Today, I let Snowball play with a toy that's been off limits to him till now—a pinky fuzzy mouse that my mom bought because she thought it was cute, that makes trilling and chirping noises when you press a button on its back—and he was SO content and affectionate afterwards, he melted into my desk.

New toy new toy new toy!!! #guitar

If Trump did this ONE thing when former al-Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Sharaa was in the White House, we would have had to give him props. Instead, it was yet another humiliation.

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection. We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election. We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future. And we won. This is YOUR city!

This is State Senator and President Pro-Tem of the Missouri Senate, Cindy O’Laughlin. They don’t care. They never did. They like conspiracy theories because it makes them feel like they know more than other people, but they are in a cult. If their cult, leader is implicated, they disengage.

Senator Mark Kelly on ICE agents: "I’d like to see them wearing an ID, not wearing masks and telling Stephen Miller, or Kristi Noem that we will follow the law... "There’s evidence that there are deported American citizens, and they’re breaking up communities. It benefits our country in no way."

A landmark that definitely deserves his name.

These Megan Kelly clips are pretty good proof that a lot of people have gotten much much much worse over the last 10 years

The sexual abuse of minors is not a partisan issue. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles is about right vs wrong, good vs evil, and it’s long past time to acknowledge and protect the survivors. All members of Congress must be on the side of justice. Voters are watching. 2026 is coming.

Interested in using continuous traits for phylogenetic estimation? We took a hard look at this in a well-studied clade. There’s a lot of promise to these data, but still much work to do to be able to make full use of them doi.org/10.1093/sysb...
