Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Club El Mundo Elegante. It gives me great personal pride and pleasure in presenting to you — umm, the Moula Banda Rhythm Aces!

Ai will solve all our problems! Real spider says "hold my mosquito"

Found this thingy this morning. Navigational Brief Case, Type MB-1 made by Merit Leather Strap Co.

Bear. Big bear.

Here is a little different scene than you might be used to seeing me post. I came across this view while checking out Port Rexton. These colourful houses caught my eye as the road curved between them. With the dirt road and the style of the houses it was like going back in time.

Stellar reporting / highly disturbing of ongoing child abuse paid for with taxes and no oversight.

My new book—HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America—will be released on 9/15. It's the full story of Putin's decade-long clandestine attack on the US to aid Trump and Trump and the GOP's complicity in this assault. You can learn more & pre-order at HowRussiaWon.com.

They intentionally break the law. 👀👇👇

Trump / Miller are now limiting student visas to 4 years. PhD programs typically run 5-6 years in many disciplines.

Guilty as charged.

I'm outside. Scoutie is inside yowling. This is how I know that her favorite stuffie is just inside the door, waiting for me. She's such a thoughtful cat, concerned about my nutrition.

I am especially impressed with the "memory backpacks" she has made. These are a lending resource patrons can check out just like a book. Each backpack contains sensory items, conversation prompts, activities, and supportive resources for individuals living with dementia and their care partners.

Governor Beshear said what needed to be said: Trump has spent years attacking fair elections and has repeatedly come up empty. Meanwhile, the only person caught on tape trying to change an election result was Trump himself. American elections are secure. Facts matter.

So I'm just a retired journalism prof and working indie journalist but my modest proposal to corporate media would be to do something it's steadfastly refused to do for 10 years and hold even *the first fucking meeting* to discuss how to meet this moment rather than diddle itself

Bumper crop of violet-green swallows this year, some have already been flying about, but are mooching off their parents for now. These six are fledglings, we see both parents feeding them. The nest is inside the roof rafters accessed just behind the middle two birds. Jun 26 2026 #birds #swallows

But let's blame Canada for the wildfires.

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a really wonderful weekend.

I NEED you to hear the story of Kaopectate. It involves African slaves in Georgia, German POW's, and apples. African slaves in Georgia were documented to eat white clay that is very abundant there, a mineral called kaolin (Al2Si2O5(OH)4), to treat diarrheal disease.

Went down memory lane in a dm chat with a buddy. Anyhoo, my love for GM products was solidified after I ran my worn out 67 Camaro out of oil twice and transmission fluid once. That car loved me, wouldn't die. Then in the 80s I discovered Toyota who put lock washers everywhere they could...

Goat.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

💙💙💙NJ Town pulled $91 Million from Citizens Bank ➡️because they fund ICE Detention Centers (aka Camps) Great job for taking a stand against the inhumanity 👏👏

Every aspect of this self-inflicted disaster is just incredible. Or, since many aspects of it look classically "post-Soviet", a better term would be: depressingly familiar.

South Korea's UBI boosted the economy and grew local business revenues 44%. "The funds have been a huge help to our market." - Korean Merchant Chairman The economic case for UBI is pretty settled.

Walkabout time! 🐢

Reminder that ICE whistleblowers have been warning for months that the agency's Trump-era hiring surge has led to dangerous recruits being given alarming levels of power. Watch.

Dear Governor Why can’t we start building free energy charging stations State wide A Windmill And solar panels at every charging station No charge ✌️ charge 🐶 keep the change

This is fantastic! What a valuable asset to anyone interested in ICE Air operations. Data nerds, journalists, and wonks; bookmark this site.

An open note to all the Democrats in congress. You've all seen the video clips from the law making bodies in other countries. They get pissed. I'm not asking for fist fights but damn it, screw decorum, show some passion.

Thought of the day: Catastrophic escalation ahoy, try to be surprised: apnews.com/article/iran...

Russia's Updates Construction Sector Currently the construction in sector in Russia continues to decline. The sector has reported a 7.4% decrease in the market and projects that are being completed have fallen by 22%. Higher loan rates, much softer demand, the dropping of mortgage rate subsides

We reviewed over 1,200 incidents by immigration agents in 2025 across eight states. Here are just some of the most damning findings. 🧵

Letting men decide about women's health care is like letting your dog make decisions about your car because he likes to ride in it sometimes.

Pete setting up the makeup room at the Pentagon is starting to make a lot more sense.

Welcome to the most important job you'll ever have @andyburnham.bsky.social Cartoon brilliance by @bjennings90.bsky.social for @theguardian.com

Variety: Paramount investor sues Larry and David Ellison in Delaware Chancery Court, claiming federal regulatory objections to the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros were quashed by Trump, on promises of secret and illegal payments to him by the Ellison’s. I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you.

In case you missed the report that JD Vance uses USSS and helicopters to take his children to event (golf practices)

Boy he must have really been hoping no one would look at the documents he talked about tonight because they underscore what I've been saying for 6 years, which is that the Trump-Ukraine Scandal was infinitely worse than people thought from the facts revealed during Impeachment #1

Archie Leach, he's back for dinner.

Here's the thing. If you're Xi Jinping trying to rig a US election, don't you want Trump to be the winner? Trump has all but destroyed American soft power, and is pouring its hard power into an Iranian quagmire. China is now a more desirable trade and military partner than the US thanks to Trump.

Trump speech a belly flop into an empty reflecting pool. The Trump diarrhea epidemic producing less crap than president in brief embarrassing address.

Let’s be honest, if tonight’s speech proves one thing it is that the 25th Amendment was an empty exercise, a sad waste of ink.

Did I show you this already? Circa WWII in pretty amazing condition (no fold tears, no stains)

Rut roh.

DOJ included an apparent AI hallucination in an immigration filing, referring to a case that never actually existed. I wish the idea of ICE death squads was only in the Trump regime's imagination, too.

i need a future where "i worked for ice" is like saying "i fought for the nazis" in 1947
