If you care, Kennedy, you publicly call on the House to bring up articles of impeachment against RFK today. No "thought and prayers," no hand-wringing. Either call for his impeachment, or just be quiet. You have strong influence to stop this. Anything else is just performative nonsense.

New: California State Senator Steve Padilla is calling for public review of a massive data center designed to power generative AI that has been proposed in the Imperial Valley. County officials have decided the project is not subject to environmental review. www.kpbs.org/news/environ...

The Gray-headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) is the largest bat in Australia. Impressive sight when they all take flight at once... like they did when a Harley roared down the street. I guess the noise and vibration was too much for them. #WildAustralia #flyingfoxes #megabats #bats

Here you go

a marginally cleaner version for you purists

It's not just that Colorado have decided to go to the moon. It's also striking how the other teams have spread out so much less than you'd expect.

My response to Panetone's "Color" of the year. I called this quilt "summer comes to the hills". I am sure if I searched hard enough I could find a bit of "Cloud Dance" in it--but only a bit. #artquilt #color #abstracttextile #coloroftheyear #Panetone

#SundayYellow Seen In Paducah This quilt by Susan Stewart from Pittsburgh, KS, is insanely beautiful. She named the quilt "Tulip Fire." The quilt is foundation picked, machine embroidered, and free motion quilted. I have several close-ups that I will attach.

This different take on a disappearing 9 patch has been wildly popular! #quiltsky #quilting #sewing youtu.be/m7_ohk9K_PU?...

Washed and dried. It turned out nice. This Star Trek baby quilt is going to a baby due in Feb 2026. #StarTrek #babyquilt #applique. #handquilting

I knew there would be something like this on Lonsdale's Wikipedia page. If I knew how, I would have wagered a lot of money on it.

By “sovreignty” he means “states should be weak enough so that billionaires like me should be able to treat them as feudal vassals” bsky.app/profile/lora...

Ayy, if it gets the attention of the NYT...

I wrote that siding with Trump on this “would not be a difference of opinion, an alternative path, or even a politicized decision. It would be a decision effectively overturning a key portion of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it would need to be treated as such.”

As far-right cultists become more & more unhinged and diabolical as they take over the mainstream of a major political party, satirists have a tough time catching up

Disturbing to read DOJ has scrapped efforts from Trump I and Biden administrations to improve management of the escalating volume of digital evidence. These are not serious people. news.bloomberglaw.com/product/blaw...

Every time I hear Sandhill Cranes I'm surprised by their amazing volume. This guy single-handedly drowned out the din of a nearby flock of Cackling Geese. #birding

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera. This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw. But it's not very far off.

Watch to the end. Mother Nature is not messing around

Maybe I need to go through all my pics before I start posting. I keep finding ones I like better than the last...😳 #birding today at Sauvie's Island, Multnomah County, Oregon Sandhill Cranes imitating an x-wing fighter

Went out to hit some tennis balls and this really blew up. It's amazing how the Palantir guys are all going publicly berserk as the company becomes more embedded in our government. Seems like a massive national security concern.

Another year almost over and I still haven’t made any progress on my book project. Sigh. #birds

The quilt is finished! Please ignore the chalk lines and stray threads. It’s already in the wash, and I’ll take porch photos tomorrow. #StarTrek #babyquilt #handquilting

I do understand holding events in parks is easier bcs you don't have to close streets, but at the same time. If you hold this event on a big grassy hill with no real sidewalks anywhere near the main event then you are excluding disabled people which is weird for an event supporting AIDS patients.

Yip yap #quilt finish! #Kawandi inspired, #Englishpaperpiecing and #LucyBoston bound, lots of Why did I do this, and Don't give up a MEH-today dream because tomorrow might be the perfect moment. Oh and #handsewing. And #happiness. #quiltsky #quilting #blogpost #handmade Link to blog in bio above.

At a dance class I complimented a woman on her grippy-bottomed socks. “I love the psych ward socks,” I said. And she goes “I call them Pilates socks.” And those, my friends, are the two types of people.

Hey friends on bluesky, how many years of tax records do you keep?

#CBJ vs #TimeToHunt 📊🧵 Hard to find real words for that game. Absolutely wild. Lots of rush offense. Lots of special teams.

In retrospect having an elite class composed of people who are really good at rising through the ranks by not rocking the boat left us in a really, really bad place at the moment that elite institutions faced their greatest moral test
