Blueberry cake and a kitten

Also, the album from Horne Section TV Show Series 1 is on Spotify right now. Songs from this season will be uploaded after every episode. I think.

a light gold cockapoo pup walks toward the camera in a field of grass. behind her is a herd of similarly colored alpacas. it appears as if they are both curious and in awe as they follow the curly pup.

This is Nugget. She only met these new friends today, but they have already made her their leader. 13/10

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

I've been trying to pay attention - my kid is supposed to be starting a program in meteorology this fall.

I don't know if I should tell them to pick something else, or what. Either no jobs, or only jobs working for Evil, Inc.

It's terrifying.

I keep saying this... both operationally and in research, the situation is still much worse than most people seem to realize or want to accept.

White With Fear - Film Review - Eye For Film A deep dive into the decades-long quest by America's conservative political machine to amass power by exploiting racial fault lines and stoking narratives of white victimisation.

It's interesting timing - just when one of PBS' big hitters has released this documentary about the Republican Party. www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/white...

this is literally all of it, in every single anti affirmative action movement everywhere on earth

was JUST explaining this - do NOT validate the premise, ever. That's the fucking game. When RFK says "these people will never pay taxes" the response isn't "yes they will" it's "who cares, that's a human being, I don’t give a fuck what you say, we do not create metrics for whether someone is human"

Rfk: autistic people will never contribute to capitalism

Liberals: here are many autistic people who contribute to capitalism

Rfk: exactly, we both agree that the rest of autistic people can go in the Machine

This is why you don't legitimize a guy who wants to mass murder people.

it isn't controversial to say "german citizens in the late 1930s should have killed gestapo and brownshirts on sight and physically pulled down hitler and executed him and his entire command structure at midday in downtown berlin, to prevent the holocaust"

my right to survive is not related to my ability to mask and pass, tattoo that on your forehead so you don't forget

As allied army troops approached Nazi concentration camps, some guards put on prison uniforms & tried to blend in. But they were too well fed to blend & the inmates usually grabbed them & beat them to death anyway. And some horrified troops killed & buried the guards, saying later, “they fled.”

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very. One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

If you live in a military town you could do worse in terms of activism than retyping that tweet to be nice and readable and then printing it off in sizes ranging from 1/8th page to full sheet and leaving them absolutely everywhere in town

Elephants are the fucking BEST.

the core of tech bro fascism is a bunch of dudes who simultaneously hate artists and the creative process more than anything and lack the ability to interpret reality outside of what they've been taught by movies and TV

fun fact: ICE was created in 2002 with near unanimous support from congressional democrats!

When this even needs to be stated like this, it means that a wrong turn has been taken somewhere in education.

It starts in primary school, where it feels like you're being graded on putting the weight in the right place. Lifting effort still needs good grades, even if the placement is imperfect.

Republican's job was to be big scary fashy nazi monsters and Democrat's job was to pretend to be interested in stopping them so that no one actually would. flawless execution across the board

united states is a nazi regime, made possible by decades of effort by both major parties acting in coordination

If you're in a political party and 4 of you just voted to make it illegal for married women to vote, and *no one kicked them out of the party*, you're in a political party that wants to make it illegal for married women to vote.

It is not a hard concept.

literally all they had to do to beat trump was stop sending money and bombs for israel to kill children with. that's it. the data was there for months, and they said "nah we'd rather lose to a fascist"

If you're fantasizing about people to your left ideologically being kidnapped and tortured by an unaccountable extrajudicial secret police, you have some serious questions you need to ask yourself right now

a disturbing number of people on b sky dot app object to naziism purely on aesthetic grounds, while clearly ok with, and even enthusiastic about, the core principles

wild to me how people can be like "If more people had just voted blue we wouldn't be in this mess" while democrats are right there assisting with the fascism right this fucking minute

If the rest of the world would like to HAVE a world to continue to live on....they might want to start banding together to figure out how to crush this nonsense.

I mean, ideally we'd do it ourselves, but does the world really want to bet on that?

a small dog wearing a black and orange bandana, collar, and leash sits on a leafy dirt path and looks up at us with large brown eyes. she's white with brown spots on her ears and eyes. she has brown speckles on her left paw, and her right paw is actually a bright orange webbed duck foot. she likes to have fun with her prosthetics.

This is Autumn. She was born without one paw. Gets along just fine with three, but still sometimes uses a prosthetic leg when she wants to blend in. 13/10

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
