Happy Caturday from Figgy #tuxedocat

So, what is a good option for weather information on social media that isn’t #NotTwitter?

Ahem

Absolute Units is back! We continue our conversation with @timjerrome.bsky.social (University of Brighton; formerly, The MERL) about his research into queer rural life. Discover what Tim has found in our archives to date & the research challenges he's faced. merl.reading.ac.uk/explore/abso...

No Kings, Stillwater MN.

Moonlight paddle on Tuesday night with the Minnesota Dragon Boat Club 💙💛🐲🛶

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

79. American citizen.

If I made Tylenol, I’d be preparing a defamation lawsuit.

Our work is not done… 📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide. Folks, you know what to do. Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

Nexstar made a deal to acquire broadcast conglomerate Tegna in a $6.2 billion deal, which will require government approval. They’re continuing to refuse to air Kimmel.

Stay focused.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Not to be a stickler @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social , but it was “our girlfriend” 😕 Now Russia’s “girlfriend” is gutting our intelligence department by 40% Nothing to see here, folks!

Newsmax reaches $67M settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in defamation case.

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

Yeah, we won’t be trusting any info put out by the “Heritage” Bureau of Labor Statistics Department.

I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies last year was 285-to-1. The median employee would have had to start working in the year 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Bee butt

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

@beyondmeatofficial.bsky.social lunchtime!

A few things are clear from this: 1. Trump has lost control of the narrative. 2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files. 3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries. 4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

I closed my Etsy store and deleted my account. Buh-bye.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

BREAKING: A source tells me that the Trump administration has shut down public access to every single National Climate Assessment, the Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report assessing how climate change is affecting the U.S. This is what you get when you try to access them online

Just when I thought the big, beautiful bill couldn't get any worse, it has. If R's amendments go through, the number of Minnesotans losing health insurance will top 300,000.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...

Please look at this sheepy lad from @themerl.bsky.social , thank you. That is a sheep who is plotting mischief and is not sorry about it. rdg.ent.sirsidynix.net.uk/client/en_GB...

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump can’t even show basic respect on Memorial Day. Utterly unfit for office.

This view doesn’t get old. Go Twins!

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.
