A nice, low-key (but nevertheless haunting) love story about a man spending what he knows to be his last day alive, reminiscing with dead loved ones and friends. Very short novella, I found this in my online library's holdings.
Check your local library to see if they offer Libby or Hoopla access.
The American people deserve justice
Play is serious work for children and everyone else too. 😻
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
The Wall Street Journal — Trump’s favorite cheerleader — reporting 92,000 jobs lost across a BROAD RANGE of sectors. This isn’t a liberal talking point.
This isn’t fake news.
This is his own people’s paper delivering the verdict.

Colbert just keeps getting better and better as people that want to come on the show and say they're goodbyes are starting to stack up John Lithgow and Michelle Pfeiffer next week..Jimmy Fallon as a guest was great tonight
MSM just doesn't care
What makes us think Noem wasn’t sacked because ICE wasn’t killing MORE innocent civilians.
as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,
this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID
What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.
Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.
Something must be done.
Sierra Nevada mountains just north of LA, CA, USA. Jagged snow covered peaks rise above green trees and a yellowish plain. A small blue lake peeks around a bend.

This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.
Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter
@hismajestyservice.bsky.social It is interesting. Not that long ago we did a programme on why do we like sad songs some of us. We had a music journalist who features quite a lot and has been a music journalist for a long time! He said that music reaches us in a way, where no other genre can :)
We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.
Remember:
This is all about the Epstein Files.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.
This is for sure: they won’t let the Dems win another election or they will all be prosecuted
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
