I don’t mind spiders that much, so I find this totally cool! 🕷️🕸️
New nightmare fuel just dropped.

A gigantic spiderweb was recently discovered in an underwater cave on the Greece-Albania border.

The web spans about 1,000 square feet and houses more than 110,000 spiders.

TBH, the underwater cave feels like overkill.

What a great reminder. Start cleaning!
Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

I never post long threads like this, but it’s the most terrifying thing I’ve read in a long time. I hope you can get thru it. Thx to Jenny Cohn for being on top of this.
In my dictionary, the phrases "post-liberal" and
"no enemies to the right" and "neo-reactionary" and "alt-right" are merely euphemisms for "fascist" and "authoritarian."
🔥 A former president & a former chairman of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) resigned from ISI’s board on Friday. One of them posted this warning that “conservative institutions are being systematically…undermined by post-liberals who promote a ‘no enemies to the right’ mindset.” 1/

You know what to do!!! Get on your phone NOW and call your senator. Tell them NOT TO CAVE!!!!
🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

*A correction:* I'd posted about 2 school boards in Bucks that were key conservative takeovers in 2021. I wrote Dems not only now ran both boards, but that they'd ousted every GOPer on both boards.

That was an error. GOP did win one seat on Pennridge.

So 8-1 D there. 9-0 Dem in Central Bucks.

The cherry on yesterday’s sundae. 🍒
Really good news, via Daniel Nichanian:

Bucks County, #Pennsylvania, was ground 0 for conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on Central Bucks & Pennridge boards. Dems flipped both boards back in 2023. Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Repubs from both school boards

Wow! You do not need to be a dev to understand this article. Super scary. I wouldn’t connect any smart devices in my home to WiFi.
An Indian programmer discovered his Chinese vacuum cleaner was secretly sending 3D maps of his home to overseas servers.

When he painstakingly managed to block it, the device went dead in an instant.

Everything’s turning into surveillance tech.

A very long but thoughtful and informative thread. Support unions!!!!
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

I thought I’d start everyone’s day with good news for a change. 😀
Russia isn't just losing the war, it's also losing the cyber war too.

Putin has now lost an entire bot farm worth $1 million dollars, it has been hacked and taken over by the Cyber Legion army. It's the first of many more to come. A long winter is coming. #opRussia ⛈️

Trump said his MRI was “perfect” which is a strange result for someone who looks like a pile of hospital laundry recovered from a flood

The New York Times editorial board thinks Democrats should “move to the center.”

Where the hell is the center between democracy and fascism?
