Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)
A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye.  It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.

Anyway the idea of a soldier killing an armed civilian on US soil by shooting them in the back is the type of incident that would’ve launched an entire paramilitary movement on the right just as recently as two years ago.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Tangentially, the military has made a service-wide push into using personal phones as work devices, meaning Meta is no doubt ingesting sensitive if not classified/secret data. And I’d be curious what this might mean for Signal.

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Toad walked along the path. A large, soft drop of chocolate ice cream slipped down his arm. “This ice cream is melting in the sun,” said Toad.
Toad strides joyfully through the sunlit grass, arms lifted high in triumph, clutching two melting towers of ice cream. His jacket flutters, his feet are light, and his face is tilted toward the sky as if basking in the sheer delight of his frozen bounty. But the sun beams down, merciless and warm—an unseen villain in this tale of sweet indulgence.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.
