SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

Go on dates and “one thing leads to another” right? So I go on dates. With a backpack FULL of things, because who knows which things might be needed? She’s there. With her purse. Smart!Clearly she brought the things. But my backpack never seems to have the right things! Am I doing it wrong? 🤷‍♂️😅

This weekend will bear witness to a true blue moon: the second full moon to appear in the sky in a single month.

That moon sure is pretty. 🌕

🥳 A small town in #Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community‼️ The #LaPineCity Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project 👏

This is an actual Thirteenth Amendment violation, because they have not been convicted of any crime.

most corrupt administration in history

What generally happens if you ask an AI something like, “Penny for your thoughts?”

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

Her abduction at age 14 drew international attention. After her rescue, Smart says she struggled with feeling shame around her body. Bodybuilding has helped her see herself differently.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Big tech co’s are racing to win the AI race. They aim to win at ANY COST. They don’t care that their data centers take our water and increase our utility costs. They don’t care about the environmental impacts. If they win that is all that matters. It’s immoral and harmful. We must fight back.

As a survivor of nearly drowning when I was a child, I'm reposting this free article on the warning signs to look for in people who are in distress.

I’m so lucky. Despite all the badness, failure, and trauma, I’ve had an amazing life. I see old photos and videos from years ago and, DAMN… all I can be is grateful for all the good times I’ve he with my friends and kids. 😌 #gratitude

If you like Mahler or are Mahler-curious give this podcast a listen. It’s excellent!

I thought Trump claimed all those January 6'ers were Antifa and FBI, and not his supporters. Weird how he's taking our tax dollars to pay them off now.

If I even knew how to watch live TV anymore, then I would have watched Colbert tonight. He’s a hero, a poet, and a patriot.

My son is graduating from college. I’m not great at things like this. Any suggestions for how I could celebrate him on this occasion?

Just thought of my perfect epitaph. It’s the thing I say all the time all the time. It will read simply: I’m so tired. 😌

WATCH: Swamp creature. Warmonger. Bootlicker. Here’s the first TV ad in our campaign to unseat Lindsey Graham.

First thing I do after every move is join the library.

Spoke recently to a friend of mine who runs a lab. This administration is profoundly, maybe irreversibly, undermining the foundations of scientific research in the US. We won't feel the effects right away but they're coming

This was a good puzzle. Wordle 1,793 5/6* 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟨🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I always take it for granted, but having your own bed to sleep in is really amazing. #gratitude

So I’ve used sensitive tooth toothpaste for years and it’s been fine. I switched to a nanohydroxyapetite type toothpaste a couple months ago. My tooth sensitivity has gone away. 🤷‍♂️ I think it works.

The interaction between the zookeeper and the otters is just too adorable.

Unfortunate. :/

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Happy to report i think I’ve set the final tile in my shower. Now just need to grout and seal the sob.

Roberts dropping that “we’re not political actors” quote and doing this 96 hours later is nasty work

The People >>> Trump. Never forget.

Did an overnight bike camping trip last night. Beautiful ride along the Deschuttes River. We brought a charcoal grill for steaks! Shared a bottle of bourbon and admired the beautiful night sky. Ranted about too many satellites these days. I saw the ISS twice though. That one is ok. So needed this.🙌

I’ve been alive almost 50 years. A bit more than half of those years I was pretty aware of the general state of things. Like the economic conditions and the overall vibe. In my experience right now is the shittiest things have been in the last 50 years. By far. Thanks Trump.

⭐️USA⭐️ 250 Fuck Trump!!! Make it a t-shirt please.

Are you a doctor treating transgender patients in a state with restrictions on gender-affirming care? I am an investigative reporter and I want to talk to you. If you’re not, mind sharing this post?

I have said this before and I will say it again, but it is my firm belief that given the blatant and naked corruption exhibited by some members of the Roberts Court, decisions of the Roberts Court should not be treated as precedentially binding on later courts.

Evolution is real science. Creationism is not. That's it. That's the post.

Follow my friend Shawn. He makes cool comics.

Yes, I started renovating my bathroom about a year ago and I’m not done yet. But I Will Have You Know!., That I am about halfway thorough tiling the tub surround and then it will l be done. Basically. 💅

youtube.com/watch?v=Bl50... the listen Worth the time I wish there were more politicians who spoke like this. It’s a worry For the US and for the remainder of the world.

When the cartoon replaces all the words ...

Second movement of Beethoven’s cello sonata no. 5 is killing me so good.💔❤️🥰

I love Wordle because every day it makes me feel smart. 🤓 I love Doctordle because every day it makes me feel dumb. 🤓

Developed 3 rolls of color film tonight. 👍 I don’t mind developing. But I don’t love scanning. :/

Oh no! I’m late for Celluloid Heaven! 😫 kwva.uoregon.edu

Just renewed my library card which has been inactive for a few years. Excited to listen to some Libby audiobooks. 😊 Maybe I’ll cancel my Audible subscription. 🤔

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."
