doing everything you can to kneecap renewable energy development and then immediately launching an illegal war that threatens non-renewables and may result in a catastrophic increase in energy prices is the republican party in a nutshell
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️
Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
I agree, but this poll is about how he is perceived by Americans, and we don't get all the internal political news, just his speeches on foreign policy where he has looked stronger than other European leaders, granted there is not much competition
In the US he is seen as the leader of Europe
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
I hope they're handwriting daily diaries in secret to save as they shelter each other 🕊
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.
Wow.
The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
One of my priors is that things are really bad if I am coming across news related to the bond market.
"The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority." -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” Martin Luther King Jr. outlined a strategy to expose the brutality of his opponents. Anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota are following his script—and it’s working, @galbeckerman.bsky.social argues:
While in solitary confinement in April 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote a nearly 7,000-word letter, smuggled out with the help of his lawyer. The Atlantic published it in its August 1963 issue, with the headline “The Negro Is Your Brother.” Read it here:
"mountain"! Quarry lakes?
At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,
Could happen, but right now China has been acting like a rational actor in the face of all this chaos.
I've been thinking about this too, what more powerful move could you do than show up and give communion.
HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED
that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks
Graham Platner is blunt, even proud, about how he’s benefitted from government programs. He went to college on the GI Bill. His healthcare is free—paid for by four tours in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Melt it down while you still can
He'll endorse AOC instead
