Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.
Hey Bluesky family! I live in a Senior Assisted Living facility. Many residents do not have visitors. Please, if you have time, volunteer a few hours a week just to come hang out, and visit with people. It’s good for them, and it’ll be great for your spirit. Kindness costs nothing. Please repost.
Absolutely cannot wait to see this. And so excited to see Mia Sara back onscreen!!
Awake
In darkness,
future obscured,
the search
the search
is infinite for #clarity,
In darkness,
past haunts,
the hope
the hope
Is eternal for peace,
In darkness,
absent of distraction,
the self
the self
is all that’s found.

The very first clip of COSMOS—this is where it all began. A voyage from the shores of Earth's oceans to the infinite expanses of the Milky Way, Andromeda, and beyond.
Thank you, Carl, for taking us on this journey. We remain forever in your debt.
Debunked, half-true, and deeply ableist. RFK Jr. knows shockingly little about autism.
Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
My two personalities in one nest:
1. Sitting quietly in thought
2. Chaos muppet scream-singing Broadway show tunes

Is this what they meant by a Red Wave?
A word about Conan O’Brien, who I’m lucky enough to know a little bit.
He is extremely funny and has drawn people to him his whole life by his talent.
But he is also amazingly kind, generous and collaborative. He gave dozens of people a start or a second chance.
What’s Irish for mensch?
The powers of femininity used for good. I had no idea until today about the heroic extents Marlene Dietrich went to during WWII and against the Nazis/Hitler. Go look it up!
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

One of the funniest men who ever lived, who was also one of the sweetest men who ever lived, was born on this day and we all miss you like crazy, Gilbert.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.
“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.
“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Little powwow dancer. In her first powwow regalia. She’s absolutely adorable — wouldn’t you agree?
Happy 70th, you glorious, good-hearted weirdo/genius. Miss you. 💔💔💔
Or buy from a Ukrainian business!! :)
Koko, the gorilla spoke about 1,000 words in sign language and understood about 2000 English words. She was an avid fan of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. When Fred Rogers went to meet Koko for his show, she wrapped her arms around him & she took off his shoes, as he did on screen.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.
Anyway -
GO BUY SOMETHING FROM THE UKRAINE TODAY. #ukraine
Had an idea to share. Today, 2/28, is corporate blackout day. Support a small business.
So, I just bought an item long-needed for my event business from a Ukrainian seller online. It’s beautiful, well-made, will make lots of kiddos and families happy, and is incredibly fairly priced to boot.
If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.
If you think the headline is good, you should read the copy.
Me going to cons in 50 years.
It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.
I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.
Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
