This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again.
This is a GOOSEFISH.
This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark.
It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one.

It costs the average taxpayer $34 a year to fund SNAP.
It costs nearly $200 a day to detain an immigrant in an ICE camp.
Your tax dollars are paying to detain people without due process instead of providing healthcare, food & housing.
Let that radicalize you.

8) Quranic vocalised manuscripts using the coloured dot system, I think, is the only script in the world where the colour of the ink is actually important for phonetic distinctions.

"There are so many stupid monsters in D&D...who would fall for that?"
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Look anywhere else. Hiring a necromancer to resurrect an accountant from 1902 is a better choice.

[only partly rhetorical] Why do people fucking line up to spend billions and tens of billions of dollars on nuclear? For $10 billion you could get either 1/3 of Vogtle 3 and 4*, or you could get an entire new geothermal industry.

A Pep Guardiola quote has been knocking around in my brain recently. On its face it applies only to futbol, but it feels like something we could all put to use at this moment in history, when our actions count for so much. "We do not pass to move the ball. We pass to move the opposition."

I've just posted this news, but to reiterate: we know people will die pretty horrible deaths because of this decision. Wholly preventable ones. Costly ones for an already resource-stretched medical system.
RFK Jr. and his allies are killing US kids in front of our eyes. Backed by Trump and the GOP.

Summary of what happened at Temu ACIP this morning:
As expected, they overturned the 30+ year recommendation for the birth dose of HepB vaccine, which has reduced the incidence of pediatric HepB by 99%.
They provided no credible evidence to support this decision.

Rick Scott on the GOP healthcare plan: "We do food stamps that way. We don't give the money to a grocery store. Let's not give it to an insurance company. Then grocery store says, 'Oh, here's what I'm gonna give you. You're gonna get a lot more broccoli this week.' No. Let's give it to the family"
