Show me 4 pictures in your phone that have your energy that aren't selfies.

It really is! If you're in the US, we generally only have a 1-2 day supply, and of the 35% of people eligible to donate, only around 2% do. You're saving lives!

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

My favorite Godzilla appearances are when they just kinda find him in places while he's taking a nap.

100% agree. They asked me what I was doing making so many slide decks to begin with and wow I had to sit with that for awhile.

TIL that some of my colleagues have never made a slide deck in their lives and I just...I just want to know what that feels like.

This is true for students too. Yes there are many factors impacting student reading, but working 30+ hours a week to be able to afford college is definitely one of them.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I know there are reasons why Mastodon/the Fediverse is built to avoid a lot of what we’re seeing now on here but I finally ended up at Bluesky and not there because it had the *shitposting juice* gdi and I am selfishly very annoyed that it seems to be going to hell

Today is also the feast of Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order. Here is a graphic novel version of the founding of the order from a copy of Guigo's Consuetudines cartusienses printed in Basel in 1510. #medievalsky #earlyprinting #bookhistory 🧵
