"The Dow is over 50,000 right now." - Pam Bondi, doing the cost-benefit analysis for child rape

The excellent 26 min documentary "Racist Roots" from the Ctr for Death Penalty Litigation traces how capital punishment evolved from lynching & other forms of anti-Black violence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=55mV... #NorthCarolina

@amejx.bsky.social, I have only noticed pictures from restaurants before today. This is a great thing to know about!!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Playtime!

Taxation without representation, y’all?

I think they call that perjury.

So conservatives are pissed off at Steve Bannon for emails showing he was in the Epstein files & he was pals with Epstein. Spare me. Why aren’t these so called conservatives pissed off at Trump for being ALL OVER the Epstein files & for being BEST PALS with Epstein? www.mediaite.com/media/news/e...

Ghislaine Maxwell should languish in prison for the rest of her life and her body should be interred in the prison cemetery with no marker. Her names deseves the same contempt as Hitler.

An "underage woman" is a 30-year-old trying to run for POTUS but can't because the law says she has to be 35 to qualify. A "child" is a person under age 18, like the children that Epstein raped and abused, and GOP is now trying to cover up to protect Trump. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The #WalkforPeace monks will be having lunch at Christ Church in Alexandria, today. No visitation at their sleep stop tonight.

My Drosera binata has lost its MIND with this grow light. And the Nepenthes has a little pitcher shaping up in spite of only getting western window light and that bulb over it. (Drosera aren’t supposed to be vines.)

Homan has changed nothing

How the FUCK does this align with HIPAA!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!

Went to the opening reception today. (It had been postponed due to weather.) It is gorgeous. The park is wonderful. The art is fantastic. If you can get to Raleigh this month, do it. www.dixpark.org/living-color Also, Chuck has a photo in it.

What? the ACTUAL? FUCK?!!

As armed federal agents terrorize workers across the US, organized labor is increasingly stepping up to respond.

NEW EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AD: “3 million files still not released — stand with us. Tell AG Pam Bondi to release the files. It’s time for the truth.”

Another thing from WAM. I have been a fan of Andy Goldsworthy since a friend introduced me to his work nearly 20 years ago. This is the only time I've seen a piece of his in person.

This seems to be a positive example of unintended consequences. www.vox.com/health/47776...

We went to the Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNC-Greensboro yesterday. Chuck and I each took a sheet. He folded his up. I kept mine flat. What does that say about us? HE makes art. I curate it. 😆

So many names in such small print. Israel should be ashamed. America should be ashamed for supporting it. It isn't anti-semetic to be anti-Zionist. hyperallergic.com/brooklyn-wal...

EMG got more shrubs and trees donated than they could manage this season. We picked up a pot of dwarf crested iris (my last batch got overgrown by Japanese stilt grass), a couple of bareroot River birch twigs and another pair of gingkos. The trees are in a bucket until they can be planted.

I love this a lot.

@criticalthinker75.bsky.social and @vhemt4all.bsky.social This looks tasty.

This is scary. And not crazy.

I think serious bonsai is out of my price range. I don't know that I want to pay over $100 JUST to see trees. And the prices of workshops IN ADDITION is hefty. Aside from the fact that most were already sold out when I was alerted to the lineup. americanbonsaisociety.regfox.com/abs-learning...
