It’s #Friday folks!

Have the best #weekend you can.

You know the drill:

Be #kind
Be #gentle
Be #true
Be like #bees.

Unless your country, your place, your home is being stolen and destroyed by billionaire backed Nazis or your family and neighbours are being exterminated by a genocidal bitch-ass criminal…then fuck nice and fight dirty and like hell!

Have a good one folks!😊

I like spending £50+ on brand new cat toys, just so that my cat can have a new cardboard box to play with.

@ai6yr When asked if he got a screen protector yet for his Nintendo Switch 2, my middle school nephew said: no, he was just raw-dogging it. I had to suppress an expression.

@deewani @ai6yr honestly having a good time without protection is probably much closer to the meaning than the BBC usage.

@GottaLaff RFK Jr posted they were together at a NIAID biological hazard lab yesterday.

It is more likely she just had an allergic reaction to something, but if you told me these paragons of meritocracy had cut corners on safety protocols because they thought they were being ninnies or whatever, I'd be minimally shocked.

A screenshot of RFK Jr's instagram post showing a dark grey blue NIAID facility sign, Kristi Noem, Rand Paul, and RFK Jr himself standing in front of it. The post from the day before Noem's hospitalization on 17 June, 2025 states "With DHS @sec_noem and @senatorrandpaul inspecting the biological hazard labs at Fort Detrick"

There are insipid but positive comments, some, of which are partially visible, the first one being 36 hand clapping emojis.,

I think I would have a ball writing a kid's book about an alien that crash-lands in a kid's yard and wants to destroy the planet, but gets derailed by the kid and then develops a sense for the planet's pathos and... fuck it's just Lilo and Stitch.

@HG I don't know that you have to overthink the content too much. Spending time with them talking about historical issues, encouraging them to ask probing questions and generally getting interested in how one thinks and talks about history will take them far, it'll also help develop a sense of media literacy.

Maybe start with local places of historical interest, monuments, and museums, find places where those local histories tie into larger themes?

PragerU has a loot box for premium subscribers* and it cracks me up because the products are trash, and I can usually find the exact product less the branding on Alibaba, but they never Country of Origin Labeling.

*I am not one, my parents adore him and moved and I periodically forward any mail that's slipped through.

A 15x10cm tiny American flag stapled to a wooden dowel with a gold-colored wooden finial on a white background. More nicely finished versions of this product, sewn around the dowel rather than stapled to it unevenly, were eight cents per item on Alibaba.

Tiny American flags always remind me of the Tree House of Horror bit where Kang and Kodos are running for president. "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!"
