HEY THEY STOLE MY JOKE

The last few Pleione’s in flower for this year. This is Pleione Wendy Whyer with delicate pink colouring 💕 #orchids #orquídeas #nature #conservation

“So you’re siding with Hasan Piker against Donald Trump?” “Yes.” “Oh my God.” @chadkultgen.bsky.social’s MAGA loyalist mom backs Hasan as her hero Trump blatantly weaponizes the government against him. #TheNecessaryConversation

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

The US is just strangling its neighbour and seemingly no one cares.

Cuba's minister of energy confirmed reserves are gone — with just enough diesel left to keep hospitals online. The UN has classified Washington's blockade a humanitarian crisis.

A positive vision of the future. The GOP has one, as evil as it may be, and Dems don’t. it’s that simple

This is just evil. Sending an entire country full of people back to the dark ages with no ability to help themselves is just disgusting. Every single member of this administration should be in prison.

Trump's war is putting massive new pressures on American farmers from rising fertilizer prices and shrinking markets, but #climate change and severe #drought in the US breadbasket is making the problem even worse. Here's the latest US drought monitor report.

from the moment it was founded activists and human rights watchdogs have warned that DHS was constructed to be an almost unaccountable private paramilitary force at the president's sole disposal.

The village of al Mughayyir has again been under attack by the IOF and the settlers. The same story throughout the whole occupied West Bank

This is a detail from the Mykonos Vase. It shows what is believed to be the earliest depiction of the Trojan Horse. While Trojan troops suspiciously buzz around the horse and one strides across its back, we see nervous Greek faces at the little windows. 🕰️c675 BC 🏛️📷 Mykonos Archaeological Museum

It’s international day of the goat (yes, really) so here’s the rightly famous Goat in a Thicket statuette from Ur. It is made from gold, copper alloy, lapis lazuli & shell. It shows naturalistic behaviour for goats as they often seek food in low trees and bushes on their hind legs. 🕰️c2600BC 🏛️📷 BM

More than three quarters of Americans, including 55 percent of Republicans, said President Trump’s policies had increased the cost of living in their community. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/23/u...

Trump wants to investigate Twitch streamers who deliver humanitarian aid instead of anyone in the Epstein files.

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the U.S., or any of them.” [i.e. state govs]

This is such a simple way to put it but it’s true. The e-bike should be just like a washer and dryer or microwave. electrek.co/2026/05/18/w...

Do not buy or use this terrible surveillance product.

Everyone who talks like this has permanently shown who they are

ICE criminals shoot innocent people in the face and stay on the job but Hasan is subpoenaed for giving hungry Cubans ramen noodles we live in hell

Can someone put "who was president on January 6 2021" on the stupid cognitive test Trump keeps bragging about? Just to knock him down a peg. We all know he would fail that question.

Nick Shirley was just in Cuba to scare white Americans over how poor and brown they are and he stayed in one of the hotels it is illegal for Americans to visit, because the US government can tell you it's illegal to sleep in a hotel in Cuba not owned by us, but I'm sure they won't go after him.

america is a totalitarian fascist state

Federal officials have subpoenaed Hasan Piker and CodePink's Medea Benjamin over aid mission to Cuba The Treasury Department has targeted the pair as part of an investigation into whether activists violated U.S. sanctions in delivering medicine and medical equipment to Cuba

@ilhanmn.bsky.social is proud to endorse @saikatforcongress.bsky.social because he will be a fierce champion for working people in San Francisco! From Medicare for All to fighting corporate greed, he’s exactly the kind of ally Ilhan needs in congress!

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

Today's NYT headline writer exercise in cognitive dissonance

I predict: a key element will be that the $25 bn payment is made using crypto currency and brokered by Binance and the Trump Bros Liberty Fund. Trump will insist on this being a part of the deal.

I couldn’t have kept the job that sponsored me for a Green Card if I’d had to leave for 9+ months, but that’s nothing compared to this nightmarish Catch 22.

Personally, I think $400 million plus sanctions relief in exchange for verified nuclear restrictions is better than $25 billion plus sanctions relief in exchange for potentially talking about nuclear restrictions in the future, but maybe that’s just me.

Moskowitz voted for the $2 billion slush fund. Oliver Larkin will vote to impeach. This is an independent movement for the working class. No two-party excuses. No corporate cash. Just courage. ⚠️ FL-25, wake up. Check out buff.ly/g9UOGRW and ready to act.

Ashley St. Clair shows Hasan Piker the texts between her and Elon during the 2024 election "He actually talks like this? Oh god, you literally sound like him. You changed the way you talk to sound exactly like him. You guys send memes to each other?!" "Stop! I wanna die!"

The newfound Dem fondness for cutting people's taxes is profoundly shortsighted one-weird-trick thinking. What we actually need to do is to reinvigorate the idea of civic virtue, and part of that is doing our part to contribute to collective well-being. Paying taxes is good. Skin in the game.

I've had five files get corrupted this week in Adobe programs (something that hasn't ever happened in my 20 years in the field), but glad i can have a nipple and cheese pizza hanging from a clothesline for...some reason?

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

There are a hundred "Is Mamdani Being Insensitive to Jews By Acknowledging that Palestinians Are Human?" stories in outlets like the NY Times, meanwhile multiple Republican politicians LITERALLY say that all Muslims are terrorists who should be expelled from the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra just took half a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry. This on top of the max contribution from Chevron. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Xavier Becerra: “I need Chevron”

Time travel. It's a MAGA thing. Like Waffle House teleporting.

The copper produced at Takedda ( or imported from north Africa and Europe) was mainly exported to the south and it was probably among the copper used by the peoples of southern Nigeria particularly those of Ife to create their impressive bronze heads .

These stories are just going to keep coming.
