Who hasn't planned middle east military strikes in a group chat with some mates and accidentally added the editor in chief of a major news magazine, could happen to anyone

A Calvin & Hobbes 4-panel strip:
1. Calvin running at high speed, jubilant
2. Calvin skidding to a stop; off-panel bubble reads "Calvin, stop running through the house!"
3. Calvin spiking the reader, cheerful. His bubble reads "the law is on the books, but it would take all their resources to enforce it."
4. Calvin running off-panel. Off-panel bubble reads "CALVIN!"

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help. Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.)

The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved.

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A passage from the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century guide to hunting witches. “Question 10: Whether witches may work some Prestidigitory Illusion so that the Male Organ appears to be entirely removed from the body. Here is declared the truth about diabolic operations with regard to the male organ. And to make plain the facts in this matter, it is asked whether witches can with the help of devils really and actually remove the member, or whether they only do so apparently by some glamour or illusion. And that they can actually do so is argued a fortiori; for since devils can do greater things than this, as killing them or carrying them from place to place—as was shown above in the cases of Job and Tobias—therefore they can also truly and actually remove men’s members.”

It’s 10:30pm on a Monday, and I’m eating ice cream & reading the Malleus Maleficarum (1486) in bed, b/c of course

Anyway, did you know that witches can “truly and actually” remove dicks and not just make them seem to disappear?
