"But the wait times are gonna be so much longer if we get socialized medicine!" This clinic: "Hold my beer."

The Epstein files don’t matter to the religious right. All you need to do is look at all of their clergy that have been convicted of abusing children and the churches covering it up while it was going on. Maybe the corruption will become enough for people to turn against him.

The @wmo-global.bsky.social warns: prepare for El Niño. A Warming Pacific Ocean is driving the development of El Niño, increasing the likelihood of higher global temperatures & extreme weather in the months ahead. Forecasts provide a window to act. Time for preparedness is now bit.ly/4o6jByf

Feeding station for birds! This is wonderful.

It is absolutely insane and sad what is happening to CBS News, 60 Minutes, and just CBS in general. The death of a once great network. On purpose.

ME: “I don’t want to just work to exist, but I also don’t want to exist just to work. Wish I had another way.” MY CAT: “What if I told you that someone else could pay for everything while you nap in sunbeams?”

It's Pride Month. But also it's just nature showing out.

Especially heinous given that bad dental health can have a catastrophic effect on overall health. Cardiac health can be tied to dental health.

I’m really getting sick of the Epstein Class. Tax the fuck out of them.

Van Hollen to Marco Rubio: "This is your first public hearing since President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched an illegal war against Iran. Netanyahu said he's been waiting 40 years to do this...he finally found a president who was both stupid and reckless enough to join him."

Andromeda Through Gas and Dust apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26060... Over 1000 years ago, Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi published humanity’s oldest known record of the Andromeda Galaxy in "The Book of Fixed Stars" (Bodleian Library MS. Marsh 144 p. 167)

I mean, they'd see us with even less than that when we haven't even committed a crime.

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

Hey guys! Do you wanna see some great fungi? I encountered these beauties on Simond's Way in the Hartford Town Forest. I'm no mycologist, but they look like Hemlock Varnish Shelf mushrooms to me.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

While families struggle with healthcare costs at home, we keep funding unauthorized wars abroad. Congress must pass the War Powers Act resolution today and redirect our priorities. No more blank checks for war. Retweet if you agree: #FundHealthcareNotWar

Here are some nice mushrooms

Ah.

I asked a horror writer whose work I love how she’s able to write horror novels, because, while I love the genre, I can’t do it. I’ve written two horror SHORT stories (“On the Road” and “Dark Home”) and scared the hell out of myself. Her response was simple: “I don’t believe any of it.” Shit. 😬

Sunrise this morning. Have a beautiful day. 🩷🧡💜 #PNW #PDX #Photography #Sunrise

That's twice today-ish.

A haloed moon to begin the day. May yours be full of light.

Shouldn't be long, if he hasn't already started.

End unauthorized wars. Restore Congress’s power. Bring our troops home from Iran. Redirect our priorities from war to healthcare. Support the War Powers vote today. ☎️ Call your Member of Congress NOW at (202) 224-3121 — tell them to vote YES! #FundHealthcareNotWar

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

🤣

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

Yeah, I’m a single-issue voter. Here’s my single issue: I won’t vote for any politician who believes I’m not a woman. Oh, does that seem simplistic to you, even childish and petty? Here, let me explain.

"You wanna rub my belly for good luck?" 😂 Guillermo & Wemby share a fun moment together during NBA Finals Game 1 Media Day.

Y'all weren't doing that after they decided on Colbert's cancellation date? Barring watching his show, that is.

The pride overlords shone down upon us today just as we left the city 🌈

France bans bee-killing pesticides. Bees are the engine of our agriculture. Without them, our food supply is put at risk. Healthy soil and intact habitats form the foundation for true sustainability.

The President of the United States is a liar.
