Let's hear it for the protester who remembered Shut The Fuck Up Friday:

"Once in custody, Korol declined to waive her Miranda rights and speak with any federal officers before she had a lawyer." www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Band member accused of interfering with arrest of another during Portland ICE protest, feds allege

"Who’s assaulting who is the real question?” said Oriana Korol's dad. “She was on the sidewalk playing music when the federal officers just bumrushed the band.”

The best part is if you try to take the house back, they will swear vengeance on you, hunt you down, and murder you.

Polar Bears are one of the only carnivores who hunt for sport, the petty, petty beasties.

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions.

When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

Someone asked what happened to the casual Nazi at the end of WWII. The people who supported the Party

The answer? Suicides and murders. If they weren’t beaten to death or shot in the streets, they killed themselves

There’s a book called Promise Me You’ll Shoot Yourself by Florian Huber about it.

The mass suicides by ordinary citizens in the last days of Nazi Germany
Historian Florian Huber's book examines how civilians took their own lives in greater numbers than military and government officials as the Third Reich collapsed
Soviet Army officers observe the bodies of women who committed
suicide in a Vienna park at the end of World War II.

And not a single mention in the Times about Michael Ellis installing himself as CIA general counsel. Fascinating.

I'm going with Pavi Largo from Repo: A Genetic Opera.

by a macabre industry, and

From "The Double Tax" by @itsafronomics.bsky.social: "....perms marketed for Black women are associated with a 50% increased risk of uterine cancer."

I thought I knew a lot about the tax women and even Black women pay, but I feel like I'm learning something new with every page.

This week in healthcare: The vet will see our pup same day when he's sick; the doctor can't see our actual child for another two *months*. Considering putting kid in a dog costume and seeing how it goes, besides accidentally seeding a moral panic.
