I can’t imagine what it would be like to deal with TWO Chesters… #Caturday

Three benign polyps taken care of. Don’t have to worry for another 10 years! (Well, 8.5 now)

An investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Providence uncovered 75 credibly accused clergy & 300+ survivors. But the real numbers may be higher—because the Church refused full cooperation and destroyed some records. It's always worse than you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/rhode-isla...

“Kristi Noem caused lasting harm to farm worker communities. Our lawsuit against racist raids is called “UFW v. Noem” for a reason. That fight continues, even if her time as DHS secretary doesn’t.”

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

How it started v. How it’s going Can’t believe I’ve taken a FOOT off my waistline!

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

A limbo champ walked into a bar. He lost.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The Trump administration’s attacks on H-2A wage protections make it harder than ever for farm workers to earn fair pay. This #ValentinesDay, remember: Love means justice. Love means protection. Stand with farmworkers. Show love to the hands that feed us. ❤️#WeFeedYou

Is there some sort of tournament to determine America’s top John Denver tributes? Or is it just a coaches poll?

Now seems a good time to mention Puerto Rico should be a state or a separate country, whatever the people wish. And DC. And our other territories.

The things we are seeing daily feel like a horror movie, but this is not fiction. It’s a new terrifying reality. Trump’s DHS mob are killing US citizens, taking kids from their schools & terrorizing hard working immigrants. We need you to DEMAND ACTION. act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun...

As ICE terrorizes our communities, farmworkers are still feeding this country — every single day. #WeFeedYou

Snackles? #GGMU #ManchesterIsRED

In a heartbeat. They’d at least be honest about sleeping during meetings.

I’m undefeated!

Is it just me or does Billy Bob Thornton look younger now than he did 30 years ago?

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

It’s the only way I know what day it is while on vacation…

Here's screenshots of full statement to make it easier to read...

OTD 25ya, Cassini made its closest approach to Jupiter, our gateway to Saturn. Movies of Jup's atmos, moons & rings, & the greatest Jup portrait ever made were just part of our bounty. Look & recall the wonder of it all! 📰🔭 tinyurl.com/yzpmc9rw - best atm movie! tinyurl.com/2s4k48wa - more movies

It’s a question I was asking 20+ years ago…

If Atari wants to sell their retro product with Pac-Man graphics, they should be forced to use the actual graphics they gave us in 1982.

Good stuff within! Especially if you know someone with a January birthday. And if you follow me, you automatically know someone with a January birthday!

Suddenly I have a good feeling about 2026…

Very happy that neither of my senators, @wyden.senate.gov and @merkley.senate.gov, are on this list.

In case you didn’t feel old enough already, I’ll point out we are as far removed from U Can’t Touch This (1990) as Hammer’s seminal song was from Bill Haley and the Comets (1955).

Vaccinate. Vaccines are good. Vaccines are a blessing of the modern world and scientific progress. Take the good stuff about living now.

Measles is a HORRIFYING disease. It kills. It maims. I have had measles. I caught it at university. It nearly fucking killed me. If I hadn't been vaccinated, it probably would have. Weeks of utter misery. I still have nightmares. I wouldn't wish it on anybody... except antivax grifters.

Ended up in my YouTube feed yesterday. Every now and then the algorithm does something worthwhile. Great episode! I’d not seen any of her interviews before and she clearly talks extemporaneously the way she writes.

Sad to hear. Robin is a treasure and an important voice in these times in particular. It’s hard to do the right thing and those who do should be recognized and supported. Thank you, Robin, for your open displays of humanity and decency.

Idk I feel like we should put Christ back in Christian before worrying about Christmas.

A crew in Mettler, CA is harvesting peppers on a cloudy damp autumn day. They tell us, detaching the tough stem from the fragile plant is difficult as you could harm the plant if you're not careful. #WeFeedYou

Loss avenged. And Shai goes further into territory only Wilt has been.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

🗣️ ain't no power like the power of a union, cuz the power of a union won't stop! We're EIGHTEEN DAYS into our national ULP strike and only getting louder. Let's hear it for baristas in Gardner, MA for holding the line! #nocontractnocoffee

You don’t get many days like this in Oregon in November, so it’s definitely a “Take Pictures of Wy’east Day!” (iPhone zoom alone, through binoculars and through binoculars with zoom)
