Periodic reminder:

DOGE, ICE/CBP, others in this admin have committed countless very serious crimes in broad daylight.

They need to be prosecuted, publicly, from leaders to foot soldiers.

Earliest octopuses were giant top predators in Cretaceous oceans Top predators drive changes in ecosystem structure. For the last ~370 million years, large-sized vertebrates have dominated the apex of the marine food chain, while invertebrates have served as smalle...

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists.

I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

World food systems ‘pushed to the brink’ by extreme heat, UN warns Severe heatwaves in commonly hot regions could leave farmers unable to work outside, with livestock mortality rates expected to rise

"Extreme heat is threatening the world’s food systems, with farmers unable to work outside, livestock experiencing stress and crop yields falling, putting the livelihoods of more than a billion people in peril..."

Sadly, climate concern is woke, so I guess a billion people just gotta burn/starve.

Knife killings down by 21%, figures show The annual ONS crime data also shows overall recorded homicides have fallen.

Lots of "commentators" are rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides at their lowest level in 50 years and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level

USAID Whistleblower Says It Was Even Worse Than People Knew Political appointees wanted a quiet drawdown, the whistleblower says. DOGE wanted an execution.

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

We must keep age verification from killing anonymity online | Proton Powerful forces are exploiting parents’ fears to strengthen their toxic business models. Here’s how we stop them.

Age verification sounds reasonable until you realize it means every adult hands over their ID just to go online.

We wrote about why this is a terrible idea and what should happen instead.

there isn’t much to do here as legal analysis. this is a company run by children. they allegedly treat women differently as a matter of policy, have no complaint process, demote people who engage in protected activity, and fired this woman when she came back from FMLA.

if true, he’s fucked

this is a *wild* thing to put in the handbook. the whole point of a company handbook is to have a document that says how perfect your policies are when you get to litigation. it is, literally, a defense against punitive damages—but not if it says this lol

I think this is misleadingly presented. It is legal for a 16-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man to have sex in the UK. He is using this to sell his 'redemption' arc to US conservatives, it is not something he is on trial for; he's on trial for rape and assault of several adult women.

Mosaic of St George killing a dragon. Showing a dark skinned, black haired man in Roman armour with a thin lance stabbing a dragon that looks like a largish lizard.

L'occasion de rappeler que Cordelia Fine dans Testosterone Rex démontre que "LA" prise de risque dont parle ces gens est un pur mythe : chez l'homme c'est celle valorisée socialement (sports extrêmes, finance) et chez les femmes c'est ce qui est invisibilisé (quitter un conjoint violent, accoucher).

I'm so goddamn tired of a tame media enabling what amounts to fraud by advertising "we're gonna do a thing but there's not contract and no exchange of cash" as an investment.

And yes, it *is* advertising, because if I said I was going to fart myself into orbit it wouldn't be news unless I did it.

The U.S. tech giant's latest investment ‌reflects rising demand for AI technologies and positions Australia as a key growth market.

Here we fucking go again.

A company SAYING they will make an investment - especially a FUTURE investment - is not in itself an investment. Many of these "investments" have fallen through.

Unless there's money on the table right fucking now, it reflects nothing.

Le nouveau maire RN de Liévin, D. Paiva, supprime la cérémonie du 1er Mai, organisée chaque année par la ville en hommage aux travailleurs & aux mineurs, sous prétexte que les syndicats font de la politique. C’est un signe supplémentaire du danger que représente le RN au pouvoir.

One of the most frequent causes of Charlie Kirk related cancellation was accurately representing his views, or even quoting them verbatim.
She expressed grief about Kirk's murder, and the only hateful thing in the comments came from Kirk himself.
