Guess it pays to be clad in feathers instead of jeans?😺

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
North American bird populations are not only declining, but they’re also shrinking faster with each passing year—particularly in regions shaped by intensive agriculture, according to a new study in Science. scim.ag/4clAUaN

Plus tater tots were invented by Ore-Ida. Once upon a time I recall going past their plant and the reek was...in the cheese factory ballpark. Not quite sewage, but stinky.
This awful person is being primaried by @daniwelch.bsky.social - please check out her campaign and donate to support it.
how can this be so hard? He is a vile racist fascist, a thundering dolt...and he's enormously unpopular! Just oppose him, you quisling motherfuckers!
Juliana Stratton gets it. If you are asked what you agree with Trump on, just answers (as she did), " I am not going to the United States Senate to find something to agree with Donald Trump on." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/juliana-st...

This was completely unnecessary. It did not have to happen. Everything that has happened since February 28th did not have to happen
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Gross ugly cover of Stephen Grossberg's book Consious Mind, Resonant Brain: How Each Brain Makes a Mind. A dark gray brain against a retina-frying teal and orange grid.
Arg. Do I have to re-read this? I think I only staggered halfway through on the first pass. 💀

All evidence at present points to the school's inclusion as a target in the US strike on the navy base next to the school being what killed the 168 students and 14 teachers, but Hegseth wants to argue otherwise www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/m...
The vibe is definitely different among the rank and file than at any point I can remember. The question is how long it takes for that to filter up to a profoundly risk averse class of elected officials
This sank in deep when I first read it.
"They think they want good government and justice for all, Vimes, yet what is it they really crave, deep in their hearts? Only that things go on as normal and tomorrow is pretty much like today."
Terry Pratchett novel, "Feet of Clay"
Absolutely chilling story
Religious believe in souls at death go to an other wordly afterlife or reincarnation, atheists lean toward brain snapshots being uploaded to a computer. Same dif?😺
The Aurora Tree: Pictured is a visual coincidence between the dark branches of a nearby tree and bright glow of a distant aurora. The beauty of the aurora—combined with how it seemed to mimic a tree right nearby—mesmerized the photographer to such a degree that he momentarily forgot to take pictures
A grand strategy of laying waste to other countries to make ourselves feel strong, to revel in the fear and pain of others, is immoral, will be counter productive long term, violates fundamental American values. It sure ain't what I signed up to teach.
Black puddles by a gate
Now imagine people’s lungs.
Black rain has fallen over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities, coating streets and rooftops in dark, oily water. “The rain is actually apparently saturated with oil,” CNN reports.
Look, we joke about Trump being the antichrist but if you told somebody two thousand years ago an evil king would cause black rain that sickens the people to fall upon Persia, everyone would instantly grasp there’s some kind of demon sorcery afoot.

Yeah. I really hate this feeling of watching a slow-moving trainwreck that ought to be totally avoidable.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
