THIS. I’m in NC, which has been a testing ground for GOP fuckery for *years*.

Absolutely FASCINATING thread about heat shielding and re-entry.

I missed the original thread when it was first posted, so thanks for reposting it. Love that @tylerfromtheinternet.com included resources for folks who need help adding alt-text!

Accurate alt-text that’s *also* funny? The. Best.

Michael B Jordan all ripped and oily holding a sculpt of his own chest as if he burst out of it and in his left hand and on the left side of his body he has a cool trench coat on but the right side is just bare body with deltoids and pecs and triceps and obliques and forearms and then he has on these green pants made out of Rich Person Material, probably some kind of rare animal leather and the lighting accentuates all the creases pointing to his schmeat oh yeah by the way even his nipple is shiny Rolling Stone did this

Have we discussed this yet?

🧵 New post: "How MAHA Fucked Up My Surgery"

I was catheterized by 2 new graduate nurses (one of whom had never done the procedure on a patient before), using incorrect technique, without adequate pain control, after a delay that doubled my volume past the hospital's own intervention threshold

"The whole [MAHA eugenicist] apparatus depends on the harm being illegible as policy..."

LOL

and SAME

No lie, I saved this as a response/comment meme on my phone when I first saw it. So thanks!

I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

I’m so sorry.

Outstanding.

I lost it at “sensual blue romper”

Approval of the dailies is just a jaw-dropping level of micromanagement.

And hubris. Like, I’ve watched thousands of movies over my lifetime, and still I KNOW I wouldn’t be able to judge dailies in any useful way.

Excellent piece on the tangled history of Sherlock Homes copyright, including the relationship between adaptations of Holmes and *Amos n’ Andy*, of all things.

Btw, Young Sherlock is utterly bonkers and I kinda love it.

OMG I remember when this happened, I literally lived two streets over at the time.

I hope that the new investigation brings some justice to bear.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Fantastic photograph
Fantastic actor

I love everything about this.

I am so fucking tired of waking up and reading about the latest massacre

I am so fucking sad that none of this surprises me anymore

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com #ArtificialIntelligence systems increasingly shape and permeate our mentality and social environments. Like every great historical transformation, this too calls not only for technical competence, but also for a humanistic formation capable of making visible the logic behind economics, embedded biases and forms of power that shape our perception of reality. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 91K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 209K Views

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 696K Views

This short thread is worth reading:

Act up activism is actually an amazing model for social change, in your face direct action, inside outside organizing, science led policy platforms, no monopoly on action, incredibly savvy media strategy, etc. and what a legacy to have been affiliated with this movement
