rep_walkinshaw Trump’s name is mentioned in the Epstein files 38,000 times – that may explain the Administration’s ongoing cover-up. Why are so many pages blacked out? Why the sweeping redactions? Why the cover-up?

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and other insiders in multiple countries, this account details how the US and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans to invade, and why most of Europe – including the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy – dismissed them

Sometimes the story behind the photo is better than the photo itself. In thick snowfall, I lay on a wet road, camera aimed into a ditch tangled with wild roses, hoping the shot of a tiny wren would be worth the cold. This one made the cut, one keeper out of more than twenty. #photography #birds

Every time I hear James Talarico speak I feel a renewed sense of hope that not all is lost. His boundary between religion and politics is refreshing. He's respectful and demonstrates that people with common sense are stepping up to fight extreme Christian Nationalism. We need more of this!

Lakers–Celtics preview is live. If the Lakers want a statement win, this is the night. Full deep-dive...including a detailed look at how the freaking Celtics are still this good, sitting top three in point differential even without Tatum. digginbasketball.substack.com/p/lakers-pre...

Those "Red States" were actually yellow states. This is true.

A very potent Bomb Cyclone is forecasted off the East Coast Sunday/Monday. Blizzard Warnings are in effect and snowfall totals of 24+ inches are expected across the Eastern Seaboard. If these totals end up verifying, it could end up being a historic storm. Be sure to download @myradar.bsky.social

This thing looks like a rabid raccoon.

Holy Moly. What a hockey game. USA wins 2-1 in overtime against Canada for the gold.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

THE EVERSHED EFFECT: Something is sucking plasma out of big sunspots. This week, David Wilson observed the process in action from his backyard observatory in Inverness Scotland. Behold, sunspot 4374 spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

Snow leopards cuddle while sleeping. We are all the same.☺️💙😎

Out of thousands of generations before us, you are alive at the moment humanity captures its first photograph of a sunset on another world. This isn’t an illustration or a simulation this is a real image of a Martian sunset, taken from the surface of Mars. 💙😎💙

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

37 sleeps til opening day. Reggie Jackson takes a big cut. Controversial and charismatic, Mr.October won 3 World Series with the A’s and 2 with the Yankees. Hit 563 home runs in his 21 seasons. AL MVP 1973. Scared the pants off pitchers. A clutch ball player and a winner. Hall of Fame 1993.

True that, and with good reason as succinctly detailed by Mr. Marriott.

Today's #photooftheday is the #Neolithic chambered tomb #BrynCelliDdu #Anglesey iPhone snap with a silvertone filter. Oddly this was such a hard place to photograph — the reality is so much more dramatic than the camera could capture.

cbs "news" is officially dead and gone. This is worse than I thought it would be and so much faster. No serious journalists will remain there much longer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOdE...

Today's photo was taken at the wonderful St. Tudno's on the #GreatOrme Just as I was standing there, thinking that this photo needed 'something extra', along came Mr. Jackdaw. Don't you just love it when nature cooperates! #photooftheday #NOIR #Gothic #birdphotography

You've all been doing a brilliant job bringing in some incredible finds over the last few days! Not every day we get a good chunk of fossil fish like this one, a big congratulations to all the fossil hunters out there spotting their 200 million year old fossils!

One of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time has gone on to glory. 😔 Rest in power Reverend Jesse L. Jackson. 🙏🏽✝️🕊 Sunrise: October 8, 1941 Sunset: February 17, 2026 #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth #IAmSomebody

There’s no President Barack Obama without Jesse Jackson. It just doesn’t happen.

What are the other engines gossiping about? Hint; one engine clear doesn't find it funny.

Apparently people aren't excited about spending $56,000 per ticket to attend a World Cup game. Hmmm, what else could be contributing to a lack of hype?

One of my pastels from nearly 30 years ago showing a path across Jesus Green in Cambridge. I think this was late in the year with a few leaves hanging on to the trees with some autumn colour remaining. It was bought by a late friend and is now with his family. #Cambridge #pastel #painting
