Saw this one recently in Seattle! (The site has a map where other people have set them up too)

A blue box (maybe formerly a newspaper dispenser) with DVDs and a couple VHS tapes inside, painted blue with yellow writing "TAKE A MOVIE, LEAVE A MOVIE" and FREE BLOCKBUSTER.ORG

Congresswoman AOC has introduced a bill that would ban Supreme Court Justices from accepting lavish gifts from the ultra wealthy. Love that, but what I find insane is that this isn’t already illegal.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

So it turns out the "contract" teenagers signed for their student loans wasn't actually a contract at all, the government always had the right to retrospectively change the terms, and at no point was this explained to those taking out the loans... www.newstatesman.com/politics/edu...

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Begging news outlets to stop illustrating deadly heat waves with happy beach fun 🏖️😎 and life-saving vaccines with terrifying needle assaults 💉😭. Especially on social media (where many/most people get their news) the photo is the most prominent part of the story; these choices undermine it completely

This is Sonny. He's excited to announce that summer is officially here. And more importantly he found a really cool stick. 12/10 the best news (IG: itssonnytheberner)

a bernese mountain dog puppy prances toward you across the soft sand of a beach. he has a little stick hanging out of the right side of his mouth, and his eyes are wide with boundless joy. his mouth is indeed very sandy, and he's smiling from his nose to his tail

This is Nolan. His humans have kissed all the color off of his face over the last ten years. Some seniors are silver foxes, he is a silver sweetie pie. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (FB: Alyssa Woznicki)

the frame is split into two photos. the one on the left shows a black dog with a very subtle white stripe down his nose as well as a slightly gray patch on his chest. the image on the right shows the same pup a decade later. his face and legs are nearly all white now.

A pivotal moment today: a British Prime Minister acknowledges that the tech bros, unless forced, won't do right by our children. It's pivotal because the next logical step is to acknowledge that the tech bros also won't, unless forced, do right by our whole society.

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

Another shot of the door at St Edward’s, Stow-on-the-wold.

The church door at St Edward’s, Stow-on-The-Wold.

Supposedly inspired Tolkien’s writing of the “Door of Durin” from the Lord of the rings (although this is not authenticated, but he was known to visit stow in particular)

The church resides on the site of a Saxon church and these two ancient yew have grown against the doors for centuries, their roots embedding themselves naturally framing the arched stone door frame. Above, Are stained glass windows with ornate tracery, in reds and blue. A wrought iron lantern hangs above the door which lights up the Cotswold stone in the evenings .

This door is highly popular in stow and heavily photographed by Tolkien fans in the summertime, so I visited on a early morning during a rain shower, and got a good few moments to appreciate the church and the churchyard on my own. Highly recommended a visit to stow if you are ever in the Cotswolds!

BBC currently asking motorists who have bought massive cars if parking spaces are too small. “Yes“ says a lady who has bought an absurd monster of a car. No lady, the spaces are not to small, your car is too big. If the spaces are fine for my 6 seater MPV then they should be big enough for anyone.

The world’s ten richest people — almost all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $220 billion in May. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.9 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

Kids deserve the freedom of mobility. Forced car dependency isn’t good for anyone, especially kids. Healthy cities support all modes for all ages.

"Oh no, my dragon hatched while I was away!" You're looking at a crater agate from Argentina, described as "Red Fox agate" or Orellanite. Let's learn something about these amazing earth-dragon eggs & how they form. But first... (📷: The Mineral Collective FB)

A geode rock with an outer dark color and an inner red that seems to almost glow because of the subtle gradient from black to red. Very dramatic and dragon-like because of the grape-like clustering that resembles scales.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.
