Never thought I’d see a Joseph Cornell Box in-person. This one is called For Chiarina. Beautiful. #josephcornellbox #cornellbox

@C_3C_3 Oh and dude on left is sporting a mullet. That is not class.

@C_3C_3 That poorly dressed, fake boob porn star style that chick on left wears is hilarious. Trash.

Jaxson Dart vs Abdul Carter That about sums it up…

@Soph_astro @esaspaceflight @Space_Station space hair!

Day 054, orbit 0835 – After the hunt for eggs, time to hunt down a few misconceptions! Here on the Station, because we’re in microgravity, things are not pulled downward like on Earth… and here’s a surprising fact: hair that naturally detaches doesn’t fall. 🧐 It stays with the rest of your hair. Other forces also come into play, such as the entanglement of hairs and even surface tension when the hair is wet! When I first arrived, I was wondering the same thing: would we see hair floating everywhere?! Well, as unexpected as it may sound: absolutely not! There isn’t even any in the hoodie I use as a pillow!!! Hair that sheds naturally only actually leaves the head when you brush it. I brush my hair twice a day, and I have never in my life collected so much hair on a brush. So don’t worry, there’s no hair floating all over the Station. And fun fact: hair isn’t the only thing that doesn’t fall… dust doesn’t either. It floats and gets trapped in the air‑duct filters until the weekly cleaning… and sometimes an astronaut’s long hair catches it before, like an improvised feather duster would catch it! The result? I’ve never had such dusty hair, and once again, it’s very obvious on the brush! Most of the time, I work with my hair tied back, as you can see in the timelapses and photos taken during working hours. But for communication activities, I like to let it loose to make microgravity visible. Watching the video playback always makes me laugh (sometimes even burst out laughing 🤣 when I discover my very own space hairstyle!) and I hope it brings a smile to your face too! 📷 @esa /@NASA #εpsilon

@discord Misleading. You’re still rolling it out. Too little, too late. I’ve nuked my servers and moved my people. Never coming back.

@EricGill426718 @JBPritzker @realDonaldTrump Cunty!

@JBPritzker @realDonaldTrump I heard Wendy's has a 5 for $3 deal on Baconators. Is this why you're demanding a refund for."the people"?

$1,700 per household. $8,679,261,600 total. We’re still waiting, @realDonaldTrump.

@nickshirleyy Oh my word. You ARE as stupid as you look. UPS is in ground floor of a residential building, halfwit.

🚨 Here at this UPS store in California over 30 people are registered to vote. It is illegal to list a PO Box as your domicile address (which appears on the voter roll). You can receive a ballot at a PO Box, but it cannot be the domicile address—which over 30 of them are, errors and suspected fraudulent activity is everywhere in California voter rolls. Even with obvious evidence California seems to not care about their voter rolls meanwhile you do not even need an ID to vote… how much fraud do you suspect in California?

@discord No. Just NO. You've already had a third-party data breach. You think we're going to let you get a second bite at messing up security and credit ratings? oh puh-leez

We’ve seen some questions about our age assurance update and we want to share more clarity. We know how important these changes are to our community. Here’s what we want you to know: ‣‣‣ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗗 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱. ‣‣‣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲. You need to be an adult to access age-restricted experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check. When additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. ‣‣‣ 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲.

We only use these signals to assign users to an age group when our confidence level is high; when it isn't, users go through our standard age assurance flow to confirm their age. We do not use your message content in the age estimation model.

They do not scan text messages, voice, or calls, and they are designed to support age-appropriate experiences while preserving private conversations. --------------- For more details check out our blog here: discord.com/safety/how-dis…

@discord Your inane age assurance update has provoked me to log in to complain at you. I don't want to be on this platform and now I'm not going to be on yours. I've notified all my younger relatives around the globe and they want to migrate. We will be going, going, gone.

@Chicago_History Upstairs had an art gallery and a semi-chill room. I remember when the main floor had big chairs à la Stop Making Sense. That it was a 4 am juice bar that for a short while also had aerobics classes during the day. I loved Medusa.

@NikoLeMieux So does that mean you've learned your lesson -- to be kind and not assume the worse of every person?

Yesterday as I was walking through Minneapolis with a friend I saw this Lexus parked terribly and commented to him: “get a load of this asshole’s terrible parking.” By complete serendipity, as if the universe itself was saying "be kinder with your spoken thoughts," right at that moment I heard a voice say “hey that’s my car, ICE grabbed me, I’m so sorry!” come from the passenger of a Jeep slowly passing by; the Jeep driver said she was the sister of the Lexus’ owner and that the two of them had just come back from picking her up from Federal detention. I went to go talk to the Lexus’ driver, but first I read the note on the windshield: “THIS WOMAN WAS TAKEN BY ICE. Please don’t hit or tow.” Neighbors put that there, and put a tarp over the window that ICE broke open so snow wouldn’t get in. The Lexus driver, a short, brown haired white woman told me she lived in the area and was driving through looking for parking, when armed ICE agents speedily blocked off the street in front of her, and swarmed the white pickup truck in front of her grabbing its driver. She said people came from throughout the neighborhood with whistles to record them grabbing that driver, and as she was trying to leave, ICE agents swarmed her vehicle as well and proceeded to open her window and door and remove her from her car, slamming her facedown in the street. She said a Federal agent entered her vehicle and parked it like this, before taking her away. I don’t know the story of the pickup driver. I'll be honest, I didn't really believe what I was hearing at first until she showed me the video that a neighbor filmed, confirming the whole story. I asked her to airdrop it to me so I could make this post. This woman was just driving and minding her business one moment, and the next she was snatched, she told me that they said she was "obstructing an investigation." After 24 hours in Federal custody, they released her with only the white shirt she was wearing when I met her, into the -8F cold where her sister was waiting, and they didn't give her back her car keys. She came to make sure her vehicle was still there. There's a lot of people on this platform making all sorts of excuses for the Federal government's despicable behavior in Minneapolis, but what it comes down to is this: they are out of control. They are Out. Of. Control. This woman's story that I saw firsthand is emblematic of the institutional rot at the core of DHS, CBP, and ICE. The agents involved in both shootings this month were 8- and 10-year veterans, not untrained amateurs. There have been three homicides in Minneapolis thus far in 2026- 66% of them have been US citizens murdered by the Federal government. My city is being subjected to a full-fledged occupation by lawless, unprofessional, un-American thugs. They have gone far beyond their stated mission of removing violent criminals and illegal aliens. They have all of us looking at every SUV, every vehicle with out-of-state plates, every vehicle with more than 2 men in it with caution, scrutiny, and concern. Many of my friends have bought guns or have gone to get their conceal carry permits, to stay safe from their own government because it's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six. Minneapolis will survive this and will come out stronger for it, because we learned in 2020 that there's no one coming to save us, it's up to us to show up for our friends and neighbors. But people need to know that if the Federal government are doing this to us: You're not safe. You're next.

@north0fnorth I grew up in Lincoln Park when there was light industry and ironworks running up from Clybourn from North to Addison. That's the kind of mixed use I prefer and liked. Empty spaces is where are art used to get created, like the theater scene of 80s & 90s.

they should delete everything here and replace it with a bunch of mixed-use towers. really embarrassing to have this giant crater of nothing that begins only a quarter mile from the sears tower

@dieworkwear He sees you for the legend you are. Kudos.

@jadel4w I would love to stay connected and I do have bluesky! I'll find you.

@midnightbakerNZ awhhh your posts here were so good. please tell me you have a bluesky? I would love to stay connected!

@jadel4w - I’d sent a DM but I’m not making a passcode when I’m exiting in hours With upcoming changes in the TOS - locking future litigation to a specific friendly court, I’m appalled enough to leave I enjoyed your book & wish you luck. See you around. またね

@michaelhitack Your school attendance is not relevant. Nothing you said was elegant to the Archbishop spoke of. Except that you think that rich white guys are important or something.

My response to His Grace, Archbishop Sample.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Jaipur Mansarovar last weekend as a family. We had 8 rooms booked. On Monday evening (Jan 12, around 6:30–7:30 pm), two hotel staff members used a master key to enter one of our rooms (3808). The room had already been cleaned. No one had asked for housekeeping. No one had been informed. My 6-year-old niece walked in right after and found two unknown adults inside the room. She ran out crying. They were not wearing name badges, so we couldn’t even identify who they were. Just think about it, what if someone had been in the shower, changing clothes, or asleep? What if personal belongings had gone missing? What if my niece had gone missing? What if my niece were alone in the room and sexually assaulted by these men? How is it acceptable for anyone to walk into an occupied hotel room like this? What made it worse is that the hotel knew our family was heading out for dinner at that time and that most of our rooms would be empty. When we asked what happened, we were met with shrugs and vague answers about “protocol.” The people we were dealing with, Naveen Singh, security supervisor and Akshay, refused to tell us who the staff were or why they entered. The hotel also refused to share CCTV footage of the incident. Akshay told us that the General Manager, Naveen Yadav, had said, “toh kya ho gaya agar enter ho gaye.” (So what if they entered?) A child walked into a room with two unknown adults inside, and this was the response. This is what pissed us off the most. Not just that it happened, but how casually everyone treated it. Like, this was no big deal. We’re not living in some ideal world. We hear about child sexual abuse, child trafficking, assault, all the time. Parents are already anxious about where their kids are, who they’re around, and what spaces are actually safe. Why were two staff members inside an occupied room? What were they doing there? Who sent them? Under what rule can someone walk into a family’s private space without permission? Why was the hotel justifying it? And till now - no answers. no explanation. no CCTV. no accountability. no apology that means anything. If you’re travelling with family, especially with kids, I would seriously think twice before staying at Hyatt. @Hyatt @hyattjaipur @HyattConcierge @agoda @agodaindia

@CBSNews He got a boo-boo? Little bruise? Cuts that’s what minor internal bleeding is.

BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

@JohnBarrowman Now you’re complaining about free publicity? Tell them to remove you. But it’s not about you, yeah? It’s about your character. Jeeesh.

Wow…for a long time you wanted nothing to do with me??

@ThatoneQueen3 You didn’t actually watch KPDH did you? At its root, all music borrows from other cultures so your whinging is baffling.

KPDH borrowing from black culture and then winning over black art is starting to unfortunately color my view of the movie a bit. Like let’s me serious. This isn’t the best original song. The biggest yeah, but not the best.

@gatx_negrx I feel the same about your opinions so we are even.

Guys I don’t care about your opinions lmfao

No shade but one of these films is a masterpiece the other one is an incredibly well made well acted well shot well paced film. And there is a difference.
