Speaking of media literacy. Y'all be talking about Scooby Doo like it's a show about ghosts and ghouls. That shit was about capitalists using fear to turn a profit. Every episode. Contemporary Scooby inserts real supernatural elements, but real Scooby understands, the only real evil is capital.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Toad found a frying pan in the kitchen.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

We plan for it'

Finding a Sense of Place in the Discomfort of Cedar Fever A rush of allergy-inducing nostalgia welcomes a writer back to Central Texas

I'm gonna need just one lawyer to explain why Sheehy hasn't been arrested for assault. Because if I broke a Marines arm like that, I would have been arrested for assault.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

If you look at the list of peptides, one of the peptides on that list (Melanotan II) is one where my husband treated someone in the ER who lost the ability to speak in words for half a day after injecting it.

Hi. Yes. A couple of follow-ups:

1. What boots
2. From where
3. How are they getting there
4. How long are they going to stay there
5. How on Earth are you going to resupply them
6. If you're only doing limited JSOC-style capture/kill missions, who are you targeting and for what reasons

It's absolutely surreal how no one is talking about the Iran war in daily life. No one is discussing it and they seem oblivious. This conflict is spiraling and deteriorating in a way that it will substantially disrupt daily life for most of the world for the first time in decades.

I recently found this set of four photos in which someone was documenting their cat’s obsession with the television. No date/info.

Attacking a ship and killing 87 people based on what flag it's waving and not for any strategic or mission-related objective is pretty cut and dried

15 years ago if you complained about how the extraction class wanted to buy up the entirety of media and befuddle the electorate with right wing agitprop you'd be tsk-tsked by professional tutscolds who treated you like a toddler who just took a dookie on the wedding dance floor
