HUGS!!!

Info panel showing a lass in a wheelchair about to get munched by a leviathan because she's too busy looking at a sperm whale.

God this is such a rookie error. Bluesky ALWAYS ALWAYS check there isn't a leviathan sneaking up behind you when you're booping a sperm whale

The Museum of Scotland using small children in size comparison info panels is absolutely sending me.

Men think they're doing their share of housework. They're not. The gender gap is taking a toll on women's mental health and is not showing signs of getting better.

related to the previous post.

"New research from the university suggests that women who carried the bulk of the housework load at age 25 still bear the same heavy burdens decades later as they move into middle age — and that "women's domestic workload only increased during the child-rearing years."

Why does he look like he’s having a poop and it’s stuck. Might it be because he’s full of ****?

Opinion | Red v. blue is too simplistic — America is mostly made up of purplish states Philip Bump: Election results in Texas and North Carolina have Democrats dreaming big about “turning” red states blue.

Today is a good day to remember that there are more of us (the ‘ruled’) than there are of them (the ‘rulers’). Watching the protests and their impact across the country reminds me that we have power to make change.

Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: From the Walls of Babylon to the Sewers of Rome You may not be able to name all, or even most, of the seven wonders of the ancient world. But you almost certainly know that there were seven of them. In a way, that aligns well enough with the worldv...

Isn't it wild that "the economy" as the human mind can comprehend it is just a series of words and numbers ostensibly totaling up to a reality, but in actuality being just an illusion that can be adjusted with "it's different than we thought"

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.

The Museum of Scotland uses people (especially small children) for size comparisons and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.

Happy snoozes for #AardvarkWeek 💤 Our sweet girl Tilli is off on a dreamland adventure, and yes, that little tongue is still hard at work! 💕 Even in her sleep, it looks like she’s slurping up imaginary termites.

Opinion | North Carolina's elections offer more hope that 2026 is the year of the progressive Katelyn Burns: Progressive candidates in the pivotal swing state walloped several centrist incumbents who collaborated with Republicans on culture war issues.

I wrote about them eating shit www.ms.now/opinion/nort...

Wow

Thank you :)

I can't remember the last time I watched a cabinet secretary eat so much shit during an oversight hearing as Noem has.

Just watched Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) tear into her for breaking laws constantly, referencing all the times DHS has violated court orders.

How many times? 210 times. In 2026.
