Moose are great swimmers, can fully submerge for 30+ sec, & dive up to 5m deep! When a moose submerges its head, the difference btwn water pressure & air pressure causes specialized structures w/in moose nostrils to seal the nose! The deeper they dive, the greater the pressure, the tighter the seal!
Quote this skeet with a random fact you love, that brings you joy, I'll start:

Otters have pockets. The skin under their armpits makes a natural fold that they keep things in.

"Authoritarians strip you of your language. They try to convince you that what you know is not true and that what you say is not valid. We have to deny authoritarians their ability to demonize our language."

You diagram is outdated. There is no Rose Garden anymore. It’s now the god-awful, ugly paved over Trump Terrace, complete with Mara Lago patio umbrellas.

WBEZ/Sun-Times are crowd-sourcing a map of ICE raids.

Put aside what they’re doing and to whom and why.

The fact that the people of an American city, including the mayor and governor, have to guess where Federal agents are operating, is itself insane.

Oh wow. 🤯 MSM has got to get their shit together and figure out how they are going to deal with this problem.

Over in Ireland and the election for their next President, a preview of the terrifying and depressing next stage of the information world we live in.
We knew this would happen. Note how realistic the visuals and voices are.
This AI deepfake video of Catherine Connolly ‘withdrawing’ from presidential contest and that Friday’s poll is ‘cancelled’ is live and viral on Facebook tonight.
1000s watching, commenters believing it.
The fact that a lot of people have been swayed by transphobic propaganda doesn’t mean we should encourage or tolerate transphobia. It means we need to do a much better job of attacking and destroying transphobic messaging.

A shorter version of this is that bigots in the tent doesn't mean elevating bigots to leadership roles.
this feels completely banal? yes, a big tent political party is going to include voters who have bigoted views. i don’t think anyone has argued otherwise? the actual question at hand is “to what extent should a political party ostensibly committed to equality appeal to popular prejudices?”
Bigots in the tent
What did you think winning meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.

NPR: The White House starts demolishing part of the East Wing to build Trump's ballroom

My opinion: "Part" of the East Wing? All that is left is the breezeway.
The mini multi component system over her shoulder in that photo… pretty sure I had that at one point.

It’s almost like averaging the internet does not guarantee accuracy or something, which will come as a huge surprise to anyone who has been on the internet.

Quite telling that when specifically asked to focus on a particular source, it does not give you information from that source; it just falsely attributes whatever it was going to say anyway.

Also, Gemini being considerably worse than the (already bad) others? Ouch, Google.
Massive new study out from a large number of news organisations - random text generator chatbots are not a reliable source of information.

Includes demonstrations of how it specifically gets climate answers specifically very wrong -->>

WOW this was a HARD one. 12 frames, stacked and edited in photoshop and Kolar Autopano Giga. My laptop was NOT happy with it! Final version is 89x248 inchs.

I chastised someone yesterday for comparing Platner to the multiple “ghost candidates” in FL who divided Dem votes to the benefit of GOP candidates in multiple races and to the three Dems who flipped parties post-election in in FL. Now I’m thinking they were likely spot-on with that comparison.
This isn’t a thread about Florida. This is a thread about a Senate race in Maine. The political landscape in Maine is very different than Florida. There is no need to whip up a completely unsubstantiated wild ass conspiracy theory for a dude who has already tanked his own campaign.

I mean it’s already extremely on the nose but if their plans get repeatedly denied and we just go the remainder of the term with a crater where the East Wing used to be it will be the best visual metaphor for this administration imaginable
If he wins the primary, he’s not a spoiler. At that point he would be the Dem nominee. The other scenario of party flipping is pure fantasy at this point and also not an example of someone being a “spoiler” in an election. Words have meanings.
What. The. Actual. Fuck. Allie?
How is he an election spoiler in a primary?

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.
