Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Hope you're able to check it out!

this is the way

if donald trump said quiet piggy to a girl in front of me you’d see me on the evening news, of that you can be certain

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is Reggie. He was just told about daylight savings time. More like daylight starving time. 13/10 (TT: melandreggie)

He survived in the Frenchest possible way.

Another event complete. 💜 It was a beautiful blend of familiar faces and first-time attendees discovering the magic of Kupo. I adored the banter from the locals and admire those who journeyed from afar. Until next time, au revoir, kupo.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Day one: that's a wrap!

I'm back in my happy place!! Please know, that every single one of you I've met at one of these little ditties has helped make these cons as perfect as they always are. (Terrible sentence - you get it)

Rain poured, thunder boomed, and STILL we had around 900 people at the rally today! People cheering and laughing and having a great time letting our voices be heard. 💙🎉👏 #nokings

This is very sad news. She was singular and irreplaceable.

10 wolves have already been killed in MT since hunting season opened last week. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections. As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

i thought this was a joke but it's not and now i'm a ghost, RIP me

“Just tell me where you keep the cookies and I’ll be on my way.” “And what if I don’t?” “Those look like comfy slippers. It would be a shame if something happened to them.”

this all reminds me so much of Under the Dome

i don’t know if rowlf singing “what a wonderful world” to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe it’s both. i think I needed both.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

This will help you find a public radio or television station that stands to lose 50 percent or more of its revenue:

The EPA will eliminate its scientific research arm, firing chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists.. As a result it can no longer assess impacts upon human health and the environment. Its destruction will devastate public health in the US… 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/c...

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

if you haven't learned a fun fact today you can borrow the one i learned: seymour cray, designer of cray supercomputers, attributed his success and groundbreaking ideas to "the elves (who) will often come to me with solutions to my problem" while digging in the tunnel he made under his house

WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!

I found a fun new way to expose AI bots.

Once again @sarahtaber.bsky.social has fantastic info to share

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

This is so NICE. It's a little long but super worth it. 🥰

Rest assured that here in Illinois, our LGBTQ+ community can be who they want to be. They are safe here. They are celebrated here. They are welcome here. And they are free to love who they love here. No matter the month, I'll always be an ally in the fight for equality for all.

Democrats have been asked to disavow Zohran more than Republicans have been asked to disavow the guy who murdered two Democrats. Says a lot about how profoundly fucked up our political and media situation is right now.

@npr.org continuing to tarnish itself. I won't be renewing - obviously. Assassinated. They were murdered.

This is such a great thread. Also, Biscuit is gorgeous @danhon.com The grooming is grooming, dahling.

This broke me from the first paragraph "For Melissa Hortman’s last day at work, they draped her coffin with pink flowers and filled the cold marble under the Minnesota Capitol dome with the green and growing things that she loved." Thank you, @stribrooks.bsky.social

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Well, this is gonna be fun! Can't wait to see everyone 😊

This is incredibly cool 🌌
