@markscherz do you know what type of frog this is? I can't tell if its a small adult or a baby frog.

[markscherz]

This is a juvenile Chacophrys pierottii, arguably the most comically proportioned frog ever. Here is an adult. If I had not taken this photo myself I would think it’s some kind of ridiculous meme render.

These are also the frogs that bury themselves in a backwards spiral that is seriously relatable.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cuts.

In the spring, the Trump administration abruptly cut $500 million in deliveries from a program that sends U.S.-produced meat, dairy, eggs and produce to food banks and other organizations across the country — about a quarter of the funding the program received in 2024. The items that were delivered through The Emergency Food Assistance Program were some of the healthiest, most expensive items that organizations distribute.

The cancellation of these deliveries comes at a critical time for food banks. Food insecurity is higher than at any time since the aftermath of the Great Recession, according to federal data, and many food banks are reporting higher need than they saw at the peak of the pandemic. Demand is only expected to increase; this summer, President Donald Trump signed into law the largest cut to food stamps in the program’s history.

And this is exactly why they hate fact checking.

Fire trucks are not being turned away because of emissions. They are being sent first to a checkpoint to get an inspection and maintenance check, because traveling long distances can cause things to come loose on fire trucks. Most are cleared immediately for use; those that aren't are fixed and sent out to the fire lines as soon as possible. Why is this important? Because a fire truck breaking down while on the line puts everyone in danger. If a truck breaks down, the crew could be over taken by the flames and die. I've seen fires where it's happened and I never want to see it again. No help will be turned away, the state just wants to make sure they are safe.

This is why they must always be FORCED to pay their share of taxes. They will never pay voluntarily.

Reading rahaeli's bsky feed is an education in itself. I did not realize it was so common for undercover agents to join even harmless social activism groups and try to encourage people to do things they could be arrested for. The song has about a dozen verses, all of them based on incidents that resulted in felony charges o.O

The whole thread is very worth reading, especially since the incoming administration has been been very clear that they want to criminalize being trans or supporting trans rights. (Among other things.)

due to some Family Circumstances, I literally grew up being told "if someone at the meeting says they know where to get dynamite*, that's the fed"

*sometimes 'guns', which is also true.

Favorite thing about the Red Note shenanigans: Mongolian ranchers suddenly gaining a rabid following of American horse girls and being like "we knew you had cowboys but we didn't know you value and love horses as friends like we do, this is excellent"

Mongolian rancher 🤝 American horse girl synergy I guess

You know, if CEOs want me to really care about CEOs getting killed by guns, maybe we shouldn't have spent the last couple decades making the US so numb to absolutely horrifying gun violence. I have reached the point where I can not cry when another round of kids in school are murdered with guns. No wonder I can feel vaguely amused when a sleazy millionaire who built his career off denying human rights and dignity is being murdered.

That being said, I don't want to be in charge of ranking who is most worthy of life and making the call on choosing who lives and dies.

Hmmm....You know who does want to be in charge of that?
