It’s. The. Guns.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

Chicago.

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

Attacks leave dead vs killed

"PROTECT THE KIDS"

"Oh cool we're doing common sense gun control and better mental healthcare and more third spaces for children to BEGIN dealing with the issue of school shootings?"

"What? No. I need adults to give me their name and address and a photo of their face and ID to look at art boobs"

Short stuff MarkWayne Mullins accidentally finds a few phone books under his feet, certainly an antifa plot to discredit his micro manliness

He couldn’t find the little stool he uses to seem taller at podiums; if he’d had it handy, he would’ve definitely gone to help secure the entrance…

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

I really am in love with the VW Buzz - but really I’d be down with any EV or PHEV instead of the gas ones we have…

Y’all need this song in your day today. It’s adorable - he grew up listening to his grandparents music, and now they star in his music video 🥰

Thanks for this blast from the past - great memories!

One of those handy “oh, bless your heart” times…

Great shot!

Two pacifist cats on a blanket, each with a paw extended in solidarity and protest to yet another war, this time waged by our “Bored of Peace” administration…

Raise a paw if you don’t want to go to war with another country… 😢 a sad #caturday

I’d love to hear Iran condemn what we’re doing here in the US.

Abolish Ice AND The State of the Union.

😂😭😭 love it

So funny and so well written. Watched it when it started and then trailed off - need to finish it

Why do people from Wisconsin (and from other places maybe) assume it’s WI? Haven’t visited there (yet) and just curious

This is amazing.

image showing Halvemaansteeg, Amsterdam, then and now. Top: black-and-white photo from 1979 with cars and a taxi dominating a narrow street, people squeezed onto small pavements. Bottom: modern colour photo of the same street, now car-free with a child cycling on the cycleway

Halvemaansteeg & Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam in 1979 and today.

From car-choked streets with little space for people to a lively car-free area with only trams, pedestrians & bikes permitted. Cafes and outdoor seating dominate the area.

A reminder to politicians: design streets for the city you want.

Her live set on KCRW a while ago was incredible and you can still find it on YT or their site somewhere… ❤️❤️🔥🔥

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

The kids at Dilley were drawing pictures of the horrendous conditions they’re being subjected to in the ICE camps.

They were documenting atrocities.

They were ensuring a historical record.

So the regime took their crayons away from them.

Hilary Clinton, who has never met Epstein, is being forced to testify to congress. Melania, on the other hand, isn't. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
