Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY.
David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”
I really need to commit some time to this platform if I’m ever gonna have fun with it.

@maryharris.bsky.social Thank you for the #WhatsNext episode today. It reignited the anger I felt during the Act10 episode here in WI, and reminded me of the importance of protest (even when such efforts “seem” to fail). Sorry to hear about your spouse’s job. #Solidarity

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel headline: “Bice: An Elon Musk-backed group buys at least $670,000 of TV time to support Brad Schimel”
🚨 Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is just over a month away, and Musk will spend over half a million dollars to support a MAGA extremist who wants to enforce a 175-year-old abortion ban.
We can't match Musk's money but we have the power of the people. 🧵
A sermon I needed to hear!

A LinkedIn post from attorney Mark Lemly. Meta’s attorney firing his client because of Zuckerberg’s descent into toxic masculinity and neo-nazi madness. Interestingly, he will continue to engage on FB, delete threads. But will BUY NOTHING from the ads so they don’t get credit for the purchases.
One of Meta’s attorney’s walking away. I like his strategy.

Hundreds of galaxies appear in this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, some with eight diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies. Numerous tiny orange dots appear throughout the scene.
this is a galaxy cluster whose light took 10 BILLION years to reach us.
unreal.
