If you don’t know, you don’t know. Fair enough. But now you do. Be like Ike. #antifascism

I’m not gonna shoot, burn, blow up, or drown my iPhone, but it’s the last one I‘ll buy. Ever.

Shopette.

Honey, the stupids are stupiding again.

This is a good watch.

The word pedophile is too academic and clinical. Can we go back to child molester? An example sentence: Republicans molest children and commit voter fraud.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

To all the goons in dhs and ice: “Just following orders” is a confession. Rudolf Hess hung himself in prison after nearly 50 years of a life sentence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Exactly what I needed today.

Fold the laundry, or take a nap?

On far more mundane troubles, my dog got skunked today. This magic elixir did the trick again: 1 qt (950 ml) 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 c (60 ml) baking soda 1 tsp (5 ml) dish soap It’s not really all that magical. I usually do it 2x, then a normal shampoo, and then he’s bearable. #skunked

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

These are the 2025 films still to be released by Disney. Not a nickel from me. Fuck the circuses and bread’s expensive.

Charlie Kirk was a demonstrably awful human being. I’m glad he’s gone. The President, Donald J. Trump, is a rapist. The Vice President, J Divans, is a sectional predator. The Supreme Court is corrupt.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Oof, this hurts. RIP, Robert.

I’ve been finding this to be true when I talk to people offline. Make sure to quote him directly to people you know that aren’t engaged & may not have even heard of him until he died. They need to know who this admin put on Air Force 2 & flew flags at half mast for—not the sanitized version.

Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and Gilbert were murdered by Republican voter, Vance Boelter on June 14, 2025. They were not objectively terrible people. Also, Gilbert does not appear to advocate stoning people to death.

FAFO, wee forest creature.

Pundits predict Trump’s “Thank you for being my pedophile friend” letter will hurt Democrats somehow

I’ve had a few dozen trips around the sun, but this is new information. I love to eat, love to cook, and even enjoy the grocery. But, as it turns out, photographs of food viscerally disgust me. Huh.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Flyyy!

Mayor Brandon Johnson signed a wide-ranging executive order Saturday that includes banning law enforcement from wearing masks in Chicago and requiring them at all times to display what agency they work for.

The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.

Almost first light with a new long lens. I was mucking about and got surprised by a herd of wee dinosaurs and their mother. #BirdsofBluesky #wildturkeys #intheboonies

Meet my new rabbit, Mandelbrot. This where he lives. Not down in the hole though; he mostly keeps to the edge. #mandelbrotset #MandelbrotMonday

I chanced upon a gold bearing rock while walking the dog. I recently found a couple more in the same spot. Exciting for sure, and this article adds another fascinating and perspective-shifting bit. theconversation.com/cosmic-alche...

An Olden Golden in the tall grass makes my heart beat faster. Fall’s coming. If you know, you know.

FAFO… BRAVO!

Just a quick heads up: when Jupiter and Venus rise tonight, the Perseids’ radiant will be in the same general direction. That’s roughly NE at 3:40 am in my big lake neck of the woods. The clouds are a big if, there’s a wildfire smoke alert, and the dew point will be a problem, but nevertheless…

Maybe fastmovingcreekwednesday? The light is strange lately. The color is almost like late afternoon, but it’s missing the lushness; there’s no fat to it. It’s the wildfire smoke. #WaterfallWednesday #EastcCoastKin #climatechange #smokey

I searched for Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution at Constitution Annotated, a .gov site.

Mandelbrot set?! Julia?! Fatou?! Holy hell, my mind’s blown! I know fractals have been around forever, and the above for a minute now, but it’s always been outside my wheelhouse. Thanks, @issabild.bsky.social 😁🐰🕳️😁

Anybody else in the UP and northern Wisconsin notice a staggering decline of insects this summer? I live in the boonies, two neighbors within a mile, on the edge of a CEDAR SWAMP, and virtually NO MOSQUITOS this year. Sounds nice at first, but zero bat sightings as well 😢

In the UP tonight, the forecast is for clear skies, moderate auroral activity, and the Perseids radiant in the N/NE. The dew point’s in the mid-60s though.

I got a bit luckier here. Also got to watch through the telescope

I had planned to capture a time lapse of the Moon and the Pleiades rising over Lake Superior. But then, fog. It woulda been sweet, I think. #stellarium #nightsky

This is an account of what happens when police have no fear of accountability. WARNING: The article is graphic and extremely disturbing.

I was really, painfully ill yesterday and still a little queasy this morning. It felt like food poisoning, but I wasn’t sure…until the foodfriday pics started coming through my feed😁🤢😁 #blueskymedical
