It’s almost like the US was designed to reward rapists and murderers and we should really call it quits and go full Land Back

If someone with an arsenal of bombs and guns made a credible threat to commit mass murder, and they were obviously mentally ill, then they'd be involuntarily committed to a mental institution.

Forget impeachment. Apprehend him for his own safety and that of others.

There's a nice #Artemis II mission tracker here: artemis.cdnspace.ca

LOTS of data about its current position, crew activities, and whether or not the toilet is currently "Go"

I kind of hate this and definitely hate that I might buy this

Photo of US Congress building Protect Medicaid access for people with ME/CFS and Long COVID Congress has mandated that Medicaid recipients work 80 hours a month unless they can prove they are “medically frail,” or risk losing their Medicaid. Attempting to meet an 80‑hour work requirement for most people with ME/CFS and Long COVID will only worsen their illness, and may cause permanent harm. Before states start enforcing these new work rules, the HHS Secretary must issue guidance that will shape how states decide who counts as "medically frail." Join us in demanding that people with ME/CFS and Long COVID are fully protected. Please sign the petition today! Read more here>>

'Brigitte' Magazine (German) German women's magazine, Brigitte, a mainstream publication with a large circulation, has published a special edition about ME/CFS. I've not read it all yet, but by all accounts it's well-informed about the history of, and biomedical research into, the condition. Interviews and feature articles with patients, carers, doctors and researchers explain the condition and the impact it can have. Most interesting to therapists is an in-depth interview with renowned ME advocate and psychotherapist, Dr Bettina Grande, who explains how therapy can (and how it can't) help people with ME/CFS. *** You have to allow adverts to read the magazine for free.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

WHAT FORCED BARR INTO RETIREMENT? “What a journey it’s been for me in this game, but the time has come to hang up my gloves,” said Barr. “In my heart, it’s come 10 years too early but ME/CFS is really no joke. I want to thank everyone, from the coaches to the fans to all the clubs that allowed me to live my dream.” In July 2025, Barr revealed that he had a chronic condition Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. ME/CFS is an illness that causes extreme fatigue and cannot be cured but can be managed. That has kept Barr away from competitive football and he last played an official match in November 2024 for Drogheda who were his last club. The goalkeeper was emotional as he revealed battling ME/CFS. Photo of Jethren Barr

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

It really feels like we did well on a group project

Need some motiv-ocean to leap into the weekend?

🐟 Leaping blennies are amazing amphibious fish who can launch themselves off rocks and into the air up to 50 times their body length.

🌊 These extraordinary terrestrial fish shore do know how to make a splash, both in and outside the water!

Gaseous yellow-orange filaments look like a rose seen from the side and tilted slightly from upper left to lower right, slightly higher than the center of the frame. Extending from the rose to upper left and lower right are gaseous outflows that appear as red lobes that have an overall shape of tall, narrow triangles with rounded tips. Each red triangle is made up of wavy, irregular lines. Dozens of stars are scattered across the field. One particularly bright white star with eight diffraction spikes is located at the top of the yellow rose. Another bright blue star with even more prominent diffraction spikes is to its lower left. The background of space is black. Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Yu Cheng (NAOJ)

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Newsom’s a shitty rich transphobe with a hilarious social media team. I’m really glad he’s taking on dump, an arguably much worse shitty rich transphobe. But let’s remember that once they come for any group of people, they will eventually come for everyone who isn’t a shitty rich white man

Oh wow, it does have a washboard face

Llamas are fish so this applies to both obviously: Do ocean dwelling fish get a lot of dental disease? Do toothed mammal fish get more dental disease than toothed fish fish? I (land fish) need a root canal, for reference

Flowers. Because that’s the only grace I can offer in a day like this.
