Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Seriously we need to end Citizens United. Get the corporate money out of politics.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This entire thread is both amazing work by the OP and also shows what ridiculous timeline we are currently in. It's a ham sandwich through a vest made for bullets... but here we are...

Trump: I demolished the People’s House for my big beautiful ballroom paid for by my rich friends so we can throw lavish parties while millions starve without health care. Tonight… The People: Our turn, motherfucker.

I mean, male Cardinal, then a red bellied woodpecker, with autumn leaves in the background…. And due to technical difficulties earlier, I had just reset it.

I guess I need to get back to the apple farms for pie making with the wife…. Last year was a killer. 😎

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

Male Cardinal came out to watch the sunset. #birds #birdsky

Autumn has arrived. #photography

Is there even a 1% chance that Trump will accept the results of a 2028 election if a Dem wins, & will not attempt to turn this country completely upside down in Nov-Dec 28, employing every means available to prevent that person from taking office? That’s the reason for No Kings.

So yea, I got bored on my lunch hour and automated my "Critter Cams" for a daily video of all clips together. A Docker FFMPEG instance stitches them all by cam, by day and deliver them to me via alert. I'm kind of also a fan of Home Assistant and automation, this adds a calming feature.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

Great…. Now I have this song stuck in my head…. I do love these commercials thoug.. youtu.be/AGRsP8X4B5U?...

OK guys, post your best signs from today for entry into my Top 15 No Kings Sign Contest.

Things I learned today at the museum. Go to museums and learn about Science and History, it may come in handy some day…

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

I do love the “Rock & Hard Place” Trump put himself and the regime in… Open the country and the 218th signature opens Pandora’s Box and deal with 82% of your base turning on you… Alternative, keep country closed too long while troops aren’t paid and being used as political pawns. Hmm

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

What’s Trump on the Reich-ter scale?

The chill moments in life… #photography

We’ve all been there, Penelope, you came to the bar at 12am (first captured around then) and you got cozy with the bartender, had a few too many conversations over walnuts, but girl, it’s 3:30am, you are fixing yourself at the bar….

My new live action critter town is coming along. Birds of the high tower (bird feeder), Nut Bar for the skunks and chipmunks, “critter west” for squirrel picnics and next year an above ground community pool. Also a vegetable garden but they aren’t allowed there. Where’s that red stapler? #nature

Needed some calm. Memories of the day in years past. #photography

I feel the spooky season coming #photography

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Welp, looks like they just moved the blame is all now. Still not subscribing back. Oh look, one oligarch was just outdone over another that you can’t unsubscribe from. It’s almost like it’s an oligarch issue. Of it’s a billionaire, it will only look out for itself.

One decision at a time, with no reason written, just the further assumptions we continually walk down a far deeper, darker path with no people in power willing to stand up for the "little guy". There are some, for sure, but none with power that compares. We must unite as many to overcome the few.

Wow, so saw 2 amazing movies this weekend. “Eden” from Ron Howard (didn’t see this one coming), really good, didn’t realize it was a true story since one of them was alive to tell the story. The other was “Weapons”…. Cool movie, like the “exciting edge on couch” feeling. #filmsky

Went for a journey today through the celery swamp and fern gully, past the trees and smaller things that depend on them as well, to finally reach the waters edge to peer along its wonder. #photography

Newsom’s people are so good at this.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Ok, I'm not sure if I like tattoos discounted/free at my Dispensary... We call it Willy Wonka for Adults because it's like a candy store. They give you free ice pops/ice cream sandwiches and popcorn at the door... I guess they are "temporary" now... Or I could get a cool Cannabis... No..

Hmmm, let’s see what set off the bird feeder in the middle of the night…. Oh look….

Anybody still realize we have over a year to go? That includes 3 holidays and tax season. He’s barely alive on drugs and “Groyper vs Groper” has already begun and is “normies” are caught in the crossfire Hurricane season, recession, likely depression and a global war.. fun. Remember to find calm.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Need to get back out there. #photography

… when the METR team looked at the employees' actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20 percent slower when using Al than when working without it.

My today’s headlines from Wired are starting to look like the next phase of tech after the “shiny” part wears off. AI now for the “alternatives”. Gambling/porn and cults. Usually those are the initial adopters but we have reached the “oh look, so it’s not great at general stuff but..”

FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...

What Cracker Barrel may not realize is that caving on the logo isn’t enough for the right-wing grifters to call off the boycott. That takes cold hard cash and more. This is all about money.

Had to find calm in the chaos. Found some previous years by the river. Nature works to calm me, hope it has the same effect, it only gets more chaotic from here. #photography #hudsonvalley
