Time to whip em out! It’s #HotStickSaturday

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

Obama will always be the better man.

A valkyrie with drinking horn greets a horseman - who appears to have ridden from the longship below - on an eight-legged horse, probably Odin's Sleipnir 🐎 This Gotlandic picture stone from Garda, Bote, almost certainly depicts the welcome of a fallen warrior to Valhalla. My 📷 Historiska museet

Cool! My irises are blooming! 😊

each of us has a unique string of experiences - & where there are differences between ours & other's - there are gaps in understanding where misunderstandings may lie - we All feel informed & justified in our beliefs - there's Always more to learn about each other and the issues that impact us. ✌️⚖️👍❤️

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

Heritage’s OWN data: noncitizen voting <0.0001% (over 40 years). Not enough to swing even close races. Trump tried to prove fraud: • 62 lawsuits • 61 lost/dropped • 1 meaningless procedural win Our elections ARE secure. Tell your Senators - vote NO on the SAVE Act!

DOJ is trying to take ethics investigations, in-house, removing an important check on attorney misconduct. My thoughts in @msnowreports.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/doj-...

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

communication can thrive if we foster being clear about our experiences & values -along with what we believe & why -& that we ask the same of others -so that we lessen letting the limitations of previous experiences -& how they shaped expectations & beliefs -sabotage progress towards understanding ✌️

If you live in a #seaside town, you probably have strong opinions about seagulls! Personally I love them, but I have to say that the sight of gulls following you, as you walk home from the chippy, is always unnerving. Watch the skies! #photograph #photooftheday #birdphotography

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

One of my favorite writers for shy, fearful, and reactive dogs is Emily Savage. https://f.mtr.cool/zcmpypybjn  Check out her website for information in equipment, training, science, and behavior challenges that guardians encounter with the pups that we love. #smallbusiness #dogsofbluesky

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

In amongst all the frightening news, a large expanse of a rippled cloud sky above Sunday morning standing in the garden, with brother staying from Qld, he said rain to come in the next couple of days. Second day of rain now. Mackerel sky. I didn’t take this photo being present to the conversation 😊🙏

we are misunderstanding each other about what we experience & value & what we believe & why -& that springs from the differences in our experiences -the greater -the more difficult it is to overcome the differences in expectations & beliefs -which tend to derail communication before the goal. 😔🌎✌️⚖️👍❤️

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

Please speak out. Speak up. I know some people can't, but the ones who can please speak now. We need your voice.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

My god I’m nostalgic for a time when none of this would have made any sense.

Putin and Trump’s work paying off, so many years gave them tangible results

I need to acknowledge the fact I'm in a slump so I can take the steps to actually comeback from it. When you lose someone you cared for years its hard to not feel empty long after she's gone... Like its hard to take care of myself with out being relied on. If that makes sense. I miss my bunny

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

The Onion may as well retire

Palantir has no place in our NHS. The Labour government must get this Mandelson and Trump backed company out now. Listen to what health workers are saying. news.sky.com/story/nhs-ho...

He Called Them Weak. Now He Needs Them. By Tony Pentimalli There is a special kind of stupidity that only power can conceal for a while. A reckless man can insult allies, sneer at treaties, mock shared sacrifice,

They are going to test the limits of what people are willing to sign onto to avoid cognitive dissonance. It would be an interesting psychological experiment if it wasn’t also an existential crisis.

after all these years I just realized my watercolor brush handle isn’t straight. I’ll still love it and accept it though

What would happen if your dog ever accidentally got out without you? A door that didn't latch, a fence that blew down in strong winds. Or maybe they see a dog across the street and dart past you when you're carrying groceries in? Management & training tips: https://bit.ly/4as7W7F #DogsofBluesky

Dinner is served. Guess we’re having extra protein tonight, but I hear they taste like chicken.

And here is a plate dahlia on a plate! It’s so soft yet so strong. I love it.

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

The war reflects the decline of US global hegemony, not its strength. Trumpism is a response to this decline, attempting to reassert dominance through militarism and coercion.
