I love baikal seals. what if there was a real animal that looked like an alien dog that's constantly on the verge of tears
I saw The Odyssey this weekend (it was incredible; I've never felt so emotionally connected to the story) and came away with many thoughts. One of them: Antinous is my favorite Robert Pattinson role--I love it even more than his character in The Lighthouse. So delightfully weaselly. 10/10, no notes
My brain 100% insists this is bad PhotoShop. So, yeah, the sun is resting on my brain. Wow.
c0nc0rdance@c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 2w agoTwice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."
Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.
Let it be known that this is what I wake up to every morning.
Seems like a good time to remind people the USWNT has won 4 World Cups! ⚽️
“He’s behind me, isn’t he.” “Yep.” “Is he making that stupid face?” “Yep.”
Did I commission a watercolor painting of the algae-filled reflecting pool from the incomparable @artologica.net? Yes. Yes, I did. It is just as amazing as you'd expect. Now to build a frame for it.

Over a year after trying to buy InfoWars, The Onion hasn't given up despite legal setbacks I caught up with @bencollins.bsky.social on why it launched a parody anyway, what it's borrowing from the Alex Jones playbook, and plans for "total world domination" www.status.news/p/infowars-t...
Winning The InfoWars
The Onion chief Ben Collins spoke to Status about its InfoWars takeover, reaction from Alex Jones’ followers, and plans for “total world domination.”

Just learned that diners were designed and named after the dining car on trains and this never occurred to me despite some of them literally being train cars and being named “this is a pretend train you are eating in”
lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.
And the same for authors and books
It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.
The Onion says it won’t wait for the courts, will launch Infowars to pay Sandy Hook families
The Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.
