Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

“What’s up?” is the Bluesky prompt for posts. Our benefits and lifelines are “what’s up” on Nov 1. As the regime continues to spend lavishly (and anonymously) on “ballrooms,” illegal bombings, and Trump himself, Americans are struggling: food, healthcare, jobs, ICE… Cruelty is the point. Vote 🗳️

Morning. ☕️

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

@maddow.msnbc.com Best sign of the day here in Eugene, Oregon!

And since I’m on the subject of autumn, the cover of the latest New Yorker is just joyous.

Local chili parlor, waitress had effervescent green eyes. Disturbing. Brilliant. Asked if they were real color . She said no. I reacted "thank God". She switches colors as Halloween approaches. I loved her attitude. Made my lunch hour. Also ,I've decided that I want to participate in a haku.

Truth!

Ace Frehley, the founding guitarist for the rock band KISS, has died at age 74

I, too, stand ready to collaborate with any supertalented musician who wants to use their platform to spread knowledge of history.

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall. (And she threw in a little salt for the evil ones, too)

BREAKING: A federal appeals court just blocked Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship No president can change the Constitution with the stroke of a pen. Here’s the ruling 👇 -TN democracydefendersfund.org/prs/10.03.25...

Let us take a note from #JaneGoodall.... “I have days when I feel like not getting up, but it doesn’t last long. I guess because I’m obstinate. “I’m not going to give in. I’ll die fighting, that’s for sure.” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

"The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves" Rest easy Jane 🫶🏽

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Swear her in.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

"The point is that voters are hungry for authenticity, for leaders who understand their lives, and for a Democratic Party that fights as hard as the stakes demand." Read @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social's op-ed on Meidas+. 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/dont-let-a...

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

McMorrow: Meanwhile, farmers are being told, “You’ll be okay because we’re going to bail you out.” Having pennies put back in your pocket while Donald Trump is building ballrooms or filling the Oval Office with gold décor from Home Depot just feels insulting. It is beyond insulting.

What a great Kahu he is! Kahu is a Hawaiian word that means guardian, protector, or caretaker. It is often used to refer to someone who is entrusted with the safekeeping of something precious, such as a pet or a loved one.
