Um, that definitely looks larger than a child’s hand. Unless that broom is child-sized?
The hand comparison is for a spider, not the centipede in the picture, which they are basically saying puts it to shame.
Oops! I was so distracted by that picture of the centipede and it momentarily frazzled my brain.
The spider the size of a child’s hand? No big deal. Large adult hand? Same thing. But a centipede the size of quarter? No, thank you! I think it has to do with the symmetrical layout of all of its legs. Barf.
Yeah, centipedes are really fucking gross. The worst amalgam of snakes and beetles possible. Urgh.
I see that many of the same people in the U.S. blaming Biden for gas prices are letting their mega/MAGA trucks idle while they shop because it’s cold outside.
Those same people were probably quite concerned about pharmaceutical industry profiteering throughout the pandemic as well. Meanwhile, petroleum industry profiteering makes the pharmaceutical industry look quaint by comparison, but no, it must be Biden’s fault.
A 42-year-old Yonkers man has been arrested on attempted murder as a hate crime and other charges in the vicious caught-on-camera beating of a 67-year-old Asian woman who was attacked as she returned home last week, police said Monday.
Cops responding to a call around 6:15 p.m. Friday for reports of a dispute found the victim bloodied in the vestibule of her building. The suspect, identified as Tammel Esco, was still outside.
According to the investigation, the victim simply passed by Esco on her way home and he yelled a racial slur at her. She ignored him.
Fucking hell that’s awful.
Thanks, Trump.
The replies make me full of rage:
I couldn’t bear reading that thread, and I couldn’t stop reading it.
I was well and truly an adult before I knew that I had been disabled all along, so none of my teachers were ever explicitly ableist to me… but almost all of them were implicitly so, and it came out in this way: they let me think that it was all my fault. It wasn’t even in what they believed, or what they said to me, so much as in what they let me think about myself.
The West’s megadrought will persist and may get worse in coming months. Water availability is a high concern

That is Pennsylvania’s actual motto.
