A Venn diagram with Fullmetal Alchemist, Mean Girls, and Dracula in three circles. Overlap between Fullmetal Alchemist and Mean Girls: What day is it? Overlap between Fullmetal Alchemist and Dracula: Pain and suffering. Overlap between Mean Girls and Dracula: Diaries. Overlap between all three: October 3rd.

These notifs keep cracking me up.

My dude, one of my antecedents was a co-founder of one of the 13 colonies. I am 100% Apple Pie. Are you claiming I’ve a phobia of myself and my own family? Or are you implying I’ve a phobia of people in North/Central/South America? Why? Like, what nonsense is this?

Soon after, aides told the president the Journal was preparing to report that in 2003, a letter bearing Trump’s name—containing typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman—had been included in a book of letters prepared for Epstein’s birthday. Traveling back to Washington aboard Air Force One, Trump told his communications aides that such a letter didn’t exist, that he would never write such a letter, and that he would try to kill the story himself. From the plane, he called Rupert Murdoch, chair emeritus of News Corp, the parent company of the Journal’s publisher, and told him the story wasn’t true and that he should handle it, according to a person familiar with the brief call. After the article’s publication, Trump sued Journal publisher Dow Jones, parent company News Corp and several individuals including Murdoch for defamation, calling the letter “nonexistent.” (This week the defendants moved to dismiss Trump’s lawsuit.) A spokesman for News Corp declined to comment.

Who’s to say Puerto Rico wants to remain with the USA if given the choice? There is a significant portion of the populace of PR who’d choose independence over statehood.

Meanwhile, the residents of DC have desired (and deserved) statehood for generations.

The truth is, Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) ocean protectors have been doing this work for generations. They’ve done it with fewer followers, without sponsorships or stunts, and without turning our aumākua into content or cash. Our true Kahu Manō (shark whisperers) may never get a documentary deal or millions of views, but they carry the knowledge that sustains life in our waters and our communities. They are who we turn to. They are who we trust. Netflix had the opportunity to center their voices. Instead, it followed a formula weʻve seen many times before.  In “The White Helmets”, Western filmmakers crafted a humanitarian narrative in Syria that largely erased local organizing and failed to contextualize the complex geopolitical forces involved. In “The Rescue”, Thai cave divers were spotlighted over the Indigenous local volunteers who led much of the initial effort. And in “The Ivory Game”, African anti-poaching leaders were overshadowed by European conservationists with camera crews and sponsorships. These films may have had good intentions, but they reflect a pattern: the white outsider as savior, the local or Indigenous people as backdrop or obstacle. This kind of framing doesn’t just distort the truth, it disempowers communities. It reinforces a system in which those closest to the harm are furthest from the platform, and those furthest from the culture are handed the microphone.

After noticing that Gaby is, in fact, over the ball, not on it, my eye immediately paired this headline and Rowling’s head:
Headline to the left: “Uphill battle for assisted dying bill to become law” Photo to the right: an extremely smug-looking Rowling staring out into the distance at something she enjoys with hate in her mould-filled heart—presumably the suffering trans kids—whilst wearing a pale-blue serving platter of a hat on her head that appears to have kale dyed the same color on the top and bottom around the crown, as if Willy Wonka had an Oompa Loompa dump his salad over her then throw bits of it at her head. The hat matches the shrug and sleeveless dress she’s wearing.

This person’s behavior when dealing with this particular species was ridiculous. Maybe don’t be a completely thoughtless ass in natural habitats just for the shot?
(Alt text here; go into the post to find the link to the article in the first post.)
While the group was walking, a Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) perched on a horizontal branch about 6 m above the group of tourists and began to observe them (Figure 1A,B). The guide said that a raptor of this species had already been seen several times on this path in recent weeks. In addition, a dead primate, possibly killed by this Harpy Eagle, had been found in the same area a few days earlier—a fact that was unknown to the tourist group by this point. The group was noisy, chatting and laughing while observing the bird, which seemed curious, deducing from the expanded facial disc directed into people sound sources. One of the people in the group, a 29-year-old woman, slightly built, measuring 170 cm in height and weighing 52 kg, walked back and forth along the path to make the bird change position so she could take better photos. After a long stop, the group gradually resumed their journey leaving the woman and her partner alone, after which they also started to leave. The bird then suddenly took off and swooped down on the young woman, who turned around and curled up in a ball, her head near her lap and her hands over her face. The bird of prey gripped at the back of her skull. The woman screamed in pain, and then fell silent, while the bird remained clinging to her head, albeit unstable, keeping its wings spread, its body leaning forward, its beak close to the ground. Her partner then tried to free the bird with his hands to no avail. He then slammed the eagle's head to the ground with his shoe, pressing down on its neck to immobilize it. The bird then suddenly released its hold, allowing the young woman to free herself and run away. The Harpy Eagle immediately took off again, seeming uninjured. It was seen a few minutes later and heard calling for quite a long time, although no vocalization had been heard either before or during the attack. No further attacks were reported in the following months.

Rolling Stone published a horrifying story over the weekend, interviewing the friends and loved ones of people who appear to be having genuine mental health crises thanks to ChatGPT. As Rolling Stone noted, redditors have started calling it [from the quote to the end of the paragraph is highlighted in orange] “ChatGPT induced psychosis,” and one user in the comment section who has schizophrenia warned that the AI chat bot, as it currently functions, would happily cheerlead a user through a psychotic episode because its only off switch has to come from the user themselves. And that’s a feature, not a bug.

Screenshot of a quoted blocked post, which only shows a thin grey line around a white whatever a rectangle with rounded corners is called with the word “Blocked” in black sans serif aligned to the left of its center, a little black and white info logo (circle with a lowercase serif I in the middle) to the left of the word. Clean. Pure. No damage to psyche done. Use the block button liberally, mes amis.

Meme in the embroidered style of the Bayeux Tapestry. In the lower left corner is an embroidery of a building with birds perched on the peaks of the roof and four people standing in front. Fourth person from the left gestures to the large blank space of aged linen to the right of the building, birds, and people. Embroidered text in the large blank space reads, “Behold! The field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and thou shalt see that it is barren.”

“It’s really hurtful for the president to insinuate that you don’t exist or that your job consisted of sitting at home doing nothing and cashing the paycheck,” he says. “I’d like to see him sifting through spiny naiad in 120-degree weather looking for parasitic snails. He’s the one that goes golfing on the government dime. I don’t even know how to golf.”

Shane Madej taps his left forefinger emphatically on the map covering the table in front of him as he says, “All! Rich! People! Are! Murderers!” Ryan Bergara blinks and turns his head to the left to smile awkwardly at his colleague. Ryan’s expression is somewhat reminiscent of Mike Myers’s expression in 2005 as Kanye West reminded the TV viewing audience that George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.

Reported and blocked. I wish I could do more.

Here’s a picture of my fluffy cat, in case cat pictures provide comfort.
Close up photo of a tortie-point Balinese cat curled up sleeping on a white blanket, her dark, parti-colored paws stretched out in front of her, her dark fluffy tail arranged over her legs and just under her dark nose with butterscotch patches on either side, her pale coat only slightly darker than the blanket. She’s perfect.
