Bob Dylan - “Blood On The Tracks”

He doesn't know or understand his MAGA base *at all*. Or care about them, obviously 🤷🏻‍♀️

🤔🤨 This looks ominous…

The continued presence of the government and public institutions on X should no longer be a matter of debate. It should simply be a matter of shame.

Alabama Execution Witnesses Report “Violent Thrashing” of Prisoner and More Than 225 “Agonized Breaths” in Nitrogen Gas Execution | Death Penalty Information Center The Death Penalty Information Center (DPI) is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to serve the media, policymakers, and the general public…

Utterly barbaric.

Of course, Ingrassia has some form when it comes to the application of the law in this area - to wit, his representation of those other well-known “sex pests” the Tate brothers, in their defamation cases. Such nice people.

❤️ "Somewhere Down The Crazy River" - so beautifully, hauntingly atmospheric. Paraphrasing him, it just gives me the shivers.
In particular, something about that line "I don't know, the wind just kinda pushed me this way..." 💓

Billionaires are now in the business of advocating policies that will make the vast majority’s lives tangibly worse in order to make their lives unnoticeably better. Money is an abstraction to keep score for them. But it’s food, health, and shelter for everyone else.

Barbaric. The Death Penalty has no place in a civilised society, whatever the method employed. #AbolishTheDeathPenalty

Palestinian woman in hospital after being clubbed by masked Israeli settler The attacker is seen striking the 55-year-old woman with a large wooden stick during the assault in the West Bank village of Turmus Ayaa.

What does he have to say about the ongoing settler violence against Palestinians on the West Bank? For example, this just two days ago www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why am I not surprised 😂

For a cavernous building that would be used only a few times a year. At least the royal palaces that have ballrooms were actualy built in a time when they held many balls. This is just a testament to bad taste and ostentatious waste.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A bit late now 🤨

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

“It is not clear that the Trump administration consulted with any of [the relevant] laws or orders, let alone followed them, before demolition began on Monday.”
No surprise there. 🤨

😬 what immediately came to my mind was “Queen Bitch” (Hunky Dory being my favourite Bowie album).

Their teenage sons died by suicide. Now, they are sounding an alarm about AI chatbots Grieving parents and online safety advocates at a congressional hearing called for new laws to regulate AI companion apps to protect the mental health of minors.

Guiding people towards better choices? Such as becoming a "suicide coach", perhaps?

For many, this will be a day evoking feelings of both deep sadness *and* anger. It was an avoidable tragedy, as the subsequent inquiry determined; blame rested entirely with the NCB (which refused to accept liability [publicly] for some time).

Ad featuring photo of balding male, with text: “Top doctor: hair transplant? Do this instead to regrow hair”

Reading @davidcorn.bsky.social’s “My Coffee With Steven Miller” and enjoyed not just the article but also the on-point ad placement it included (twice!) 😂

And exactly what point *is* it that he's making here, Speaker Johnson? 🤔🤨

Trump just told this “I ended 8 wars” lie 🤥 again, so here’s the truth in case anyone cares 👇🏽

He’s clearly never “looked at the people” who attend his rallies - he could be describing *them* here (with most of the signage paid for by *his* campaign) 🙄

Good to see that No Kings has got under his skin.

The ceasefire agreement for which Trump received an avalanche of praise—including a TIME cover—lasted six days.

Six days.

👀

The only arrest of a No Kings protester appears to be that of this woman for wearing an inflatable penis suit 🙄 bsky.app/profile/thek...

The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

"Won"??? He *invaded* and *stole* that "property"!!!

I haven't been able to trust NYT reporting since the days of their Iraq coverage (esp. Judith Miller).
It appears to be going further and further down the drain as time passes.
