A massive Leatherback sea turtle was spotted near the Gulfstream yesterday, reminding us of the wonders of marine life. Nature never ceases to amaze us.

Perhaps, some folks shouldn't be so hard on Pres. Biden? He will forever be my President, just like Pres. Obama.

Man that’s terrible. A man overpowers and disarms an armed gunman in his house. The police shoot him. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

First time in my life I’ve ever said “Keep posting through it, sweetie (complimentary)”

This year, the Michigan Senate passed legislation to restrict AI companies from training on data from children. This bill as written would void that effort. Smart AI regulation is essential and urgent. Broad preemption is a nonstarter.

NEW: A @wired.com analysis of Meta's app for its smart glasses found that the company has been adding code for face recognition since January, while saying that it is still "thinking through" whether to deploy it. @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/meta-s...

I'm sorry to anyone who is new to California. Each county will update at most once a day — usually in the late afternoon PT. Emphasis on *at most*: The two biggest counties in #CA06 (arguably the most important House count) won't have anything until Friday afternoon.

How is this real

A CIA officer arrested after $40 million in gold bars was found at his home served as a liaison to the Pentagon for a sensitive nuclear submarine program, brought on at the request of the No. 2 official at the Defense Department, according to three former U.S. officials.

Since Ring's "Familiar Faces" feature was rolled out late last year, the company has recorded the faces of millions of Americans without their consent.

June 2, 1926: Hersal Thomas, a blues pianist credited with innovating the boogie-woogie style, dies at 19 of suspected ptomaine poisoning at a Detroit inn where he works. His song “Suitcase Blues” was a recent hit for Okeh Records; with his siblings he wrote the influential number “The Fives.”

With 1.5 million votes counted in California, one thing that's clear is: Steve Hilton is sooooo far ahead of Chad Bianco, there's no way this can result in Democrats being shut-out.

I'm working a polling center and A LOT of people are dropping off their mail in ballots here. Many different orgs have been telling people to drop off their ballot in person because of the USPS rules.

Truly funny…the Trump administration and Blanche saying 1.8 billion dollar slush fund is going away…just trust us.

US District Judge Samantha Elliott just sent Trump’s national voting purge plan straight to the dustbin of history. In a massive 98-page ruling, she completely struck down the state-level SAVE Act, decimating the regime's voter suppression strategy. 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/judge-kill...

It’s kind of bitterly ironic that the thing that needs an in-depth piece on 60 Minutes more than anything is what the fuck is going on over at 60 Minutes

Tomorrow, Mikie Sherrill will frame what happened tonight as a total victory. She will claim victory in defending a concentration camp from peaceful protestors. She will claim she did it for the people inside, and she will be fucking lying.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

Well, well, well. It looks like the judge in the case agreed there was a real prospect of fraud on the court, and a proper inquiry into the crooked slush fund will begin! Bring it on. Good news.

Mikie Sherrill state police just shot tear gas at reporters.

My first thought was maybe he’ll run into a jararaca. My second thought was the guy who helped engineer the shitshow that’s happening in the US subsequently fleeing the US because of said shitshow suggests that there’s probably some really dumb shit about to happen.
