there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Young Woman Being Harassed by a Man
This is Judith Leyster's amazing 1631 painting ‘Young Woman Being Harassed by a Man’.
She was well known in her day but SURPRISE! her works were later misattributed either to Frans Hals, her local contemporary, or her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer.

The picture shows a needle made of bone, it resembles its modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.
Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures!
This sewing needle was made from animal bone some 13,000 years ago.
Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start

From 1990, Igor Majstrovsky’s movie poster for the first official release of 1977’s Star Wars in the USSR.
Is that Darth Vader? I assume it is, and very splendidly evil he looks too.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter
Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.
Add two children to the picture and it could be my family standing in front of the house we had when I was in grade school. My dad was a minister and didn’t have a large salary, but he had a good pension and saved enough so that my 96-year-old mother is still being supported by what he left to her.
Thank you @yaeleisenstat.bsky.social.
Ghoul.
Interesting. I was taught to use pencil in making notes in my lab notebook because ink ran over time and became illegible. Have I been doing this wrong for 50 years? (Believe me, no one will care about my notebooks in 10 years, let alone 250).
Compare the response of Rob Reiner to the assassination of Charlie Kirk to Donald Trump’s response to the Reiners’ murder posted on Truth Social. Then decide which person you choose to admire and emulate. The contrast couldn’t be clearer or more stark.
Even as a child I couldn’t stand any of the Christmas specials except the two you praised and one other: Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol. I think I liked the songs and campiness of that one.
A fired public-health official, a mosquito breeder and a baby with a smile seen around the world. These are just a few of the remarkable people chosen for Nature’s 10 2025

Thank you @sarahbca.bsky.socia
Sarah nails it with her post
Enough !! The spineless Whitehouse pool reporters
As Sarah truthfully says
"AS CULPABLE AS TRUMP "
SHAME ON YOU
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
Totally relate, except the stash is not the worst of it, and I’m currently losing the war.
Born #OnThisDay in 1914 was actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. As well as acting in 30 films, during the Second World War she co-developed a frequency-hopping guidance system for American torpedoes, the principles of which are used in Bluetooth and WiFi technologies today. #WomenInSTEM
If these donors are so keen to support federal programs, let them pay more taxes. The vigor with which they avoid taxes while making huge donations reveals their true motives.
