Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

this, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

The most successful political propaganda in our time was convincing millions of people that caring for others and the planet was somehow a threat to America.

i hate defending Ro Khanna of all people, but it seems like it should be a bigger deal that some weirdo militia held a congressperson hostage but whatev

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV

A federal appeals court today struck down parts of Florida’s Stop WOKE Act, calling it a “breathtaking assertion of power” that unconstitutionally censors what professors can discuss with their students about race, sex and other forms of bias. www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/07/07/f...

Our refrigerator and freezer have been running off of our car for 36 hrs now. That used 17% of the battery. It's good for a couple more days before it could use a recharge, should we still be out. EVs are more than mobility. They are also resilience.

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Happy 250th you big, boisterous, complicated, beautiful country.

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

Transgender people in sports is almost as big of an issue as voter fraud. Both are invented issues designed to scare the gullible idiots.

MMM7 mangrove conference has started in Ishigaki Japan. Steve and Anna Armitage in attendance.

Many elderly and disabled people depend on our bike lane network, and yet are somehow completely invisible to and neglected by society.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

AMAZING: Protesters are now tearing down barricades at a beach in southern Albania, saying that the land belongs to the people and not to oligarchs like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Share everywhere to show your support! substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Massive tax cuts for the rich, massive cuts to social welfare programs, massive new funding for immigration shock troops. This is what you get when you elect Republicans.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Axios reports the reflecting pool algae has become sentient and is slowly moving towards the NASA Smithsonian Museum with unknown intent.

Whether it's China developing an electric car that can charge in 5 minutes or Donald Trump keeping Washington's reflecting pool algae-free for nearly 48 hours, both countries have pushed the limits of their technological capabilities.

I'm literally a professional crustacean scientist, but in motion this looks more like a @realgdt.bsky.social fantasy creature! Btw it's swimming butt-up. Paddles are back legs, long ones are front legs. Weird branched stuff is its food royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

did you guys know they still allowed good news

Elon Musk's net worth tripled since Donald Trump became President, which should piss every working American off to their very core. He gutted the government, gutted safety nets, made so many people lose their jobs and livelihoods all so he could become the world's first trillionaire.

It’s beyond sickening that Elon Musk – the world’s first trillionaire – pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses. It’s not complicated – we need to actually TAX THE RICH.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

MAGA is trying to claim, “but the border is closed!” as if it's some counter argument. Screwworm flies have wings hence why prevention efforts were located in Central America and Mexico. DOGE teenagers eliminated those programs thinking it was fraud. And now we suffer from MAGA beliefs.

I thought this shit only happened in films. "When gardaí arrived on the scene of the crash involving three vehicles ... the dead man was found slumped in the passenger seat of one of the cars. He was wearing a balaclava and carrying a Sig semi-automatic handgun." www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind. "One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing." Amazing powers of prediction.

This seedling of a terrestrial plant was growing out of a pvc pipe marking a plot in the marsh in 2025. I was surprised to see it still alive in the same pipe (a little worse for wear) when I sampled again in 2026. The pipe traps rainwater, so it's growing in fresh water, but only when it rains...

My bill allowing people to use plug-in solar (“balcony solar”) just passed a key Assembly committee. Plug-in solar is a low cost device that generates a limited amount of solar energy to power your home, reduce the amount of electricity you draw from the grid & thus lower your bill. 🧵
