Well aware, I'm a big fan of these plants specifically! I sometimes dabble in paleobotany for my own fiction projects because the plants just look so unique

If I ran for President in 2028, I’d run on taking a bulldozer to Trump’s ballroom, an utter desecration of the peoples’ house. In fact, I’d invite the American people one weekend to bring their own sledgehammers & crowbars to the White House to help tear that abomination down.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 14h

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Reminder to our international friends that under no circumstances should you be travelling to the United States. Avoid all unnecessary or leisure travel for your safety and privacy. Palantir doesn’t stop spying on you once you leave the country and it puts your nation at risk. Be aware.

The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.

The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA

1. A federal judge has just ruled in favor of 16 states and schools that refuse to comply with Trumps trans ban demand.

The administration is threatening to pull tens of millions in federal sex ed funding.

Now, they will be blocked.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Well, I was about to upload a video of Percy being cute, but the video option here seems to have disappeared for me. I had it before I thought? Where did it go? #personal

a screenshot of this post before submitting it. The normal lineup of photo, video and camera icons for attaching files has been replaced with photo, camera and ...a gif option. Video? Where art thou?

I haven't tested since the update today, but the quest to give Jim a salmon between 5 and 8 pm didn't proc the "give quest item" prompt, and if I gifted it anyway, his response was "ugh." 😅 It did not complete the quest.

@stairwaygames.bsky.social

Sorry to bother! The PS5 update seems to have broken a bunch of sound effects in Coral Island.

Also, if I may, it'd be nice if large produce still fulfills regular produce quests (ex: large wool counting for wool).

And the a quest for Jim wasn't working.

Of these four pairs of shoes, which two pairs do you think are the lowest in quality?

Make a choice before opening this thread. Then I'll tell you something about shoe quality. 🧵

Four pairs of brown loafers are sitting on top of a rug. The first pair is relatively matte; the second pair is also matte, but has uneven wrinkling; the third part is relatively matte; the fourth pair is very shiny.

I was going to try sketching while I soaked my feet, but that's hard to do when a cat takes my lap. Oh well. Later. #personal #TheCount

Photo of a blanket-covered lap and a long-haired black tabby sitting on it. He's not facing the camera because he's busy washing his side.

Same cat, now getting scritches on his neck and under chin area

And also scritches on his jawline on one side of his face

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Here's a weird observation about the No Kings rallies and Tetris.

Stick with me, I promise it will make sense.

Everyone's talking about the rabid wine moms fueling yesterday's protests and how it caught Very Online political types off guard, like this joke making the rounds:

Cringe Maoist Larper
"Uhhh have you considered the economic anxiety of those poor Trump voters?"

Nicole, Suburban Mum and successful corporate lawyer
"Every Republican alive is an affront to God"
