I have a lens that I never take out anymore because it's not nearly as good as the one I upgraded to. Each time I think to sell it, I take it out one more time and always get a shot or two that I like. So back on the shelf it goes until next time I decide to sell it. 😀 #FlyDay #Photography #Bees

Starting today, we’re bringing five World Cup matches to 200 LinkNYC kiosks in all five boroughs. This historic public partnership with @noticiastelemundo.com is bringing the beautiful game straight to our sidewalks.

Another piece that I was really excited to write. Why has South Africa’s judicial transformation been so successful when the judiciary was so heavily implicated in apartheid’s crimes? And what lessons does that transformation hold for us?

I am a certified "AI" hater and very much want to see the government step in and destr... *ahem* regulate these companies, but it's not good for the White House to be doing this targeted vengeance schtick instead.

It would be a D&D tournament. 20 tables, DMs chosen from a roster of local psychopaths, cabinet officials and Joint Chiefs members and White House staff playing through Tomb of Horrors 2e

My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.

May she rest in peace. Yolen had an enormous impact on our field. Touch Magic was one of the first visions of the power of storytelling that ever shook me up and made me consider what I was really doing with storytelling.

Fish as fluid as the ocean. 🌊 All California sheephead start life as female and move through an array of colors and body shapes as they mature. Some female adults may transition to male as social and environmental factors shift, balancing the delicate ratio of individuals in their population.

One year after 300+ NIH staff signed the #BethesdaDeclaration, the #NIH has descended into hell. Jay Bhattacharya gaslights as Russ Vought dismantles the NIH, little by little, disrupts funding, replaces valuable non-partisan expertise w/ political ideology. Detailed 🧵 🧪 archive.today/5Yb1j

If the GOP wants to talk about fraud, let’s do it. Trump is responsible for: ✅Defrauding students ✅Crypto scams ✅Corrupt foreign deals ✅Self-dealing gov contracts ✅Shady real estate transactions ✅Pump & dump stock schemes ✅Pardons for allies Care to comment, @houserepublicans.bsky.social?

Trump promised to lower prices on day one. He lied. Because of his reckless, illegal war of choice in Iran, Americans have collectively paid an extra $59 BILLION in higher prices at the pump. Every decision this administration makes is pushing inflation through the roof.

Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common. .... From my book Recollections of My Nonexistence.

The right-wing "you're not allowed" means, Woe is me, I shall not be universally coddled and admired when I unleash the hideous ugliness of my prejudice and hatred. See: Alito complained that “you can’t say that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. Now it’s considered bigotry.”

By one estimate, Trump could save at least $100 million if the IRS drops an audit into shady accounting maneuvers used by his business. It seems like there's a new story of corruption every day from this regime. We must not become numb to them.

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

Sometimes all it takes is one kind person. Such a sweet memory to have of a good man, and he loved cats too.

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.
