Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Thinking about the two most recent novels in a thriller series I enjoy where "the world's first trillionaire" is the explicit bad guy.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

In South Africa we kept the name but make no mistake, the Apartheid state with the orange white and blue flag, founded on white supremacy, was *disolved and replaced* with a new democratic state founded on equal rights. The apartheid state had no “right to exist” and was eliminated.
Brilliant answer 👏

like abortion, divorce is beautiful

like abortion, every divorce is an exercise in autonomy that triumphs over obsolete constraints on human freedom and dignity

all human relations should be consensual and a necessary condition for that is actionable exit and unilateral dissolution
A very specific niche grievance I have is getting yelled at by people many years for arguing that framing divorce as a societal failing instead of a hard-won human right was profoundly antithetical to liberalism.
hopefully stays that way

almost the entire republican Party openly expressed wanting to end no fault divorce. It might have even been in their party platform last year i know its on a bunch of state party platforms

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖
