Avoid using emoji as bullet points in social media posts. An emoji has a coded description that gets read by screen readers, and thus could confuse users who think that's part of the content. If you can't use standard lists, use dashes for bullet points or add line breaks.

Now this sounds like a fun job. I bet that if they hire you you could sneak around the monument on your own at night, touch the stones, chant incantations, bring back the ancestors and sacrifice a tourist or two. You know, the usual. www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/our-pe...

This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)

Maybe things are starting to turn around?🤞 The Houston lawyer who defended TX Attorney General Ken Paxton against criminal charges, and represented him during his 2023 impeachment trial, has endorsed Paxton’s Democratic opponent in the U.S. Senate race, James Talarico.

make no mistake, global oil inventories continue to tighten, but the doom and gloom (and opposite positions) suggesting supply outages might be imminent or that oil will plummet or spike are guesses and should be labeled as such. agree with the Saudi energy minister: stay calm.

Time line cleanser: The battle for the dog basket. 1st war: Moortje conquers basket. 2nd war: Puppy Beike annexes corner. 3rd war: Moortje retreats, sends in commando kitten Roetje. Roetje destroys basket. Everyone loses. What a metaphor for all of history.

Whenever anyone tells me they are a Christian, I always ask, "Are you a Mr. Rogers Christian or a Pete Hegseth Christian?"

Interesting location for an earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico, felt in South Florida, probably Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula. Please help science: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

If you're afraid of being stuck when you're in a rush (how could you be in such a rush to post on Bluesky?!) But okay, whatever – if you're afraid to use the "require alt text" setting, you can always just put any character in it. But at least it will always keep you from forgetting. Use it!

Trump is removing devices that track climate change in our oceans. Because they don't work? No, because they work too well and provide inconvenient data! Apparently, climate change is like COVID, if you don't track it, it doesn't exist. Truly, we are living in the most destructive, stupid times.

This is one of my most favorite #UnitarianUniversalist hymns, and the images it's set to here are just gorgeous! If you love nature, or astronomy, or sailing, or the concept of the Earth as your home, take a listen: #UU www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsX...

Another assault on our religious liberty by the current regime. Our armed forces must be able to have the freedom to pray (or not) as THEY choose. #unitarianuniversalist #ProtectReligiousLiberty #NotAChristianNation www.uua.org/pressroom/pr...

Maybe I should send this to all the people I owe phone calls and emails to.

Many ads on the internet used to be funny because of badly done photoshopping. But now we have AI, and it's hilarious! "Dark spots" are just normal skin with too much melanin – these are literal impact craters! Did she get peppered by buckshot? Hit by fragments of a disintegrating meteor?? 😂

❌ No, McDonald's restaurants aren't charging drive-thru customers a "convenience fee" of $1. Don't be fooled if you see the claim spreading online: www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...

More of this please. She won't get another interview with him but other people will. Pick at him and air the tapes.

"Learn Accessibility" is a course that takes you through the essentials for building accessible websites and web apps. Created for both beginners and advanced users, this course can be taken beginning to end, or used as a reference for specific topics. web.dev/learn/access...

And human dignity, and the rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" - priceless!

Still convinced the "assassination attempt" was genuine, not staged? "A Butler County Sheriff's deputy exchanged two emails with Thomas Matthew Crooks — the gunman who shot and wounded President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024 — *prior* to the attack." Link:

For #Caturday , Pedestal Kittywampus says "Don't hate me because I'm well-lit" : ) We got this tall scratching post so he could stretch himself, but amazingly he is capable of leaping straight off the floor and sticking the landing on 6 square inches. Amazing animal. : ) <3

A Unitarian Universalist won an exemption from required use of AI at work on religious grounds! Catholics will be able to get them too, but a non-religious person is much more likely to join a #UU church than a Catholic one—maybe this will swell our ranks! www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Happy June 6, one of the most consequential days in the history of fighting fascism.

This is a ginormous breakthrough in fighting cancer! And how they did it is fascinating. “Using synthetic biology, we built something like an electrical circuit, but instead of wires we used pieces of DNA” The explanation at SciTech is non-technical and easy to understand:

This clip is TERRIFYING. That's not an exaggeration. It's not anything I haven't been saying my self, but my musings are not authoritative – I can say things like I believe he'll try another coup, and it's just random speculation. But when a very knowledgeable historian says it....😨

The 12-month running average temperature for the Contiguous U.S. continues to be at a record high.

6-month standardized precipitation index (SPI). Seems dry.

Scott MacFarlane at the Kennedy Center: There are cameras nearby, ready for the moment they literally chisel Trump’s name off.

This is what fascism looks like.

“Mr. Secretary, I may have to get you a new pair of glasses.” @marcorubio hilariously pretends not to be able to see Trump and his family are enriching themselves off the presidency.

Folks, there is something gravely wrong with the president’s health and the White House is covering it up. This man is obviously not well.

I've helped two people apply for Disability, which always required proof you're too sick to work. Proving it *to their satisfaction* is all but impossible. I don't know anyone who was able to get approval without a lawyer, who they paid out of their lump sum payment—but these folks don't get that!

oh my goodness - Lieu played Rubio a video of Trump sleeping while Rubio tried to talk to him during a cabinet meeting. Then this exchange: RUBIO: I've never seen him fall asleep LIEU: I'm gonna show you a video that shows you just lied to Congress *plays another clip of Trump sleeping by Rubio*

C-B-S = Censored Broadcast System.🤐

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

When real life is more ridiculous than parody, parody is dead. I saw Trump with his poster and ran off to search, because I thought it had to be fake. Comparing the length of a horizontal thing to vertical things is just … so stupid. I should've known: it's real. And Trump is so proud. 🤦‍♀️

Someone re-upped this terrific thread, so if you missed it the first time, read it now. (Or read it again, even if you read it at the time, as I did!) This is the simplest and clearest explanation of the incredibly complex subject of biological gender differences you'll ever find, so don't miss it:

I got this in email. The first paragraph is circled in green because it's *important advice* and very true. I get scam calls all the time wanting to send me "free" medical stuff. But the "note" at the end—WTF?? We're desperately short of health care aides and hospice care!! WTF is going on now?!

This is the earliest possible viewing time when it is dark enough to see the aurora *if it is out*.

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on. He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents. Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
