Hey pals! I just ordered a book via Bookshop.org, which is not only *not* Amazon, it actually supports whatever local indie book store you choose - and oh hey! What's this I have here? Why, it's a refer-a-friend code so you can save 20% on your own order! Yay books! 🎉 refer.bookshop.org/wzh2gw22

Folks if you are a fan/reader/follower of @boltsmag.org - I love their election coverage - do me a favor and take a few minutes to answer some questions about their service.

I guess I just need to say again that my interaction settings are based on my mental health and not other people’s entertainment

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

This is a really important piece from @joyurcaba.bsky.social. Most people think that the government's restrictions on health care for trans people was limited to minors (which has been the government's messaging). It's not, and people need to know about it.

Is this the worst #StanleyCupPlayoffs ever for three-goal leads?

Why did the deer cross the road? To graze on the other side.

And of course gal supposed to bring cheesecake with her special strawberry sauce brought freezer section pound cake and I had to thaw our last blackberries for topping. There's a man asleep on our couch and neither The Mr. nor I know who it is and this is kind of awkward because everyone else does.

Sean Trende’s piece on his son’s last day of school is full of joy and sadness and love and is well worth your time. www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/202...

>>While Trump said he was “terminating the Biden administration’s ridiculous regulations,” the rules were actually written in response to the passage of the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, which Trump signed into law in 2020.<<

How's the party going? 😱 Couple supposed to bring salad brought a grocery store veggie tray that includes peas 🧐 They were also supposed to bring fruit salad but brought a warm watermelon 👀 Couple supposed to bring carne asada for tacos brought wings 🤦‍♀️ Potato salad guy brought cole slaw

I've been in a big Paul McCartney mood lately, between the exciting new Rock & Roll Hall of Fame exhibit on Wings and his forthcoming new album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane." My review of the record and thoughts about the Rock Hall exhibit: anniezaleski.substack.com/p/paul-mccar...

Since everyone is talking about Byron Allen these days for buying BuzzFeed and taking over Stephen Colbert's Late Show timeslot with Comics Unleashed, I figured I'd resurface an interview I did with him three years ago when I guest hosted All Things Considered. LISTEN: https://loom.ly/r0CyUXw

Hey y'all! In 2026 we are partnering with Rainbow Broomfield to manage donations to help cover some of the administrative costs of the auction. We can turn $5 in shipping sponsorship into $25 - $50 for our orgs! This year we're supporting Vote Riders & The Southern Coalition for Social Justice.

never get over this

Because we just need to see the glory of a Hummingbird (from a visit today in my backyard)

Per my calculation, I have to sell about 1100 shirts to fund our insect mural series. Which sounds nuts, ok? I know. That sounds nuts. However... We already sold 132 so... I dunno, maybe we CAN make good things happen with silliness joy and art? I kinda think we can.

For me, the takeaway from Stephen Colbert’s historic run and bitter end is this: We have to fight back. But we can do it with decency (and with better dad jokes than mine). (3/3)

One of the many stupid things about the legislation saying the museum can only honor “biological” women: For many women, this is unknowable to the Smithsonian! No matter how you define the term!

I like to think Stephen would appreciate our unexpected backdrop for the last Colbert Late Show, cross and all

This weekend I'm heading to Minneapolis with my daughter for #Westmoot26. I'll be giving a presentation about storytelling in Tolkien's home and in our own homes. If you're going, hope I might see you there! #westmoot #intothewest

I was in the chamber for this and you couldn’t hear McGovern because it was so loud. Angry Ds as they pulled the vote to end the war (because it would have passed.)

Tonight begins Shavuot, the Jewish holiday of receiving the Torah and revelation. Years ago, many of us on Twitter did “Torah Tweets” during the holiday. I love bringing small pieces of Torah into public conversation. So tonight and tomorrow I’ll be sharingTorah texts. On this platform.

In 2017, we traveled to Brooklyn to do a show at BAM, and our guest dropped out at the last minute. We called Stephen Colbert and he agreed to fill in *but only if we asked him the questions we had prepped for the original guest, without telling him who it was.* www.npr.org/programs/wai...

I covered exactly one NASCAR event. It was a media event years ago before a Chicagoland race. He didn’t care at all that I was so green. He was just fun to talk to.

Sixteen state AGs urge three donor-advised funds to reconsider funding restrictions to the SPLC, a decision that they say will reward the Trump DOJ's "selective political targeting." Among the signers: NYAG Tish James, whom Trump targeted for a dismissed political prosecution. buff.ly/yI91T05

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day. On Bluesky, you might have had someone encourage to use alt text on your images. That's an example of being more accessible for some groups. More resources www.ala.org/accessibilit... accessibility.day #a11y

During Operation Metro Surge, photographers from the Minnesota Star Tribune probably took thousands of photos but they haven't been able to identify everyone in them. Check these out — see anybody you recognize? Maybe it's you? Then get in touch with them: www.startribune.com/are-you-in-t...

BRUCE SANG “FUCKIN LIES” ON NETWORK TV & LET HIMSELF GET BLEEPED INSTEAD OF SWAPPING IN “DIRTY LIES” I am so proud of our boy

Just had a great time at a Teach Truth event in Laguna Beach, really important conversations on book banning and standing up to fascists. Big thanks to everyone who attended!

Incredible thread

They’re Walter Cup champions, Marcus.

Y'all are incredibly helpful. I'll get a harness with a handle and I won't forget my bear spray. And I'm making sure the car has extra towels, wipes and water to clean off for the ride home. Ash says thank you and is concerned about bears now.

Damn, Ottawa got served
