That's an isopod. "rolly poly" they live in nature under logs and leaves. Inside of a house it could mean there is a moisture problem since they need a moist environment, but they aren't directly harmful and are not interested in human food so don't pose much of a risk for a pantry.

@KanaMauna

I have not found any evidence of anyone organically upset at what he said. This is manufactured. The public didn’t cry out at his jokes — some owner just thought this was the moment to try to earn favor.

@KanaMauna I still think he should go to Austin.

@jpaskaruk

I’ve long suspected that “mainstream” outlets are more hollowed out than they admit. I don’t know anyone who watches television or cable. I know more people with zero streaming subscriptions than ever before. But I’m biased I’ve been deeply tuned out for years now. I used to have a New York Times subscription. Used to watch shows. I just can’t anymore.

@deweyritten i’m typing with one finger please be patient

This is like the old Miracle Whip advertisement that said “We will not tone it down.”

Jimmy Kimmel is taco bell mild sauce political commentary and jokes, I suppose he should head on down to Austin and demand the stage. he has earned it far more than many there who only had a mean essay written about them.

@babelcarp

Was this during school hours?

The one bit missing is real public outcry. All of the outrage is coming from the white house and to flinch so obviously at such mild political criticism makes them look weak. It will make the media seem even more out of touch and inauthentic and the exodus from TV and cable to podcasts and streaming will continue.

Six million people watched a Candice Owens video full of conspiracy and nonsense on Kirk. Is that a victory for the right? 3/3

Part of this is about retribution. People on the right have seething with anger for years as they watched people lose their job for saying racist, homophobic, sexist or otherwise bigoted things. They have never felt this was reasonable and now to slander the Trump regime by questioning the sincerity of its mourning is the new n-word.

I think back on people who lost their jobs for not supporting the Iraq war in the early days after 9/11.

Recent changes in the boundaries of acceptable public speech have a lot of people talking about the first amendment. I think this is a mistake.

Free speech absolutism isn’t a real thing. With very rare exceptions, everyone has limits. You would not have a kindergarten teacher who swore like a sailor.

The problem isn’t “free speech” nor is it hypocrisy: it’s that some on the right are trying to change the boundaries in radical harmful ways.

here is a us pol easy action item.

@ketmorco @serenity

Yes. Add a million more and things will get better I promise.

@serenity

I really want to think they just don't understand the permanence of violence. That some actions can never be taken back or corrected.

It's harder to accept that some some people do understand it fully and its what they want.

@serenity

There are too many guns and it's too easy for any angry or lost person to get their hands on one.

And some people don't value the lives of others, or they don't understand the permanence of violence. This bold experiment where we are neck deep in guns is not working very well at all.

@bottled_o_taki

falconers are people who train and keep birds of prey. It's a whole sport.

"the falcon cannot hear the falconer" is how T. S. Eliot described the breakdown of society.

But what if the bird had better things to do?
