It should be illegal for a tv show, movie, or commercial to use an alarm tone that is common for regular people in the real world to use. I don’t want to be watching something then be reminded that I have to get up for work tomorrow.

I wish I could figure out how to share the video… it’s a thing of beauty 💙

Tariff chaos, no country knows what to do. The US isn’t a rule-of-law democracy anymore, so they know Congress isn’t regulating trade and don’t know if the Supreme Court ruling will hold. But it’s not consolidated authoritarianism either, so they don’t know what president can make happen either.

Oh, Presumption of Innocence - Harrison Ford and Raul Julia. Great movie. I understand that the movies depict the practice of law as well as they do history. The exception is My Cousin Vinny, whose director and screenwriter were both lawyers - they were scrupulous about the portrayal. #hatm

I salute any celebrity who chooses to speak for the Palestinian people against the ongoing genocide in Gaza because I know that could come at a great personal & professional cost to them but they do it anyway because being on the right side of history matters more than being popular

ICYMI — The FBI director flew there on the taxpayer dime on a private jet to do this… Kash in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Taylor Swift’s Current Single Explodes 300% In Sales In One Week

Around 150 people showed up for today's ICE Readiness Workshop with @handsoffnyc.bsky.social here on the Upper West Side to review the political situation, hear live from someone in Minneapolis, learn how to recognize ICE, and discuss how we can respond to protect our neighborhood.

If I was the president or prime minister or whatever, I’d just make it a law that everybody in America gets healthcare, it’s not an unprecedented idea, in fact it has been precedented by every other country in the entire world

We need to promise ourselves that whenever we once again gain control over this country we will hold all of the crooks, grifters and fascist traitors accountable for every crime and human rights violation they commit. There must be consequences.

Many, many years ago, before I enlisted in the army, I was advised to read the Constitution. To REALLY read it. ‘If you’re going to swear to defend it, if the possibility is there to lose your life defending it, you should know what it says.’ More people should have received this advice.

Getting pissed at mainstream media's blase attitude on fascism. They're gushing over SCOTUS' decision on tariffs, proclaiming the Constitution is saved! Never heard boo when the court decided it's OK to profile, arrest and imprison with no charges or due process. May they àll choke on their tariffs.

‼️‼️

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

Lolno. Not even close. TSA had a 95% failure rate (ie they only caught 5% of the time in tests). The solution? Stop testing. Very relevant article saying TSA is responsible for several times more deaths than 9/11: www.vox.com/2016/5/17/11...

Went to the Liberty Science Center this morning before the storm. Really enjoyed the planetarium experience. They allowed us to take photos at certain ping. This is a nebula from the Webb telescope. Those dots are galaxies. A good reminder of how tiny we are in the universe.

☕ Happy Birthday to the legendary #KyleMacLachlan / Agent Dale Cooper / Kale ☕ I wish you time to whittle. Because that's what you do in a town where a yellow light still means slow down, not go faster. In a town like #TwinPeaks, where there's always damn good coffee. And hot! 👍 You are the FBI 👍

Personally, I use Libby (good selection and "free"), but I've heard libro.fm is a good alternative.

Have you considered getting multiple library cards? Libby allows you to have an almost unlimited amount and there are different offerings at different libraries

Kobo (Canadian) makes e-readers that support audiobooks. As an added bonus, they own the Libby software, so you can download straight from your library to your device

I use the Libro app for audiobooks, it helps support your local book store of choice

I’m loving how this thread is slowly becoming a wealth of knowledge of different ways to access the written and spoken word around the world without being reliant on just one exploitative platform. BlueSky at its finest.

Ok #booksky I need your help. I’m trying to rid myself of my reliance on Amazon. I already buy my physical books from independent book stores, but I’m looking at getting back into audiobooks. What’re my options and why do you recommend them?

WOW! As of this morning only about 350 letters had been sent out urging our Delegates to hold data centers accountable and lower our energy costs. BUT after we blasted this call to action, we hit our goal of sending over 1,000 letters to our Delegates. Keep going! actionnetwork.org/letters/shif...

There are A LOT of fucking centrists on this app who still believe the left is just as bad as... *Checks notes* literal fucking Nazis. Please explain to me how universal healthcare and free college makes us "just as bad as Nazis..." And try to do it without sounding like a Nazi...

Can we perhaps do a quick edit- amend “national” to read “International”. He’s humiliating the U.S. in front of the entire world.

Everyone thinks cobra chickens are mean. But I also love our brave beaver 🦫 ❤️

They looked for a screenshot, and didn't bother to look at the story. The Eagle was forced to back down after a 20 minute fight ... with a sick goose.

Just when you thought the #EpsteinAdministration couldn't degrade our country any further:

New Jersey has proposed the F.U.C.K.I.C.E Act. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

We’re trying to send 1,000 letters to our members of the Virginia House of Delegates by the end of the day urging them to lower our energy costs, hold data centers accountable, and protect our environment. PASS SB339 AND SB619! Take Action ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/shif...

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Supreme Court ruled against Trump and he laughed in their faces. There is no one to stop him now. I will always remember where I was when democracy died in America. What about you?

Children are being arrested and detained during the time of the Epstein files, and no one is making the connection?

Los Angeles General Medical Center 🙌 F*CK ICE!!!

I was listening to a video of texass Republicans calling in. I was amazed how many do not care about paxton's corruption

Favorite conspiracy theory regarding the TX Dem Senate election has got to be "Republicans are voting en masse for Crockett"

Today's #PhotographyIsArt share is another shot taken on my local beach just as the sun was coming up. I can't seem to get enough of those big, big, skies. #Wales #Llandudno #naturephotography

This is how you do a blurb for the back of a comic book.

american imperialism is indefensible but that doesn't mean you need to defend the iranian government

The thing about Star Wars is, Disney LF or whomever seem to think that just because a project featuring certain characters may have disappointed some that means all of us don’t ever want to see them again and that’s not true.

I found one! A neighbor kid to do some yard work AND walk this dog. I thought they went extinct

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

Don't expect ICE's crimes and terrorism to end. They're likely not only to continue, but to evolve and adapt for greater evasion of accountability.

I think it’s fair to say that I’ve long been a vocal & public critic of RFK Jr, the most dangerous & extreme anti-vaxx activist & conspiracy theorist in the world I loathe him But I hate it when pundits call him a “drug addict” His past substance use has NOTHING to do with him being vile & evil
