Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

Eventually, Elrond's account of the One Ring ended, overruning the meeting time by 20mins. Despite his lengthy discourse on the subject, everyone later noted that, in the minutes, Elrond had avoided giving himself any actions related to actually dealing with the One Ring problem.

I was so moved by this Christian dad’s response to a despondent trans kid whose father wouldn’t support their care on “Christian” grounds. It’s never OK to use Christ as a weapon of hate. God is love. 💗 www.reddit.com/r/cisparentt...

Illegal and unsustainable trade in wildlife and parts is likely happening near you.

Six months have passed since the #ArtemisII mission and NASA has just released the reentry video from the Orion capsule! Here is a timelapse of the reentry, but be sure to check out the realtime version linked below! 🔭🧪

I got to release some baby lake sturgeon into the wild yesterday. Many of them will outlive me.

I don’t love going to the dentist, but I do like it when I get to ride the cargo bike on a crisp fall morning.

Herpetology is very much a white and male field because of racism. There's no getting around that. Historically and presently Black people were/are not seen as knowledge holders and contributors by the academy.

Whaaaaaaa?

Why would the e scooters do this

someone asked Wile E Coyote about this happening, and how it made him feel in the AMA he did, and he replied with this:

The conservation impacts of recreational fishing, including "catch and release" fishing, are far more serious than most people realize. In my latest blog post, I review the science and evidence. www.southernfriedscience.com/the-conserva... 🧪🌍🦑🐟

@jordanjessego.bsky.social can this be submitted as Stankus fan art?

Magical creature, a cuckoo wasp (Chrysis conica) 💙💚🖤 Found this one trapped in a window frame, tuckered out just enough to not immediately fly away after I freed it. #bugsky

Around me in Central Ohio, we've been told that large corporate data centers are built on "low quality" land but around here, that "low quality" land is habitat for my beloved Grasshopper Sparrows, a species that has already declined 90%+ in the state making some stickers about that

"The emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum," Vader said during the meeting.

our lab conducts 240,000 analyses a year and shockingly not one of them can test for pumpkin spice.

Hell yeah!

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

"I was driving and a cyclist slowed me down because they were on the road." Sounds like you'd be happier if there was a bike lane preventing that. "I was walking and a cyclist hit someone because they were on the sidewalk." Sounds like you'd be happier if there was a bike lane preventing that.

The Appalachians are a billion years, two supercontinents, and 4 orogenic periods old. They’ve been eroding since 200 million years before the Rockies formed. They are the same range as the Scottish highlands, Scandinavian Mountains, and Atlas Mountains. The caves predate bones.

The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

Today I learned my bike is 0.938715 horsepower. @llepodcast.bsky.social So I’ll be riding not quite a horse. Maybe a horse with no mane or tail.

some may think its a fancy car, or a parking spot with your name right in front of the building, but the true pinnacle of status is rolling your bike into your building knowing you can take it up and park it in your office.
