Same goes for that orange dictator in the White House (what’s left of it)
I don't know what will happen in Iran, but these moments, when dictatorships are facing their own people in the streets, are all about breaking the other side first.

Just finished this awesome new-ish book by @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social on animal communication. It covers a lot of ground with a huge diversity of species—& it's a blast to read! Great for those interested in sensory ecology. (I had skulls of all the cover animals, so I snapped a photo! 😃)

Cancel the World Cup.
The odds of at least one team being detained or prevented from coming to the World Cup seems super high to me at this point

I get bruises all the time. And often don’t know where or how I got them.

CBS 'news' reports that: "Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident..."

Here's the thing, that can mean 'a bruise' — it just sounds much more dramatic to call it "internal bleeding to the torso"
BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

Er is een groot verschil tussen kritisch zijn op ‘de’ media en haar willens en wetens verdacht maken.

Het verschil tussen intelligentie en totale afwezigheid daarvan, gekoppeld aan diepe kwaadaardigheid.

Even iets persoonlijker: weet je waar ik zo verschrikkelijk van baal? Ik begin eindelijk een beetje goed te worden in mens-zijn, in de dingen die ik graag zou willen doen en de dingen waar ik naar uitkijk. Maar ik ben dus al voorbij de helft van mijn leven en heb nog maar pakweg 25-30 jaar

In Amerika strijdt de overheid tegen een onafhankelijk onderzoek naar de ICE-agent die drie kogels op een vrouw schoot. ‘Kan gebeuren’, vindt de Nederlandse regering. U bent gewaarschuwd. petjeaf.com/kimvankeken/...

Read the whole conversation. (American) christianity is creepy as hell. And this creepiness explains almost everything what’s going on regarding almost everthing
This is exactly what @sethcotlar.bsky.social & @badtoss.bsky.social were talking about yesterday. Christians, especially evangelicals, can assert their beliefs that their religious beliefs should be the law of the land, while also being treated as not “political,” in ways no other group is allowed.
This is the key part. Only Christian Americans are allowed to confidently proclaim the truth of their beliefs, if anyone else does it they’re trying to “ram their beliefs down your throat.”

this is wildly illegal and the courts will rule it such, but congressional democrats should be thinking long and hard about the terms under which they will agree to continue funding this government

They know they are producing these images and want to be. Again, either they want to escalate violence or they do not understand humans or both.

Ja, maar in een democratie worden kinderen ook wel eens door overheidsdiensten ontvoerd, hoor.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Natuur is niet het resultaat van goed beheer, het is niet een product wat opgeleverd wordt. #Natuur is vooral gebaat bij dingen laten, dus als je stopt met vervuilen en leegpompen heeft het alleen nog ruimte nodig. Beheer is nodig voor #cultuurlandschappen - die zijn overigens ook waardevol.

Hoe ridicuul het is om het op BlueSky de hele dag met elkaar eens te zitten zijn, werd duidelijk toen iemand begon te preken over hoe hypocriet “wij” zijn met onze verontwaardiging over het doodschieten van Renee Good door Trumps Gestapo.

Niet alleen Amerikanen, ook Nederlandse troglodieten vinden dat je de doodstraf verdient als je de politie niet gehoorzaamt. Behalve als je asielzoekerscentra of het Capitool bestormt, uiteraard.

We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

Volgens mij is dat ook de bedoeling. Ik begrijp daar niks van, maar werkelijk alles is er op gericht om zand in de machine te strooien. En niet alleen door extreemrechts.
