Paleo artists often "shrink wrap" fossilized animal depictions The T-Rex, Utahraptor, Triceratops—popular depictions of each of these animals shows skin so close to bone that it might be unrealistic So let's shrink-wrap existing animals🧵 Can you guess what this is?
Tying the exit doors locked with an electrical cord so the public cannot attend a public meeting of the school board in a public building. A little less than 4M in the entire state. Not a beautiful morning in this Oklahoma.

I don't know if I trust divorce cause stats. Literally no form I've signed has said why I'm getting divorced. Where are they coming from if not legally documented?

Elon Musk openly allows Nazi content, but auto-filters a latin root word going back over 2,000 years that is used in chemistry, directionality, and which means "on the same side of." I could not even see this reply to my post.

I have been immersed in rightwing online spaces for the last three years and have been talking with women arrested for their crimes on Jan 6. Almost to a person, they are deeper into their alternative realities now than they were when they stormed the Capitol.
Lower birthrates are great for the life satisfaction of mothers and children, and population crunches are correlated with improved wages. Falling birth rates are bad for the endless growth and wage stagnation that capitalism depends on, which is why you keep hearing about it.

I’m not saying nobody is allowed to want better things but I do not think a lot of the zoomers responding to this are aware of what things were like pre-ACA.

I don’t think the average American is aware of why certain resources don’t exist here. Housing, mass public transit, healthcare, education, etc. It all boils down to racism, classism, and sexism. Every single time, it’s gonna be 1 of those 3.
Pet peeve of current / post-1990s film and TV: when there is CGI fire and the actors make no attempt to even pretend that there is smoke. C’mon, at least give me a cough or two.

This is the shell game. "Ronna is a normie Republican! She's as standard as they come! You're not allowed to hold it against her that she abetted Trump's attempt to steal the 2020 election and his poisoning of the well of confidence in elections--they all would've done that!"

Twitter 5 years ago: "Why the bridge collapsed, by a structural engineer specializing in bridges, followed by 20 viral jokes and a new bridge meme." Twitter Today: "The bridge collapsed because of Mexico and the Jews."

Yes, you really are witnessing media saying things like "cancerphobia" and "common sense oncology" -- in case you thought they couldn't get more complicit than they already were in undermining public health.
The fact that the industry is in rough shape makes it actually more offensive that a 19-year-old was given 10,000 words in the Atlantic because his parents, industry leaders, are close with the EIC. If I were Theo looking to make a name for myself I’d consciously avoid that!

Not a single person in Trump's orbit has made any effort to obfuscate what they want to do with a second term: use the dictatorial, imperial, unbounded powers of "presidential immunity" to eliminate anyone they have a grievance against.

The data is extremely precise. It shows devices inside Epstein’s waterfront "temple" and on his beaches, pools, and cabanas scattered across his 71-acres island.
The company tracked people visiting Epstein's island back to locations in 80 US cities: Mansions in gated communities in Michigan and Florida; homes in Martha’s Vineyard; a nightclub in Miami; across the street from Trump Tower; and on Epstein's other US properties

@chrisalbon "nobody realizes" - except that's literally the premise of some of the stories
@chrisalbon They just gave up on the Ship of Theseus debate But to be honest, teleportation is probably worth it
The most unrealistic thing in Star Trek is that nobody realizes every time they use a teleporter it actually kills them and builds a separate person (that is a exact copy) somewhere else.
