The number of survivors of the U.S. atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is dwindling 80 years later, but they are increasingly speaking out against nuclear weapons.

Rest in peace, Tom Lehrer. "Oh, we will all char together when we char And let there be no moaning of the bar Just sing out a Te Deum When you see that ICBM And the party will be come-as-you-are" youtu.be/frAEmhqdLFs?...

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen. This is madness.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

But not in Sheldon, IA, am I right @rushthewriter.bsky.social?

Always a good time to make art, but rarely a better time than now. Stay strong. Hold true. Keep making. 🦑🤝🦑

Dear manager: 1. I have eaten the plums 2. That were in the icebox 3. And which you were probably saving for breakfast 4. Forgive me they were delicious 5. So sweet and so cold

These layoffs are happening with zero publicity or transparency to keep them out of the press. I have only seen a few of these reports trickle out regionally. Everything else I know is secondhand from friends. iowastatedaily.com/310407/news/...

Invasive species are dangerous to our country's ecosystem. This lizard is also a problem.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday, for all who celebrate!

The world is better with you in it. Yes, you. Keep your chin up. Light and kindness are still out there.

Elon Musk wanting to dismantle the #USAID is starting to make sense. Just pure unmitigated revenge by “Apartheid Clyde.”

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I live in Ag country. You can’t even imagine how many signs I passed saying, “Farmers for Trump.” This graph was posted by Iowa Democratic Representative, JD Sholten.

Kim do a Juche Bird so we can have a distraction from all of this

You said you want to protect women but you really want to make transgender people disappear You said you want to protect the unborn but you really want to control women You said you want to limit government but you really want government to suppress things you don’t like

BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze. That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

So how’s it going so far?

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

ctrl-c ctrl-v, done reverently enough, is a copy rite

I obtained a high-res version of the Daghlian "demon core" experimental setup, and have since added it to Wikimedia Commons, so now the world can stop using low-res photos of it. I find that when I look at it, I'm obsessed with identifying the "seam" between the two hemispheres for some reason...

if you gaze long into a demon core, the demon core also gazes into you

The number one movie at the box office on your 10th birthday is how 2025 will turn out for you. Uhhh, I hope there aren't any more insurrections but I will follow Picard.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

We are excited to see the first #WeatherPeen of the year!
