RIP trailblazing former labor attorney and Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa, champion of women, working families, and the underdog. She was the first woman to serve as president of the Hawaii state senate, and mentored other electeds like current Rep. Jill Tokuda. www.khon2.com/local-news/c...

Those are…certainly…words

Finishing up Day 3 in the Paralympic Village, great to see my mixed doubles teammates starting off with a big W against a very good Latvian team! 🇺🇸🥌

Part 1.5 was some VA Republican Party chair who asked if we could combat sea level rise by taking all the boats out of the water. That was a fun one too.

I'm a little surprised they listened to legal

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses. But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n Disclaimer: all views are my own.

I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance It'd race right through me I'm much better off the way things are Much much better off, better by far, by far

Getting really good at this and Aladdin (I could 100% complete the latter without getting hit) might be my peak gaming experience

This is lovely

Chugged about three cups of olive oil on a dare The next day wasn’t too pleasant. The olive oil equivalent of meat sweats hit within an hour, and the body isn’t really equipped to digest that much oil at once. This was before any olive oil fads too, I bet some influencer would try this

Reposting for evening folks!

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now! Trump is announcing his nominee. That's it. If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now. And that matters come November.

Oh this confirmation hearing is gonna be a good one

[Exit Murderer.]

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

Great. He replaced the lady who shot her dog with the guy who hid behind a chair on January 6th.

Kristi Noem changed her entire face for this job. 😞

This feels like playoff extra inning baseball Bluesky, except we’re all laughing at Kristi Noem for not knowing the game is over

Goddamn

Noem speaking now in Nashville as she was fired www.kvue.com/video/news/l...

*races into the room, out of breath* YOU MIGHT SAY THAT SHE'S LOST FACE *collapses in a dead heap*

I hope the cameras are rolling

My head is a little cloudy because of cold medicine but what’s the process here? Markwayne has to vacate his senate seat before a confirmation vote? I can’t imagine they can hold a confirmation hearing within a month, can they?

Man’s got a lot of people, including his own family, to apologize to.

Good morning! Yes, this is he

fwiw I don't know what's really in Graham Platner's heart, that side of his chest hasn't come up as much

Friend just sent me an Indeed jobs posting for part-time Personal Effects Specialists to recover military dead at Dover AFB I think the Trump admin is lying (shocker, I know) about the number of troops Iran has killed in this hyper-illegal war www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5...

I did not share the original story because my gut was that the sourcing was dubious. Someone who knows more about the sole source confirms that skepticism. Don't fall for clickbait, read the piece linked below. (If the story is confirmed by other outlets, that's another thing. But ... it's not)

A lot of the vitriol at LLMs is directed at a real criticism though, that LLMs are a Swiss Army Knife / global panacea. It’s not just a useless/useful dichotomy. Proponents of LLMs (in particular the companies selling them) tout them as useful all the time. That simply isn’t true

Two of my favorite acting performances of all time: Joan Cusack in Addams Family Values, and Vincent D’Onofrio in Men in Black.

The Kuwaiti jet shot three missiles and took down three F-15s. We can joke about it because we only lost jets and not personnel in this but holy hell this Kuwaiti was like “challenge accepted.”

Timeline cleanse. Also, not for profits like this are great and deserve our support. When I was doing more fundraising work, Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue was one of my favorite lists

I also think it’s a political loser move

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

You guys mocked me for buying up all those castanets last week, but who's laughing and clacking now??

Our annual Legislative Conference kicked off today! National President Doreen Greenwald addressed NTEU members this morning before they took to Capitol Hill to advocate for issues impacting our union brothers and sisters!

still the best proverb for the situation in which we find ourselves

The remaining lawyers are slammed, these were the loser cases they decided they shouldn't appeal, and now their client (who isn't really their client, but it's clear he is their client) is demanding that they carry on with them. Honestly it's a great ethical hypothetical. That isn't hypothetical.

“Oh so this is a crusade (complimentary)” said no one, ever.

One of the maybe unappreciated flaws of this design choice is that this color scheme is a late series look. Early series should be warmer, more inviting, less militant.

“Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the Major Combat Operations Room!”

You can’t shelve what can’t be seen, I guess. Also, has John Roberts always looked this much like a child in an Edward Gorey picture? images2.medimops.eu/product/611d...
