Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

Type written text that reads “Connie Sneezer. He can't bear to see the others getting ‘taken’ unless he gets in on it too. So he just sauntered up this time and planked himself down, and said clearly, ‘Now take me, please’”

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️
A massive blaze has erupted close to Glasgow Central Station following a explosion at a vape store on Union Street, Glasgow, Scotland.
Drone footage captures the devastating destruction to the building right next to Glasgow's historic Central Station. Part of it has collapsed after a fire started in a vape shop and ripped through the whole structure.

The desalination plant is seen next to the coastline of Qeshm Is.
For context, Tthe US has bombed the desalination plant on Qeshm Island, Iran, disrupting water supply to 30 towns.
These plants are protected under international law, specifically the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit targeting infrastructure indispensable to the survival of civilian populations.
The skyline of Tehran has a small shaft of light to the west. But the rest is darkness, shrouded in black cloud from burning oil depots and refineries
Daybreak brings only more night in Tehran. A city blackened by burning oil.
Hospitals, schools, aid centres, freshwater desalination plants and now fuel storage depots.
These are all the sites you would target if your wish was to perpetuate a genocide.

NEW: Watch this report just in from CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. It is raining oil in Tehran this morning.
A city of 10 million is being actively poisoned.

The burning oil refinery in Tehran tonight.
This ancient city of 10 million people is being annihilated by the US and Israel.
(🎥 BBC Verify)
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

You know you have the best gal pals when one of them will carry you on her back like she carries the weight of her invisible labour: effortlessly, and while dicking about playing a stupid game.

Damn Harrison Ford should get an Actors Award for Best Actors Award speech
unfortunately I lost it at this extremely stupid New Yorker cartoon
Black and white photo of four kittens spilling out of a basket that seems to be partially full of sticks or vines or something. They’re all short haired, and there is a black haired tuxedo, two tabbies, and what looks like a white and calico. Two of them look remarkably grumpy, and the other two seemed kind of blank and possibly confused.
Historians agree that the real Pandora’s Box was likely a basket of grumpy kittens. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1904.

Remember how I said, just a few hours ago, in response to critics insisting I should support the war in Iran because it will help Iranians, that in fact Donald Trump plans to pick the new leader of Iran and Iranians will have no say in it?
Me of several hours ago, meet just now:
NEW: I and colleagues reviewed 15,000 documents to illuminate how Jeffrey Epstein used VIP doctors to control and manipulate young women* — and how the doctors helped him, treating his needs as more important than the patients'. Gift link.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

An enormous meerschaum pipe with a seal balancing a ball on its nose.
At an antique flea market. This is certainly one hell of a pipe.
No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.
oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

This lawsuit seems appalling to me, honestly. I feel for people whose student experience was lousy due to Covid but that's not the fault of universities. "I wanted in-person study." I'm sure you did. Nobody gets what they want in a global pandemic
A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.
LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”
In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted
DOJ keeps lying and losing:
What does it profit a man to have billions of dollars if he has no one to, lovingly, tell him to shut the fuck up
A story that I've read four times now and every time it ends up in my feed my brain goes 'have I read this one right?'
He dances in a way I have only seen horses dance. He possesses a power and majesty we will never know.
