I’m the only person i know (in US) who lived under a fascist dictator. Franco. Spain 64-68. I was a kid so I was pretty unaware. But I do have one scary memory. Running and taking shelter with my mom in a vendors stall cause the Guardia Civil may have been using live rounds on protestors. Can we please stop calling everything fascist? It doesn’t bother me so much but it seems insulting to the people that had to live under such horrors and didn’t have the luxury of having a US passport.
Another Endangered Pregnant Hammerhead Killed in Florida by Mark the Shark:
This past weekend in Florida. Mark Quartiano killed a critically endangered Great Hammerhead. This wasn't just any shark—she was pregnant with 35 pups, all of which died with her.
In a disturbing display of ignorance, Maxi is pictured here kissing the dead young. This event was glamorized by WFLA News Channel 8 and NBC 6 South Florida as a miraculous catch, ignoring the severe impact on an endangered species.
@NOAAFisheries needs to step up and take responsibility for the conservation of these sharks by mandating their federal protection. The continued overfishing of Great Hammerheads can and will lead to their extinction.
Please reconsider supporting fishermen like Mark Quartiano and reach out to @NOAAFisheries to advocate for the revocation of licenses that allow targeting of internationally recognized endangered species.

Name an actor you used to like, but can't stand to watch on screen anymore because his or her political opinions are so ridiculous.
I'll start: Mark Ruffalo.
When Israel strikes, it's "national security" - when Palestine strikes back, it's "terrorism". Just like over two hundred years ago when native americans resisted their homeland being stolen, it was called "Indian Attack". Or like over a hundred years ago when Indian soldiers in the British Army revolted against the empire, in defense of their homeland, it was called "Sepoy Mutiny". #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸
BREAKING: CHILD HOSTAGE RELEASED TODAY AND SPEAKS ABOUT HAMAS
“From the moment the war began, we knew that we would leave [the prison]. When we were in prison, we weren’t worried because we knew that behind us are men, the honorable people of Gaza. The best people are those of the resistance, may Allah protect them.”
Reporting live: Hundreds of VCU students are walking out of classrooms and gathering outside Cabell Library for a planned protest in support of Palestine.
Stay tuned for more updates.
@NBC12 You and the other local news are bias. You left out the word Resort. Bias as you all are only focus on the Casino part. Forgetting that the GRAND will be bring world wide entertainment to Richmond.
The word "cis" is quite literally a scientific term / prefix in chemistry
"-In chemistry, the prefix “cis-” is added to the name of a molecule when two atoms or groups are situated on the same side of a plane of symmetry passing through the molecule, like a double bond between two carbon atoms."
Which is exactly why it's called cis-gendered when someone is the same sex as gender

In March 2022, Jordan DeMay tragically took his own life after falling victim to online extortion.
Engaging in what he believed was an online relationship with a woman, he was, in fact, communicating with a group of Nigerian scammers posing as her on an Instagram profile.
These scammers manipulated Jordan into sharing intimate photos and then threatened to leak them if he didn't pay $1000.
Unable to afford the full amount, Jordan sent $300 in small payments. When the scammers remained unsatisfied, he informed them of his intention to end his life. Shockingly, one of the scammers, Samuel Ogoshi replied “good, do that fast”.
In 2023, two Nigerian men behind the incident, Samuel Ogoshi, and Samson Ogoshi were extradited to the US after being indicted for running an international extortion ring.
@pitchfork One listen all the way through today and the main takeaway is very cool guitar and vocal production. Angry, Sweet Sound of Heaven and Rolling Stone Blues stayed with me. Missing that classic Charlie Watts swing, but it still rocks.
Exactly the sort of album you gift a middle-age, mid-divorce dad who’s flailing for direction in his post-split sports car

Israel has in one week dropped 6,000 bombs on Gaza, which has roughly the population and land mass of Queens, NY. And the Israeli intelligence people picking the targets are the same people who had no idea last week's attack was coming.
