No matter how you do it, read this book. It will take a while, but that's a good thing because you will want it to never to be over. Even when it does end, though, it will leave you feeling lighter than air. It is good.

OMG. Didi Crocker. I'm in love 💕

Just follow this guy. It's totally interesting

You know what I would love? I would love a goddam Bluesky app that didn't sign me out every goddam time I tried to use it! I'd also like a "refresh" action that did something logical... but whatever.

In response to the horrendous shooting of two National Guard members, by a man carrying a gun, the president is ordering investigation of every person who acquired a gun during the Biden administration

Is this what will happen? Govt will reopen, the vote in December will happen and fail, health subsidies will expire in January, and the govt will shut down again in January, at which point the middle class will be feeling the pinch?

Does someone have a list of all the people who promised to leave NYC so we can put them on free buses to Florida?

Dr. @adapalmer.bsky.social: Christianity seems to have been incredibly successful. Are there studies into why?

It looks as though "ceasefire" doesn't mean what I thought it meant, either. One might even start to describe this as "Newspeak"

That Dante guy knew which end was up...

Huh... Apparently "illegal" doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

This your Whitehouse 👇🏼

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

Can someone like @davidpriess.bsky.social @tim-weiner.bsky.social explain what it will take to securely rebuild Presidential bunker, so we can understand what it's going to take to do 2X--this time, when Trump rebuilds *that kind* of bunker, & then again when President @aoc.bsky.social replaces it?

Air-quality reforms in China have slashed concentrations of fine particulates by nearly half since 2013, preventing an estimated 2.2 million premature deaths annually. New analysis from the University of Chicago shows the average citizen now lives 2.9 years longer. buff.ly/EJeLqjd #ShareGoodNewsToo

a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom

Not to exploit attention economy guy's comments, but this White House attack REALLY IS a visual that is flooring people, including dopes like Byron York. And it'd be useful to think of all the ways to use it as an organizing/messaging platform, PARTICULARLY bc of timing, "Let them eat ballroom."

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Godspeed, Ms Stamberg

Reminder all - there is a great pocket guide constitution you can buy from the National Archive (online store is open). In the meantime, any US printers who want to print them in different formats? Maybe menus or placemats for restaurants to get folks talking or trivia night?

Social media use begins global decline. For the first time, time spent on social media is falling worldwide. An analysis of 250,000 adults across 50 countries shows average daily use dropped nearly 10% since 2022, reversing a decade of growth. buff.ly/z7nfRnN #ShareGoodNewsToo

If I manage to keep any kind of hope over the next 3 years, it will be because of @adapalmer.bsky.social. "Inventing the Renaissance" is, perhaps, the most mind-bending book I've read since Godel, Escher, Bach and SO optimistic. You must read it!

I knew fascism would suck, but I underestimated how fucking stupid it would be.

That, I believe, is the point

What agency/staff are working and what is and isn’t being done! How the Shutdown Is Affecting Federal Services and Workers www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It took 20 years to go from Dan Rather to Bari Weiss.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Hero indeed. Godspeed Ms Goodall

As a former employee of both Amazon and Twitter, I was able to score a medbed for only $1M MAGAcoin. Thank God for the deep state

I have a serious question: what will make the eventual criminal prosecution of members of this administration look different than the current weaponization of the legal system? "Yes, but we're right" won't be enough.

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

I 💖 WNYC. You folks are incredible

Maybe you could -- you know -- hire some ACTUAL diplomats? Or, how about this one, stop selling Israel weapons?

Charlie who?

I highly recommend this article (going down rabbit holes as much as you can stand) about the significance of the markings found on bullet casings of the arrested, & (I think?), confessed murderer of Charlie Kirk. 1/2 www.todayintabs.com/p/groyper-wa...

More ads in my email. Why would I want a bottle of expensive champagne? He's not dead yet.

Drove across DC border to Maryland, and got flu shot and (new) Covid shot, at CVS. We qualify, by age. "A ton of people have been coming in for these." Go to hell, RFK Jr.

So, do I have this right? The pussy that is caving to Putin is all proud that the biggest military in the world crushed a fishing boat?
