@donmelton I learned from @YLee that sharing a #welcome pineapple 🍍 is a tradition here going back to Mastodon's early days. It's a symbol of hospitality.

My Barak-Mhornar force is coming along nicely! Got some Skywardens almost finished and a gunhauler sprayed up and awaiting some paint!

Oh man, the Justice Thomas story gets better — I figured there was no real issue because SCOTUS has no ethical rules with teeth. As it happens, SCOTUS justices are in fact legally required to report gifts of this size. A sitting justice, who by the way has ruled on cases about similar reporting laws, has been openly violating federal law for a decade.

Will Roberts do anything? No. Will the Senate do anything? No.

@ProPublica has incredible reporting out about #ClarenceThomas secretly accepting lavish luxury travel for decades from a billionaire GOP donor.

Last year we wondered if his wife, Ginni Thomas, would ever be held accountable for her role in the #Jan6 insurrection and her long history of trying to reshape reshape the #political landscape of the U.S into a #rightwing #theocracy

In fact, I'm pretty sure there are still lots of people who don't know that I wrote a book on Falling Felines and Fundamental Physics that came out 4 years ago! https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300231298/falling-felines-and-fundamental-physics/

10/ Via @willbunch:

Democrats should force an impeachment vote of Justice Thomas on the House floor. It won't pass, obviously, but put Republicans on the record supporting this level of corruption, and make the corrupt judiciary a campaign issue

New invention to solve a shocking problem: #PulseOximeters, in use for 50 years, that use ir absorption to measure blood oxygenation don't work with darker skin.

"Studies in 2005 and 2007 using pulse oximeters...showed that the presence of skin pigment resulted in an overestimation of oxygen levels in the blood...(resulting) in inaccurate tests for African American patients, often resulting in less supplemental oxygen in ICU settings".

A shitload of #Republicans will be indicted, tried, found guilty, and incarcerated. Including sitting members of the US Congress.

The new “historical” American Girl Doll was just released and I realized I pretty much had most of the clothes in my closet already, so please forgive me for this terrifying side-by-side.

Hi Everyone! 👋

If you're feeling down, try to focus on the positive things in your life. Write down three things you're grateful for each day, and take some time each day to do something you enjoy.

Helping others can also make you feel better, so reach out to a friend or family member who needs support.

You are a strong and capable person, and you can get through this and help others do the same.

You rock!
