I would love it if those of you who do not have library cards will apply for one at your local branch during #NationalLibraryWeek. Then let me know about it. 😇

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

A gunman fatally shot seven of his own children and another child in an attack at a Shreveport house, police say.

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN. Remember this when we can take back the House in November.

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

"Some of the legislation which is great that you've been talking about—there is 0 chance that that'll be signed into law by President Trump, period, full stop. And that's the reason, that's another reason why we have to put the horse before the cart, and the horse is getting rid of him."

The Pope is winning the attention economy.

This happens to me at least 3x a day

I’m done saying “WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!!!!” ten thousand times a day. I’m getting a big rubber stamp that says it and I’m just going to stamp that shit on every forehead I see. twice on the big ones.

Is the Republican Party officially declaring itself to be a Christian party? Is belief in Jesus’ resurrection in the platform now? This is not a “big tent” — this is theocracy.

Exactly. There's far too much emphasis on the I of AI, and not the A.

"And then all the right-wingers heads exploded like BOOM!"

A video captures Gaza's transformation: from bustling streets to war-torn ruins. Gaza City was once the largest and most vibrant urban center in the Gaza Strip, home to more than 700,000 people before October 2023.

Just saw an excellent local production of The Crucible. I hope they'll do John Proctor is the Villain next season.

I'm nostalgic for a time when presidents were decent human beings, were kind to children and didn't abuse them

Omg, my heart.

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

The only way to ever restore the United States’ standing in the world is for the next administration immediately incarcerate and prosecute every higher-up Trump administration official.

"I realized, 'Wait a minute, my mother is a painter.' My mother quit for 12 years, and it broke my heart." - @edsolomon.bsky.social for @defector.com, i talked to Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon about making their wonderful new film, The Christophers

This. This is the beauty I want in our world

Happy Saturday! A really funny conversation between Obama and Mike’s girlfriend. So charmingly funny! 😀

The rationed slop being served to troops by the U.S. navy … compared to what the French and Swedish navies serve their troops.

My name is Dr. Annie Andrews and you better believe people will know my name — it’ll be on Lindsey Graham’s Wikipedia page, filed under “successor.”

"She tutored the activists on immunology and virology and schooled them in the intricacies of the Food and Drug Administration’s approval process and pharmaceutical research protocols." [Gift article] www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

Yep 🤬

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but I am begging people to picture the society that has no educational infrastructure for these subjects except at the ivy level

And here’s a gift link to the remarkable story about the FBI Director from @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The worst part being when you tell people this and they go, "Well, man, what even *is* intelligence? Aren't we, in a way, just predictive?? What's the difference???" Then they open up draft kings

His delusional lies kill people, mostly children

Here's a fun thread

Medical students in Gaza restore one of the oldest libraries after it was bombed by the Israeli occupation.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

we are being run by drama kings

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

Mar-a-Lago dining experience vs. U.S. troop dining experience…

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

Peace, but only during trading hours

no one likes historians because every time someone says “oh this is unheard of” historians are all like “well actually” and fundamentally it just doesn’t sound as impressive if you have to say “in these slightly precedented times”

This is what happens when you have an incompetent fool with no experience in charge of the Pentagon. Pete likes to put on makeup and appear on camera, boasting about war and its warriors, while essential tasks, like making sure those warriors are fed, are not seen as flashy enough to bother with.

Marlene cooked with this one.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social delivered a #CupOfJoe with a latte taxation vertical equity for his beloved city. Promises made, promises kept. More of this please!
