Luna Mare doesn't make music for passive listening. Their experimental jazz fusion demands and rewards attention in equal measure. @strawn_na @strawn_ja #experimental #jazz #alternative #punk #globalgarage🎵🪇🎼

@BenjaminPDixon None of this happened. You rely on racist assumptions and no proof. Also that's not what a real bullet would look like after it is fired.

Hamas never shot 100 kids in the head with sniper bullets.
The IDF did.

@LindaMeadWrites Without looking it up, I'm imagining a large house belonging to a wealthy family. These are their private rooms for the family rather than for entertaining guests. Or it's related to housekeeping.
English
If you read "domestic rooms" in a book, what would you think the phrase means?
English
We were all #experiments. I didn't think they would pay attention to me. Who am I to these people? Apparently one simple test taken when I was ten years old told them I was a "dog person."

Our hero fumbles
#Blind from #drink
His clothes are bloody
He’s tired
He stinks
Fungus neath his fingernails
Ha’ made his trigger finger swell
He strokes a #line of monster tails
Growls so near do not bode well
But if tonight his prey assailed
Oh—the stories he will tell

"Do you know how many senses there are?" My wife asked, perched at the edge of her seat.
"Five," I replied.
"Actually there are fifty-four."
"That's ridiculous, there are only five."
"It's ok, dear. I don't expect you to be able to keep up."
She would say things like that to me, knowing full well how fragile the male ego can be. I pressed my lips together tightly.
She stood up suddenly. "Anyway," she continued, "I found a new one. A fifty-fifth."
Who was I to contradict? She unzipped the space in front of her, and disappeared, only to pop up through the floor, in the den, a week later.
"Where have you been?!"
"Oh, here and there. I found this hiding in a #blind spot." She dropped a book in my lap. It was an old copy of 'A Wizard of Earthsea' that I had lost when I was seven. Only the words were skewed, almost falling off the page, as if a blackhole had been tugging at it.
"Don't trouble yourself, dear." She had an annoying habit of intuiting my thoughts, pulling the words right out of my head, and I had definitely closed that door.
"Yes, I know what you're thinking, and no, that's not going to happen."
I opened my mouth to speak, but she had wandered into the kitchen.

This account is going to explode and honestly it deserves to.

Our little home. Bought in 1982 for £28,000. Just a modest family home in Surrey with a bit of a garden. I remember picking up extra shifts at the post office that summer to save for the deposit. We were so young. Apparently it's worth £1.5 million now but to us it's just home. 🏡

@WillieHandler I see it as punishment crackers. We suffer because they suffered worse to book it out of Egypt. And Matzo brei- who wants soggy egg crackers? Who really enjoys it?

Jewish people posting disgusting matzo dishes during Passover like they were Michelin chefs.

@BulwarkOnline @Timodc @SarahLongwell25 @SarahLongwell25 why you are so reflexively defensive of zionism?
Why is it OK for zionists to take other peoples' land and brutally subjugate everyone they failed to fully ethnically cleanse?
Why is it OK for Israel to sociopathically attack and destabilize neighbours?
English
"I could think of 1000 other things I would rather Democrats pick fights about now. Like, why him right now?"
"Because he's making their life harder."
@Timodc and @SarahLongwell25 spar over one of the biggest questions facing Democrats right now: what to do about Hasan Piker?

My son fiddled with the #ring on his finger.
"Your claws have grown long," I said.
He nodded and recited, "A beaver is ready for flight when our claws & front teeth grew long enough."
"A tradition from long before we could even speak."
"And now we pilot for ourselves." #vss365

In 1948, 76 beavers were dropped from an airplane with parachutes. All but one survived. It started because beavers were causing problems in a small town in the mountains of the northwestern United States. The wildlife department wanted to move them to a remote basin deeper in the wilderness, but transporting them overland by mule wasn’t working. The beavers got aggressive in the heat. The mules panicked at the smell. Too many animals were lost on the way. An employee named Elmo Heter came up with something else. Surplus parachutes from the war. Wooden boxes designed to snap open on impact. Drop them from a plane. They tested it on one old male beaver they named Geronimo. He was dropped over and over on a flying field. Heter wrote that after a while, Geronimo just gave up and would crawl back into his box on his own, ready to go up again. On 14 August 1948, a twin-engine plane took off with eight crates. Over the following days, 76 beavers were parachuted into a remote mountain basin. Geronimo got the first flight. Three young females went with him. The only beaver that didn’t make it had chewed its way out of the box mid-air. When officials checked a year later, every beaver had built a dam, stored food, and started a colony. The original footage was lost for decades until an archivist found it misclassified in the state archives in 2014.

@thastepfordwife @nanransohoff I agree. It isn't like this is hidden knowledge.
English
@nanransohoff Part of me wants to say “at least they tried” but the other part of me thinks they think they are trolling.

UPDATE: The man and woman in their 70s, killed tonight by the Iranian cluster missile strike in Ramat Gan, didn’t make it to the shelter in time.
They were found in the stairwell, on their way to the underground shelter in their building.
This is who the regime in Iran targets: an elderly couple who couldn’t run fast enough when the 1am siren woke them in panic.

@SketchesbyBoze @StewMama71 Some of my kid's teachers refuse to answer genuine questions & belittle students for mistakes. Some teachers don't seem the grasp the subjects they are teaching & are relying on these "screens" to do the work for them. So, where does that leave us with these opposing anecdotes?
English
Every teacher I know personally is leaving the profession because students have become unteachable. They don’t read, they don’t talk to each other, they have no curiosity, no passion, no interest in learning. Giving kids unfettered access to screens has ruined a generation.

In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. We've got a serious problem brewing in education...

@visegrad24 No wonder she was so hostile to me at that bachelorette weekend...

White people are psychopathic.
They steal countries. They stole yoga and vegetarianism. They steal everything and call it discovery,
says NYC psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani who previously went viral for a controversial lecture at Yale’s Child Study Centre titled The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind, where she said White people are “out of their minds and had been for a long time”.
She also said at the infamous lecture:
“I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body, and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f..king favour,” she told the audience of clinicians and child mental health experts.

Yes but maybe she knows how to spell, at least

If you were a fraction of the man I am, and lived how I live, you’d never ever get married. No you’re wife isn’t a “good one” She’s just a great liar and you’re an idiot.

@strawn_na I love your explanation and this photo is incredible. I thought I was looking at a statue.

Last Nichols retweet, an unnecessary explanation. Qualius-super-Mare: the one defined by the qualitative question, on sea. Born in Weston-super-Mare a muddy estuary of the Avon, where the tide retreats to reveal miles of brown flat that is neither land nor sea.

@strawn_na Well, not using a pretentious Latin name would be a start ;)
