Somebody called him rigor tortoise

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

They pay me in SPOIMS!!!

@gailsimone.bsky.social I can't believe nobody thought to have the Parliament of Owls bring the second Blue Beetle back as their servant! He would have been so "Talon Ted"....

under no circumstances should anyone dox the murderer of Renee Good. Jonathan Ross has had a hard enough time already.

A US fighter jet pilot rescued by special forces after being shot down over Iran in April described a shocking sight before ejecting from his aircraft: multiple Iranian drones hovering in the air, moving as one, in a formation that resembled a jellyfish. www.cnn.com/2026/06/23/p...

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz has quashed several DOJ grand jury subpoenas aimed Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, saying they were part of a retaliatory effort over their refusal to aid Trumpa dmin immigration enforcement efforts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Today I officially closed my accounts at Citizens Bank. This is after months of planning and moving money, accounts, etc. Thank you @de-icecitizensbank.org for raising awareness about Citizens’ financing of immigrant detention centers (concentration camps) including Delaney Hall. /1

In an interview with Italian broadcaster La7, Trump asserted that Meloni had pleaded with him for a photo during their meeting at the recent G7 summit in Evian. He also suggested that the Italian prime minister was seeking public validation through an image at his side. Italy’s FM response:

Obama: "A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections."

Keeps getting better (by some very subjective standards of 'better')

The radio was playing "Living in a Box" by Living in a Box on my way home. And based on the number of hits they had, I'm sure they are....

I just finished the Monsters in Love anthology, and it was the best thing I read this week!!! Bravo to everyone involved!

VAN SUSTEREN: Who is our best friend in South America at this point KRISTI NOEM: We've worked so much with El Salvador ... Costa Rica has been fantastic (El Salvador and Costa Rica, dear reader, are not in South America)

I generally don't like cross-posting from Twitter, but Mike Young absolutely nails how the US wound up with a resurgence of the flesh-eating screwworm decades after it had been eliminated.

And the Oscar goes to....🤣😎

Heads up, Chicago, let's flush out this coward.

The existence of Plano, Texas, implies the existence of Overly Decorative Texas.

China is Way Ahead of us…. “Solar panels can't be recycled!" Yes they can. 95% of their components are recyclable. Solar has the lowest environmental impact of any energy source. Now do coal and oil... 😅

in honor of nancy mace losing her bid for governor

No words. #BookSky

Breaking on MS NOW: Donald Trump was just "thunderously booed" during the National Anthem at the NBA Finals in New York, according to the pool report. He was shown on the Jumbotron and then booed so much that the shot was taken down.

I've been watching #Skymed, and Canadians are apparently more broken and hornier than the cast of Grey's Anatomy....

Not even Ken Paxton's former defense lawyer is still willing to defend him

Reminder Ken Paxton who is running for Senate in Texas pardoned his friend who was in jail for raping a boy for years. Oh well, let's move on.

@gailsimone.bsky.social My son and I are binging Brave and the Bold, and we just watched "The Masks of Matches Malone." Brilliant!!! We both loved it!

Early this week, ex-orphan Melia returned to introduce a brand new baby girl to Head Keeper Benjamin and the rest of the Ithumba team. Moon, as we've named her, is Melia's second baby. She is a lovely little elephant, bold and brimming with character. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/calves

My politics are based on helping people, not corporations. When you support, propose, or capitulate to any idea, bill, or law that deviates from that... ... you are a problem. There is no room for negotiation. For far too long we've let the power prioritize capital over human life. Fuck them.

He has officially given up on the $1.776 billion slush fund. UFC fighters are backing out. He already had to cancel the Freedom 250 concert. Everyone hates him. Get ready for unhinged Trash Social rants. I'm so happy. - The Politics Chicks

Hey

Every photo of cars stuck in traffic beside a bike lane has a comment under it saying "I don't see any bikes. Remove the bike lane." Like dude, the bikes are not *stuck in traffic*. They can move freely and disengage themselves from the autonormative hellscape.

You gotta learn to ignore people more. Raising your cortisol for what??? Stomach tore up for what??? Sleep thrown off for what??? Put your hater blockers on and stop letting people stress you out for FREE. Gas is already high, friend, your blood pressure doesn't need to be too.

The cost of Solar panels and batteries has come down massively over the last 2-4 years. We should have these systems everywhere! Oil is a necessary evil, for now. But we need to rapidly move to renewables everywhere.

St Petersburg’s maritime fuel terminal is on fire thanks to a visit from Ukrainian drones. #explodey

Driver just now in Ireland asked me how it was to be an American, and I went off as you might expect. I said something along the lines of “sorry about all this,” and he was like nah, the kind of Americans I don’t like never leave your country.

CBS is advertising hard. They are really trying people to watch Face the Nation. I am definitely not going to be watching that or anything else on that station. Every time a story pops up, they want me to read it on CBS. I keep scrolling until I find a better news source

Happy Pride Month. Let's celebrate with anger and activism--but also with some levity. Let us bring, as the Sibyll of Cumae is said to have said, fiddlers and fear and fire.

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

At the start of my terrorism studies course, I ask students what most terrorists have in common. They always say: 1- Mental illness 2- Religion. They are, of course, wrong. The two most common traits of violent extremists are: 1- Gender 2- History of domestic violence and online mysogyny.

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃
