In Springfield, OH, a Haitian father is shot driving his kids to church. "They said he was going to give someone a ride and 'they just shot him. I don’t know why.'" But I bet JD Vance knows why. There's blood on his hands. Plenty of it. www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/crime/...

"A new report has revealed that 90 per cent of utility-scale renewable energy capacity added in 2025 was cheaper than the lowest-cost new fossil fuel alternative, helping to avoid an estimated $480 billion in fossil fuel costs by year’s end."

San Diego knows all about this shit, there's nothing CBP loves more than chasing a bunch of scared kids straight into a tree because they "looked undocumented"

If Elon wants to go to Mars, I say, the sooner, the better. Why? It’s a one-way trip; physics says so. Two words: cosmic rays. 6 months on Mars’s lower gravity will wreck his endocrine, vascular, and, skeletal systems Mars dust is FULL of perchlorates. The Rocket Equation.

Alfie the Patterdale cross terrier and his favourite toy. He was 14 on Gotcha day when I started fostering him all by chance - too small and old for the rescue kennels really. He's now 15, loves his home comforts and acts like a puppy. #terriertuesday #dogsofbluesky

Bologna opens a new library containing more than 32,000 books from Umberto Eco's private study - arranged exactly as he left them - a decade after his death.

Support for Israel has continued to crater among Democrats. A poll, released Tuesday, finds that 58 percent of Democrats say the U.S. is too supportive of Israel. This is a double digit increase from January 2024,

Tuesday was good in Norway. 😀 A different perspective on the lower falls. I had to almost perform gymnastics to get this video. Vøringsfossen (Eidfjord, Vestland) #nature #waterfall #landscapephotography

This article reminded me that WaPo is one of the only publications left in the United States that literally has a rule against using the word "Palestine" even in contexts in which it only makes sense to use that word.

Hey, @cnn.com One of your talking mouths said he spoke to McConnell for 20 minutes. You gonna cover that like a news story or Nah?

I spoke to my old friend Scar this morning. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes ... about SIMBA, HYENAS, and even a bit of Pride Lands history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible. #dogsofbluesky #AdoptDontShop

Close to a million investors of the Trump memecoin lost a collective $3.8 billion, even as the president disclosed $636 million in earnings. Donald Trump was born a crook and he will always be a crook and more. He has taught his children how to be crooks.

anyway! one of the reasons why american chattel slavery was SO egregious -- and was seen as such by others at the time -- was bc we had a society where some ppl had all the rights and freedoms that enlightenment society insisted were natural to mankind, and some had no rights at all

finally have a few minutes to weigh in on the big controversy that's roiling bluesky today. i'm talking, of course, about the working conditions of the people who built the pyramids

🎯 @mikenellis.bsky.social : “If @scottjenningsky & Thune can have calls with McConnell, he should be able to shoot a proof of life video… they know the special election deadline is 8/3.” If they’re Weekend At Bernie’s-ing Mitch to 🦆 an election that should be a crime. (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

This is what Ginger thinks of the paparazzi

Paxton warned Texans not to lie about their address to vote. Then voted six times from an address he'd already moved out of. Somebody call the tip line on the guy who runs the tip line.

I heard you were looking for a handsome little devil. Here I am.

That's the thing. They get their news exclusively from Trump-friendly sources that have a personal stake in keeping Trump and Republicans in office. They either have no knowledge of the corruption or think that news of that corruption is fake.

Republicans hiding McConnell So they can try and pass the voter rigging act that Trump insist they pass

Due to circumstances (my publisher downsizing), I recently reobtained the rights to my novel. I'm currently reformatting it so it can go back on sale. Guys, sometimes I forget I actually wrote a book. It's a pretty good read, I think. I can't wait to share it with everyone again.

Having a decorative chess set just doesn't work great with cat ownership.

Before anyone drafts a sympathy card, roll the tape. There's McConnell on Hannity, beaming like a man showing off vacation photos and taking a victory lap for the judicial vacancies he created by blockading a sitting president's nominees.

Oh no. Coral is up for adoption at my local shelter, and by all accounts, she appears to be a very good girl.

Behaviores Report: 100 dingdang perscent goode!

Ida Lupino, 1943 “For the informal type of entertaining, now so much the vogue in Hollywood, Ida Lupino prefers slacks. She models one of her more tailored outfits… . Her newest Warner Bros. film is ‘THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS.’”

“Nothing I did in my career, ever, was planned.” Farewell to Louise Lasser (1939-2026) — a singular presence on stage, TV commercials, in films like BANANAS (1971) and, most unforgettably, as the title character on the Emmy-winning, Norman Lear-produced MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN (1976-77).

The Belgian players doing the Trump dance in the locker room after beating the USA is hilarious! 😂😂😂

Me pretending to injure myself at work so they'll send me home.

I’m about to do this to my dog. If I don’t post again tonight, you’ll know she murdered me instead of playing the game.

Feeling really left out that Mitch McConnell is calling everyone but me

This Northern Yellow Warbler fledgling thought the assignment was "living origami" and is WINNING. #birds

You know, it's pretty wild that all the journalists we are supposed to respect don't know if a sitting senator is dead or not

US military officials “knew within days (of the strike on the school) how the mistake happened,” one of the sources said. “It was obviously old info.” This was a US strike. It was a rush job. Intelligence had not been updated. Hegseth has been lying to cover it up. www.cnn.com/2026/07/07/p...

There’s something magical about seeing a Japanese band in the US because despite the language barrier, somehow the crowd understood lol That was the most Japanese I’ve heard from Americans

Talked with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today...

Kitten named Korn

I didn't even know this had happened?
