Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

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

Your 2026 Eurovision winner is #Bulgaria youtu.be/EltgrumKJfk?...

The #Eurovision 2026 Grand Final begins (began, starting late). And once complete it seems to me that someone should introduce the Shiny Cypress singer to the Tonga Olympic Flag bearer.

Late to the task and no running commentary for Night Two #Eurovision semi-final. My Top Three (we'll see if more than one makes it this time): Bulgaria Romania Luxembourg

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

Happy #Eurovision 2026! I will be seeing the First semi round performance for the first time tonight. I did preview Finland and it appears no fun songs about cumming, dancing the cha cha cha, or loving Windows 95. Oh well.

Monday = Portland Country Underground at the Laurethirst.

Christina Koch of the Artemis 2 mission: Earth is a lifeboat in a sea of darkness . . . everyone on it is the crew. ; It is no surprise that it can get lonely, quickly. We can only survive together, helping one another, loving one another.

welcome to bluesky. here is your copy of the communist manifesto and a season pass to monday night RAW for some reason.

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

Gave them a spectacular show

Love David Byrne….hope the kids at Coachella were paying attention and appreciated the genius they were witnessing last night "Love and Kindness are a form of resistance"

I don’t care. Do you?

Awkward scenes aboard Artemis II as Trump stops ranting and none of the astronauts have anything left to say to him, leading to extended dead air

Rocky's “Amaze, Amaze, Amaze” catchphrase was mentioned in NASA communications with the Artemis II crew.

science lady is excited

The glee in the faces of the science desk as the crew describes seeing impact flashes on the moon is priceless. #artemisII

Total solar eclipse! Solar corona! From behind the Moon! #Artemis

Carroll ♥️

Love your neighbor.

So when Artemis comes back from behind the Moon, we all yell “Surprise!” right?

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

The new Flea album is quite cool. He enlisted some great musicians like Jeff Parker and Thome Yorke. I am genuinely surprised, as is my dog Esther by my Fosse meets Reis interpretive living room dancing to the album. #jazz youtube.com/playlist?lis...

As online platforms make gambling easier and more convenient, some Pennsylvanians are gambling more often and may be more prone to developing problems.

Bush II set the bar very high but between this, USAID, the mass deportation atrocities and a conservative projection of the result of the anti-vax movement I think we can pretty definitively say Trump is the worst President now

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

I think Ghengis Khan and Rameses II were the two most famous straights in history

We don’t have to look for an individual, for a savior, for an Übermensch. The counter to Trump is civil society. Changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. (Paraphrased to fit) quote: @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m...

For International Women's Day, I present Maya Lin. Born in Ohio to Chinese immigrant parents, she was 21 and a student at Yale when her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial topped over a thousand others. www.pbs.org/pov/films/ma...
