I love how this poem moves from funny to serious I've seen this. The bar in Belfast International Airport. We heard the alarm, could smell the smoke & sat on & finished our pints. I have witnessed the second half of the poem too. It's time to pour our pints on the fire #Poetry #Poemoftheday

A. Jacob, 1886

Downcast angel, with bandaged forehead & wounded wing, clutches snowdrops (a sign of renewal) as she sits on stretcher held by two troubled boys. Interpretations vary, but maybe this was a reaction to the Russification of Finland, homeland of artist Hugo Simberg (1903)

People who have never lived in LA will never know the double joy of going to a neighborhood you never go to because this city is just too damn big, and finding a Zankou Chicken there

News accounts are straining to portray the Virginia move as a betrayal of Dems' principled opposition to gerrymandering. It's pure bullshit. Dems passed a 2021 bill ending it for *both sides.* The Dem position is that Trump/Rs don't get to play by their own rules: newrepublic.com/article/2093...

Hmm, I wonder why…

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Star Wars is, at its core, about how weird-looking robot guys and aliens do or do not get along with British people

Adam interviews Mary Moriarty about a detail I also noticed; The victims in the ICE assault had no idea he was ICE. They described him as a crazy nut who shouldn't be on the road. You know ... ICE.

I am bound To Persia, and want guilders for my voyage: Therefore make present satisfaction, Or I’ll attach you by this officer.

Garden of Earthly Delights

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009), Untitled, 1983

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

this Allan Horing poem, my god

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Oh hey speaking of guys who are problematic pieces of shit who shouldn’t be near an office of power

RIP Sid. Thanks for letting me be Blurp. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

the young people are right, millennials had it easy—at any hour of the day, we could just turn on the radio, tune in to npr, and listen to a gen x dude explain to us again for twenty minutes that lobsters actually used to be poor people food

If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

“Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad…” ⚔️ 45 years ago today, John Boorman’s Excalibur (1981) brought the Arthurian legend to life in unforgettable style. Dive into the story behind the film on its 45th anniversary: cinephiliabeyond.org/excalibur/

The American right including FoxNews and Trump himself has spent years publicly idolizing an almost random post-Soviet kleptocracy with a GDP less than half the size of Minnesota and tomorrow it's likely to go down in flames. Geopolitical equivalent of seeing their NFT apes get stolen.

Three Democratic members of Congress said they were horrified that immigrants were being stuffed into holding cells “like sardines” at a Mesa ICE holding facility they showed up to without warning on Thursday night.

This is so well done. 👌

The light in this painting is incredible

There is no McTry.

I could really use a new album from Tom Waits these days

welp unfortunately it looks like the world actually is a complicated place that requires us to put smart people in charge, hate to say it but sometimes shit matters and its not all a troll

man, when your back is out, everything is out. Sh*t I want to do, sh*t I need to do... a young associate asked "what happened" and I said brother, I'm in my 50s. I was getting out of a f*cking chair. Someday you'll understand.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

Brutal.

Local TV leads its Iran coverage by saying the "deal" includes "reopening" the Strait of Hormuz, but then adds that Iran will manage the Strait and charge fees. So, the Strait is *less* accessible than before the war. Media outlets don't need to accept the administration's framing of this ceasefire.

43yrs ago over 100 million Americans watched this seminal TV Movie about a fictional conflict between NATO & the Warsaw Pact that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the USA & the Soviet Union. THE DAY AFTER (1983) #JasonRobards

Right? Fox and its minions created the maga monster and fluffed trump every chance they got. They can fck all the way off.
