Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense.
Thanks
Thanks

My fists are named #1 and #2 because first they’re gonna piss you off, then they’re gonna pound the 💩 out of you
I've named my fists Hall and Oates because whoa-oh here they come, watch out boy, they'll chew you up
I named my fists Pride and Prejudice, because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of two fists must be in want of whupping ass

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

A clarity of thought seemed pervasive through the crowd, not from training together or even knowing each other. I think it was having a shared goal that is inherently disruptive (block ICE) that made the steps to that end collectively understood and embraced.

It doesn’t hurt that there were massive dumpsters full of stuff for protestors to play with but the consideration to grab things at all - those instincts were like the guiding light of god shining down on people. It wasn’t chaos for the sake of it. It was tactical, strategic, intentional.

People refused to go easily with any order. You want us to move back? You’ll have to make us. Even the tiniest thing, like adjusting a barricade to latch into another one, was met with enthusiastic resistance. Cop pushing a barricade into people? Barricade gets pulled away from him.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

This is the Sunburst Candy Spider from Thailand. Not AI (sucks to have to declare this). Very real and had been on my wish list for a long time.
The taxonomic placement is unclear, so we are leaving it at Cyrtarachninae.
