Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

First actual "day off" in a very long time. My four legged conscience thinks this is a great idea.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this.

Agreed.

Well, now that today’s work is done, I’m going to paint as a hobby! You mustn’t stop creating. I believe it’s important to live your life always thinking about art. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

A Shark Tank investor just got a three-person county commission to approve one of the largest data centers ever built and the people who actually live there found out about it the same way you did.

Brilliant! #sharethis

Just finished. A nod to our beautiful butterflies and wonderful summer visitors. It’s taken me ages…. #watercolours #womensart

I love how this poem moves from funny to serious I've seen this. The bar in Belfast International Airport. We heard the alarm, could smell the smoke & sat on & finished our pints. I have witnessed the second half of the poem too. It's time to pour our pints on the fire #Poetry #Poemoftheday
