a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
It is, and it is HUGE.
A picture of the massive Alphonse Mucha's Le Pater coffee table book, with gilt lettering and ornamentation.
In "well, didn't expect that to make me tear up"... I've been a fan of Mucha's work for years (and was fortunate enough to see his Slavic history series in person in Prague), and some of the quotes in here hit right where they needed to. This book is huge, beautiful, and a love letter to the artist.
A bay horse and a black horse nuzzling over a fence.
Two beloved, cantankerous, intense warhorses who have earned all the love and cookies in the world.
A massive scandal.
Kash Patel and Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the murders of American citizens to cover up Trump administration culpability.
1. Not news.
2. Lots of people know this and still use Substack.
Holding their noses and closing their eyes, no doubt.
It's probably not nice to laugh when your partner messages you that he just woke up because the youngest dog was snuggled up to him and farted. But I've been suffering all evening, so.
This man could probably sleep through a tornado, if that tells you how bad Magni has been today.
I was supposed to do a bunch of stuff to help my horse be more mentally prepared, but the weather and my injury means that hasn't happened either.
He's an anxious, hot-headed ex-racehorse, but he's also a Standardbred, but the vet calls him "the spookiest Standie" so this is gonna be exciting.
I just paid today for a riding clinic next month and it has ramped my anxiety about that clinic to 11.
I was vastly underprepared BEFORE I spent a month and a half of prep time benched with a broken leg.
Don't mind the high-pitched screaming from my side...
Oh, they're terrible movies, which makes it even more impressive that I hated this one so much.
I could see it being manageable on a plane.
Okay, so I ended up skipping through and watched maybe 30 minutes total and still feel like I wasted too much time on it.
So, *so* bad, and this from someone who actually does enjoy the modern versions of the franchise
Jeff Goldblum saying Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could... They didn't stop to think if they should.
This quote has never seemed more contextually appropriate. :)
God, mood.
There's not enough people-eating in this one, and people are getting way more screen time than the dinosaurs.
... Not a phrase I thought I'd say, but this dinosaur romance scene was creepy enough before Mr. Generic Science Hero started touching them and crying.
Like, hilariously bad. The writing is ham-fisted, the dialog is awkward, the editing is like driving down a road filled with potholes, and the plot decisions are genuinely unbelievable even when you dangle your disbelief 12 stories up by the throat.
Jurassic Park Rebirth is egregiously, hilariously bad.
"Why are you doing that?"
"Helps keep him awake."
"You know what else would keep him awake? Electricity!"
"Oooo."
"No, don't do that, please!"
"So what you do, is you get a cattle prod..."
(Done by the Jeff Havens company, feels kind of like a Better Off Ted episode. It doesn't take itself seriously and has some good low-key physical comedy.)
I generally find it awkward when generic workplace training tries to be cute, but our workplace safety training is actually making me laugh regularly.
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are coming home, still squinting from the cold winter air, with snow piled on top of both of them. Narration: Steps of coming in from the snow: Still wearing a snow pile, Green watches as Blue closes his eyes, waiting for his body heat to simply melt the snow off himself, with rivulets of snowmelt running down his body, collecting into a puddle beneath him. Narration: 1: Melt off the snow Green, who still has snow piled on him, watches on as Blue radiates heat, causing the snowmelt on and around him to evaporate. Narration: 2: Steam dry Green, still covered in clumps of snow, chases after Blue, who is doing his best to get away from him. Narration: 3: Run for your life Blue: Don't touch me, you wet goblin! Green: But you're warm!
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at Green over his shoulder as Green looks at a tiny cut on his tail. Green: Oh huh, a tiny cut. Blue: Let me get the wound spray. Green begins to lick the tiny cut, while Blue looks shocked. Green: Nah, it's fine. Blue: Don't lick it!! Blue frowns at Green as Green looks up from the cut. Green: Your own saliva is actually better for your wounds than someone else's. Blue: That doesn't make it good for you! As Blue leaves to get the wound spray, Green calmly continues to lick the wound. Blue: You stop that! I can hear you!
Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.
Facts that bear repeating.
that site, stopice[.]net, is real fucking iffy.
looks like it was written by saving the html source of a different site and hastily editing it.
whoever made it, not a real developer, maybe linked to affiliate marketing. making really dumb claims that the hack was done by the government.
Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
