The Great Red Scare of Mesopotamia was really something.

NEW: Senator Mitch McConnell speaks to supporters in his library

"Islamic Republic of Japan" implies one of the greatest fusion cuisines in human history.

Man adopts an old dog so it won't die alone

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero on Birthright Citizenship ruling: It was incredibly gratifying sitting in the court and watching the president fidget because he was literally six feet right in front of me. I would have loved to have been six feet behind him when the decision came down.

Gas prices had not eased much during the truce. Now they’re headed back up. We need more bus service! But Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle is trying to ax Mayor Katie Wilson’s bus expansion plan so households don’t have to spend an extra $12 in sales tax each *year*.

my foster dog is getting adopted today! everyone say “happy gotcha day Mr. Dude”

America: "Mommy, why don't we ever go to these restaurants?" "Because Daddy got cancer, honey, and Mommy and Daddy have to pay for it. Someday you won't have to live with us anymore, and if you get lucky and stay healthy, you can go to some restaurants."

Last night, I spoke to Mitch McConnell for just under 20 minutes, and he didn’t say anything because he was brain-dead. ☯️🧠✌️

Hit ❤️ if you have a library card in 2026.

It is indeed perplexing that many individuals choose to trust uninformed individuals while simultaneously questioning the validity of science, medicine, and intellectual thought.

Definite Communist.

Just downloaded a biography of obscure botanist Antoine-Laurent Jussieu as background for a book I’m mulling writing and am slightly daunted to see it’s 900+ pages. (In French. Which I knew, but it cuts my reading speed in half, optimistically.)

Good morning!🌺

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person living through an Ontario summer must be in want of a dock on a lake

"Hunger Strike" from Temple of the Dog is Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell sharing a microphone on one of the most emotionally raw songs either of them ever recorded. It started as a tribute to Andrew Wood and became something that captured an entire moment in Seattle rock history.

Quick brag for my son. Fuckers film credits DWARF mine and he’s only been in the union two years- Twisters The Last Showgirl One Battle After Another Odyssey Dune3 The Invite Bunch of Kendrick vids And now he’s on a job that’ll take him to Christmas but I can’t talk about it yet. Smashing it dude!

The dog kept waiting in the same spot where the 94 year old used to pet him every day and give him treats Even after she passed away. Original post

1️⃣ I have to admit I'm giggling every time Haaland and others on the Norwegian football team are hailed by white supremacist fascists here in Ireland and abroad as "real men and role models". Every single player on that team holds values fascists despise. Every single player on that team are quite

It’s true, Seattle. I want to ban rental junk fees & improve affordability for renters. My proposal will be heard in committee tomorrow. Join me at 12:45 at City Hall as we outline our legislation to create a fair, predictable, & equitable rental market. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I’m still not over that we created a time in America in which meatloaf, the famous Great Depression meal, is unaffordable. It’s a damn luxury meal now due to it containing 2 lbs of beef.

It sounds like they rushed the Qatar jet and it doesn’t have all of the defensive countermeasures needed to transit potentially hostile airspace. There’s no realistic way to read this other than a threat-driven aircraft choice.

Finally, an update!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There is a good chance that if this had happened to me in this story, I would have died. www.thedrive.com/news/how-flo...

I have watched this about 100 times and am a Haaland man now

For Fuck Face, nursing is not a career. I hope one day soon, when they wheel him into emergency on a golf cart, the nurses all walk out and go to lunch.

The strangest thing happened today. We went to the uninhabited island of Lunga, west of Mull, to look at the puffins nesting there. I was just taking photos when I felt a thump as something landed quite heavily in my head. It was a puffin! It stayed for about a minute before flying off.

Summer Holidays. 🚤

Just dropped off all our unopened cat food and litter to a pet food pantry. Nearly had a break down in the car on the way home. This has all been too much lately and I am just trying to keep up normalcy. But it's not working. May take a little hiatus. Apologies if I owe you a message. ❤️

My neighbor’s kid spoke with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes

“Three men were in the van with Lorenzo at the time of the shooting, including his brother. They have been detained, and their whereabouts are unknown. There is fear the men will be quickly deported to prevent them from providing testimony about ICE’s actions.” www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

I certainly don’t trust her, but MTG is lighting them up. 💥

If that is not the truth, then all of these individuals lacking courage will face consequences in the next election.

Just talked to my old friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes.

Fuck Microsoft, fuck Adobe, and fuck all the other companies that changed their software business models from “one-time purchase” to subscription-based! Bill Gates and John Adobe (idk who runs that), you will burn in Hell with Mitch McConnell!!!

Lawrence O’Donnell dismantles the myth of Graham Platner. And warning signs were there all along. Information was publicly available, but ignored. Maybe the U.S. Senate shouldn’t be someone’s first political job. No public office. No real vetting. Hype isn’t a substitute for scrutiny. 🧵

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine was 95 when he died of renal failure OTD in 2012. I loved that he was the very definition of a "working actor," taking roles that were sometimes unworthy of his talents, just because he clearly enjoyed what he did. A genuine original.

Today, WAPO ran a story claiming that Seattle is being “overrun” by trans people escaping from Red states. I didn’t read it. Too damn stupid to even skim. I’m in Seattle. We’re fine.

I have a fine selection of bug memes.

Something something seizing the means of production

Apparently Seattle made a huge impression to those who came to watch their teams compete for the world cup. They loved our stadium, loved the people, the food, the music. Thank you Seattle being such a great host. I am so proud of my city.

This is a significant deal. I’m not sure who convinced him to do this. Or how he didn’t recognize this is bad for Russia. Also lol at the idea that they didn’t tell Raytheon about it yet and they are announcing it in public.
