In case you also didn't know: Norway and Denmark are different countries. The more you know.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Twenty minutes in to the audiobook of @vermontgmg.bsky.social The Devil Reached Toward the Sky and I've already cried because he said 30 minutes or fewer. May the Imaginary Sky People bless those who know the difference between fewer and less.

I managed to hold my grocery list in front of it, but look at this absolute unit of a cabbage. @themerl.bsky.social #absoluteunit #merl

Obvious take: if you have time to worry about what's happening in other people's private lives you need more or better hobbies.

Happy #Bloomsday!

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I would vote for him in a second. THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED. @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov maybe people would respect you more if you had this kind of will. youtu.be/gEinZzXFcXM?...

Got my first paper copy of The Onion. Fifteen year old boy child was very interested to read. Picked up. Dropped it. Couldn't figure out how newspapers worked. "These are so awkward. Why are they like this?" #ButCanHeReadCursive @theonion.com

Measles is [checks notes] a virus. ...[Drs] had seen “very, very good results,” [Kennedy claimed] by treating measles cases with a steroid, budesonide; an antibiotic called clarithromycin; and cod liver oil, which he said had high levels of vitamin A and vitamin D. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/h...

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Great website. Put in your zip code and it will tell you how much the Rep.budget will cost your district -- in money and lives. democrats-budget.house.gov/legislation/...

Relistening to @quammen.bsky.social Spillover. These scientists who went and found hosts and intermediate hosts of Ebola and Marburg, Hendra and Nipa and Sars just had their units decimated by Pres. Musk. I can't wait until Ebola gets on a plane to the US and WHO says "sorry. You're on your own."

@johnismay.bsky.social is salty today and I am HERE for it. [Long quote from his news update on NYT but is worth it I promise]

Is it wrong to wish that one of the ebola patients being helped by USAID decides to take a plane trip to the U.S.? #askingforafriend

So I just tried to pour ginger ale in my cup without my glasses on. So that went well. Also Gaza is a distraction; don't fall for it.

Dog snuggles help when everything is awful.
