Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

An exceptionally well-preserved Ordovician trilobite I came across this week.
Not my find this time — but the level of detail is incredible, with the thoracic segments and cephalon almost perfectly intact.

If we kill innocent people with impunity, some of the family members of the people we kill will want to kill us back. And that's how cycles of violence go on for generations.

That's why the obligation to stop the violence always rests on the folks with the bigger guns.

I have absolutely no doubt that come the midterms the GOP in Texas is going to do every single thing it can to suppress votes, including causing as much confusion as possible on Election Day. The GOP cannot afford to lose the midterms in Texas so be prepared for all kinds of shenanigans.

Flying into Trouble plus Friday Funnies #1 Here’s this week’s cartoon from The Economist. I particularly like its composition and playful spirit. The sight of munitions scolding a dazed Uncle Sam offers comic relief from the deadly serious bus...

Just so you’re aware, a touch screen does not recognize when it’s poked with a Reese’s Stick.

I know, I just tried to change the song in my car with one.

In a seaside landscape, a skeletal figure tugs at a man in oilskins as they stand in the water, just off the beach. Gray, stormy clouds in the sky, and a tower or lighthouse stands in the distance.

When people who cheat at a game invite you to play with them, it is not for your benefit that they do so.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

That Norman Rockwell freedom of speech painting with the guy standing up to speak and all the men looking adoringly at him while the woman gives him side eye (quite rightly as the real guy was arguing not to fund education in his town or some nonsense).

When I am given the option to ‘continue’ it should mean to continue with what *I* was doing, not what the website/app/device wants me to be doing.

A gloriously stripey warp in purple, burgundy, yellow, and orange. It is pictured in closeup on an inkle loom.

A gloriously stripey warp in purple, burgundy, yellow, and orange. It is pictured in closeup on an inkle loom.

The results of that warp when woven - 3/4" wide band in two distinct patterns. One is a gradient from yellow through each colour on both sides, and the other is a purple/yellow chain on a yellow ground. It has a purple weft and a small purple edge on one side, with a slightly thicker purple edge on the other side of the band.

Some people will never understand the incredible sense of satisfaction these two pictures bring to me, and that's ok.

I don't understand the allure of sportsball or loud concerts or racetracks or reality TV, and that's ok as well.

Not gonna yuck your yum, just gonna lean into mine.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Is there anything Reform UK politicians won’t u-turn on?

Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

I love early voting in my area. It avoids the utter bullshit of them sending us all over town to separate locations to vote.
But you know what? Instead of a voting DAY, we should be having a voting WEEK so lines aren't forcing this situation in the first place.
