It was a pretty big year for predators The marketplace was on a roll And the land of opportunity Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls 📍Texas

The skull of a Flat-tail horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii), close relative of the 'Texas horny-toad', native to the Sonoran desert. Unlike the thorny spikes on the body that are made of modified skin keratin, head spikes (horns) are bony skeletal structures covered in keratin. (📷: Emily Chebul)

Flat-tailed Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii) in Mexico.  The skull has bony spike all over it, but especially near the nostrils and back fringe of the head.

the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close

obviously this is islamophobia, but it's also the liberal framing of american empire as always being reactive. none of our actions ever have consequences and no one ever has valid historical reasons to be hostile towards america

25 years after the tired American cliche of “why do they hate us,” helped instigate two forever wars (Afghanistan + Iraq), this is how @nytimes.com chooses to explain Iran’s political system:

Screenshot of text extract from NY Times article: “But in a political system premised on hatred of the United States, none show interest in a larger reconciliation with the United States.”

At the risk of being chauvinistic the story of the Dallas Morning News vs the Times Herald, and the subsequent movement of the DMN as simply *the* de facto paper for the city of Dallas is exactly what conservatives are hoping to replicate nationally in media, education, etc

A lot of the MAGA crowd wants the US to essentially become like the UAE, where there’s an enormous foreign workforce who have substantially fewer rights than citizens and are subject to awful working conditions. It’s a fever dream, but it’s their fever dream.

Don't miss this vile story: MAGA is raging at DHS chief Markwayne Mullin for admitting migrant farmworkers can beneft our economy. This means his devotion to ethnic cleansing is in doubt. He must be excommunicated! I wrote about the collapse of MAGA mythology here: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
