I will repost every portland frog joke

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Never heard this cover before, but it’s brilliant. Also, I listened to the original in high school, while “classic rock” radio was playing hits like “Lola” and “Walk on the Wild Side” Some people in my generation somehow missed all that and were shocked to discover trans people at middle age.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades. It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate. Tell him!

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Molly Ivins:

Growing food crops under solar panels is called Agrivoltaics. Lots of crops benefit from growing underneath them. I know in Maine they were piloting wild blueberries, and in Massachusetts cranberries. You can also graze animals like sheep or if you mount them high cows (not goats - they climb)

Fossil fuel drilling, refining, and transportation already occupied huge amounts of land, as expertly documented by the photographer Edward Burtynsky. These land uses are much more destructive than solar panels!

Trump is pronouncing "acetaminophen" the right way. by Ezra Klein

I voted no on the House Resolution that honors a legacy of racism. Please read my full statement.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Let me just say a simple thing. Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy. If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

Reading the news.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I was so fortunate attend the closing performance of Free Shakespeare in the Park's TWELFTH NIGHT on Sunday at the revitalized Delacorte. Sensational theater, freely shared, and a testament to the importance of public arts in NYC.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Nobody has ever told on himself more only to have so many people pretend they didn’t hear it.

"best of all there is no complicated system to plug into. It’s just you and the sun, and the sun is currently predicted to go on burning for 5bn years (after which, admittedly, you’re on your own)." @billmckibben.bsky.social

the year is 2050. you ask AI how to wear a suit. the computer spits out info framed as objective facts, even though these are totally made up rules invented by an asian guy in 2025 while he was sitting on a toilet

I think we are witnessing the ongoing birth of the Professional and Managerial Class as a true class formation with class consciousness, and its fundamentally bourgeois traditional leadership being actively hostile to that phenomen.

feels like the kid who sits in that chair dresses like this

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

A thought experiment. What if the world's climate policy for the next few years was: flood the planet with cheap or free solar panels? billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-modest-p...

ICYMI — @GovPritzker tells Trump to stay out of CHICAGO, and urges the press to stop both-sidesing us into authoritarianism 🔥 🎯 🇺🇸

The full 12 minutes of @govpritzker.illinois.gov speech today, which was superb. (Via Nicole Wallace / @msnbc.com segment.) www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

J.B. Pritzker smashing through the fascism wall like he's the Kool Aid Man

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.

YOU 🫵 Post about Pritzker RIGHT NOW🐴🏹

Trumpism seems to have three big obsessions: deportations, tariffs, and killing clean energy. (Also graft of course). On Sun Day we take on #3. Join us at sunday.earth

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Lord please bless me like you blessed this man.

There’s a famous chart from the Conservation Research Institute, which demonstrates this. GAZE UPON THESE ROOTS, YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR.

Add to this PRO Act and supercharging the NLRB, getting rid of tax exemption for thinktanks that don't provide community services, making churches qualify under normal nonprofit rules, and full amnesty for all immigrants in the country currently and those who come and remain for some period.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

UPDATE: I took him outside with his sister, they immediately flushed a tiny rabbit, far from fully grown, out of the bushes, it utterly clowned them by casually escaping at walking speed while they did high-intensity leaps and twirls in the wrong part of the garden
