Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday…but not for the reasons we generally remember.

this is a deeply unsettling fact to have learned at 1am
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.
2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.
The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.
They're *all* muscle.

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

This is what oligarchy looks like:
Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.
Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.
That’s a pretty good return on investment.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Unsure how many times I have to repeat it, but health care shouldn’t be for-profit.
Drug Rehabs Lure In Patients for Insurance Money—Then Leave Them on the Street
Drug Rehabs Lure In Patients for Insurance Money—Then Leave Them on the Street
Operators promise high-end treatment, help addicts sign up for insurance then pile on charges for little in return, say former patients and insurers.

Had dinner tonight with a friend who’s a middle school teacher in the southwest. They told me schools now have trainings for when ICE agents sweep through schools to take children, and it’s worse than active shooter trainings, because it’s the government kidnapping children.
This is where we are.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state.
You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread.

Michigan Lawmakers Are Attempting to Ban Porn Entirely
The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" proposes a total ban on porn in the state, and also targets the existence of trans people online, content like erotic ASMR, and selling VPNs in the state.

This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis

This is Dallas. She was spotted in a field with a cheese ball jar stuck on her head. After a two-day search effort, Dallas was found and treated for dehydration and ticks before going to a foster home to recover. And yes, the cheese ball company is covering her vet bills. 14/10 for all

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

A hugely underdiscussed effect of the creeping fascism of ICE is that debt collectors and landlords are filing more cases against immigrants, even when they're inflated or outright falsified, because they know immigrants are too fearful of deportation to show up to court to fight them.

If I’m honest with myself, this is my favorite thing to ever happen in science. Sure I should say any number of medical advancements, but in my heart, it’s the ice cream result.
scientists consistently found that consumption of ice cream led to reduced risk for t2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
They didn't want to believe this and buried the data in favor of yogurt when they published. Multiple scientists have tried to disprove the data since & it backfired every time.

A thing that consistently happens in Western science is that results that don't fit normative prejudices get ignored or explained away
It's important to have a diverse group of analysts to minimize blind spots
