semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Might actually try printing this one. Shot on my Fuji GFX 50SII with an old projection lens #fujigfx

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

I guess we’re calling him Pippin. Actually not my idea. @scotttilted.bsky.social @elliecavalli.bsky.social

The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.

It's time for another round of Weird Thing I am Genuinely Annoyed About: Trump won't have to see how happy everyone is when he dies.

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

Love good lacing

I know some of you all here have enjoyed my threads of local apples; if you're feeling generous, you can donate to make it possible to have more seedling apples identified. @kwiaht.org is raising funds through the Orcas Island Community Foundation oicf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

I’m not very good at self-promotion, but here’s a repost for the Sunday readers out there 🙂 There’s a claim that is being repeated more often of late that cyder was a different and superior drink to cider. In this long read (perfect with a cup of tea or a glass of cider) I debunk this modern myth.

Old orchards have remarkable stories to go with their unique seedling varieties.

This is a lovely conversation we published on CR, a transcript of my friend Jack and @tomoliverscider.bsky.social’s chat on stage at the recent PerryFest in Hereford’s Museum of Cider. An honour to have my little project mentioned by Tom too! 😊

We were just notified that cell-site simulators were used during the No Kings protests in several cities. Fortunately, we planned for this. Portland, Houston, Philadelphia, and Chicago were among the targeted locations. If you’re attending protests, please remember to follow protocol.

I spent the past few days curating iNaturalist data to generate distribution map of native North American crabapples! Yes, there are four North American native crabapple species. iNaturalist community is critical to document their distribution Please share & acknowledge #Biodiversity #NativePlants

In Savannah for the week.

It is a fabulous fruit year in the islands and I'm trying to share as much of it as I can with y'all.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

Made the papers 🍎🍎🍎🍏🍏🍏

Gonna sound obvious but in retrospect the right's half-century-long campaign to convince the public that the government doesn't actually do a ton of useful stuff was among the most successful PR campaigns ever

Look, I'm paranoid, so I truly think that everyone who cops to a preexisting condition to get that Covid vaccine is going to get burned on insurance somehow. We should all still get the vaccine, but list the reason as "close proximity to someone who is immunocompromised."

The whole Maxwell interview feels staged, especially with how aggressively it’s being pushed. Something doesn’t add up, if Clinton and Trump are supposedly innocent and no list exists, then why not release the full unredacted files?

one guy even tried to give us a sandwich

Kemker Kultuur: Rediscovering Tradition in Farmhouse Cider Making @barmas.bsky.social introduces Brauerei Kemker, a German farmhouse brewery that is making cider as an integeral part of their philosophy.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

When in Rome.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

Recent book acquisition, had to get it once I saw it came from the now defunct Home Orchard Society

Not a bad combination.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.
