My latest for @bizarrebeastsshow.bsky.social concerns these li’l cuties that live in our homes and ride around on other bugs.

WHY HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT TO TRY THIS

Perhaps a friend of this cat whose birthday was advertised in Lowry Hill a few weeks back?

@danielobrien.bsky.social I meant to make this updated GIF ages ago. Congrats on all the congratulatable stuff!

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

DAMMIT CHANDA

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment.

Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Trying hard to remember all the philosophy faculty to work out who it was…

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

I wrote a script for an educational video about hornbills, a family of birds that often have a large growth on the top of their beaks, and which often nest by walling the female up inside a hollow tree.

They actually let me include “More like *Casque* of Amontillado amirite??” in the final draft.

I learned so much about these weird little dudes editing the script for this video, written by the excellent @witheelabs.bsky.social! 🧪 #scicomm

The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'

The thing about Senators, and Representatives, and Justices, and many, many politicians, and pundits, too, is that they never have to live in the worlds their actions create. They don't even know anyone who does.

Paging @formalsorcery.bsky.social

Noteworthy, I think, that the Democratic establishment are putting much more effort into stopping Mamdani than stopping Trump

It does not seem like a super tenable state of affairs that people are disguising themselves as cops to commit political assassinations and simultaneously if you ask "real" law enforcement agent for identification/authority they wrestle you to the ground and arrest you.

so far this week:

DHS vows to not leave California till it is "liberated" from elected reps

Opposition leaders detained illegally

Opposition leaders indicted

Opposition leaders and families murdered to wrest control of a state

military parade with tanks through US capital

Red line here yet?

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.

Every day the authoritarianism grows worse - Christopher Rufo calling for the Trump administration to "dispatch unmarked vans to follow key agitators and snatch them from the streets while the media are not looking" christopherrufo.com/p/trump-shou...

Madleen update:

Greta Thunberg and Thiago Avila arrived at Ashdod port, after being kidnapped by Israel along with 10 activists including MEP Rima Hassan.

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

there are only two things that make us cities unsafe and difficult to live in: 1) cars; and 2) cops

both of which are structural pathologies forced upon cosmopolitan civilization by encircling enclaves of suburban barbarians
