I don't have a problem with having both moderates and progressive Democrats in Congress. I do have a problem when people collapse into a pile of wet noodles around fascism, and yet suddenly know how to pull every trick in the book to stop progressives.

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar. The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue. The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

i want someone to write a hot take essay about which animals technically count as equine so someone else can write a meta-take on the debate and we can have A Horse Is A Horse Discourse Discourse
