Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

RIP Diane Keaton, seen here sharing a brilliantly hearty laugh with Jack Nicholson.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Researchers find methane leaking out of cracks in Antarctic seabed One of the most potent greenhouse gas emissions has been discovered seeping out of cracks of the Antarctic sea floor, researchers have found.

New evidence shows methane which is 25x more potent than CO₂, is leaking from cracks in Antarctica’s seafloor. As ice melts, massive hidden reservoirs may be releasing this “super pollutant,” accelerating warming.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

White House declines to engage Democrats as shutdown drags into second week The White House has yet to engage Democrats on ending the government shutdown, despite the potential political ramifications of the closure.

They shut down the government with a partisan plan that has us barreling toward a national health care crisis — and they won't even come to the table.

Oh, and House Republicans have been on a paid vacation for weeks. They just don't give a damn about anyone other than their billionaire buddies.

More Republicans break party ranks: 'MTG was right' WASHINGTON — In the unusual world of Congress during a shutdown, far-right firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has emerged as an unlikely ally of Democrats, seeking to save millions of Americ...

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Queensland to burn coal for decades as LNP tears up Labor energy target The Crisafulli government has officially ditched the former state government plan to cut off its reliance on coal in 2035, with a pledge to burn the fossil fuel until at least 2046 but probably longer...

#Crisafulli & his #RWNJ Mates, don't give a fuck about Queenslanders, tying us to redundant technology at higher costs. Unforgivable, just to please their #FossilFuelMasters

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Liberal Party factions: The split in the Right that is reshaping the political landscape The splits within the Liberal Party have been on show since the May election. But they run deeper than most may realise.

Perfect, more #RWNJ #Trump rubbish!
Exactly what our fractured country needs.

"But in the five months since the last election, a new group of conservative MPs within the National Right faction, with a distinctly Trumpian-populist flavour"
