I took today off work. So far, I have eaten cold pizza, leftover cake, and potato chips. I played Animal Crossing twice and took a nap. I spent a lot of time on the porch with the dog. Sometimes the best thing you can do with time is waste it.

Semipalmated Plovers get their name from their partially webbed feet ("palmated" means webbed.) These shorebirds are slightly smaller than an American Robin.

I hit the streets of Seattle looking for someone with $50 million in a trust fund. Why? Because many of the people who do have that much are using complicated trusts to dodge estate taxes. My Fair Trusts for Fiscal Responsibility Act closes the loophole. Let's pass it.

Good coverage of yesterday's events in Selma and Montgomery. We may not have wanted to be in this play, but the this is where you go to learn from those who came before how to act when you are called to this stage.

Such a variety of wildlife when you put a watering spot

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get a library card and explore your local public library. I plan to do so next weekend.

On this day in 1973, Jeannette Rankin died. She was the first woman elected to Congress. In 1917, she told fellow suffragists: “I may be the first woman member of Congress, but I won’t be the last.” Rankin is still the only woman to have represented Montana in Congress. #WeTheMen

Putin is heading to China, where Russia and China are expected to sign around 40 agreements and unveil a declaration on a “multipolar world.” Trump came home with no deals. The contrast is humiliating.

This is Spencer. He asked to see a pic of the situationship you've been telling him about. Thinks maybe it's time to focus on yourself. 13/10 (IG: ourboyspencer)

A historic Civil War battlefield is at risk of being overtaken by the whirring and whooshing of the largest proposed data center complex in the world. Listen to @oberandout.bsky.social’s story on @revealnews.org, available wherever you get your podcasts.

This is Sprout and Granola. They are enjoying a day on the lake. Yes, the propeller hats are necessary. They're helping with acceleration, obviously. 14/10 for both (IG: nolatheiggy)

An insidious danger lurks within all of this... Why are so many data centers being built across the country? Ask yourself, what data are they collecting? 🤨

Good morning BlueSky🌞 🐓🌷🍩☕

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.
