A baby Pallas cat was born in the Helsinki Zoo and you need to look at him. LOOK AT HIM

Having a thread about a stone age girl going viral and having a thread about the fashion industry going viral makes me want to do a thread connecting both of these subjects to talk about one of my favorite prehistoric articles of clothing: the Lendbreen Tunic.

This is Geoff. He's lucky to be in a household that values sleepiness over cleanliness. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Texas GOP legislature voted last night to give Republican secretary of state power to take over elections in state’s largest blue county, Houston’s Harris County, & abolish election administrator position there. This is incredibly undemocratic power grab motherjones.com/politics/2023/…

YOOOOOO

Long story short, a trans woman said "Oh I'll just wipe my hands on my jeans" to someone in the ladies toilet, and they went running to the Daily Mail to allege that she said "I'll wipe my hands on my penis". Embarrassing, gutter journalism.

I can’t believe George Santos said he played Data.

@hankgreen Michael Hobbes and you doing a podcast would be fascinating.

For co-hosts I’m thinking it could be anyone from an Internet personality to a comedian to a public intellectual to a subject-matter expert. I have a couple of thoughts of who I’d be excited about, but I’m interested in yours!! Also, if you have ideas for names!!

Here’s my idea for a podcast I want to do. 6-10 episode seasons, each one co-hosted by a different person who has a big question. How do people’s minds change? Can we treat diabetes better? Will America ever have good trains?

I feel like people don't talk enough about how James Bond is controlled by the Broccoli family, of broccoli fame. they're not named after broccoli, broccoli is named after them!!!!!!!!

Can't believe they are going to make a MAN queen. This woke nonsense has gone too far.

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives. It began with a heart attack 🧵

In rural America, the quality of maternal health care (measured by the number of women who die) is about the same as Syria's. This is the reason why. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Some thoughts on Peter Singer's lack of moral and epistemic humility, and the dangers of conceptualizing "the poor" as in need of masculine white technocratic saviorism. katemanne.substack.com/p/against-swoo…

I read this over Shabbos. Of course, I already had a fairly good idea what was in it. But in the interests of not bloviating emptily, I printed all 283 pages of syllabus, opinion, concurrences, dissent, appendices (double-sided, if you speak for the trees), and brought them home.

The What We Do in the Shadows press conference has suffered a zoom error so every reporter in the zoom is named "Stephen" and there's no way to change it so they have to just keep calling out "Stephen" and hope someone answers this is the best thing that's happened in weeks

Happy Passover to all who celebrate!
