Best post I’ve seen all day.

I wouldn't tell anyone else how to think or feel, but I will just say that, for me, the only way to stay sane after the 2024 election has been to pretty much abandon hope. The US is cooked. Everything I value about it is doomed. We're heading into a long period of dissolution & chaos.

I don’t think even Mr Roger’s could have melted the hearts now in Congress but he remains an inspiration to anyone to values kindness and compassion over personal gain

US weather forecasting is more crippled than previously thought as hurricane season nears | CNN Several current and former agency meteorologists and staff told CNN they are concerned warnings won’t be issued in time as hurricane season nears.

NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

WASHINGTON, D.C, (May 2, 2025) — Patricia Harrison, President and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), issued the following statement today regarding the President’s Executive Order on public media: “CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government. “In creating CPB, Congress expressly forbade ‘any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors…’ 47 U.S.C. § 398(c).”

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases.

After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.

A picture collage of 9 pieces of art featuring bunnies. There is a tiny brown and white ceramic bunny on blue felted wool, a set of 4 tiny bunny paintings inside bottle caps, a card with a cutout bunny in a rainbow of colors, a ceramic bunny statue, a back and white line drawing of bunnies and chrysanthemums, a photo of a woman by a green wall wearing pink and white bunny ears, a photo of kids doing an art project, a painting of a white bunny on a red background, and a frame with a crocheted bunny sitting on top of a big crocheted easter egg. The last one has a bright pink circle drawn around it because it's my piece.

People with littles or just people who like bunnies: Bunny Fest is coming to the Torpedo Factory! Come see real bunnies or scavenger hunt in the galleries for arty ones, including one of mine (circled).
