God every day that I can see miracles like this on my phone. 1000 years ago, this cat would have been a deity in his village, and I would only know of him through merchant tales.”

beauty comes in many forms

Please. Seriously. Talk to them all. Talk incessantly.

Hilariously realizing I chose the screenshot instead of the actual photo. If you don't know me, this is the perfect introduction.

Brown graphic with text "defamation lawsuit, explained" Below the text are photos of artists Kendrick Lamar and Drake, both talking into a microphone. Behind the men is a star with the text of the Constitution in it. In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

A brown graphic with text "Late last year, Drake sued his label for releasing Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-winning song “Not Like Us.” You may be wondering how the law protects rap beefs and other forms of expression — we’re here to break it down." Below the text is a small shape with text of the Constitution inside. In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

Brown graphic with text "Without commenting on any specific lawsuit or allegation, let’s look at defamation basics. Defamation is a false statement that damages another person’s reputation. It's hard for public officials and celebrities in particular to prove defamation under the law — and that's a good thing for our free speech rights." In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

Brown graphic with text "Speech about public officials and celebrities is protected from a defamation suit if: - It's true - It's false, but you genuinely believed it was true - You make clear that you're stating an opinion based on publicly available information that you think is true For a public figure like Drake to succeed on a defamation claim, he would need to prove the defendant knowingly or recklessly made false and defamatory statements about him – in other words, that they lied on purpose." In the bottom left corner is a white ACLU logo. In the bottom right corner reads "swipe."

Suing over defamation is a common tactic used against artists, activists, and journalists in order to shut them up.

But the First Amendment protects rappers, journalists, and everyone else, too.

I don’t think I can just pick one. I feel so many of them.

A person stands in a fashionable pose, head down, hand behind their head, a shelf in the background, showing off a pink cat hat with a logo tag on the ear. The hat a ribbed crochet, with a fold up brim is of a raspberry pink shade.

Lots happening right now, so if you want to help me support the ACLU, that would be awesome.
For a number of reasons I have not been myself to protest. I write letters, I volunteer my time, and I donate when I can. This is the time.

Not a big football fan, but this needs to be in the world.

You prompted me to check her out on Wikipedia. What a cool lady!

Do you know Bessie Coleman? She was the first Black woman to earn a pilot’s license in 1921 when U.S. flight schools refused her entry. She learned to fly in France and became a famous stunt pilot! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🛬

Love you both. I found the pod about a month ago and I've always leaned toward paganism but been too scared of my Catholic family's judgment. Thank you for your lessons and for helping me find strength in my journey. ♥️♥️

I love your metals in pencil.

Happy Sunday friends. Trying to stay positive. This state sponsored racism, bigotry and misogyny is soul crushing. Keep calling your senators and representatives especially if they’re Republican.

The lerds werk

Instead, simply release the audit. It’s straightforward—everything in the government is documented. If the evidence exists, let America see it. Rather than turning the Super Bowl into a political spectacle, release the audit and let Americans decide.

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

A hound named Darla is resting on a brown couch with a lipstick mark on its head. Actor Morgan Freeman's face is visible on a pillow behind the dog. She is primarily white with patches of light brown and has dark eyeliner like markings around her eyes.

I put on lipstick today. Didn't leave the house, but I put on lipstick.

Quiry - Thoughts on using tiktok:

I was a minimal user, but I had a few accounts I'd check in on a couple times a week. There is a part of me now that's just like "Use it till the gov takes it over."
Can y'all persuade me one way or another? With reference would be even better!

Let’s sprinkle some good stuff on this shitty week.
