One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

Any Democrat who is not campaigning on ensuring Pete Hegseth and those following his orders are tried for capital murder is not worth voting for at this point.
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

The CDC's vaccine advisory panel, stocked with anti-vaccine activists and loyalists to RFK Jr., voted Friday to stop recommending a birth dose of vaccine.

An openly Nazi government that wishes the Axis powers had won World War II:
In its US national security strategy memo, the Trump administration claimed Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure.”
It said it will support “patriotic” far-right parties across Europe to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”

Apt comparison of gambling industry these days
It’s like the opioid epidemic was. It’s unfolding before our eyes, with the obvious catastrophic consequences plain to see, but there’s too much money being made for anyone in power to do the right thing yet.

I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman.
There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

gonna become the equivalent of a ludocentrist but for film. gonna start saying how lots of modern blockbuster movies have bad stories and they’ll never be as good as books, so film as a medium should abandon narrative and return to its roots: making audiences think a train is coming right at them

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

CNN did not include this fact in their story about AT&T ending diversity initiatives, but they should have. we should have to reckon with the fact that AT&T has chosen to do today what a neo-nazi organization tried to force them to do 40 years ago. the nazis don't even have to ask anymore.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I am begging reporters to heed @jessicacalarco.com's warning here. There is too much equivocation even in articles that highlight RFK Jr's anti-vaccine zealotry. These articles juxtapose a claim he offers, with "other experts say." It is a pernicious tic of mainstream journalism and has to stop.
It's notable that, even in an article critical of RFK Jr., the reporter hedges, saying "There’s no good evidence of serious, widespread harm from the vaccine" rather than just "vaccines are safe." RFK Jr. has made a career of exploiting the ambiguity of the former.

Our colorist on Infinity Train, when first given the gohm design, colored it various shades of dark gray so you could see all the shapes within it. I said no, make it as black as you can, so you can't really understand the shapes, because I was thinking of my memory of these guys from Willow on VHS

Huh, apparently the rights to Hi-Fi Rush are reverting to Krafton from Xbox. Obviously they're still pretty shitty (laying off people, hyping AI, and other scummy corporate behavior), but I think maybe that means that if you're participating in the Xbox boycott you can finally buy/stream it?

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

Lots of AFOLs whining about the new modular (nothing new there) but a new complaint that infuriates me is people saying it looks like it was designed by AI—not only a disservice to the complexity of the design but couldn't be more inaccurate given that AI-generated Lego ALWAYS looks fake as hell.
