Iran's arguments "speak to a wider anxiety among non-nuclear-weapon states: That the rules are observed when applied to the weak, and are bent when applied to the powerful." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

This is really interesting -- and good!

🔎 Take a look at the full painting which is very large and detailed. The dancers act as a metaphor for peaceful government. We're in production of a film about this painting - more details soon! Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Allegory of Good Government, Palazzo Pubblico, Siena, 1338-40. 🗃️ #arthistory

Scroll down for why he was there. For a ride in an Apache, because Hegseth thought it would make the libs cry.

I'm voting for the obnoxious progressive who is too young to sign up for Medicare (full disclosure: I'm a Medicare recipient...but I'm not running for office)

Another Silicon Valley guy who protested the first Trump administration is now aligned with him. The pattern has been extraordinary. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

what a shock hope Louisiana sues the govt on behalf of The People

When this Kash Patel part is over, could we get a movie about this with Adeel Akhtar in the starring role--because he is great in everything and would deliver a knockout hour and a half of solid gold comedy about a terrified, drunk, profoundly unqualified man trying to run the FBI.

Sunday

I wish they cared this much about shootings when it happens to children at school.

There was a mass shooting this morning at Indiana University that has left nine injured. The Indiana Daily Student has been facing pressure by Republicans and school administrators to shut down the print edition all year. Why isn't Donald Trump or legacy media corps reporting about this huh?

creative process

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

Weird. Speaker Johnson tonight apparently felt the appropriate response to an active shooter was running, rather than thoughts or prayers.

(A) This is a fascinating thread about loafers, no kidding (B) As we humans must "wear clothes" (en lieu of feathers and fur)... (C) @dieworkwear.bsky.social is a treasure of information and cultural history about those faux "fur and feathers" we humans employ

sound up 🤣

Feels like this should be a story the press covers.

Uh, WTF ARE you thinking about!?

Well obviously he’s not…Patriotic enough!

As a teenager, Everett Miller went through a rough time and started shoplifting. He recalls how a girl's whispered message kept him from making a terrible mistake.

Me watching the guy who does nothing at work all day, leave early.

"In the US, especially among the elites that ought to be leaders, people are hiding because of what Trump can do to them. They're complying in advance, not standing up because they’re afraid. But once there are too many of you for the govt to do bad stuff to each of you, it’s almost like immunity."

Dear #CatsOfBluesky question about water dishes for felines...have dealt with this for years but finding a dish cats are willing to actually drink out of is challenging. Color? Material? Any suggestions or experiences?

YES no elderly statesman, long ago retire no billionaire political hobbyist and for sure no fkn Republican lunatic

Fascinating information. But sorry, white supremacists, we are all a mixture!

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff was reportedly arrested w/coke on him in 2022. Charges later dropped. World Liberty Financial is behind about $1B of the Trumps' wealth and is a major business partner of the UAE's national security adviser. Also does business with Pakistan's gov't.

Not to get all gay or anything, but today's the 65th anniversary of Judy's Carnegie Hall concert.

BTW, this is one of the currently active, functioning, doing-good-science missions that the proposed budget would kill.

The Skeleton Panda Sea Squirt (Clavelina Ossipandae) is a translucent reef-dwelling creature whose rib-like structures and panda-like markings give it a spooky, animated look. Found in Southeast Asia, it harmlessly filters seawater and helps keep coral ecosystems healthy. Original post

The first fireflies are out! We saw them from our courtyard window. We asked the human to bring some in, but they said that was the last thing they needed. (They're no fun.) We're sending out our goodnight hugs to everyone that could use a little light in their life...💖 #CatsOfBluesky #SweetDreams

Another story about sniffing butts and drooling I bet.

🧵 This WSJ article omits two key points about Trump's Freedom 250 v. bipartisan America250: 1. Senators led by Sen. Adam Schiff launched an investigation into Trump's Freedom 250 over fundraising 2. Trump's Freedom 250 is a Christian nationalist hijack of America's birthday (Gift link below)

Listen: Joined ABC Radio National in Australia today. Unpacked Trump, World Liberty Financial, the UAE stake nobody knew about until the WSJ found it, and why 83% of a US president's stablecoin sitting at a sanctions-violating exchange is not a good thing. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
