"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life." - Hermann Hesse 🎨 Julia Tar

The puffins were adorable! #newfoundland

In Greek mythology Narcissus is brought down by Green reflecting pool 🤔

I think this is what most of us want… So how do we make it happen… Vote Only Blue!! 🔵

The same folks who are *obsessed* with banning gender affirming care in civilian life are going to provide gender affirming care in the military. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A tearful final question from Carolyn Harris for Keir Starmer during his final #PMQs

NYT editor Joe Kahn: "We're going to continue to report — both about Air Force One, and on the circumstances around the government use of prosecutorial power to intimidate the independent news media." www.cnn.com/2026/07/15/m...

The cyclospora outbreak isn't only a public health issue. It's economic. Farms, produce suppliers, restaurants, grocery stores, are all going to take a hit (and likely already are) as fruits and vegetables go to waste and are left to rot because the trust is gone. If only we still had regulations...

Sounds like gender-affirming care to me.

Grabbing a burger today, start talking to this older gent who lived in England in 50-60s making films for the air force. I ask what he did in Hollywood. Mostly commercials but he, Robert Sallin, did produce STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KAHN. Holy shit! He told me ’live long and prosper‘ when he left.

To the suits at ABC: You have the opportunity to turn your network into a national hero of sorts. Maybe you haven't noticed, but most of us can't stand Trump and MAGA. Look what's happening to CBS. Go the other way. Take a stand against these fascists and become the most popular network in America.

Trump & corrupt fake “Christian” Nationalist, Project 2025 corporate fascist Brendan Carr @ FCC are ATTACKING ALL USA INDEPENDENT NEWS, from the top via hostile takeovers by Ellison, AND by SHUTTERING LOCAL ABC affiliates - because Jimmy Kimmel hurt poor snowflake Trump & hooker Melania’s feewings.

AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.

Every data center should be required to have solar panels cover their rooftops.

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

I've just seen about 40 kids sneak into watch 'The Odyssey' without paying by hiding in a giant wooden coat.

Cheapo and ignorant Trump cut the FDA whose job it is to keep our food safe!!! @theverge.com

Now they’re trying to convince us that a data center is not a data center?

He should just appoint someone.

Wishing a Happy 80th Birthday to my favorite member of the 1970s #Dodgers, Linda Ronstadt!

As Mayor, Katie Wilson Doesn't Travel Much. When She Does, You'll Find Her in 23F. Unlike her predecessor, who traveled first-class and was out of town for much of his term, Wilson rides in coach and has mostly stayed in Seattle.

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

You know what doesn't cause apocalyptic skylines and wildfires? Solar panels. Can we stop burning fossil fuels and just start massively investing more in renewables and battery tech, please?

Linda Ronstadt - Blue Bayou Linda Ronstadt is celebrating a birthday today! I still love this version of the Roy Orbison/Joe Melson track. What a voice! #LindaRonstadt #MusicBirthday #MusicSky #MusicCover #RoyOrbison #BlueBayou youtu.be/Kp9G0zkorio?...

His name is Peter and he works at the Old Florida Book Shop in Dania Beach, Florida. He loves reading Shakespeare.

Only 1 person had the power to replace him and he didn't.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but they're using sewage water on our food, so they can use the fresh water on data centers.

Todd Blanche: We are keeping America safe. Murders are down. Renee Good. Alex Pretti. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

We are tolerating too much. We are being assaulted.

On Monday, Joan Sebastian Guerrero was shot and killed by ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine. Reports say Guerrero was authorized to legally work in the US and not even ICE's target. @annayeo.bsky.social was on the ground Tuesday in Biddeford and spoke with locals—including one man who knew Guerrero.

on this day in 1799 the "Rosetta Stone is found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta by French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign." This Stone was a key to translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, "unlocking 3,000 years of lost history and culture."

Happy 80th birthday to one of the greatest voices of her generation, LINDA RONSTADT ❤️ (July 15, 1946)

I've always loved this bit of road - a veritable cathedral of trees.

People are always talking about the things we have today that our ancestors didn't, but nobody wants to look at the things our ancestors had that we've lost. Like community, and free time, and environmental sustainability, and a collective that cares whether we live or die

Amen. #BookSky

Any word on getting any food safety protections back? Or do we just have to continually deal with food borne illnesses while these incompetent fools are in charge? Asking for Americans #fdt #ScienceMatters

Meryl Streep chimes in 💯💯🎯
