When I was a child growing up with The Flintstones, The Jetsons, etc. it was just common sense that people and dinosaurs didn’t live at the same time on earth. Only stupid kids with stupid parents, stupid friends and stupid pastors would believe a cartoon as a representation of actual history.

I see that #photogenic #birds are trending today, so here’s a red-winged blackbird singing its heart out for your Friday!

Penguin Random House has started adding Bluesky as an option of where readers get book recs when they send out their Reader's Lounge surveys. We're slowly getting there 🙂‍↕️ 💙📚 #booksky

“we have to fight back by voting” when we just VOTED and had that taken from us is INSANE

These are the kind of fighters we need. It's going to get nasty, folks. Time for massive Civil disobedience. We need 100 million on the street or we're headed for Civil War.

Maui Mayor Richard Bissen says tourist who threw rock at Lani, a local Hawaiian monk seal, in viral video will be prosecuted The person has been identified as a 37‑year‑old tourist from Seattle, Washington "Lani is a beloved seal and cherished member of Lāhainā's ocean ʻohana"

Good morning ☕️

The price of gas at my local Shell station in Seattle increased by another 15 cents per gallon over the past four days. In case you're wondering, that's an annualized rate of inflation of 759%.

NEW: Hours after ProPublica reported on how a federal probe of a drugs-for-votes scheme in Puerto Rico's prisons got quashed after the 2024 elections, some of the territory’s political leaders made public calls for investigations into the allegations.

They are ugly chunks of cheap metal, aren’t they?!

Having a great day. Just saw a cybertruck getting a parking ticket

COWARDS! All of them.

Sorry state we’re in when the president of the United States can call a reporter a bitch for asking a legitimate question about gas prices and the media says nothing… ? Shameful 😔

Destany Pete researched an Indigenous chokecherry recipe and achieved promising “in vitro” results on cancer cells. Her science project gained international recognition for combining traditional knowledge with modern laboratory experimentation.

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

Pretty cool how one side gets to cheat and the other isn’t allowed to win fairly

For when you need to breathe...

Most car accidents aren't "accidents." They're caused by morons doing moronic things. Just like our current gas prices, inflation, national debt.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

MAGA admits that greed is more important than the country. It seems like his greed is short lived because I doubt that he is one of the top 1% #USDemocracy youtu.be/vkX0lCXT-e4?...

florida blatantly disregarding their state constitution is fine though? texas not putting it up to vote is fine though? but dems use a democratic process and virginia is invalid by a technicality?!

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

A lot of people on this platform have fantasy thinking. It’s sad. We are a deeply brainwashed society. The propaganda has been highly effective. People are already dying. These concentration camps are not going to close. ICE is funded by law through September 2029. Disaster is coming.

Trump wanted a war with Iran because he thought Americans would rally around a war president and it would drive his poll numbers up. It did the opposite. So thousands of lives & billions of dollars were wasted, and the price you pay for gas is significantly higher, because Donald Trump is an idiot.

I’ve only seen videos of starlings that move in that choreographed way. It’s called a murmuration.

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

"We commend ABC for standing up for itself and the First Amendment. The legal theories the FCC asserts against broadcast licensees are frivolous and unconstitutional, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr knows it," FPF's @seth-stern.bsky.social said.

Violated a ceasefire then lied about what just transpired. The US can't be trusted for any accurate data while 47 is behind a mic... or any time else.

No opinion. Just posting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

IMPEACH HIM ANYWAY, THE WALKING PIECE OF SCUM.

I tried to warn everyone what the Roberts Court was about almost ten years ago www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One day, we’ll be able to tell our kids and our grandkids - when the future of our country was on the line, we fought for it. And we won. That means getting involved TODAY. Hear it from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

😕🇺🇸 a rigged system

I got to know Tony in 2017. Sometimes, when I read his words, I hear his voice: “Skills can be taught. Character you either have or you don’t have.” — Anthony Bourdain

This is the worst possible time for presidential records to be hidden from the public. Use our action center to tell Congress: Presidential records are vital parts of the American story, and the Justice Department’s efforts to say otherwise are wrong.

Shareholders are entitled to know when the government uses its leverage over corporate transactions to meddle in editorial decisions that the First Amendment leaves to the press. That’s why we’re demanding records on potentially corrupt Paramount acquisitions. freedom.press/issues/press...
