Dying at 38 of a brain tumour OTD in 1937 was one of music’s greatest tragedies. George Gershwin didn’t touch an instrument until he started piano at 10. At 20 his song Swannee sold 2m copies and he then conquered Broadway with 500 more songs. His musical achievement rocketed with his knockout 1/2

Bernie's Correct, Again........

Trump's so-called “reorganization” of the Forest Service is an attack on America’s public lands.   I spoke with folks in Everett about what these cuts would mean for WA state's wildfire preparedness & prevention.

Marco Rubio believes he's going to run for US President whilst simultaneously being the Viceroy of Venezuela.

NEWS: Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a statement vowing revenge:

Kaepernick is the best of everyone ever affiliated with the NFL.

Disingenuous Fox News. Spreading stupidity purposely. And…repeat.

And I will say everything they hate and more, and party like hell.

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

"We’ve been missing the boat by characterizing Trump as breaching ethical standards," writes @rbreich.bsky.social. "Trump isn’t unethical. He’s non-ethical. He isn’t immoral. He’s amoral."

Have you noticed that some of the most effective ads for the Dems are written by the GOP? I love when they say the quiet part out loud! #AccountabilityIsComingNovember3rd

Been trying to figure out what it reminds me of and it's "Main Street USA" at Disneyland. That's his aesthetic.

When did all this daily drama, mania, insanity and lunacy start? Oh yeah, it was January 20, 2025. Every day more corruption, threats, arrests, firings, shootings, indictments, scandals, and power grabs. The other guy was old. This guy is an old, psychotic, malignant narcissist.

These were suppose to be lessons not the play book

MARCO RUBIO: “Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.’ IRAN: “Let me explain this in simple English: The United States is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

We‘re one executive order away from a chocolate fountain.

Marco Rubio: "Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.” That statement would have so much more gravitas if Rubio's own country wasn't also run by religious fanatic lunatics.

Egypt fans being pulled aside, patted down, and double-checked before the Argentina vs. Egypt match, while Argentina supporters were allowed to walk through security without the same level of screening. And this is exactly why people keep accusing FIFA of double standards.

From the pages of The Economist, Putin addresses the leaders of democratic countries with a simple message:  It is wrong to put pressure on Russia, so you must change your approach and, as before, silently acquiesce to all the crimes of the Kremlin.

Any senator who votes to confirm Blanche does NOT care. That’s the problem w my party - they’re still addressing the #GOP as if it’s 1975 or 1995 or 2016 It’s not, #GOP is now part of an international org working to destroy USA Dems are failing us by denying that fact bsky.app/profile/thet...

🎯 @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social : “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”
