“A buoy in #Florida registered a jaw-dropping 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature...For perspective, the average hot tub temperature is 100-102 degrees F…

The water temperatures recorded Sunday and Monday would challenge the record for hottest sea surface temperature in the world. While official world water temperature records aren't kept, a 99.7 degree temperature recorded in Kuwait Bay is considered the world record at this time.”

Tongass National Forest has a great sense of humor about "bear petting." 😜 Another place to visit on my bucket list. It's 16.7 million acres and is in Southeast near Juneau. I've been to Juneau, just not to the forest and I will NEVER pet a bear!

Energy spent learning and growing often feels wasted in today's climate. So I'm returning to my true passion; pettiness and revenge.

1. Be gay
2. Do crimes
3. DO post about being gay
4. DON'T post about doing crimes, for the love of god, I cannot stress this enough, jesus christ

@BlackAzizAnansi Drapetomania was a term coined by Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright in 1851 to define as a mental illness the act of Black slaves running away to freedom.

A psychological experiment showed that if people around us ignore an evident emergency, most would ignore it as well.

I think about this a lot in regards to #Covid, and the #ClimateCrisis

"only one of the ten subjects... reported the smoke. the other nine subjects stayed in the waiting room for the full six minutes while it continued to fill up with smoke, doggedly working on their questionnaires and waving the fumes away from their faces."

@TonyStark We’re not letting them ruin our future.

One man’s trash is another man’s garbage.
Because that’s how synonyms work.

Maxim Butkevich is a Ukrainian journalist, anarchist, & human rights activist who has done extensive work supporting asylum seekers and political prisoners. In 2022, Maxim was captured by Russian forces & sentenced to a 13-year prison term by a “court” in the Russian-controlled Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) for resisting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

And that is how Musk wrecked his (uninsured - did I mention that?) McLaren F1.

The car sat in his garage as a wreck for a few years then he sold it on to another car lover who sent it back to McLaren for restoration.

And if you've ever wondered why the inability of a billionaire villain to safely drive a supercar is a key plot point in Glass Onion...

...well, now you know. /END

@dangillmor

Republican billionaire donors are funding an onslaught of litigation targeting the 1st Amendment. Twitter lawsuits offer the same opportunities for astroturf amicus briefs as they did with Citizens United.

Citizens United allowed the Saudis & Russians to buy Republicans. And 147 congressional election deniers. And a coup. And a corrupt Supreme Court. And an ongoing seditious conspiracy. And planet-frying oil oligarchs funding civil rights rollbacks and voter suppression laws.

Who's with me.

I'll do a thread tomorrow on the X dot com/Paypal merger because I think it's really important to understand how that went down to know why Musk is STILL salty about how X died (and about Peter Thiel) now.

But in the meantime, here is a quick, but telling, story called:

That Time Elon Totalled his McLaren F1 While Trying to Show Off in Front of Peter Thiel /1 🧵 #history #technology

The #white mayor of a tiny #Alabama town less than an hour from Selma has argued he should be immune from a #civilRights #lawsuit, claiming that holding a secret meeting to keep the city’s first-ever #Black mayor and five Black city council members out of office is not a sufficiently clear violation of constitutional rights.

Can you believe the balls on this good ol' boy? Someone needs to explain to him that it's not 1960 anymore.
