I am fascinated by the reptile keeping world, and specifically venomous keepers - I used to follow Viperkeeper consistently until his Libertarian rants got to be overwhelming in the face of rising Dumpism - but it is wild to me what risks some of these guys will take.

"“Since I’ve been here, I don’t remember supplying antivenom for a single female patient,” Torregrosa says. “And there are female reptile keepers. There are lots of them. But the bites definitely tend to be men.”"

We should have "V for Vendetta" playing on infinite loop on every projector nationwide. (That this was my kid's hyperfixation movie for actual years maybe says something about me. Not sure what, though.)

Infinite Sky: The Story of Tsien Hsue-Shen, the Scienti… The middle-grade biography explores the life of a young…

I know a lot of us are excited about the Artemis launch today, so just wanted to share this:

I have a book coming out in 2027/2028 on H.S. Tsien, one of the members of the Suicide Squad, and a co-founder of JPL.

All I can think is how excited they would have been for today.

They would not have stepped in on this had the public outcry been so loud, so please don't give them any credit.

if i ran a nonprofit news org that depended on donations from a very anti-AI and pro-labor donor base, i would elect NOT to stick it to the employer union, especially over an issue like basic AI guardrails

If you wish people had come forward sooner, help create a world where they feel safe doing so, where it isn't going to ruin their mental health and haunt them for years.

Or, you know. Shut the fuck up.

Black Women Deserve Answers About the Chemicals in Braiding Hair: Opinion A new report found high lead levels in both synthetic and natural braiding hair. It’s unclear how toxic these products are—but it shouldn’t be so hard to get basic information about our health.

I have lead in my hair right now.

Not hypothetically.

According to a new Consumer Report investigation, the exact human braiding hair on my head—Ywigs Water Wave Bulk—tested with the HIGHEST lead levels of any product analyzed.

Let me tell you why that matters beyond the obvious. 🧵

One was a pastor; the other was a pilot (Flying Tigers, but for flying Fat Alberts over The Hump rather than fighter jets), military officer, & later mentor/instructor at Def. Int. School.

Hey so what was done to Jasmine Crockett via "left"-leaning entities was incredibly vile, and we should be thoroughly ashamed. I'll never see Colbert the same way again.

Here you have a candidate who has been in congress fighting hard for her constituents & more, out loud, w/skill & grace under *wild* pressure, & you decide "but what if this milquetoast white dude instead" is the road you want to go down?

It's gross, it's race & misogyny ALWAYS, & we rebuke it.

The concerted campaign, evidently run by left-side groups, to diminish and disrupt Jasmine Crockett's candidacy, is why Dems stay losing.

I have loved this man all my life and it’s so moving seeing the camera cut to do many other famous people in the room who look at Harrison Ford exactly like we look at Harrison Ford. What a moving and thoughtful reflection and what a humble, decent guy

What was that about "contempt" for Americans?

How DARE they. How can any sitting member of Congress allow this admin to continue, treating servicemembers this way?

(Leaving entirely aside the profligate slaughter of schoolchildren, which this nation has already made clear it cares nothing about)

I know calling your electeds all the time is both exhausting and something a sane nation wouldn't need to do ALL the time, but please tell your Congresspeople to demand an end to this unnecessary, expensive, heinous war immediately.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.
