All of this, and also to add: Hazing is how cults filter out whistleblowers. The people that would put a stop to future bad behavior, or even just report it, don’t put up with being hazed.

When you see someone bullied, they're typically not the REAL target. The bully is targeting others to scare them into conformity. "Don't do what that person did, or I'll come for you, too!" Give some thought into what you've refused to do or speak up about because of your own fear of bullying.

At the risk of adopting a hateful trope, “How do you define a journalist?” Or “Political balance”? “The board will be composed only of journalists, with no executives or shareholders allowed to join, the person said, adding that the board will be required to have political balance.”

I keep telling people about how the Christian "Left Behind" books, literal fantasies about the apocalypse, were super, super popular in the late 90s/ early 2000s. I used to read them. Major disasters, while terrible, were also framed by evangelical churches as titillating...sexy almost.

“Never Forget” is honestly bad advice for trauma. Re-living a traumatic event, watching video of it, etc, is simply picking a scab off of a wound & preventing healing.

As stupid as the Trump renaming of geographic features is, I do think major map companies should follow the regional authorities. For the USA, that means USGS. That means Apple & Google shouldn’t instantly change names when an EO is signed, but should when official. Maps are *always* political.

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

How do we choose the leaders after violence? Violent revolutions have a tendency to have a worse government after. Reminder: the American Revolution started with creating the new form of government first. The Revolutionary War was after the first Continental Congress. You still need politics.

The amount of misinformation in this thread is WILD. Passkeys don’t require biometrics, they’re far better than passwords, they don’t require a phone, and they can be synced across many devices. Not going to pile on OP because I get it, there is a LOT to keep up with.

Watching @todayshow.com criticize shorts at work while some wear skirts is infuriating. Our clothing customs are so backwards. Men are usually warmer, so we should be the ones in skirts and sundresses. Women can have full suit jackets. Or, you know, just let people wear what they’re comfortable in!

I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

ICE flights. Tuesday, May 12, 2026. (The landing in Japan was not a deportation, likely a fuel/crew stop.)
An ADSBx map of North and South America, the Pacific Ocean and eastern Asia showing 27 planes doing dozens of flights branching out from Louisiana and Texas toward northern cities (round-up flights), Central and South America and Asia (deportation flights), and going between ICE detention hubs (shuffle flights).A closer crop of the same map showing North and Central America more clearly. There appear to be slightly more deportation flights than usual.A close up of the ICE Air hub of Alexandria, LA, with even more flight path lines going out in every direction than usual
