A 60kg sulcata tortoise was found floating down a rapid stream in a drainage canal. Passerbys leapt to the rescue and brought it home to warm it up and take it to the vet. Online announcements have been posted for the missing pet.

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch.
They're proposing to broadcast a man being shot to death, even if deserved by our system, and even if you agree with this version of the death penalty, knowing that the footage will be clipped, shared, and pushed into social media feeds.
Including those of our children. The gruesome image will be everywhere.
Parents will have virtually no control over whether their kids see it. Once those images are released, there is no taking them back.
Hope all the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that.

Since both political parties and the donor class decided today is Paramount Oligarch Day, it seems like a good moment to post this before it is erased from the world by the media overlords.
This scene was supposed to be a cautionary tale. It became America's dominant ideology.

🇹🇭 Meet the Englishman who became Thailand's top foreign monk.
From a working-class childhood in England to the top foreign-born monk in Thailand. Shaun Chiverton has become the first non-Thai to be elevated to rank of Somdet Phra Rachakhana -- the second-highest level in Thailand's monkhood.

NEW: McDonald's prices have doubled in the last ten years.
The profits have gone mostly to shareholders, who got nearly $40 billion in dividends over the past decade while customers suffer and workers are underpaid.
Here's how fast food is the latest victim of enshittification.

“Now, maybe this is just me, but losing your head of ethics, your head of safety and your head of preparedness around the same time that your laboratory is responsible for the worst A.I. safety, ethics and preparedness accident ever would seem like grounds for a congressional investigation.”
