A very tall lava fountain with tiny dots (people) near the base. The image is a bit forced perspective and we are not as close as it looks

Someone captured my colleagues an I servicing the cameras during KΔ«lauea’s episode 42. We stopped to discuss what we were seeing, but because I talk with my hands it looks like I’m fixing to push someone in…

The @nytimes.com is transparently afraid that AOC will run for president and win, so they are undermining her with cheap tricks.

They don't do this with Trump, who literally has dementia, because they like him and want to protect his image.

Hey @adamschiff.com and @padilla.senate.gov . Senator Markey is right. Are you going to do the same?

you don't understand, J.D. Vance has been to Italy before, and that's how he knows all the food tastes like spit and all the beverages taste like urine.

not sure how he got an Airbus McDonald's through customs though. special permit I guess

King: boy those Epstein emails
King: it's really sobering to see how money and power allowed sex predators to operate
Neil Gaiman: hello everyone
Gaiman: i'm back
Barker: oh boy
Barker: oh boy you sure picked a time

I wrote "Neil Gaiman is a rapist" on all of mine and put them in Little Free Libraries.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.

Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

That's satire. "Little Girls" is a villain song. It makes a mockery of the men who go after girls.

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

Hi @mctelevision.bsky.social , I enjoyed your Salon article on Bowie's Jareth. However, one line stood out like a sour note:

"What did teen girls bopping to β€œModern Love” know about any of that? Zilch."

Teen girls read philosophy and mythology! Teen girls have minds. Why devalue that?

Abolish. Not "rein in" or "train" or anything lesser. Full abolition and then PROSECUTION.

They are committing state-sponsored murders. You can't "rein in" that.

3-panel comic. (1) [Three small arthropods on ocean floor.] ARTHROPOD 1: Now that we’re multicellular, what are your plans? I’m gonna evolve little legs and swim around with them! ARTHROPOD 2: I’m gonna evolve sharp pincers and use them to crunch stuff! ARTHROPOD 3: I’m gonna evolve glands to make string from my butt and use it to construct elaborate geometric nets hundreds of times my size to catch other animals. (2) [Silence] (3) ARTHROPOD 1: *Dude.* ARTHROPOD 2: Can you *please* just be normal about this? ARTHROPOD 3: *What??!*
