Heh. My morning started out by accidentally dropping one of my ibuprofen tablets into my coffee this morning. It was more than half dissolved by the time I was able to rush to the kitchen to shuffle the coffee into another cup. Guess that's one way to take them. Bottoms up!

It's important to note, as I have multiple times, that it's possible to be Jewish - as I am - and still condemn Israel for genocidal acts. In fact, the history of Judaism makes it clear Jews are obligated to speak out. Never again *means* never again. #zachor

Pluribus is so good?? It’s like if the X-Files and The Good Place had an extremely upsetting but darkly funny baby

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

Went to Bristol’s Totterdown Art trail. Didn’t take a single picture but filled my eyes with beauty, my heart with wonder, & my arms with hugs from old & new friends. So many folk adding beauty to the world! So it delights me every time I hear that my songs are being sung & heard & remembered.

That's my photo! How cool is that?? (Although I do hope the original user bought a copy from one of the stock photo agencies I work with and didn't just lift it from my social media feed.)

this is the way

Get your shots, folks. It won't prevent you from getting infected, but it could lessen the severity and keep you out of the hospital.

A reminder that the President, an adjudicated rapist, a fraud, grifter, murderer, and felon, is also a pedophile.

A reminder, for no reason whatsoever, to please NOT wear cologne/perfume or strongly smelling lotion while flying. Even an N95 mask won't stop it.

RE: https://aus.social/@DenisCOVIDinfoguy/115529129167988514 Yanno.. the places some of us have been avoiding since 2020. Avoiding like the... ahem....

If you struggle with "stuff", you might consider, for the benefit of those you may leave behind, to start chipping away at it. Clothes you don't ever wear.. Magazines you'll never cut the articles out of... Books you aren't reading anymore... Closets you avoid.... Garage storage shelves packed […]

If I didn't live in California I'd move to Illinois.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

I have reached the point where I'm playing chicken with Mother Nature. I have tomatoes that are just starting to take a blush on the vine, and I want to give them as much time on the vine to ripen before we hit our first freeze. I think she's gonna swerve first. 😆

we need to fix our hearts.

If you contribute to violent shit getting on my timeline without a CW, I'm going to block you. I don't care that people need to see it. I don't care that you think you know better than me what should be on my timeline. I don't care if you're a celebrity of the fucking highest order. Block. 100%

If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Republicans shut down the government. Here’s what happens now.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

One of my less well-founded opinions is that Hallmark movies are rural/conservative anti-urban propaganda. It’s always “business lady moves to the quaint small town, falls for lumberjack”, never the reverse, and the small town is never a rotting wasteland of meth and racism.

Ahh better!

Moral of the story? Stand up to bullies!

It's time for your Friday reality check! Trump is so weak and insecure, he had a childish tantrum about an escalator. He is in such severe cognitive decline, he can't pronounce "acetaminophen" or walk in a straight line. He's a rapist, a felon, and a national disgrace. Don't surrender in advance.

Good news: Jimmy Kimmel Live! is back on the air in Seattle tonight, Friday night! Thank you Sinclair for listening.

Congress has just four days before the government shuts down, and Republicans are refusing to do their jobs. As Trump threatens federal workers and Republicans push chaos, the truth is, they have the majority. It's time for them to work to protect jobs and keep the gov’t funded.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Having a Mormon therapist is fun because when you say “don’t we all have a family member who started a cult in the Idaho woods?” she says pfft no, ours was in Wyoming

SEATTLE MENTIONED (and not as a lawless terrorist enclave on a fox opinion show) lmao

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

French President walking to the UN but unable to get there because of Trump's motorcade seems like an apt metaphor for America's role now on the world stage

Oh yay! A Marian Call concert! She has a lovely voice and writes great music including nerd anthems. All y'all should tune in.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.
