Today was a brilliant day, for two reasons:
1. The new #TheVeils album came out
2. My favourite podcast (Knowledge Fight) gave me a shoutout. I am now a Policy Wonk.
Erotic Mythology 🌹It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
Did you know that #Dionysos was happily married? #Ariadne, sister of the Minotauros & lover of Theseus, ended up married to the god. The stories of how they got together vary. One account tells of them having a fling before Theseus even set foot on Crete and how Dionysos offered the starry crown of Corona Borealis in exchange for love's embrace.

🏳️🌈🖖🏽Joe Biden showed last night that he is more than capable of taking on the extremist GOP and even getting them to support bedrock earned entitlements like Social Security. What a masterful stroke that was! I'm proud to stand with him.
Chad LoderTwitter, which recently suspended my account and the accounts of several other journalists, is allowing a verified account to post recruitment videos urging American soldiers to join Russia's Wagner Group PMC, a neo-Nazi linked paramilitary organization designated as a transnational criminal organization by the US government.

This new research in @PNASNews suggests earth will cross the 1.5 degrees C temperature increase threshold in the next decade (within just 10 to 15 years) and is likely to exceed 2 degrees C by around 2060.
This should be THE lead story on the news today (and onwards) and the lead action point for our governments. It should trigger a massive call for real global action to combat the #climateemergency - sadly though I fear this news will barely register.
We have to stop believing the siren calls of future technology solutions and #carbonoffsets - the immediate need is a rapid end to the use of #fossilfuels and a massive rollout of #renewableenergy
Hurting a #greyhound gets less consequences than hurting people’s wallets.
A trainer feeding their hounds coffee only got a 3 month suspension.
jd 🔆 Account moved March 22 2026 to ottawa.placeThis exquisite piece, Löwenmensch, or Lion Person, is the oldest statue ever discovered, carbon dated at a whopping 35,000-41,000 years old.
About 30 cm high and carved from a mammoth tusk using a flint stone, it was found in 1939 in a cave near Baden Baden, Germany.
Modern archeologists took 370 hours to recreate the statue using the same materials and tools known to have been used originally.
No one knows its purpose, nor the significance of the grooves in the left arm.
