“Don’t worry, I’m Batman.” 🥺

Ah, I see Trump is keen to pick up some more support among young voters. All because she trashed him years ago…

Always be willing to ask and honestly answer yourself the question "Is that true, or do I just want to believe it?"

Remember: the GOP is a lawless party masquerading as patriots, and they’re getting away with it.

The look on the face of the left giraffe is pure bliss. He is enjoying some grooming from an oxpecker. Or maybe he just has his eyes closed. See more here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/giraffe-bliss-botswana-africa-joan-carroll.html

I've seen people say things like "the GOP's latest culture war is meant to distract you while they [something evil]." I think this is unhelpful framing.

First, their "culture wars" almost always have real world implications. Objecting to drag shows, trans gender affirming care, and "woke environmentalism" all have very real world consequences for everyone.

Second, even the dumbest culture war battles the GOP starts - e.g., "M&Ms aren't sexy enough - are part of a broader campaign of bodily control over women and other minorities.

The GOP's "culture wars" are not a distraction. They're part of the right-wing assertion of hegemony over bodies, politics, and policy, and should be recognized as such.

On our Sunday stroll this afternoon came across a small ship regatta being held in our local pond - participants appeared to be elderly retired sailors - standout was the mini paddle steamer 👍⛵⚓😜

Awkward 😳

Elon Musk is begging Twitter users to like Hyundai's ad.

Apparently, Hyundai's ad engagements were not enough, and Musk felt the need to step in.

If I were Hyundai, I'd be questioning my ad spend.

The Fourth Crusade was definitely the funniest Crusade because all these French and Italian knights got together with a big Venetian fleet at the urging of the pope to retake the Holy Land in service of a great and benevolent all-loving god but the pope said "OK I will give this crusade my blessing but DON'T DO VIOLENCE AGAINST CHRISTIANS" and exactly the first thing the crusaders did was sack a Christian city and then the pope said "WHAT DID I JUST FUCKING SAY?" and excommunicated them all but they said "Well gee, I guess you should just use your OTHER army and massive fleet to capture the Holy Land" so he relented and gave them his blessing again and said "BUT DO NOT DO VIOLENCE AGAINST _ANY MORE_ CHRISTIANS AND THIS TIME I MEAN IT" so they went to Constantinople, the most magnificent city in Christendom and seat of the thousand-odd-year-old actual no-shit Roman Empire and the pope sent word to the priests in the army and said "DO NOT SACK THAT FUCKING CHRISTIAN CITY I SWEAR TO GOD" but the priests passed along this message by sort of mumbling and saying "fine, it'll be fine" and then the priests expelled all the prostitutes from the crusader camp because they wanted to "purify" the army for its holy and noble work to come and then they burned a fuck-ton of Constantinople to the ground and sacked the shit out of it and never even got to the Holy Land, the end.

"We need to breathe clean air indoors" shouldn't be a fringe position.

"I'm trying hard to avoid repeated infection from the brain damaging virus" shouldn't be the view of a radical minority.

It's official. I've been on Mastodon all day long. Is this what it feels like to be extremely online?

I’ve been shopping around and buddy, the prices for a decent telescope are astronomical

The discovery of one of the oldest — and, perhaps, unluckiest — ships to sink off Lake Superior's Shipwreck Coast is being celebrated by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/nucleus-shipwreck-found-1.6744408 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/CBCNews/status/1624634412485775361#m

Afternoon, toots! It’s going to be hot here today, 37, the first day of a predicted 3 day #heatwave. Partner has bought some lovely big bags of cold ice for the Esky, in case we have blackouts tonight.
Today’s photo is from 2016, when Wonderdog was still a silly puppy. We call this her “Did I pass the Jethro Tull audition?” photo. She’s wearing a t shirt because she had stitches, and to stop her licking them, we found this better than a cone of shame. #DogsOfMastodon
