As government shutdown persists, ICE agents are among the still-paid employees receiving ‘super checks’ including lost pay and overtime | Fortune Public finance expert Linda Bilmes says the “arbitrariness” of who gets paid and who doesn’t during shutdowns exposes the “dysfunction” of the budget approval process.

The Epstein Files aren’t the only thing Donald is covering up.

Three men — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos — now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.

They own the media.
They own the algorithms.
They own politicians in both parties.

The system is rigged — but We the People can take it back.

To say that the majority of Trek fans are right wing and that women don’t *really* like it is something that only a real trek fan would know that only a fake Trek fan would say

Today I heard from my elementary school music teacher that there were well over 600 people at the Newark protest!

In retrospect, it's possible that my egg delivery customer didn't need to know everything I know about the Dada art movement and its role in fighting fascism in WWI, but in the moment it seemed super relevant to what we were chatting about.

sincere post: I remember seeing “Billionaires for Bush” at a rally back in the day and it truly broke and reshaped my brain in such a way that I knew satire would be a big part of my life forever.

A crowd of No Kings Protesters along a road.

I was surprised that there was a No Kings protest in my smallish NY town and really impressed at the number of people who showed up. Really glad I went to Newark vs a bigger place. Good to know I'm not alone here. #nokingswaynecounty

Stigmata Mummy Wasp Some internal monologue, a cool wasp that is not for trypophobia sufferers, and a quick note on focus stacking.

Some cool pics of a caterpillar mummy I found, (a former nursery for stigmata mummy wasp larvae). Just scroll past the "blah blah blah my brain is broken" part of the post to get to the good stuff. #insects #parasitods

Phew!

I'm not sure I'm adequately packed to attend an entomology conference but I can't be sure since I'm not an entomologist.

The amount of time I spent looking at interior decorating books instead of shelving when I worked at the library in my teens would probably have led one to believe that my decor would be less chaotic than "thumbtacking whatever to walls"

Record with a photo of jello Biafra printed on it with googly eyes stuck on his eyes. And a leather goat mask randomly hung in front of it.

I noticed a new layer of decor in the studio. Google eyes stuck over Jello Biafra's eyes on the record that is thumbtacked to the wall. We've been decluttering which leads to finding random stashes of googly eyes.

I've lost that race before with an audio book but then the ebook was available, and there was much rejoicing.

I saw a chicken eating a frog today. I thought you should know.
