My niece and her transitioning son are here. They are very silly people. Lots of giggling ensues frequently . We are nor serious people.

Everyone should stop paying taxes.

This is sick and disgusting. Someone has to figure out a way to get these assholes out of office NOW.

There is a very cute young man with a snowblower in our yard. I just thought you should all know that.

FYI @jbpritzker.bsky.social - I'm in Chicago through the weekend.

it's such a huge story and it's being so under-covered

🧵 Trump posted a video depicting the Obamas as apes. He deleted it. A handful of Republicans objected. Most said nothing. Nothing changed. My most recent column isn’t about shock. It’s about consequences.

Whoa.

Morning.

It’s literally this easy.

Not watching the SOTU. Don’t want those people in my TV room.

So here’s the piece I wrote about how Epstein didn’t corrupt the people he reaches out to, he found the already corrupted. newrepublic.com/article/2068...

It’s more and more apparent that powerful men do not believe that women are human beings.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky moments ago about attending Trump's State of the Union address: "How can anyone feel safe in this country when our President's sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and not to survivors?"

NGC 604 is one of my favorite cosmic objects. The purple shows X-rays from Chandra and the rest is visible and infrared light from Hubble. It's an immense star-forming nebula. How immense? Well, see all that detail? It's in another galaxy*, about 3 MILLION light years away. So yeah it's huge.

I’m Blue Bunny! My loving owner was DEPORTED by ICE and I’m not doing well in here- I went from being loved 2being in # NYCACC w/o my family! Will some1 pls come and rescue me? nycacc.app/browse/247140 Pls repost me! 🙏♥️

I've been rewatching Station Eleven on HBO and just finished it. I think this is my third watch. It explores some of the same themes that Hamnet (the movie, not the book) explores - but I think SE does it much better. Kind of a wild take, I guess. At any rate, it's a gorgeous series.

And I thought it couldn't get worse than having to hide under my desk at school & having nitemares about Khrushchev! But I shouldn't be surprised.

Our neighbor just volunteered to shovel some of our walkway! People can be nice sometimes. The snow is almost up to my spouse’s waist and he’s 6’2”

An NPR investigation found that the DOJ withheld some Epstein files related to abuse allegations against Trump. And, what you need to know ahead of the president's State of the Union address tonight. n.pr/4aT95Eh

Reports are now emerging from within the Dilley, Texas ICE Family Concentration Camp, which are referred to as “Blue Butterfly Zones.” These zones are where the camp’s young girls are being kept separated and isolated for unknown reasons.

Lawyer who resigned from ICE last week testified that ICE recruits are not being trained properly. Firearms classes on how to properly use a weapon as well as courses on the Constitution and protesters rights have been cut to meet quotas. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #ObeV1 apple.news/AcQ_9q0SxThy...

Orin O'Brien, double bass player, became the first woman in the NY PHILHARMONIC. She was hired by Leonard Bernstein in 1966. She retired in 2021.

This cartoon isn’t subtle: obscene wealth dining in comfort while children starve isn’t a metaphor, it’s a balance sheet. When billionaires lecture the world about empathy while defending systems that create this scene, the hypocrisy isn’t hidden. It’s the point.

Cannibals who eat themselves? Had Noem recently read Stephen King's short story "Survivor Type"? She's so full of shit. I hate liars.

This is the post where I announce that it’s this guy’s 15th birthday! Happy birthday Frankie Fubbles! He was a rescue-found with his litter mates on the side of the road in a bag in Kentucky. All of them found good homes thanks to NJ Puppy Rescue. All are living good lives! I’ve met several sibs!

Is it weird to have an inappropriate crush on my daughter’s mayor?

My cat objects to my using him as my avatar. Back to Mr. Spock and his Woody Guthrie Lyre it is.

I appreciate the fact that he testified to this.

We're furious, while we're the one's suffering....organize folks, we need to get this direlect IMPEACHED

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Creepy MAGA insurrectionist Mike Johnson is now openly defending his republican House fascist Tony Gonzales who is now embroiled in scandal for having an affair with his aide who later committed suicide. He isn’t a Speaker, he’s a terrorist, a racist and a disgusting zealot.

Hey if you need some more trustworthy Star Trek shirts... I know a guy. (It's me I'm the guy. Visit willburrows.art/shop)

my dog is very confused about how the heck he's supposed to pee when the snow goes up to his back? I just let him out and he can't walk out there. It's kind of funny, but he looks at me with this "make it go away" expression. Of course, I could be projecting...

Trump spent the last 8 months saying that "the nuclear threat of Iran was totally obliterated" by Operation Midnight Hammer which "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come." Were they lying then or are they lying now?

Who is Amanda Marcotte and why the hell was I following her? Childish rage baiting nonsense.

So now we’re going to war. I hate men. I hate humans in general, but especially men.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

I look out the window and all I see is white. Snowpocalypse.

Whitehouse posted this with the above: Roger Sollenberger (Substack) DOJ Deleted Record Revealing That Maxwell Holds Potential Blackmail Over Trump "The document... shows Maxwell's lawyers possess three FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser that haven't been released to the public."

‼️‼️

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

I'm almost afraid to mention this as I'll likely jinx it, but we are one of the few areas on the Cape that actually do have power right now. It keeps flickering, but so far just that. It's wild out there. Kind of awe inspiring, albeit absurdly inconvenient at best, and dangerous at worst.

That's not an abstract painting, it's Jupiter's surface! As a gas giant planet, Jupiter has no solid surface. It's just one big atmosphere. This color-enhanced image from the Juno probe shows the turbulent and dynamic surface of Jupiter's bands and storms in vivid detail. (1/3) #Astronomy ⚛️🧪🛰️

I hate everyone who voted for that asshole.

We're getting two feet of snow on top of the six inches that's been there for weeks. Can't we share some of this? We have plenty of snow- seems hardly fair to hoard it all.

Ok, now I'm really nervous as it appears were in the worst part of the coming storm approach. I'm too old for this shit.

Andrea Pitzer wrote “One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps” This is how she describes ICE detention centers “The..pre-death camp..Nazi concentration camp..we are very much mimicking that. And if they get all the beds that they have funding for, we’ll..approach the Soviet gulag”
