I like how NASA is using this mission to do a little PR on behalf of the value of distinctly human observation in the scientific process.

I'm reading Absolute Batman right now and has Batman always had the thickiest thick thighs or is this a new artistic development

jerry from tom and jerry is crying while holding a bottle of tomato juice in his mouth . Alt: jerry from tom and jerry is violently weeping and holding his mouth, screaming

... and then the pachy was coughing and the t-rex was coughing and they locked eyes in the burning forest and in any other circumstance they would fight but their world was on fire so they just turned away from each other and wandered away to die alone... #TheDinosaurs

@governorwalz.mn.gov what are you doing? Folks in MN are days away from rent being due but 10s of thousands of people are being impacted by ICE and the Federal government. You need to push to pass a rent moratorium until ICE IS OUT of MN. Please move on this fast.

Sammy, those are fucking onions.

is there a more middle class work from home problem than the ice cream truck parking in front of your house during your last hour of work just blasting that electronic whimsy music

After considerable soul-searching, I feel compelled to withdraw from the BAFTA emerging talent judging panel. The organisation's handling of the unfortunate Tourette's N-Word incident last night at the awards was utterly unforgivable. I cannot and will not contribute my time energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community. This is particularly unfortunate given that this year's cohort boasts some incredible Black talent, especially one of my favourite shows of 2025 "Just Act Normal". However, when an organisation like BAFTA, with its own long history of systemic racism, refuses to acknowledge the harm inflicted on both the Black and disabled communities and offer an appropriate apology, remaining involved would be tantamount to condoning its behaviour. I hope BAFTA leadership comprehend the damage they and the BBC have caused and take the necessary steps to ensure their production staff are inclusive enough to prevent such an issue in the future. Yours sincerely, Jonte Richardson

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS
FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

It's going to be really funny if we find out Khionians are actually really big on personal space. #StarfleetAcademy #StarTrek

Texas A&M University cancels programs in women's and gender studies The university said it had also modified hundreds of courses and cancelled six in efforts to eliminate teaching related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

I am very proud of my PhD in English Rhetoric and my certificate in Women & Gender Studies from Texas A&M University.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

Good for Luigi and all BUT THE GOVERNMENT HAS JUST ARRESTED A HANDFUL OF BLACK JOURNALISTS FOR COVERING A PROTEST HAD AT THAT CHURCH WITH THE ICE AGENT MINISTER — INCLUDING DON LEMON AND GEORGIA FORT

Bridgerton series 4 coming out during the centenary anniversary of England and Wales' Adoption Act seems well timed. A reminder that the system of adoption was [partially] set up to ensure the legal inheritance rights of people like Sophie Baek.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Vigil Held for Alex Pretti, Second Person Killed by ICE in Minneapolis

Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse with the US Dept of Veterans Affairs. He was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. He's the second person killed by ICE this month. More at our website & past posts.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Y'know that John Mulaney joke about how you can say all types of gross stuff as long as it's on Law & Order SVU? You can say all kinds of gross stuff during primetime as long as it's in the side effects section of a Jardiance commercial.

(likely) Last dispatch from a Minnesota airport:

This accent makes announcements very amusing. Like

Please do not leave your behgs unattended

All carryon behgs and behggage are subject to search

Getting a Rhetoric PhD from Texas A&M in 2023 feels like getting the last eagle off of Mt Doom

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
