Old joke. Trump consults a fortune teller. "I see you in a big limousine. Thousands of cheering people line the streets. There's balloons and music and confetti. They're all taking pictures as the limo passes by." Trump asks, "am I smiling?" "No, it's a closed casket."

Seven states are taking on Donald Trump's attempt to shut down green energy wind farms. Trump unilaterally took $1 billion of our taxpayer money to try to stop the project. A billion here... A billion there... $2 billion here... $10 billion here... A rogue thief of our taxpayer money.

New Jersey has sued GEO Group, the private prison company running the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark. Contrary to MarkWayne’s lies, 300 immigrants are on a hunger and work strike to bring attention to inhumane treatment, inedible food, and lack of medical care.

Congressional statute: "There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise." 50 U.S. Code § 3023

Watching real-time instruction videos, that take forever to get to the point, are really frustrating if you have #ADHD. I'm three steps ahead but don't know if I missed one? 🌱 Growing garlic in plastic bottles. Sounds like balcony material. Getting supplies for more creative gardening this year

“Every $1300 New York invested in new bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 added year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment. #CityMakingMath www.reuters.com/article/busi...

This is a direct challenge to the most powerful court in America.Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen has introduced six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts, accusing him of leading a Supreme Court that has crossed from constitutional judgment into political protection.

My Dad used to put butter on Saltine crackers. Anybody else ever do that?

How embarrassing. All of these men are so insecure that it’s absolutely hilarious - and more than a little sad.

A proposal for a one-year data center moratorium has been introduced in New York. If it passes New York will be the first state to have such a moratorium.

Socialism only works in the US for the ultra wealthy. We pay for them to build rockets, data centres and sports stadiums. They gorge themselves on the profits. When they fuck up and create an environment catastrophe, we pay to remediate that too.

NASA was much more efficient.

KegsBreath Needs To Be Bitch Slapped.......

Mamdani is proving that everything Bernie Sanders wanted to do for the country as president really was possible. He wiped out a $12 Billion deficit, and no rich person died. Crazy how having a great politician can be good for the ppl

Making me drool for a malasada from Leonard’s. 😋

you know when you’ve got your heart set on watching a specific movie and then it’s not available on streaming. 😩

It is bullshit that Americans cannot purchase Chinese EVs.

Fire Ellison.

Big progress vs cancer, folks. The kind of event curves from randomized trials that we've not seen before for a couple of the most deadly cancers. Congrats to the oncology research community for getting these trial done.

When it comes to dealing with russian aggression, the world should liten to Baltic diplomats instead of Western leaders: 👇 "After every russian escalation into a NATO country we hear leaders repeating the mantra "We stand with..." But we could do much more than standing around."

Trump just waved the white flag. His scheme to funnel $1.8 billion to January 6 rioters has collapsed after judges stepped in & the public revolted. The message was simple: Americans don’t want their tax dollars rewarding people who attacked our democracy. This is what accountability looks like.

Hey, remember when I said Grok was the worst AI by far, people who cite it on Twitter only do so because it’ll foreseeably be wrong in a direction they like, and Elon Musk is a grifting piece of shit and dangerous to America? This breaking news has it all!

Science! 🥰

It's also being used as treatment for Stage lV Pancreatic Cancer possibly a vaccine against this deadly cancer. Science knows what they're doing.

Danish Pension Fund Blacklists SpaceX. Previously, dumped US Treasuries over Trump's threat to Greenland. It says Spacex is “grossly overvalued”, and has “catastrophic governance structure” as Elon Musk strives to be a trillionaire. Any chance of City of London growing a backbone? archive.ph/dsVfR

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

How little we understand about complex #biodiversity. "This process, long attributed primarily to fish physiology, may depend on a previously unrecognized microbial partnership." We need to #Unlearn 20th-century reductionist thinking phys.org/news/2026-05...

We don’t need fossil fuel executives!

50°f now. Chilly grey morning.

I am begging Democratic leadership: don't make fear the strategy for 2028. The GOP attacks everyone. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, a man, a Christian, a moderate, or a progressive. Pick the best candidate. Trust voters. Meet the moment instead of running from it. #ProudBlue

Why #agreements with #Russia don't mean anything. Never have, never will.

I was waiting for @867gerry.bsky.social to wake first #GoodMorning #Bonjour Overcast, cold, sounds like more of the same today

In a stunning blow to Ken Paxton, the Houston Chronicle just endorsed Democrat James Talarico for U.S. Senate in Texas. One of the biggest newspapers in the state is making it clear: Texans deserve better than Paxton’s corruption, chaos, and endless scandals. =====================

Trump wouldn't last two minutes.

Tax like Eisenhower

Imagine if Texas treated hemp as a solution rather than a threat. Hemp can help clean contaminated soil, create rural jobs, and give farmers new opportunities. We should be investing in Texas growers and healthier land, not protecting corporate interests.

This was in a 1992 issue of MAD magazine.

Those of us who were alive all knew it. The man was the butt of almost every joke in the 80s and 90s. We all laughed at how pathetic he was for forcing himself into Home Alone 2. We all cringed at being bombarded by ‘modeling agents’ every time we went to the mall. It was very well known.

MAD magazine knew the Truth in 1991

🔹90% of schools damaged/destroyed. 🔹700,000 children out of school for 2 academic years 🔹88,000 HE students have had to halt their studies 🔹95% of universities have been damaged/destroyed 🔹In 2024 UN experts accused Israel of deliberately destroying Gazas education system

Back in October 2019, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk told investors the company would have more than a million robotaxis on the road within a year. Six years on, Tesla has not only missed that deadline by an embarrassing margin, the US fleet it actually runs is getting smaller. /1

We are now coasting. The pipeline is emptying quickly as the brain drain continues. 🤦

A tough battle in Nashua ends with Vermont’s Finest scooping up all three points. 🍨

It works.

A month ago, Trump's Board of Peace had roughly $170 million in actual transferred funds, which represented just around one percent of the $17 billion total pledged by member nations. Today the Board of Peace has no money. Zero. Who took it?
