Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week. Everyone ready? Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

Flight delays are expected across the country for a third straight day as the FAA braced for more airport staffing shortages amid the ongoing government shutdown.

This photo was a happy accident. I was photographing the white-tailed doe when her fawn came out of the shadows. I love the way this turned out. #mammals 🌿

The housing agency projects it’ll cost $5,450 to retrofit units with window heat pumps compared with the $40,000 per unit it paid to install centralized systems at some smaller housing complexes.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

“The American Farm Bureau Federation projects per-acre losses this year of $169 for corn, $114 for soybeans, $111 for wheat and $379 for cotton. “Higher farm safety net programs passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill won't begin paying out until a year from now.” www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/...

While politicians in DC argue, working people pay the price. Audrey cleans the Smithsonian. Tiara protects it. Maria keeps federal buildings spotless.
 All three are losing income & sleep as the government shutdown drags on. Shutdowns don’t punish politicians—they punish people. seiu.co/4o8jpgA

As Trump terrorizes law-abiding immigrant families across our country, schoolchildren are being arrested, detained, and deported. In NYC, at least 5 children have been detained. @ocasio-cortez.house.gov, @repespaillat.bsky.social and I are demanding answers for ICE’s immoral targeting of children.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

CNN: “Nashville’s air traffic approach control will go dark for five hours tonight due to short staffing—the second FAA facility in as many days to shut down over shortages.”

In my remarks at UVA about AI & the environment, I said the next 10 years of AI energy policy, in data centers, power infrastructure, & society, will set the trajectory of costs and emissions, and who bears those costs and emissions, for the next few decades. We don't want to look back with regret.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

Proud to stand with my Virginia colleagues against the White House’s bogus threat to deny furloughed federal workers back pay. The law is clear: back pay is guaranteed. Families can’t be used as pawns in Trump & Vought’s shutdown.

(deep breath) backlog is cleaned up. still have three lists, but they are looking forward. Only 7 things on my to-do list for tomorrow. Could be 8. Depends on if I go mow the lawn now or not. 🩰

It's already been a day. Thought things were going well. Then, unexpected stuff that I had to sort out. Of course there was. (phooey). One more round of numbers, a couple of calls, and then I can get to work. 🙃

Welcome to finance and accounting. It's going to be a great day! How much would you like? Really? (chuckles and grins) I might get most of my backlog finished this morning. That would be awesome!

Florida State Board of Education threatens school administrators with criminal prosecution over library books

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

“A financial crisis could be looming. Private-equity-backed insurance companies are funneling policyholders’ premiums into the energy and infrastructure investments required to power the A.I. boom, much as banks before the financial crisis funded a mortgage boom they didn’t fully understand.” Gift:

My to-do list was too long. So, I made three? I did. It helps. I only expect to finish one right now. The other two will take more time. I'm trying to do projections for a show that needs thousands and figure out how to get groceries next week. I know what I'd do with a budget if I had one. I do.

“If (AI crime prediction is) paired with invasive technologies such as face recognition, which itself reflects biases and makes errors that have led to false arrests, the potential harm is exponential," EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @Mashable.com. mashable.com/article/ai-...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Chicago Sun-Times - Illinois sued President Trump early this morning over the deployment of National Guard troops into the state against the wishes of Gov. Pritzker. https://chicago.suntimes.com/donald-trump/2025/10/06/illinois-sues-trump-over-national-guard-deployment

After the web site, needed to sort out the business plan with buckets (most of them) for the shows and budgets. Four pages. Not done, but I got the outline and some of the discussion.😁 That's what drives everything. I wish there was an instant way to make the budgets and plans appear. Decisions. 🤔

⚡️ In recent days, Russia has destroyed 2 transformer substations that powered Kharkiv. And looking at the dynamics of the attacks, it is already clear that the coming winter will be the most difficult for Kharkiv in all the years of the war, — the mayor of the city.

We can use taxpayer tariff money to pay off soybean monocrop farmers all we want, but soybean exports are never coming back. Brazil took full advantage to Dumbass Tariffs #1, Dumbass Tariffs #2 is just the fillet after the skinning.

A federal judge issued a broader order barring the federal government from relocating National Guard members to Oregon from any state. via @oregoncapitalchronicle.com www.newsfromthestates.com/article/fede...

Good morning. Went out front to look at the stars. More cars going past than I expected. 6:30 commute? So I commuted my way to the patio, and did some biz planning with coffee. I'm very lucky to be able to do that. Hard work for more years than I'll say got me here. And a lot of luck. 🍀

i am actually real, real mad about a lot of this, trump is destroying my fucking life for a second time, 2020 was incredibly hard *because of him* and he's doing it again, at the rate we're going, no one in this city will get another job in the next fifteen fucking years

Judge Karin Immergut held a hearing tonight and issued a second TRO in the Oregon v. Trump case, barring the Trump administration from sending *any* National Guard federalized under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to Oregon from any state or D.C. Check out @chrisgeidner.bsky.social's thread for much more —>

This is one of those emblematic moments that reveal how broken political coverage is. You don't have to just report what he says! You have five senses!

Everyone should be saying this. The burden is on them to DISPROVE that his aides aren't running things because he is feebleminded. They can't. Make this a drumbeat.

Trump is endangering visitors and wildlife by keeping national parks open during the shutdown.“Now is not the time to use the parks and public lands as pawns in political games.” From @whitneycwimbish.bsly.social: trib.al/b6ShVLC

Sen. Gallego: "Who are we dealing with? Mike Johnson has sent away the Republicans to hide the Epstein list. Trump, the man who wrote 'The Art of the Deal,' cannot be found anywhere...There's negotiations to be had, but two of the three people that need to be involved are gone."

Only 200 were made. But that hasn't stopped everyone who walks into Sharp's industrial design museum from wanting to walk out with one of these beauties.

NEW: Gavin Newsom says that Trump has ordered 300 previously federalized CA National Guard troops into Oregon to end-run Judge Immergut's ruling blocking the federalization of the Oregon National Guard. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/05/g...

Just released a new piece for our Artist Anthology shows. 👠🤩 We are looking for new/more talent, btw. It's not paid, yet. If I could I would. Right now, a mostly open mic and syndication. Positive and family-friendly. Thanks. 🥰🙏 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
