Anyway I think we can agree after seeing a few other vids that the band was pretty insufferable, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did influence The Damned a little, not to mention Bowie’s Screaming Lord Byron.

Hm. This one is better quality, but has a perfectly idiotic fake murder scene in the middle which was cut from the other one.

Some more on today's #RodentOfTheDay - the Prairie Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii)

"Groups of 10 or more individuals spend the winter together in a nest to conserve heat."

Ph/Info: www.minnesotaseasons.com/Mammals/prai...

Prairie deer mouse is a small North American deer mouse. Adults are 5½″to 6⅝″ long, including the tail, and weigh from 0.68 to 0.87 ounces at maturity.

The body is round and slender. The coat (pelage) on adults is short and soft. It is grayish-brown on the back and sides and white below. On young individuals the pelage is gray.

The head is pointed. The eyes are beady and black. The ears are large. The whiskers are long and prominent.

The tail is relatively short, 23 ⁄16″ to 2¾″ long, about 40% of the total length. It is sharply bicolored, dark above and white below.

The hind feet are ⅝″ to ¾″ long.

This one appears to be walking on someone's hand.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

I can usually handle it, but maybe I shouldn’t eat while I watch.

They’ve been making some tear-jerkers lately! NGL I uglysobbed through a lot of the Amelia episode. The one where Louise reads her Christmas poem got me too. And the Rudy ep, my goodness.

Man, facts don’t mean a thing to these jackals. They’ve been too busy getting off to videos of ICE cracking skulls to pay attention to the tariffs. 🫠

Sounds great, unfortunately Godzilla wasn’t up to the task.

Screenshot from a video game (?) with Godzilla stomping around between skyscrapers. A text screen at the bottom shows a woman saying “Go ahead and destroy the financial district Godzilla. Make the people happy.”

Yeah, the Discover tab routinely shows me the posts of people I follow which haven’t shown up in my regular feed. It’s frustrating.

As commenters observed, toxic ideology + toxic supplements explains a lot about the manosphere.

Great thread. Vegan supplements were the worst offenders, but all of them are fucked up.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.
