insects who prefer warmer weather? why the fuck are you so sensitive all of a sudden. your entire body has like 2 nerves in it. you are shit
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.
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:
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

they said in 2025 i will say "Heavens to betsy" . I wont be incorporating the phrase "Heavens to betsy" into my posts, not in 2025, not ever
It’s why I’m mostly here now, in The Good Place.
lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today. i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment. the beauty of the cosmos 🌌

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.
DEI is the bogeyman for those who believe that if I’m gaining, they must be losing. The idea that everything would be fine if only white men ran the world is a weak argument—clung to by insecure men who can’t handle reality. DEI ensures women & BIPOC are looked at fairly IN ADDITION to white men.
Somehow the more streaming services you've got the less there is to watch.
Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

It’s a Mel Brooks piece up in here… High Anxiety!
I would safely assume the house used as the location for the party in Can’t Hardly Wait is gone. It was nestled in the foothills of Altadena. I got to revisit a few years ago for a documentary on homes in movies. A beautiful, historic, 100+ year old estate.
Sure Happy It’s Thursday! What song is stuck in your head right now?
Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!
$1,131,794,901 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.
we are living through a live-action prequel to ‘parable of the sower’
Everyone thinks their cat is the most magnificent cat in the world. And everyone is correct!
Good resistance news: An 'Achilles heel' discovered in antibiotic resistant bacteria. Scientists in Canada found the critical vulnerability: bacteria need zinc. Deprive them of the nutrient & their stability is disrupted making them susceptible to antibiotics again www.genengnews.com/topics/infec...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.

In Russia, the "Cherkizovo Chicken Kingdom," one of Russia's leading poultry producers, is reportedly on fire. Russians report that debris from Ukrainian drones, shot down by Russian air defenses directly over the facility, caused the blaze. That naughty debris again.

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054
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."
🔥 AFU attacked "Cherkizovo Chicken Kingdom" in the Kursk region with drones — a large poultry production facility. 👀 According to Russians, air defense shot down all the targets, but the debris fell on the territory and a strong fire started.
My deepest condolences to those affected by the California wildfires and to all suffering from wars around the world. We are living in turbulent times; our planet shows its pain, and society remains divided. Hopefully, one day we’ll polarize our perspectives less and recognize the power in our unity
This stunning image captures a vibrant galaxy set against a backdrop of deep space. The galaxy displays a prominent spiral structure, with bright swirling arms composed of pink and blue hues that signify regions of star formation and interstellar matter. A bright core is evident at the center, radiating light and energy, while streams of gas and dust stretch outward, hinting at dynamic cosmic activity.

Surrounding the galaxy, an array of sparkling stars is scattered throughout the dark expanse, each varying in brightness and size, creating a sense of depth and vastness. The overall composition offers a breathtaking view of the universe, celebrating the intricate beauty of galactic formations and the mysteries that lie beyond our own planet.

This space artwork serves as an inspiring representation of astrophysical phenomena, evoking wonder and curiosity about the cosmos and our place within it.
