Comic.[A gantry straddles the intersection of two tectonic plates, one under water and the other on a mountain. A tether connected to a winch on the gantry making a “click click click” sound is connected to the oceanic crust and is pulling it up, causing it to fold. Two people are standing on the fold next to the hook, looking down toward the space between the subducted crust where a shining object sits.] [caption] PSA: Please stay out of the Pacific Ocean today. Someone lost their wedding ring in a subduction zone and USGS is pulling the plate back up to retrieve it.

“A few days ago, sunspot 4366 didn't exist. Now it is a behemoth almost half the size of the great Carrington sunspot. Rapid growth is making the sunspot unstable. It has unleashed dozens of solar flares in past 24 hours, including a powerful X8-class flare” www.spaceweather.com

BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders.

“The court’s patience is at an end.”

Ministr zahraničních věcí Petr Macinka se už delší dobu snaží ovlivnit můj postoj ke jmenování navrženého člena vlády. Ať už komunikací se mnou, mými spolupracovníky nebo poradci. Zatím jsem všechny tyto pokusy posuzoval shovívavě.

Nyní mi ale v nočních hodinách doručil 🔗↗️… […]

"i serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward" is the kind of phrase that would be slightly cringe online and is incredibly badass when being stated by a man surrounded by armed men threatening to murder him

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Great piece:

Screenshot of a substack post from user The Old Grey Thinker:

"My insurance premium doubled because I refused to install their monitoring app.

'It's for your safety,' the agent explained.

Translation: privacy now costs £400 annually.

At 67, I'm watching refusal of surveillance being reframed as reckless behaviour deserving financial penalty.

Apparently autonomy is now classified as a pre-existing condition."

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

What a nice day today!

I got the perfect gift for the Solstice from my housemate - a T-shirt that says: "Fuck you, Putin, Trump, and other cowardly pricks. Glory to the heroes." Money from buying it are used to purchase weapons for Ukrainian soldiers. #AzirafalTheDog agrees. #SlavaUkraini

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
