To those implying that Kremlin-controlled social media bot/troll farms became silent after Ukraine hit a Yandex data center, posting this CloudFare chart ( radar.cloudflare.com/bots/as13238 ): Hate to disappoint you all ⤵️

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I keep seeing videos of a guy who catches crabs and lobsters, cracks all the barnacles off them, puts a shrimp in their claws and throws them back. can you imagine. abducted by aliens but they just give you a spa day and hand you two hot dogs and let you go

Ed Sheeran's bravery was so moving we decided to turn it into a fundraiser: store.dftba.com/products/tri...

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

ok I had to force down a tear with this one reskeeting with alt text

My man looks like he’s got a special surprise in store for Sunnydale High’s graduation.

Rest in peace to one of the best to ever do it.

lmao someone definitely took his phone away

Dolly Parton and Patti LaBelle playing their acrylics. Two icons.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: *totally calm after throwing a hit man over a railing into a mall atrium, where he smashes through a table where people are playing d&d, causing them to scatter in fear* encountah table

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

PEGGY: I don’t see the problem, Hank. Didn’t you collect trading cards when you were his age? HANK: Yeah, but mine had guys like Tom Seaver on ‘em, not.. (guh).. Planeswalkers.

Odysseus and his men landing on an island where they have to play basketball against the Harlem Globetrotters

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to hang out in the middle east while he starts the same war every day. when a missile blasts you into pieces he'll say your last words were "we must build a new ballroom in the white house" before your body is even cold. good luck soldier

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

Many areas including NY, WI and MI have extremely poor air quality due to wildfire smoke. While public health agencies advise people to stay indoors and avoid strenuous activity, farm workers are out working in these conditions. 1/

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

seemingly everyone chotiner interviews: “rip to everyone humiliated by chotiner but i’m different. and better. maybe even better than chotiner.”

RIP to all the catholics excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

Stephen Miller's suit here shows one of the biggest problems with men's tailoring today. 🧵

the large hadron collider is kiki in proton mode and bouba in ion mode but some of you aren't ready for that conversation

Don't do any of this.

seems like a pretty obvious ploy to get a separation of church and state case in front of the Roberts court before it's expanded or abolished

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

No, what happened was the religious right in the US, after losing on Obergefell v. Hodges, immediately changed tactics. They held huge conferences outlining their plans to roll back LGBT rights as whole by targeting trans people. They didn't skip a beat. We aren't to blame for our own oppression.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk’s politics, because he is desperate to brand himself an insurgent against the powerful elite, but as the world’s first trillionaire, he needs a definition of “elite” not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.
