Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

Today was a news heavy day

Check out this burly parsley that was part of the bunch I bought. #Passover

@ninatotenberg.bsky.social could you talk more about the change in SCOTUS procedures/practices implemented due to President Trump being present

podcast.app/where-inside... Interesting episode with @pkrugman.bsky.social about potential insider trading/treason.

@merriam-webster.com How many of the head words in your dictionary have a single definition?

@merriam-webster.com I have a dictionary question that I hope you can find an answer to. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary how many (total number, and %) of the definitions don’t include the word “or”?

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026. Let's. Go.

Some red flags leave bloodstains.

Although not the most important at least celebrating American athletes took up some of the time away from Trump’s more destructive impulses

After the State of the Union Address partisan spin doctors will work their hardest to convince viewers to ignore our lying eyes and ears, while they tell you what the President actually did

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

@jackbern.bsky.social I’m looking forward to the @taskmasterpepod.bsky.social series 19 stats roundup. Could you find out how much extra expense Jason Mantzoukas cost @taskmaster.tv production due to his “destroy, dismantle, and engulf in flames” strategy?

A burdensome work requirement for Medicaid will do less to help people find employment and more to cause those people to be both unemployed and unmedicated/sicker

We know in the story Indiana Jones was took his nickname from his dog, which was named after George Lucas’s dog, but why was his Alaskan Malamute (which was also the inspiration for Chewbacca) named Indiana in the first place?

Solo Leveling was good but it wasn’t “Anime of the Year” good. Also, @crunchyroll.com should add a writing category award.
