I was thinking of the 30-50 feral hogs from Twitter. I don't know that they were blue, but I guess they could've been. 😂

Thanks for sharing. The photos are truly something.

I'm one of today's lucky 10,000, what a great website. I love these friends and they aren't even outtakes

Turns out the 1940s NYC Tax Department photographs (by WPA photogs) include outtakes, and they are so wonderful! 1940s.nyc/outtakes

Boosting this one.

Gorgeous

YouTube video by Jacob Obrecht - Topic Largire nunc mitissime

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Jacob Obrecht (1457/8-1505) was a major composer of masses, but he also wrote secular music. In one set of lyrics that goes with this piece, it's about saying goodbye to friends. In this set of lyrics, it's a wish for peace (I think?). See you around.

BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

“How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?” asks ⁦‪Prem
Thakker,‬⁩ in the wake of Israel’s killing of ⁦‪Anas al Sharif. ‬⁩

Among other things wrong with America, bad anti-American people want to make it illegal to criticize this on college campuses. Some are Trumpists and some are happy to promote Trumpism if it helps them suppress criticism of Israel.

Bitch what?

Whoah! Looks like an extra from Kurasawa's Throne of Blood just kept on walking during the tree scene. 😂🤣

Williams’s argument has found purchase among journalists he might consider fellow travelers — Yascha Mounk, Bari Weiss and Conor Friedersdorf, among others. It’s also not so new; it might remind some people of the debates about political correctness that raged in the 1990s, though Williams might balk at the comparison. He would prefer that we not invoke history (or context, or ideology, or ideas of “moral clarity”) in our debates. He’d rather we understand current events through the facts of what is happening in the here and now. We shouldn’t have tried, he says, to understand the killing of Trayvon Martin on a continuum of racial violence that includes the lynching of Emmett Till, because doing so flattened the incident into a racial drama and did not deal with specific individuals and their actions. Similarly, he argues, the murder of George Floyd should not be seen in the context of racism and police behavior, but in the light of Floyd’s poverty and drug addiction (and I suppose we are not allowed then to contextualize those factors in terms of race, or the history of labor markets, or the pharmaceutical industry — they are just individual characteristics).

Yup. This is what is going to happen all season.

Al Jazeera journalists Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh were killed along with camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa when Israel bombed a journalists' tent in Gaza City, near Al-Shifa Hospital.

The attack killed the whole of Al Jazeera's reporting team in Gaza City.

Oh ffs 🤦🏽‍♀️

It almost feels like there's a corporate resentfulness towards black consumers. Execs are furious that they not only need our money, but need us to market their products too.

YouTube video by simsigga the sims 4's biggest controversy that no one talks about

Was not expecting to hear about the impact George Floyd's murder had on EA and The Sims 4. It's jarring to look back on the corporate response then in comparison to now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLls...

Re-upping this thread because as I say at the end:

The Oct 7 massacre & war on Gaza (genocide) were logical extensions of this ⬇️ & shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. Neither massacre, nor genocide.

The world has stood by & watched, the US thought it could control it all, & here we are.

Another Tennessee community is dealing with the same developers who are part of the Christian nationalist effort in Jackson County. MONDAY on @NC5 at 6PM, we travel to that county to investigate.
