Great phrase: dissolution by the efflux of their time.

Made my better half a cup of tea for the first time. Fully expecting a Ted Lasso reaction

Back in his favorite napping spot. #bruce

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast! Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑

My very special talent is putting a credit card in the back pocket of a pair of pants, and never seeing it ever again.

NEW: I spoke with Dems about what a DHS shutdown could mean for changes at ICE and CBP. “The stakes are quite high,” @aoc.bsky.social said. “This is a significant moment..." www.notus.org/congress/dem...

Fascinating talk by @hcrichardson.bsky.social at the National Cathedral, as she weaves a hell of a story of post-Civil War America. “I know this isn’t answering your question, but I love rabbit holes.” Same, Heather. SAME.

That was quick

Technically, you’d need a trebuchet.

For no particular reason... The last time the previous question was defeated on a rule was in 1988. ⬇️ (The amendment that was then offered was kind of complicated, but in essence it allowed an education bill to be amended to add a ban on dial-a-porn.)

This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

BREAKING: The FBI releases images that it says were recovered from surveillance video at Nancy Guthrie's house. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/45VVQ4e

She's a million percent not taking you back now, dude.

Bezos had “an acceleration in wealth that saw his net worth rise from $28 billion in 2013 to $222 billion today. The purpose of having f##k you money is to say f##k you, but it seems the purpose of f##k you money is to have more f##k you money.” Read this whole piece. Just brutal.

Here’s some kindness from Canada.. When Olympian Maddie Schizas requested an extension to submit her assignment, her professor replied this ⬇️🥹 Go Maddie 🇨🇦!

So it turns out I cannot draw a proper horse, and yet he can still run. Go Sirocco gooooooo! ((this is way too much fun))

Really need someone to do a piece on the technical choreography of the Bad Bunny performance. How many cameras, jibs, drones (?) - that one insanely long tracking shot, etc… I’d love to see an overhead shot of how he moved through the various sets. Plus the people as plants? Genius.

Plus: Bad Bunny gives Grammy to Good Bunny (Liam)

The billboard behind Bad Bunny during this halftime performance reads: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

That was so very cool.

What about the 5YO American citizen? Nothing. This isn’t a zero sum game. Liam Ramos staying in the US takes *exactly nothing* away from that other 5YO.

Does someone wanna come over and throw the ball to Bruce for a while. We are on Hour Three and the ball is….not holding up well. Bruce is not at all tired yet.

Will Lewis is out at the Washington Post

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

Kid3 studying abroad in EU. Needs good restaurant, museum, cool things, must see recommendations from following places: Budapest Madrid Barcelona Skopje Tiranë Sarajevo Give me your best stuff....and thanks!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Dogs are just the best things in the world. What a good boy.

Canceling your Post subscription doesn’t hurt Bezos. Canceling your Amazon Prime does. I got rid of mine Nov 2024, and discovered two things. 1. I spend a ton less money; 2. Other places still deliver. You don’t HAVE to have ziploc bags etc in 2hours or less. Cancel it. You’ll feel better.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is speaking at the annual Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner, and now will tie a major address on press freedom. You will want to see it. Airing on @c-span.bsky.social tonight.

13 Pulitzer Prizes since Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, including two for Public Service (its highest honor) and he rewards this storied newspaper by destroying the Sports and International desks.

And it passed 217-215...I was wrong. Rose flipped...

CSPAN just now: "John Rose is speaking with Majority Leader Scalise, and persuasion is being applied..."

The vote on the Rule for the funding bills is effectively dead unless one of those two R NAY votes flips. Reminder that a tie is a fail

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true: bsky.app/profile/pith...

He says as much. “Complete Rebuilding.”

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

This picture is what I needed to see. Liam back in his little bunny hat with no ICE claw on his back. Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for getting this sweet boy home.

I think this is a bad idea: 1. You’re giving in to this notion that we have to prove citizenship in the country; 2. It identifies people who aren’t wearing it to be targeted; 3. If ICE wants to waste hours detaining me, that spares another person who could be harmed. Happy to waste their time.

Kid3 made plans to go to Cologne and asked for recs. I gave him thoughts on what to see, great restaurants, and my favorite meal we had there. Even offered what beer to get, since he’s legal in EU. He just sent a pic of my exact recommendations, so who’s the cool mom now?

Gah. This is the exact moment when the reporter he called on should say “Same. Why are you suing the IRS?” Work as a team. Follow up on each other’s questions.

However, even without that, things are still pretty weird www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/m...

“We are a Minneapolis 2nd grade Brownie Troop of 12 including trans and neurodiverse youth and 75% BIPOC kids. We want to go to summer camp and try horseback riding! During the current ICE occupation we need your support more than ever...” And that’s how I ordered 4 boxes of thin mints.

Minneapolis Girl Scout troop is having trouble selling cookies because of ICE. You can get some Thin Mints delivered to yourself…or you can donate your cookie purchase to local Minneapolis heroes helping their communities. You have your assignment. Go.

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Jeff Bezos helped coin the Washington Post’s “Democracy Dies in Darkness” slogan that defined the newspaper since he bought it in 2013 for 0.1% of his net worth. With these layoffs in the sports and foreign desks, Democracy is Dying by Bezos turning off the lights and casting them into darkness.
