"Other countries have to do whatever the US president tells them to because doing otherwise could negatively impact the president's approval ratings and therefore constitutes foreign interference in US elections" is a fascinating bit of reasoning, I'm not gonna lie.

Carney announces the crude oil pipeline to the West Coast, which will almost certainly drive the orcas there to extinction, is designated in the “national interest.” That means it can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments and Indigenous consultation. He laughs while announcing it.

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

Made my day: sent in a book rec to #hwatweekly, who shared it, and listeners picked up the book and finished it and loved it and I'm just 😊😳🥹😎🥰 (Beowulf, a New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley. Read by JD Jackson, who sounds like a roadie at a biker bar regaling you with tales of past glory.)

Absolute banger from this weekend's reading on educational psychology. "Most of what is put forward as brain-based education builds on scientifically inaccurate myths: The one small way neuroscience relates to most 'brain-based' education is that the students have brains."

To Spoiler for today's Connections - the clue is "shit that doesn't fit in the other three groups." (not much of a spoiler. They use this 2 out of every 3 days.)

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds.

Well, I've learned a valuable Pacific Northwest lesson about wearing pants when doing yard work around blackberry Vines. That lesson being "always wear pants around blackberry vines because fucking OWWW"

Dusted off my college era Space Hulk sets to play Mission 1 with my son. Yes, *THAT* mission 1. IYKYK. Sean met the win conditions with one Terminator still up (3 genestealers about to eat his face, but still...) and the Flamer with enough ammo left to self-destruct gloriously.

We're rewatching stranger things with our younger kids now that they're old enough to enjoy it so you're getting this smoking hot take: If the forever-GM self identifies as the group's irl paladin, fucking RUN from that social circle.

There are at least *three* right-wing text-based social media sites, one owned by The Actual President, another by the richest man in history, and all of which openly foster white supremacy. But those are not the ones every op-ed page in the western world is sneering about

k I haven't lived in Canada very long, but I'd still like extend a HEARTY "fuck you, bud" to the orange dumbass. People up here are dying , losing houses, losing entire towns. Meanwhile the US had pulled out of climate agreements, expanded oil drilling, gutted the EPA. www.bbc.com/news/article...

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
