Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Friends, Please think twice before using AI to generate images, video, do any data-intensive tasks. It destroys the planet with power use and data center noise pollution. The world doesn’t need any of that. It causes harm.

An important person who gave all for civil rights is being honored in Detroit with a street naming. Viola Liuzzo.

Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.” Not the warmongers. Not the authoritarians. Not those who see their religion as a battle against “the world.” Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.” Wherever peace is chosen instead of violence, there are the children of God.

The Chirodectes jellyfish, seen only twice, is a rare marvel of the ocean. This footage captures its stunning speed and unique markings. A gem for marine research.

As of today the Wood Duck is the first official state duck of Michigan! This beautiful species came close to extinction in the early 20th century but has rebounded in the state through conservation efforts.

What I don't miss about vinyl records: All that DUST to constantly battle. Skips, scratches, and having to FLIP them to hear the other side. & the heavy crates of albums. But I loved album art & liner notes! #vinyl #music

I am squarely in the anti-koi camp. A Koi Pond is an abomination. Koi carp destroy the local ecosystem. They eat tadpoles, frogs, other native animals that formerly use the ponds in their lifecycles. #NoKOI

Getting over pneumonia and flu. I will be avoiding people for the next several weeks. Been masking up in stores, too.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Fewer kids trick or treating. The wee ones we used to get are instead taken to trunk or treat events. But we did get an adult with two dogs on leashes knock on the door and say trick or treat, unironically, hold out a bag and say thank you when I dropped candy in it.

When did one’s fellow American political opponent become one’s political “enemy”… and then simply become the “Enemy”?

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

Pope Leo XIV on Thursday denounced the use of hunger as a weapon of war as he urged world leaders to act responsibly and focus on the multitudes across the globe who face hunger, wars and misery. https://to.pbs.org/4o4PqGP

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...
