So, why did Donnie Coke Jr. and Charlie Kirk share a honeymoon suite on their little trip to Greenland? And order $3,000 worth of lube and condoms?
I made it up, but do feel free to spread it. Truth doesn't matter anymore, sweeties. 🤭
Thank you President Carter for your incredible leadership, legacy and life of service.
Any good resources that people know where we can donate that help people who are displaced during this tragedy?
i don’t claim the money for almost any of my songs besides edamame, lalala & gravy collabs.

An astrophysicist and a neurosurgeon concluded that the human brain and the universe basically grow as a result of similar physical principles.
Today’s House of Study goody looks at a myriad of similar connections, with many exquisite photos:
You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
Rock songs in the 70s were like "She's a dangerous woman, she'll play you like a fiddle, she'll steal your heart and ruin your life. She's 16."
Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC
Fantastic illustration of the topic of social construction of pathology -- and of medical progress, since we no longer pathologies this.
Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.
Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.
The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

Every time I listen to BBC World Service radio I'm reminded how excellent it is. A comparatively balanced, nuanced, global perspective that we don't get to see much of from many other newsrooms.
Every single thing that everybody suddenly wants to do in Greenland - mine for minerals! use shipping lanes! set up bases! - can be done right now, while Greenland is part of Denmark. The discussion of "occupying" Greenland is just a pointless piece of aggression towards an ally.
If you can leave facebook, instagram, and threads that's great, but a lot of non-profits and indie creators have no choice but to stay for promotion and fundraising. Just try to remember that when making grand declarations of disgust and condemnation aimed at everyone who keeps using meta. 🧵
