“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

What's mad about all this is beyond the obnoxious murderous cruelty; none of it will significantly impact US/global fuel prices, none of it solves the prevailing crisis which triggered this by the US attacking Iran and Hormuz being closed. It's typically idiotic, without strategy, evil.

Right, it turns out that instead of letting the Republicans set the terms of the debate, you can simply tell them and their enablers in the media to cram it. El-Sayed has been doing the same thing. It's long overdue.

Ukraine's new campaign of destroying Russia's data centers will prove devastating for Putin's economy and war machine if the White House is unable to prevent it. The chaos we're already seeing across Russia is only four days into the campaign and 3 facilities targeted.

If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed.

I love this example of refashioning. Whilst the chopping of an 18th century man’s waistcoat might not be quite the thing today, it is a beautiful reimagining of a garment that retains its original details but wholly in the style of #1950s womenswear #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Three quarter view of a cream silk waistcoat covered with floral embroidery. It has pocket flaps and covered buttons consistent with an 18th century man’s waistcoat but has been tailored for a woman in the 1950s

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

This is obvious race-baiting, flailing dictator wannabe bullshit. But they still haven’t learned how tough Rep. Omar is. She’s also incredibly popular in her district: won her last election with approx 75% of the vote despite both conservative Democrats and ALL Republicans trying to take her out.

Look, people keep saying shit like this, and I do not know how to explain to people that "I want the Democrats to hold the GOP accountable for their crimes" is not a statement that the GOP has no agency. It is saying they have agency, they are choosing to do evil, and you have to stand up to them.

Here's what they don't tell you about woodpecker tongues: Some of them are barbed (pileated & downy 'peckers) to allow them to spear insects. The barbs are keratinized, so *hard*. Meaning woodpecker *threat displays* can involve poking an interloper with a barbed tongue. (📷: u/ElvisIsNotDjed)

It will be very important in the next two years to proactively prevent the destruction of millions of records. We need the names of every ICE thug, of every DOGE chud, we need to have all the receipts. There should be no process for those who deny others due process - but there must be evidence.

You don't hear about those, because they don't go mad during the transformation - which occurs because of the caloric deficit caused by adding on all of that body mass. When you get smaller, you wind up with energy surplus - so you can quietly just do dog stuff until the full moon passes.

It's extremely corrosive to civil order that we hear "Trump is breaking the law" and most people think "when I break the law I am *minimally* involved in a drawn out cruel display of state power and *maximally* deprived of my freedom" and for actual members of the government its a "whoopsie".

Creating an "AI" avatar of your dead loved one w/o their input or consent, & saying that it counts "the same" as the dead loved one— ESPECIALLY as evidence in a MURDER TRIAL— is both a massive misunderstanding of what "AI" is & how it works, & a hugely dehumanizing insult to said dearly departed.
