I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

An “administrative error” will leave British Columbians with $1.5B less & LNG corporations with that much more. That's more than the budget of BC’s cancelled affordable housing program. Losing housing is a budgetary necessity, yet losing $1.5B to LNG corporations is just an error?

I think @readtheorchard.org nails it with this. To use the heuristic "The purpose of a system is what it does," the purpose of Carney's government is quite clearly to advance a nakedly corporate agenda at the expense of Canadians (and the environment). open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...
"While it’s easy to write off Carney’s unrequited policy concessions as a failed negotiating tactic, I suggest it’s more helpful to understand them as part of a broader corporate authoritarian consensus that Carney is willfully facilitating, acting less as a head of state and more as the CEO of Canada Inc., maximizing value for shareholders."

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

One of the most under covered aspects of Elon going to the far right was how it was triggered by his daughter Vivian coming out as trans. Journalists just can't seem to grasp that this is one of his primary motivating factors.

**A screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) thread containing three parts:**
 * **Original Post:** A post by user Syd Steyerhart (@SydSteyerhart) on May 31 reading, "We should never forget that if not for Vivian, Elon Musk never would have gotten involved, never would have purchased Twitter, Kamala Harris would be President and the Left-wing would have total instrumental control over the construction of Skynet."
 * **Quoted Post:** A quoted post from Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) on May 30 that reads, "JUST IN - Music icon Rihanna has enlisted Elon Musk’s transgender child to model in the latest campaign for a lingerie brand – DailyMail". Attached is a promotional photo of a young woman with long blonde hair modeling a black two-piece lingerie set. The top features white text with phrases including "QUEER," "LOVE," "LOUD," and "PROUD," and she is wearing a draped, crystal fringe belt over the bottoms.
 * **Reply:** A reply to the thread by Elon Musk (@elonmusk), posted 16 hours prior to the screenshot, which simply reads, "True".

There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

exactly 48 years ago, voyager 1 took the first image of the earth and moon in the same frame from over 7 million miles away.
This picture of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon, the first of its kind ever taken by a spacecraft, was recorded Sept. 18, 1977, by NASA Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 million miles 11.66 million kilometers from Earth. Because the Earth is many times brighter than the Moon, the Moon was artificially brightened by a factor of three relative to the Earth by computer enhancement. Credit: NASA/JPL
