The Teaches of Sneetches

its been genuinely so funny that the two massive “scandals” for james talarico so far is that he follows a few onlyfans girls on socials, and that he respects trans people. sounds like a normal guy to me

they would also be a great pippin & merry

they would make the best ringwraiths

this is an event i would astrally project for

we're very lucky that Jordan Harper and S.A. Cosby, two of the best crime writers going, are also good buddies who do a lot of joint events, which is a bit like James Ellroy and Walter Mosley going on tour together

A teacher asked students to draw a square with 3 lines. How the kids approached it was fascinating. It's like the opposite of "thinking outside the box."

Screenshot from Avichay Adraee's official Telegram channel showing two maps of neighborhoods in Sour and Saida, Lebanon, with red circles depicting a 300m radius drawn over satellite maps of areas that will be targeted. Landmarks are featured in English and Arabic, including a dental center and a daycare facility. Time is 9:25am, when many people would still be asleep after waking up early to eat before fasting for Ramadan.

Post from beirut_today Instagram account with carousel of evacuation maps from the IDF, titled "Israeli Army Issues New Displacement Warnings in Tyre and Saida" [Tyre=Sour]. Maps show red 300m radius around buildings to be targeted.

Friends in Saida, Lebanon texted that the IDF will be targeting something close to them, so they've left their home. Having warning depends on access to social media/internet. They only found out b/c friends called them repeatedly to wake them up.

This what the Insta/Telegram evac posts look like.

Uhhh...

the Dem party number is easily explained by the fact that bluesky is full of people who will crawl over broken glass to vote for Democrats in November and also hate Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries with every bone in their body

I can't stop laughing lol

nothin better than standing regular-style in my favorite restaurant. i love to cross that threshold and plant my feet in a loose but vigilant straddle, like anyone would

Pretty significant shift over my life has been companies treating stockholders as their customers and consumers are just part of the product package

good.

At least three women have come out publicly to say he has stalked them, and in some cases, have gotten orders of protection. He's a self-professed white supremacist and pardoned J6er.

The playful, prolific use of hyperlinks in online journalism (eg Slate, Pitchfork) didn’t anticipate link-rot. Now so many articles are pock-marked with cryptic allusions that some long-dead link once explained. Weird how quickly a new style comes to feel more archaic than the traditional format

Policy briefing executive summary on a blue background with Long Covid Kids logo. Paediatric Long Covid is affecting tens of thousands of children in the UK yet remains poorly tracked. Many affected children experience severe, multi system symptoms that limit their ability to attend school and participate in everyday activities. ​ Evidence shows Long Covid can affect multiple body systems, including the immune, cardiovascular and neurological systems. ​ Despite the growing impact on children, families and schools, national prevalence monitoring has largely stopped, specialist services are closing, and schools still lack clear guidance on how to support affected pupils.

Today we’re launching our new Policy & Parliamentary page.

Visit our website to read the full policy briefing, citations and policy priorities.

Scrapping jury trials is an affront to the very foundations of our democracy.

From the moment this government was elected, it has come after the civil liberties we all hold dear.

This is yet another outrageous assault on our fundamental freedoms. I will be voting against it.

Cancer Haunts Neighbors of Canada’s Oil Sands Wastelands

“Massive pools of toxic waste with known carcinogens — their collective volumes estimated at more than half a million Olympic-size swimming pools — sit near the river… As oil-company operations have increased, so have bouts of unexplained illness among residents of Fort Chipewyan.”
