I am 62 years old. Raised in the foothills of the Rockies. Son of Michigan. I once got lost in a remote canyon on Cedar Mesa in Utah, after dark.

I'm so tired of vehicle design being what manchildren want instead of what most people need.

These new EVs. Oh they can go 120. Who fucking cares? Idiots that get tickets? This truck can climb the side of a mountain. But it will be used by rednecks to haul groceries to their suburban driveway.

He’s not a superior being. He’s not a political mastermind. He just a wannabe phd who caused a lot of harm with his hubris.

'There are so many bones everywhere': The whale graveyards that transform the deep sea A photographer captured this extraordinary site where whales' bodies lie in the shallows, with troubling repercussions for the deep oceans.

@kathlanpher.bsky.social has written a great article for the BBC about a photography expedition to film at a shallow #whale graveyard near Tasiilaq, Greenland. There are around 20 #minkewhale skeletons here, 15 feet belΓΆw the pack ice

We’re at war, and Trump still hasn’t given a coherent explanation for why the US, alongside Israel, attacked Iran or what the endgame is.

Finding out he was making party cameos at Mar-a-Lago while this was unfolding is nuts.

Bush lied, but at least he made a case to Congress before war with Iraq.

I hold firm to the idea that new people are learning old information for the first time all the time, and it’s normal not to know things. If you’re a journalist (lmao with a Substack, no less) pretending the NYT is fair and balanced about trans people, you’re being malicious. Nobody is that stupid.

I’m sure Democrats hedging in their condemnation just in case an outrage should poll well doesn’t ever help it poll well.

A White House conflict of interests that should be getting a ton more attention.

Some of us are very familiar with this account the pro-Trump X account Johnny MAGA. It built a following of nearly 300,000 by presenting itself as just another independent voice in the MAGA ecosystem.

Trump on service members getting killed in his war: β€œThat’s the way it is.”

Trump when his country called for him to serve: I have bone spurs.

Trump’s sons: We’re too busy making billions off daddy’s presidency in the Middle East to waste time as a sucker and loser.

The job of ICE goons is to fill up all detention centers with us; Americans, any race, creed, or color. It doesn't matter, their job is to fill them with us.

If you're an American citizen, don't think you're safe. ICE goons & Donald don't care, and they don't care if you die in the process. πŸ‘

Why did the art of the live album go away?
I feel like in a time of AI and back tracks we should be honoring bands that play their shit with free live albums.

He started a war without getting congressional approval WITH A MAJORITY. Side stepping your own party means there’s no more separation of powers. It’s just all Trump.

A post from Mark Pocan: Last night, Donald Trump put American troops in harms way without Congressional authority. He is liable for every drop of blood spilled. Congress must immediately vote on a War Powers Resolution to end this illegal war before Trump destabilizes the entire region.

Sorry, I care more about the children and citizens these troops are killing than the troops themselves.

I generally like Pocan, but I hate this dogshit argument that the biggest reason to oppose this war is because of how it affects the troops.
