Lio Cundiff — who can't swim — was out for a walk when strong winds blew a stroller with a baby inside into the lake Wednesday. He jumped in
Further to that post about humans pack-bonding, there's a GoFundMe up to help with medical bills for a guy who jumped into the freezing Lake Michigan this week to save a baby whose stroller was blown into the lake. It's at 12k out of 18k right now.
movies about apocalypses: it’s every man for himself!! you can’t trust anyone, it’s a wasteland of solo travelers and sad families, we’re alone out here
humans irl: *pack bond with strangers*
*pack bond with large carnivores*
*pack bond with robots in space thousands of miles away*
Apocalypse preppers who fantasise about all our artificial rules and governments falling away in times of chaos seem to forget that we invented those rules and governments. Over and over. When you put humans near each other, they group up and make a society; that’s why those governments exist. Do they think we magically stop doing that in dangerous situations? Because… we don’t.
hopepunk doesn’t have time for your racist doomsday hard-on, carl.
Via NPR...
---------------------- LAGO DI TESERO, Italy — A local dog made a bid for Olympic glory Wednesday morning, breaking out of his doghouse and onto the homestretch of the cross-country ski course in the middle of a race.
Two-year-old Nazgul was quickly collared by race officials and returned unharmed to his home at a nearby bed-and-breakfast, but not before his genial presence lit up television sets and social media channels around the world — even if he perplexed some of the athletes who encountered him.
"I was like, 'Am I hallucinating?" said Tena Hadzic, a 21-year-old Croatian skier who encountered the dog on her trip down the homestretch.
But his owners connected with NPR for a brief interview while they were driving to watch an Olympic biathlon race at another venue.
"He was crying this morning more than normal because he was seeing us leaving — and I think he just wanted to follow us," said the owner, "He always looks for people."
Nazgul is a "stubborn, but very sweet" Czechoslovakian wolfdog, the owner said.
Race organizers did not make Nazgul available for questions after his capture. -------------------
My favorite part was showing the Omega photo finish.
And this is why I unironically think we should teach Protocols and Mein Kampf in schools.
People can’t know if something quacks like a duck if they’ve never been taught that ducks say quack.
To every Jewish person reading this, I hope one specific thing in your life gets tangibly, materially better within the next six months.
Like, whatever is the first thing that comes to mind for you, I hope it is resolved, gets better, improves.
I care about you and I am rooting for you.

ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me
many people in these notes are revealing how they truly don't believe afab people are capable of beating amab people at Any sports due to their fragile bird bones delicate skin and and trying to make it seem like i'm feeding afab people to lions in the coliseum. you people are not only wrong but more importantly you are Stupidt
On International Holocaust Memorial Day, remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children who were targeted for simply being Jewish and had their lives stolen by hatred, and the millions of others caught up in the Nazi genocide machine in their desire for a Jew free world.
They failed. As every empire throughout history who tried. They failed. The Jewish people live, proud and strong.
And now more than ever, in this time of ever rising and appalling antisemitism, where it has again become ubiquitous and normalised, where ancient blood libels and conspiracy theories have taken on a new and modern twist for the social media age, where Jews being murdered and assaulted and abused are met with justification, a shrug of the shoulders and victim blaming, we must stand with them, and speak out against antisemitism in every insidious form it comes in. Zero tolerance. Because history knows where it leads.

listen i'm not advocating for exotic animals as pets, but i really just feel like cheetahs are probably different
i feel like we need to give them another shot as housebeasts
this is a critter who wants greenies and then to take a nap on the couch next to me, and i KNOW it
cheetah in House perfec t size for put inside! inside very Soft and Comfort cheetah sleep soundly put cheetah in House. Put Cheetah In House. no problems ever in cheetah in ho use because good Happy and Satisfy for human where sleep. House yes a place for a cheetah put cheetah in house can trust cheetah for giveing good love to humans in house. friend cheetah
I mean, as someone who as worked in a zoo, this is fairly true.
Obvious disclaimer that you shouldn't have wild animals as pets.
But like, cheetahs are the only large cats that keepers will do free contact with. Hell, even most small cats don't get free contact. (Because small cats can be VICIOUS. They'll have a baby pallas cat wearing thicker gloves than when handling an owl. Because small cats can just be vicious.)
Like I think the only other cat at our zoo where I've seen free contact with was servals? Because I know they've used servals in shows to demonstrate their natural jumping ability. But I know servals can sometimes have a mean temper as well. Meanwhile they'll do the cheetah run and afterwards put the mic by the cheetahs and it's just like an engine with them purring. It's fascinating to watch when the message in every other large animal is "no free contact because it's dangerous even when they're born in captivity".
Legit if any wild animal could be adapted to a pet it would be cheetahs lmao. Only problem is they can be skittish and very anxious and that's why they're often raised around dogs in zoos to gain confidence.
congrats, i award you funniest take on this post
[After shoveling the driveway for hours] Snow should be illegal [remembers I'm against the carceral state] We should restructure society so that snow doesn't happen [remembers we are actually doing that and it's very bad and also why this snowfall was so bad] Uh-oh
We should demand infrastructure designed to minimize the impact of snow, like domed and steeply-pitched roofs, covered parking spaces, functional municipal plowing, etc...
i dont want a childproofed internet i am almost 30 fucking years old. give your kid an internet safety talk and stop making it the problem of every adult on the planet every time some cryptkeeper legislator gets the brilliant idea (via conservative lobbying) to push through yet another bill gutting our access to free expression + increasing the powers of the surveillance state + lining the pockets of Big Data in the name of Protecting The Kids they wont even feed. this shit is exhausting i can’t believe we’re going to be fighting about it for the rest of my life
ICE now tackling press.
Source.
Interview where he talks about what happened.
A photographer for Getty isn't even a journalist so much as an archivist. ICE violently disrupted the apolitical documentation of what they were doing, violating any and all rights that might flimsily stand in their way. It would have been just as wrong had they done this to an MSNBC reporter hellbent on a spin, but now Abernathy's neutral action as a photographer has been rendered necessarily political by ICE's violence.
They know what they're doing is objectively evil. They have no intention of stopping.
previous tags from @nihilisticspacequeer, which provide a bit of context for why Abernathy threw his (extremely expensive) camera
they got way more on camera too. lookit this shit. source
they knock him down from behind, they're kneeling on him, and they've set off tear gas. his arms are pinned under him and he can't breathe. look at this photo of his face.
I'm gagging and literally thought I’m going to pass out. I couldn’t breathe. I was thinking I only have a couple of breaths left and I don’t know what’s going to happen after that. I had taken that last shot and I threw my camera. I lifted my head up and saw one photographer taking photos. I threw my camera and then I threw my phone.
this last picture is his camera on top of his citation.
but the insane thing? yk how he said
I had taken that last shot and I threw my camera.
THIS IS THE LAST SHOT
THIS is the photo he took before he threw his camera. how poignant.
check out the article source too, it's a really good read.
[ID: image 1: Twitter/X post by maddie/@madsssagascar. It's a picture of text that reads: "Karl Stojka. 'It was not Hitler, Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, or whatever the others were called, who had me dragged away and beaten. No, it was the cobbler, the neighbour, the old man, the milkman, the postman, those without form suddenly given armbands and a cap on their heads and them they were the master race.'" The post is in response to Markwayne Mullin/@SenMullin's post that reads: "Ice agents aren't Disney villains. They're our neighbours, friends, and loved ones. These immigration and customs enforcement officers are red-blooded American patriots doing a tough job to keep our nation safe. A..." the rest of the post is cut off.
Image 2: Mario napolitano/@Mars1 (the rest of username is cut off) 's reply to madsssagascar. It's an image of text that reads: "'Nice people made the best Nazis. My mum grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than "politics". They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbours were dragged away. You know who aren't nice people? Resistors. ' -Naomi Shulman"
Didn't have "see your political action philosophy expressed by Jorts the cat" on my 2025 bingo card.
All cats are anarchists.
Probably like 80% of cat owners are also anarchists.
Fill every drawer in the U.S. Treasury with glitter and a note that says Go to Hell.
