Rage Against the Miocene

Tweet from @GooseyMane on Twitter reads: Can somebody explain to me why it's bad if immigrants take out jobs but it's good if AI does?

Good night, Bluesky

Life expectancy of ~35 was the average, which was mainly caused by children dying very young.

My great, great grandmother survived 14 of her children.

We vaccinate children because we want them to outlive us.

Anti-vaxers are killing children through gross negligence/ignorance

The greens may be the threat that the right never saw coming.

Our movement is living rent free in the heads of Telegraph journalists at the moment.

Join me in being ‘a threat to the right that they never saw coming’.

comic from webcomicname.com, "different" panel 1: pink blob creature: "I want things to be different" panel 2: creature smashes everything panel 3: creature stands in wreckage: "oh no"

as always, the most accurate summation of modern politics ever created

But this, I'm sure, doesn't violate any rules against inciting or glorifying violence.

The GOP has done nothing on healthcare in the 21st century other than stop Dems from improving it. Literally nothing.

Acceptable Traumas or How We Measure (A) Violence A poetic contribution to Epigram’s Anti-MicroAgressions campaign

As part of Epigram’s (University of Bristol's student newspaper) 2018 campaign to raise awareness about microaggressions, I submitted the following poem. Everything I have included is informed by talking with students & colleagues and from personal experience. Sadly.

Also even if there is Top Secret material justifying a ban, it’s very difficult I think to argue that retired GPs and Quaker students holding up a cardboard sign are party to that information or responsible for it

I was just thinking about this

Trying to send in outside troops against a state's wishes is ofc a significant escalation and meaningful line crossed, but civil war isn't two armies meeting up on a grassy battlefield anymore--what does civil war look like in 2025? Is this already what it looks like?

Defence ministry spends millions on private schools to avoid Welsh Military personnel receive a private education allowance to avoid lessons in Welsh in state schools.

"The Ministry of Defence spends around £1m a year sending children to private schools in north Wales because 'state schools teach some or all lessons in the Welsh language' "

What complete and utter stupidity - and an insult to us Welsh

The Greenlandification of Antarctica | Nature Geoscience Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

Incidentally, the very nice schematic of cryosphere changes over both ice sheets was drawn by @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social Tak! 🙏

New paper out today in @nature Geosciences:

There are a lot of great things about being married to a lawyer/in-house counsel and one of them is that he insisted that I truly understand that the law is whatever the people in power say it is.

He trained as a critical race theorist & this actually one of the legit reasons these people hate CRT

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Earth Was a Fungal World Before Plants Existed Fungi arose long before plants, shaping Earth with early soils and nutrient cycles. Their hidden legacy shows they may have prepared the world for life to flourish on land.

Fungal colonisers of land.

The faint impression of a snail can be seen in this limestone rock lying on a shore.

The clear impression of a snail can be seen inside a limestone rock lying amongst other limestone rocks on the shore in the sun.

Found some fun fossils on the beach the other day. These snails date back to the Ordovician period over 440 million years ago 🌿

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Arrest of conservative influencer Nick Sortor outside Portland ICE building now under federal investigation | CNN A conservative influencer who this week posted videos of clashes outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Oregon, has been released without bond after he was arrested late...

Harmeet Dhillon is now threatening the entire city of Portland because a conservative influencer got arrested outside the ICE building. These people are insane.

the decline of organized labor in the US is a large problem

Yes. This is also what all the demands to show "gratitude" and this obsession with hierarchy is about.

For a long time they were able to engineer and perpetuate absurd expectations of Black silence and/or obeisance.

A lot of their brains broke when POC on social media simply ... did not do this.

A BLIND ELDERLY man using a mobility cane is ARRESTED for holding a sign which read "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

Still time to apply:

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell infested with bedbugs Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

Thunberg has been detained in international waters, humiliated, and imprisoned in unacceptable conditions. She has not been accused of any crime, nor taken to any court - in violation of intl and domestic law

This is however but a taste of Palestinian daily life

Treasury Department Has Plans To Mint Dollar Coin Featuring Donald Trump's Likeness | Defector The United States Department of the Treasury has developed, to the brink of production, a dollar coin that features the face and likeness of President Donald Trump, according to a source within the Tr...

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

“Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

I view today's decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. This Court should have stayed its hand. Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly mis- judges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the sta- bility our Government has promised them. Because, re- spectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants.

KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance."

Israeli forces attacked Doctors Without Borders workers—who were all wearing marked medical vests.

They killed Omar, a 42-year-old occupational therapist and sole provider for his family.

He was killed at a bus stop, on his way to take care of other people bombed by Israel.

Trump offers top universities funds if they boost conservative ideas Brown and MIT among nine schools told to back conservative views or risk losing federal support, sparking free speech fears

The Right owns the press, and is now coming for the Universities. They're ollowing the fascist playbook to the letter.
