Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

It's not JUST that Trump is incompetent, corrupt, racist, and criminal, he is DEFINITELY showing signs of dementia. His father died with an advanced case of it, and YES the condition IS inheritable. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump's mental decline appears to be accelerating. So why isn’t the media reporting on it? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-why-isnt-the-media-reporting-dec

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Little Village community organizer Chela Garcia starts the demo by calling out Chicago police for, she says, shielding federal agents as they attempted to detain a minor this weekend. "Every time police collaborate with ICE, they are not serving us. They are serving a racist agenda," she says.

Chicago Police District Councilor Dion McGill says community members have seen actions from CPD officers that seem to violate the IL TRUST Act, which limits cooperation between state & federal police on immigration enforcement. "Words like collusion and collaboration are used constantly," he says.

“An American general who slaughtered a goat in front of his army before battle would not reassure his men; a Greek general who failed to do so might well panic them.” — @bretdevereaux.bsky.social

Data's journey to understand what it means to be human would never have truly been complete without the experience of being affectionately bothered by a persistent feline companion.

Just this morning, I watched a previously healthy 16yo boy get carried off in an ambulance due to an accident. You can become disabled so fast.

It doesn’t matter if Schumer worked behind the scenes to orchestrate the cave, or it’s simply that he + Durbin are so weak that they couldn’t whip the Dem Caucus against it. Either way, he must be removed from power. We are fighting fascists. We need leaders who fight back, not kneel to oligarchs.

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear: We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people. If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

Plenty! Got some turnaround videos too. Anything in particular you're looking for?

Do any of you have any Rainbow Warriors you've painted (or drawn for that matter) that you wouldn't mind us using in a video? Full credit would be given on screen, obviously.

The Blue Gender film is terrible but out of nowhere has a few seconds of some of the best mech combined arms combat, I get the feeling they were just desperate to do Starship Troopers: Earth Hive

Cause of the kit required to survive at altitude all the maintenance shots of the ALMA observatory look like they're from Deserts of Kharak

I'm going to miss when Finland decommissions their last fortress islands, I get the concept is outdated but coastal batteries are just so cool.

What a coincidence!

Idiom Origin “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible. A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on. This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

It’s telling that he sleeps easy now that he is no longer personally discomforted — while millions are being priced out of their health insurance. I can’t imagine the level of callousness it takes to prioritize being liked over the health and well being of millions of Americans. For shame.

While we're at it, why do we pay for a fire department when most houses don't even burn down.

"FBI says people dressed as ICE agents are committing a string of crimes" we know, they're ICE agents, we're all watching it too

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

An Ironkin trolling people amuses me.

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

icymi, the senate deal also kills 325,000 jobs in the hemp industry, meaning our bsky comrades like @fraying.bsky.social who runs a small-time farm that makes cbd products, is absolutely fucked if that part makes it through reconciliation

This is something I’ve been puzzled by for a decade now. You look at any right wing reply account, influencer, Last Name BunchaNumbers, Patriot Grandma, TERF, etc. There is no happiness, no hobbies, no celebration or personality. It’s just unrelenting, one-note grievance & cruelty. Literal NPCs.

You didn't get a vote. You got a "promise" of a vote. From a party who is disappearing nannies & gardeners and zip-tying children. A party who has flushed Due Process in America down the toilet. Who has subjugated its Congressional duties to an autocrat. That's what everybody sees, Tim.

Almost everything is Not Great but at least we have comics! And those are pretty great, tbh. At SIDEQUESTED, poor Prince Leopold is puzzling things out. #comic #comics #webcomic #webcomics sidequested.com

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors. Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor. Reverse Robin Hood.

Never needed to bust this one out more chucklefuck

Kim Davis has been fighting to overturn gay marriage for years. She’s been fighting to be absolved of denying a marriage license to a gay couple Today she lost her last shot at an appeal. The Supreme Court denied her request to hear her case and ordered her to pay $360,000!

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I think more and more Democrats are moving into the "burn it all down" camp because they understand the threat, but the party is not fully there for the reason Bouie lays out below. Republicans know this and can use it against Democrats.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. We need courageous leaders that put working families at the center of all they do. 8 democrats caving to empty promises is an indefensible leadership failure For the sake of our country, Schumer needs to resign.

When Tucker Carlson platformed a white supremacist and the Heritage Foundation defended him, a MAGA civil war ensued that is eating the conservative movement alive.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy. "I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."
