Said far better by others than I ever shall: In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47380/... May peace find us today.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

It is Sir David Attenborogh's 100th birthday. Sir; May you live in good health and joy for as long as you will it. May your legacy of protecting and teaching us about this beautiful world outcast the very planet itself.

Wow.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

After al long, long wait, a real snowstorm has returned to New England.

Spread this far and wide. Tell the truth about their son, like Alex Pretti’s parents implored us to do.

This is amazing!!

Mayor Michelle Wu at the protest today: “What scares them about Boston is that we are the America they say is impossible.”

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

NoKings Boston, MA. Big, cheerful crowd today. The original Sons of Liberty would be proud. #NoKings. #Boston

10/10. No Notes.

What if you were immune to all viruses? 🦠🧪 A small number of people carry a rare genetic mutation that causes their bodies to produce interferons, virus-blocking proteins, all the time, keeping them immune without activating the rest of the immune system.

We extend our condolences to Charlie Kirk’s family and his loved ones. Indivisible stands united in absolute opposition to all forms of political violence, without reservation, and condemns this horrific act.

Donald Trump didn’t call in the National Guard when violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. Now he’s using them to occupy D.C.—to criminalize poverty, to intimidate protest, to make America hate again.

Open dictator talk. No kings.

It’s plain as day.

The Republic is dead. The struggle now is to restore it.

It's a 76'ed DORK TOWER MONDAY! Spirited new strip up now, at the Mothership: www.dorktower.com/2025/07/07/1... Reblog/Repost/Repeat, if you get that chance! Thanks a million!

This feels particularly on point today. The danger to the ship has reached critical levels, and I'm not talking about the USS Constitution. #nokings #independenceday

Compilation of massive 'NO KINGS!' protests today ✊ #NoKings

“No Kings” protest in the town of Weymouth MA. About 400 people showed up for this peaceful, no violence protest. The great majority of the cars passing by were honking and waving, very few middle fingers or curses were thrown our way.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

The police officer clearly aimed at this journalist and shot her while her back was turned to him. Chilling.

Our constituents, neighbors, coworkers and family members are being #abducted without #dueprocess or guarantees by #ICE and #HSI. It's not enough to denounce the #incivility of the #Trump administration. Use this script to request action from @massgovernor.bsky.social and @massago.bsky.social #MA

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested at an ICE Detention Center where he was protesting its opening, a federal prosecutor said.

Stellaris 4.0 impression so far (Sans Biogenesis because I am poor) Solid update. A few minor bugs, nothing game breaking. Enjoying a playthrough as one of my oldest and weakest civ builds. Still getting the hang of the new population model/planet interface. Should have it sorted soon.

A long time ago in a kingdom far, far away... You step into the cantina, looking for a discreet way out of town. Can you spot the smuggler and his furry best friend? 👀 #Maythe4th #StarWarsDay

“We had literally 5-7 times as many people show up as RSVPs in most of the places where we held marches. What we were hearing throughout the day was the biggest problem that organizers of these marches were having…was that too many people were showing up.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on #handsoff

bsky.app/profile/pete... That's me, from behind, waving the US flag in the foreground. The flag has a story: I found it, dirty and battered, its flagstaff shattered, on the street last October. I cleaned it up and got it a new staff. This is its first public appearance since I rescued it.

This pic of the protest in Boston is blowing my mind. From @mass50501.bsky.social on reddit. www.reddit.com/r/boston/com... #handsoff #handsoffboston

Facebook started taking down posts of historian Heather Cox Richardson, a national voice. This is outrageous! You can follow her here on Bluesky. But, to see her wonderful posts at Letters From an American, you can subscribe at this link. There is no paywall. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Listening to Cory Booker as he passes the 22 hour mark on his speech, while cleaning and repairing a US Flag I found on the street. This is the kind of leadership I want to see right now.

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎
