(And yes, I know the common name palmetto bug is supposed to refer the the Florida wood roach and not the American cockroach, but when I first I encountered American roaches this is what locals called em πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ)

((google it if you want to see how big a roach they are, I’m not cursing the feed with it))

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

If you have any love for the Party Parrot emoji, know that originated from a video of a Kākāpō. So let's collectively send party parrot vibes to New Zealand in hope that this batch of chicks helps the species.

Talarico defeats Crockett in Texas Democratic Senate primary The Austin Democrat’s win comes after a bitter primary that focused on which candidate’s political and electoral strategy would get the party’s first statewide victory in over 30 years.

In a statement Wednesday morning, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she had called state Rep. James Talarico to congratulate him on winning the nomination, and she suggested she would remain involved to boost the party in November.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

As a fellow 90s kid who became an early 2000s Marine Bio major it was hilarious how much weeding out of Dolphin Girlies the university had to do because most of them weren't actually interested in what it takes to get a BS in Marine Bio

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

Voters, being citizens, ought to exercise their citizenship with responsibility. Voters, being people, ought to do right by other people. That is obligation enough.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change
