Saw this Great Blue Heron this afternoon at Berkeley Aquatic Park. From a distance I thought it was a piece of wood because it blended in so well with the old wooden retaining wall behind him. Always delighted to come across a heron.

It’s shameful that support for still-survival funds has evaporated—while aid hasn’t entered, while buildings are still gone—so we redouble the commitment, right? ❤️‍🔥

Food, shelter, blankets, baby supplies for six families - we’ll match £250.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

the most unsurprising thing in the world is now every rightwinger, all yhe way up to JD vance, have explicitely defended this and the statements made by those in this group. and that’s by design, every single rightwinger is now an extremist nazi

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Apologies to anyone who got stuck today driving south across the BU Bridge at rush hour.

At one point there were four 47 buses stuck on one block, and it took about an hour to get through the rotary.

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

So ICE is supposed to be removing the fence but instead has, for now, acquired even more fence for mysterious purposes

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

For the past at least five years, many of the world’s most prominent academics and journalists have been openly pushing the idea that people need to be “exposed” to bigoted ideas and taught by bigoted professors. Why are we then surprised when we find bigots in charge of our children?

It really throws you for a doozy because people will loudly and confidently tell you they know they’re like this and at the same time downplay concerns about these people staffing the places that help determine a child’s future.

only surprising thing about the racist young republican groupchat is that jd vance wasn't in there dropping crylaugh emoji reacts

Whooooooo.

Please share, may not be able to do hourly posts tonight due to my health! 🫶🏾

Does anyone still feel what Odai is going through? 💔
Have you all forgotten the boy injured by a quadcopter who’s been suffering for more than a year and a half?
Odai is still here, in pain, waiting for someone to remember him and reach out before he loses all hope.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson calls Sunday's naked bike ride in protest of the Portland ICE facility and and Trump troop deployment "the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet"

I think that when media outlets report on "threats to ICE" they should remember and cite Mike Johnson saying that a naked bike ride is the most threatening thing he's seen so far

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

I wonder what our newly morally principled payment processors will have to say about this? Will they blacklist ChatGPT?

*Jeopardy theme plays*

I flatly don't believe they've been able to mitigate the mental health issues, they're lying about that, but letting people form deep parasocial attachments with the chatbot it always going to end poorly and the more they encourage that the worse it'll get
