There's a fence to keep you safe, and those people are definitely on the wrong side of it. Some people will do anything to get closer to the sun.

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg called the Trump White House's bluff, and published all the explosive details (paywall) about a private Signal group chat that, contrary to administration LIES, did indeed contain sensitive military strike plans.

They called him a liar. He posted the receipts.

Shit is flying.

NEW HAMMERHEAD SHARK JUST DROPPED

Not every day does a new shark get discovered! Meet the Shovelbill Shark (Sphyrna alleni), a newly described species of hammerhead shark named after Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul Allen. This new species is found in the coastal waters of the Caribbean and southwest Atlantic.

Hammerhead sharks are easily recognized by their laterally expanded and dorsoventrally compressed heads. Genetic studies have revealed that what was once thought to be a single bonnethead species (Sphyrna tiburo) is actually a complex, with Sphyrna alleni now recognized as a separate species. A longtime advocate for wildlife conservation, Paul Allen and his Paul G. Allen Family Foundation supported Global FinPrint, an international survey of the world’s reef sharks and rays. It was during this project that scientists conducted much of the fieldwork necessary to describe this newly recognized species. The Shovelbill Shark is smaller than the bonnethead, with distinct genetic and morphological characteristics, including a different number of vertebrae, which suggest it is separate from other hammerhead species. This new species is distributed from Belize to Southern Brazil, inhabiting estuaries, coral reefs, sandy and muddy bottom beds, seagrasses, and mangroves.

The Shovelbill Shark is a common component of artisanal fisheries in many Latin American countries and currently lacks proper management or protection. Previous reports indicate that this new species is undergoing overexploitation, making it imperative to safeguard their populations and establish fisheries regulations.

“Their long-form journalism has stayed on point for years, long after most publications abandoned anything longer than 1,000 words, so it’s a real shame. It’s Mother Jones for me from now on. That, or I try n+1. I’ve been hearing really good things about it from Hegseth.” At press time, a frustrated Trump was reportedly trying to get around The Atlantic’s paywall to read an article about Ali Smith’s new novel, Gliff.

I have waited

Paralyzed by my own will

Viciously reminding me still

I'm born to believe

Based on a fic I'm currently reading, their last chapter got to me 😭 "The Love You Want" written by @//ticklemeemo

I have seen the word "signal" too many times today already and thus I ran to the Death Generator by @foone of course.
