Thoughts while watching the premiere of season 17 of #dragrace : they are switching up production bits, and I’m here for it!!!! New stage, new cold open. thank GOD Ru wore a different style of wig in the ru mail videos. There was no face halo for a change!

Heads up: @nkjemisin.bsky.social's THE FIFTH SEASON is on US sale for $3 today; I got 6 copies for random giveaway.

Article 54 of Protocol I of the 1977 Geneva Convention. 1. Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited. 2. It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as food-stuffs, agricultural areas for the production of food-stuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies and irrigation works, for the specific purpose of denying them for their sustenance value to the civilian population or to the adverse Party, whatever the motive, whether in order to starve out civilians, to cause them to move away, or for any other motive.

A reminder about the prohibitions in the Geneva Conventions against starving civilians, destroying foodstuffs or drinking water installations, or forcing civilians to move away. Here's the text of Article 54 of Protocol I of the 1977 Geneva Convention (alt-text is embedded in the image):

new gender neutral greeting just dropped

Rev. BARBER arrested??? I hope they choke on a fish this size.

Cory Booker just said that Trump would enjoy something after death, “from heaven.” Hmm. Survey says . . . Wrong location.

Thank you @tressiemcphd.bsky.social for reminding me to remind everyone else to

Spotify push notification: New album coming soon. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky started the countdown on Spotify.

Hmm. Did he now.

For dinner, I had raspberries and a bag of mushroom jerky. It’s like girl dinner, if the girl is also a bear

I REALLY wanted to touch the clay that looks like chocolate ice cream

I was just on hold with Experian for an hour, so I took the opportunity to tell them that their AI text to voice program thinks “FICO” is “FI-company”

The Trump Administration Just Deleted Part of American History. If They Get Away With It, We Could Be Headed to a Very Dark Place. This is far more serious than the loss of a few letters.

all outstanding pigs. how can one but love the Danish Protest Pig

When’s the general strike?

Both senators thom Tillis and Ted Budd have full voicemails, huh? Wonder why.

In software, why does “pilot” mean something in testing? Maybe it’s just me, but I personally want an experienced expert flying a plane

I love you Durham.

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy:

How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

Well, what the fuck. Jefferson Griffin is trying to throw out my partner’s vote.
