Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Japan has been collecting data on the date of peak cherry tree blossom since 812

See if you can spot climate change...

For those too young to remember, there was a brief time during the mid 90s when every children's cartoon made sure all ethnicities were represented: Black, White, Racially Ambiguous, Ginger, Nerd (cool), Nerd (dorky), Wheelchair, and Talking Animal. MLK's dream made real.

Never in my life will I understand how a debate on TV could mean more than an insurrection on the capital

An incredible piece of journalism.

Confronting hate, Nashville reporter Phil Williams tells neo-Nazis to their faces: "When I look at you guys, I do not think master race." https://t.co/qWunOw23TS

Congresswoman @AOC just did a nearly hour long live where she shared her grave concerns with replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.

Here’s the full video minus the very short intro she did on other work she is doing at the moment.

Conservatives said "judges should not make policy" and "should issue decisions as narrowly as possible."

"Instead, the Court granted cert on the widest grounds" and said, “We’re writing a rule for the ages.”

i find it really intriguing how the south’s student activism never gets as much media attention as other regions. day 28 of Vanderbilt’s encampment and i only read about it being the first university to start one YESTERDAY.

“people have moved on from seatbelts so we recommend not wearing them. everyone’s moved on, so yeah”

[leo of arakko says 🔺RESIST🔺 @arakkosuperstar]

another thing that’s annoying about this “teens don’t hang out outside anymore” discourse is that the world is noticeably more hostile when it comes to teens, ESPECIALLY BLACK TEENS, existing in spaces unsupervised, especially if they aren’t spending money. but yeah. the phones.

Etsy as a platform is an excellent example of what @doctorow has called "enshittification." Its reputation was built by artists & crafters and is now full of drop-shipped and AI-generated crap, often stealing from the very artists who made the platform popular.

@Ploodie1 @broderick @TaylorLorenz How are they supposed to coordinate meetups without texting their friends? Where are they going to go when they're outside? Are they just going to stand in the apartment parking lot or your 20 sq ft yard? Do their friends even live within walking distance? Be real.

@DarkWilbo @broderick @TaylorLorenz There literally isn't a single park in my city that wouldn't require at least an hour to walk to from my house. And there aren't any sidewalks between me and the closest park, anyway. And my neighborhood is better than many others I can think of here.

@broderick @TaylorLorenz I even noticed this in my thirties. It sucks.

[Frank Conniff @FrankConniff]

@KillerMartinis It seems to be satire, fortunately
