The Associated Press is reporting that the Virginia Redistricting Referendum has passed!
Virginians land yet another blow to Donald Trump’s attempts to maintain power over Congress.
One winner: Virginia State Senator & dedicated poster L. Louise Lucas, who spearheaded the “10-1!” push
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?
Two terracotta tiles with white slip design. The design of the two adjacent tiles forms half of a circle. Half a small circle in the centre is surrounded by top half of an 8 pointed star form. Between the points of the stars can be seen 4 small 5 petal flowers. On the visible corners of each tile, at the top left and right are fleur de lis designs. Eltham Palace would have been in countryside during its royal habitation, but now in greater London south of Greenwich / Woolwich. Much later in 20th C converted by Courtaulds to stylish Art Deco residence.

From decorative pavement of 1290s Great Hall, the earliest building at Eltham Palace, built for Bishop Bek of Durham.
Bek presented Eltham to Edward II in 1305, and it remained a royal residence, enhanced, altered and used by monarchs through to Charles I. Henry VIII grew up here.
George Washington ordered his troops to get the smallpox inoculation. Because an infectious disease burning through the armed forces is what weakens our war-fighting capabilities.
These people are cretinous fanatics.
I cop got shot almost 2 hours from us... I don't care
It annoys me that AI slop, specifically, has ruined the niche of the quick photoshop joke.
Just an utter flood of garbage unleashed by removing the barrier of "spend a couple hours learning how a piece of software works".
I'm glad I wasn't asleep yet because a fuckass "blue alert" just blared through both mine and Colin's speakers
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

The Onion and Tim Heidecker combining forces to run Infowars is news so good that it'll either forcefully shunt us onto a new utopian timeline or instead trigger a counterbalancing negative event in the form of nuclear war. No middle ground
My photo shows a Hellenistic era hemispherical mosaic glass bowl viewed from above. The glass has a floral pattern made up of tiny, many-petalled blue, white, and yellowy-green flowers against a dark purple background (looks black in my photo). The bowl has an alternating diagonal-striped black and white glass rim. The bowl has been reconstructed from fragments and the plain light blue areas are where missing glass fragments have been replaced during reconstruction. It measures 13.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height. It was made in the eastern Mediterranean about 200-100 BC.
This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!
Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

just write it terrible for five minutes and see where it goes. or write questions to yourself into the draft—“what the fuck goes here, i don’t know, but it’s something about blah blah this will sound smarter later” is acceptable rough draft material
Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we!
Have you:
-had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently?
-used any calming or grounding techniques you like?
-eaten a food?
If not, do that now. 💜
Photo of Pedro Pascal wearing a dark grey blazer and loosely tied necktie, paired with short blue denim jorts. He is holding some cream coloured roses in one hand and the other is over his crotch where he has suggestively tucked his index finger into his fly. You’re welcome.
I might be misreading things but it feels like the timeline could use a picture of Pedro Pascal in little shorty jorts
I'm a little convinced when the Strawhats are at a restaurant Sanji is ordering for maybe half the table but especially Luffy since Luffy would be leaning over like "Sanji what's a beef stroken off"
This is incredible.
Also. Fuck RFK Jr.
It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

The backless dress became one of the signature style of the #1930s, redirecting the gaze. Gowns of the period are often more decorative at the back than they are at the front, a case in point this c1933 dress by Augusta Bernard @philamuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

It’s such a crazy coincidence how the people in Hollywood advocating for use of AI are the ones who already have enough resources to exploit it for personal financial gain
The first one was because she was on my lap and spouse moved, which scared her and she latched on. The second was just because she's mean lmao
Two scratches on a white thigh. They're both about 2 inches long. One of them is old and scabbed, and one is fresh and red.
In the last week, #biptheclowncat has scratched me on the same leg twice. First it was accidental, but this morning it was because I dared try to put her in her carrier 😑
Stamp art of the new logo, showing Irish language names on a signpost with Reclaim Your Placename.
Stamp doodle logo for the @cnagaeilge.bsky.social AthGhaelú campaign "to encourage people to use Irish placenames instead of English placenames in all aspects of life."
They've also created a Gealltanas Logainmneacha "to encourage individuals and groups to use Irish-only placenames" #SpéirGhorm

Casual reminder (to the folks in the comments, NOT Madeline) that the new Archbishop of Canterbury is a woman......... and that she got the job after they *got rid of the male church leader who had covered up for abuse*.....
which the Pope did not and will not do
