Hey it's that rocketship from The Wings of Honneamise, just without the giant VAB gantry.

Do people mad about the odyssey casting know about bible characters being cast as vegetables

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Motion to redefine "googling" to mean "incinerating your decades of market leadership by abandoning your marquee product and going all-in on useless crap no one wants"

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. I made two drafts of a mixtape after dinner. The music was quiet, so was the phone. As I flipped on Carson's monologue, I worried I'd transposed the 4 and 5 in my phone number. Why didn't she give me her number? Maybe she was hurt somewhere.

On this in 1954, the US Supreme Court ruled in the Brown v. Board of Education decision that segregation in public schools is unconstitutional because it denies children of color the protection of laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. h/t @hcrichardson.bsky.social Image: Bettmann Archive.

Gerontocracy is how I still occasionally see people talk about AOC being too "young" and "inexperienced" for a presidential run despite the fact that in 2028 she will be 39 and have spent a quarter of that life as a US congressional member sitting on 5 different oversight and finance committees.

Hey locals, if you're in Powderhorn Park, specifically the east side, and you see a small (about 8 pounds) black or sable cat (depends on the light) please @ me and let me know the location?

Someone has now. 😎

The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...

Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.

I will say that the Drunk History segment on Rep. Robert Smalls is one of my favorites in the whole series, because it was so exciting and moving. (Still waiting for General Harriet Tubman to show up on our twenties.) youtu.be/6PbbB2NKu5s?...

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This week in 1812 Spencer Perceval became the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated. Its the least interesting thing about him. Working with hedonistic lawyer James Stephen, the devout Christian engineered one of the first slavery bans in British territory WITHOUT Parliament's approval. /1

“Don’t worry buddy, Kristi Noem isn’t around here anymore.”

Quote-skeet with a doctor you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

Making sure this news made the rounds: the FAA withdrew restrictions that criminalized drone flights near federal immigration enforcement operations, based on a a legal challenge from Twin Cities photojournalist Rob Levine.

This is the schedule for tomorrow on www.mprnews.org. It’s the first recorded Wits available for public consumption in almost 11 years. 5p central. You can listen. @pftompkins.bsky.social is on it. I’m surprised to see my name on the schedule at MPR again. Never expected that.

I had my first Hennepin Co. Fix It Clinic experience today and it was a swell time. The volunteers were cheerful and I came away with a now-working-again dustbuster. I will definitely be looking around the house to see what's busted for the next one. Hooray for functional government programs!

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

The thing that killed rock music is that 4 poor people used to be able to scrape enough money for drums, 2 guitars, PA, have free time to practice *and* be able to practice in someone's garage. Now instruments are a luxury collectible, everyone works 2 jobs, and no one can afford a house w/garage

It's amazing how quickly White politicians in the South rushed to PROVE exactly why we needed the Voting Rights Act!

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

oops! you're right, I plotted and schemed against you. Here's my breakdown of what happened. I: * Contacted your bastard son * Convinced him to raise an army against you * Paid informants to familiarize myself with your habits * Slipped poison into your nightly tonic Going forward, I promise not t

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Feel like this is an economic indicator.

This is great news! We're making America healthy again, but not in a dumb way!

Love this beat in Star Trek where Khan whacks a guy so hard he blows the crotch out of his pants

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. My library is ditching Kanopy soon, where this movie lives, and I am in mourning.

At a pool party, the big kids were watching Dreamscape and The Thing. The one-two punch put me off horror for decades, still not my thing.

You pursue and discuss impeachment most importantly because it’s justified and you are working for the day it will succeed but you ALSO do it to model that our political system is still THE APPROPRIATE PLACE to address our grievances even if it’s going to take some time.

Gerry Conway has passed at 73. He leaves an incredible legacy. Co-creator of Punisher, Power Girl, Firestorm, Killer Croc, Jason Todd, Ms. Marvel. He also wrote a lot of tv including Law & Order. Best remembered for The Night Gwen Stacy Died? Probably? My condolences to his family and friends.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

Posting both an iconic blonde AND a movie you've watched more than six times using gifs.

a ballroom has a core strategic weakness: the man in the back saying “everyone attack”

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

The Strait of Epstein crisis is going to do more to accelerate permanent, unidirectional migration away from fossil fuels to cleantech than decades of environmental activism. 32/

My attention has been drawn to this delightful image.

Just so we're all on the same page here: if a drug goes from $100 to $600, it has increased 500% (though you could also say the new price is "600% of the old price"), and if it drops from $600 to $100 it has dropped 83.3%, so RFKJr is wrong in both directions, for different reasons.

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

In our discussion, @gtconway.bsky.social envisions two steps: Accountability for Trump and top officials first, then reforms to prevent future fascism second. It all amounts to a pretty good accountability agenda for the post-Trump era. Here's the key exchange: newrepublic.com/article/2091...
