Surely there's a mode between spasm and soaking. And before you say it: No, it's not spacking. Unless that's your deal. We're all students here at BYU trying to find our way. You're sure the RA doesn't come by on Sundays?
Wild new story from @natlash.bsky.social
Bird flu has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted, instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade. www.propublica.org/article/bird...
Extremely fucked up that in the same minute that I learned the cinematographer for Cool As Ice shot Schindler's List that I also found out Art Spiegelman is good with AI art. Internet: We only have the absolute highs mixed with their counterpart lows.
I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.
Happy National Apple Day!
Speaking of apples, the most brutal Irish curse I’ve ever come across is go ndéana an diabhal dréimire de chnámh do dhroma is é ag piocadh úll i ngairdín Ifrinn. It means “may the Devil make a ladder of your backbone while he picks apples in the garden of Hell.”
Campaign spending from GEO Group and CoreCivic, the 2 main private prison/ICE detention companies, suggest they've mostly given up on the House and are trying to save the Senate for the GOP.

American chestnuts were a staple for 1,000s of years before imported blight fungus decimated them. The American Chestnut Foundation has been harvesting nuts from this orchard for more than a decade, with many remaining resistant enough to survive. A data center could be what finally takes them out.
Cishet white guy who can conclusively say that this is completely true. Trans rights or else, as Jenny Tightpants might say. If you're opposed to someone's civil rights you, and anyone endorsing you, has lost my vote. And I'm guessing that's widely across the electorate.
what cis liberals need to understand is that us trans people dont exist in isolation. when you throw us under the bus in order to get the mythical moderate voter to vote blue, you aren't just depressing the trans vote, you are also depressing the votes of all the people who care about us too
Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state.

😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his WhatsApp channel…” 1/
The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now.
Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing.
Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.
Crazy that this professional sport that employs exactly zero trans athletes had a fake outrage about all their trans athletes. It's almost like everyone opposing trans rights is just a massive shitheel looking for IRL clicks or some shit.
Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs
Randomly selected JASON KING episode, 'The Stones of Venice' turns out to be 'ripped from today's headlines' - Jason discovers he's won an award for a novel he didn't write. The book was written by a computer, using pages input from his previous novels. #PeterWyngarde#AnnaGael
This one doesn't even make any fucking sense. Unless, of course, all of these laws "protecting girls' sports" are actually intended to disenfranchise a minority population specifically and women broadly speaking.
A girl won the role of Seymour in South Grand Prairie High School in Texas.
Then, the district freaked out because of Texas' anti-trans and anti-gay law.
So they tried to strip her role and give it to a boy.
She refused, so now they are cancelling the play.

Trump’s new White House Press Secretary says she passed the Bar Exam in China. China doesn’t let foreigners take their Bar Exam. Either she’s lying about being licensed or she’s a Chinese National.
What I'm taking away from this is that David Brooks thinks Nazis are cool and wishes they'd won World War II. Sure, that's hyperbolic conjecture but if he doesn't refute this? Well, I guess he's clued us in to his real beliefs, hasn't he?
Next, Tatsuya Oohashi. Yes, you, you bastard. Don't give me your flippant shit — coming in late on the day we ship the ROM like nothing's amiss. You can give me all the porn you want; I'm not forgetting that one.
