At the doctor the other day, a little guy waiting came right up to sit next to me. His mom was like, “Give some space!” I let her know it’s fine! I have kids, too, even if they’re older. He can sit where he likes. :)

Uncle in Iran says the country’s south is being destroyed. Trump is following through on his “bridge and power plant day” threats but it’s simply not registering here the way that it should.

Today’s visitor is a Weidemeyer’s admiral butterfly! A new one for me.

Another bizarre Grok Korean translation involving Tomodachi Life 🫠 Despite Grok embarrassing the company on a global scale with sex-themed translations involving the game, no one has added a parameter to Grok that 친모아 (Chin-mo-a) does not mean stepmother, it means Tomodachi Life. Mini🧵...

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

The Council is proud to fund free swimming lessons for over 9,000 public school students this year!

Each one better than the last.

I feel like this is what happens when a leader truly knows their district/city. When they have friends that work in bars and restaurants that complain that there’s nothing fun to do after work. It’s not a seismic shift, just a little, “I know you.”

The US has now bombed seven bridges around Bandar Abbas, Iran, effectively cutting off the city.

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

The perfect parody doesn't exis-

Dang they really got a category for everything

a few good Jessica’s

Gee I wonder if there will be any insider trading scandals related to this

Bee bedtime.

I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.

Investigators have linked shredded iceberg lettuce supplied to Taco Bell restaurants by Taylor Farms as a potential source of contamination in the cyclosporiasis outbreak, according to a report

Twice today I’ve come out to find a paper wasp taking a long drink. I guess the metal surface works fine and they don’t need the pebbles I have in there!

Important paper from @stevevladeck.bsky.social exploring how SCOTUS is steadily undermining the authority of the judiciary as a whole by treating federal district court rulings as provisional findings that can be whimsically swept adide. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

The tell with all of this is your kids can be taught by sex bots dressed up like John Oliver, but the tech barons send their kids to schools where they don't allow phones and there is an art AND music teacher.

Here’s this guy again, but on the swamp milkweed instead of the showy.

Today a swallowtail stopped by the day lilies.

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community

If you have some space to plant something that pollinators like—even just a pot of flowers on your windowsill—it is really fun to watch the bees eventually find your plants and bring their friends. They’ll return every day! And you’ll help them find more plants around you.

Public utilities are another example of something that should be paid for with taxes and not have shareholders. Cell service, broadband, water, food, education, shelter, health care - we should just be paying for this and getting the benefit without the profiteering.

In addition, I’m ready for leaders that aren’t my parents’ age. 55 or younger, please.

In light of the recent data breach of Ksenia Sobchak’s media empire, Ostorozhno Media, exposing her as working directly with Russian authorities, I want to remind everyone that this ✨️article ✨️ exists. ​The Kremlin keeps sending stool pigeons to the West, and Western media publishes every piece of

The Man.

Yes! Talk about family values. I love that children and their care is treated as a real thing, and that night of respite is great. Whether this is folks going out or folks staying in with some quiet, it’s awesome!

More beef tallow fries for the lot of you! They’re the healthy alternative!

Part of this is also telling people that you love and appreciate them. It’s wholesome and good for the sender and receiver of the message.

grim reaper finally locked the fuck in. he's standing in front of that claw machine with a roll of quarters and an agenda

i stand corrected

This is the first thing I saw waking up today 🤣🤣 This is gonna be a good week!

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

I had to double-check this but so far, July is shaping up to be a good month.

This bunny DGAF about me. It lives under the house and has identified that I am not a threat.

I’ve been watering the grow bags every 3 days, but I think I need to up it to every other day. I’m getting tiny veggies.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three who built houses in Houston, started his own business, and raised his family here for 35 years. His son became a teacher. ICE agents killed him in cold blood. 🧵

Someone said it looks like a suburban Thai restaurant lol

Many GOP representatives quite often are just clumsily aping the degeneracy of their base to get ahead: the degenerate base - millions and millions of people - are the intractable problem.

Fuck ICE.

Last night I dreamed that I was attending a play at a Jewish community farm. After intermission, there was a musical number about the value of the farm to the community and a giant pea that rose from the ground. Ready for the real play now.
