This one hurts.

@neilmackay.bsky.social It's not Jesus on a stick (or Christ on a crutch). It's even better.

Gorgeous new book from one of my long-time favorite authors: @jayneannephillips.bsky.social. Buy it or find it at your library!

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Such nonsense throughout, but the worst: “...If people won’t pay for our product, it’s not a good enough product. It would be like poetry without rhyming, it’s too easy.” Is he talking about, um, limericks? #Poetry

Went outside after 8 hours in front of computer. Saw 4 hawks riding the thermals, a Cloister's tabby pitching a mouse in the air again + again, 4 Cardinals, 2 jays, an ancient man feeding a scurry of squirrels + a knot of sparrows, school kids leaving the Cloisters singing ...singing ...singing.

When a hometown nostalgia FB group asked, "What was your favorite childhood game?" a guy responded: "Mudballs packed with gravel."

Concierge medicine - where you pay your doctor extra for "better and faster service than regular insurance holders get" - is more blackmail than health care.

The morning A is quiet. People read, close their eyes, listen to music w earbuds. This morning, a young girl sang, "You're all I need to get by," to her mother. The car got quiet to hear that small voice, "You're all I need to get by." Over and over. And in that moment, in that car, it was true.

A border wall in Big Bend is madness.

Happy to see this. Wonder how the @nypdnews.bsky.social @nypd.bsky.social feels. The NYPD union endorsed Trump.

It's all there. Brilliant new piece from @polgreen.bsky.social.

Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Andra Day.

Incredible performance by David Byrne on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert! Dance, Stephen, Dance!

NEW: Tiny footprints. A blue blanket. The autopsy reports of babies who died after not receiving a vitamin K shot at birth included heartbreaking details about how small the babies were — and what items they had with them when they died.

Call to Activism -Joe Gallina 🚨WOW! Mayor Zohran Mamdani just MOCKED Ronald Reagan’s famous quote. “I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’” “I worked all day and can’t feed my family.” BOOM.

Used to be, incompetence was enough. That seems so quaint now. wapo.st/4uL4dcK

“It’s just frustrating to see them come into our community and run all over us like the citizens don’t matter, and then they’re above the law when they do break it,” resident, James Clifton said. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

I love and respect this scientist. Carl Sagan answers a question about creation vs evolution.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gave Amazon an $8 BILLION tax handout last year. Meanwhile, Amazon executives are planning to replace more than 600,000 workers with robots.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Just 2 blocks away, it really IS this beautiful. #NYC

And in more good news, Big Tobacco is back. Also, eat lots more red meat and wash it all down with a tumbler of ivermectin. That should do it.

Billionaires enthusiastically campaigned for Trump knowing he'd strip away social supports for our most vulnerable. Now they want to be hailed as heroes for donating to fight the poverty they created. Not heroes. Not poverty fighters. These are poverty creators. @robinhoodnyc.bsky.social

Just when you thought it couldn't grosser, a UFC cage match on America's - and Trump's - bday. Not a single guardrail in sight. Who wants this? More imptly, who will make money on it?

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

The Ku Klux Kourt

I wish @governor.ny.gov had fewer billionaire friends. Here she is providing support for private schools. THIS is why the U.S. can't have excellent public education. It's so discouraging.

“American Flag Blue”? Something is very off here. Trump’s turning the Reflecting Pool into a rushed vanity project w/a no-bid contract reportedly costing taxpayers $1.5 - $6.9 mill, handed to a contractor tied to his orbit, the same company that previously worked on one of his golf club pools. 🧵

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Ain't nothing united about the United States. There's always the states that drag us down, keep moving us backwards.

Maybe by 2035, Texas electricity will be as clean as California's was in 1990. Keep at it, Texans.

The car body insect remover spray I bought on eBay has arrived and it's all in German. Luckily I did German at school so I know it says "Spray and leave for 3 post offices. Wipe with a dry Spaniard and interrogate for peace and waffles"

Now they're releasing UFO files to distract from the #EpsteinFiles What a world.

It must be awful (or maybe not) to be a Tennessean whose racism is celebrated for all to see. #VotingRightsforAll

I love these weird kind of stories.

For this year's budget, every staff member will have one week to master an entirely new software that is ever more glitchy and counterintuitive than anything we've ever used before.

Just a small shop on a downtown Roanoke street with a formula of 10 stools, late hours, great chili and now-4th generation family biz that's still thriving. Great to see the iconic #TexasTavern getting props in @southernliving.com. www.southernliving.com/hamburger-he...

If you care about quality journalism focused on food + food justice, you should be reading @civileats.com, which was just nominated for 5 James Beard Media Awards. Bravo!

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

On fashion’s big night out, we turned the lens onto the garment, retail, warehouse, and delivery workers who make the fashion industry possible. Read the full piece: bsky.app/profile/mayo...

I love this so much. Will have to buy my first Musgraves music!

Remember when they told everyone taxpayers wouldn’t pay a penny?
