Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

I watched one of my adult male #dairycow #isopods named #SixSide climb over a small juvenile, roll himself over onto his back while holding on to the little one, then rolling & spinning the upside down young'un as if he were bicycle juggling a beach ball. Can't find this #behaviour noted elsewhere.

For folks catching up, the reason the second indictment weirdly wasn't in the grand jury transcript, which confused the magistrate judge, is THEY NEVER PRESENTED IT TO THE GRAND JURY.
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

I can see the UK falling down the same fascist shit hole that America has.
Farage: We’re going to round up anyone that we think isn’t ethnically pure and put them into camps.
UK voters: He doesn’t really mean that and at least he’s not Starmer.

“Marketed for kids 3-12, Kumma gave step-by-step instructions on a common “knot for beginners” who want to tie up their partner. Another time, the AI explored the idea of introducing spanking into a sexually-charged teacher-student dynamic, which is obviously ghoulishly inappropriate for young kids”

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

Recently visited the Glass Flowers at Harvard, a collection of 4,300 extraordinarily realistic glass models of plants crafted by the Blaschkas, a father and son team of sculptors
That’s right, these are all made primarily of GLASS — a fact difficult to accept given how accurate & lifelike they are
