Her character and focus are incredible.

Thirty paintings by Bob Ross are set to be auctioned to support public television stations. The Bonhams auction begins Nov. 11 in Los Angeles with three of the paintings.

May it last and you be back at work in the hospital soon.

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

May his memory be a blessing because the quality of their smoked fish is! And the best countermen in the appetizing business! In all seriousness, RIP to a great NYer.

LOOK AT THE MOON!!!!!!!!!

My latest @theguardian.com: "Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel." As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for soccer’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold www.theguardian.com/football/202...

People are going to die because of this.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

The slime is a horrific experience.

"“We say, ‘We will wage this act of care in defiance of the state, which tells us...our bodies are...expendable.’” Pino said that by waging acts of care, organizers...raged against the normalization of mass death and against the erasure of the inequities they experienced in the face of disaster." 🫂

Something I find… interesting… about social media is that you can you say genuinely hate eating a certain food ingredient and total strangers will appear in your mentions being like “well, you just haven’t had it the way EYE cook it.” Bitch, I wouldn’t let you in my house, much less my kitchen.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

I start on Monday 😊

Stress-induced insomnia making a strong comeback tonight.

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

This. They’re “ironic,” but the joke is always punching down. They “don’t care,” but only because the system benefits them in ways they don’t see. They don’t want “politics,” they just want the world to cater to their every whim. I could’ve very easily been this person. We can choose differently

I love that we did this. WE DID THIS KEEP GOING KEEP FLEXING THAT PEOPLE POWER 💜💜💜

Look what we have here then.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

ayfkm This should not be a controversial statement. It *absolutely* should not cause the FCC to get involved and the network to suspend him. Also I'm like damn that's a famous, rich white dude with like a nightly TV show and he wasn't safe? Didn't he host the Oscars? I thought that was a hall pass

As an archivist, this keeps me up.

Really amazing conversation.

I've said it before but people in the future are going to have a better understanding of the 17th-19th centuries than the 20th-21st centuries. Why? PAPER [the most durable technology invented by humans]

People I follow on instagram for other things (food, fitness, etc) have not stopped posting ‘we are all Ch*rlie K*rk’ and I just wanna thank them for self yeeting out of my feed

Donate generously to support kids who are pursuing their education in Gaza!!!

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds Dangerous times

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

americans talk about the homeless like they're vermin and it's TERRIFYING. I never hear more casually dehumanizing language than when homeless people are the subject of conversation and that's saying A LOT.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

I have no time for people who can’t agree trans rights are human rights, immigrants are welcome, and Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank are abhorrent. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed.

‘Debate’ is another one of those very commonly used words everybody thinks they have the same definition for, and clearly, they do not.

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

Good night, Bluesky, here is a picture of a deeply relaxed dog to carry you through until we see each other again.

To @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app : this vile story by the New York Post is actively attempting to incite mass violence against a vulnerable minority. The New York Post must not be permitted to remain on this service.

This will still be up tomorrow if you want to see it.

Nepal appoints its first female PM after historic week of deadly protests

They have the United States MILITARY carrying that man’s casket for processing off Air Force 2. Motherfucker served not ONE day in the military. He was a podcaster. Racism is POWERFUL
