A rally poster with Zohran, Bernie and AOC with the title NEW YORK IS NOT FOR SALE. Text reads: Get Out The Vote Rally, Sunday October 26, Forest Hills Stadium Queens NY.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

some post, by "fullmetallotus", 1 day ago "we don't lose recipes when we pass them down." - a picture of jane goodall meeting greta thunberg some years ago. both seem flattered to meet each other.

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.”

Stephen Colbert's Emmys acceptance speech: "I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor."

Einbinder on saying 'free Palestine' during her Emmys speech:

"It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state."

Tom Lehrer died today. He was one of the great comedians our culture ever produced. Without Tom, there's no Weird Al, probably no that entire branch of comedy.

Breakthrough discovery shows that moths listen to plants — and avoid the noisy ones | CNN Researchers have documented for the first time that insects can hear and react to plants’ acoustic distress signals, which are inaudible to human ears.

If you could hear what moths hear, you too might know the ultrasonic stressed-out sounds of a dehydrated tomato plant. My latest for @cnn.com is about the 1st evidence that insects eavesdrop on plants, with moths using acoustic signals to decide which plants will be the nummiest treats for larvae 🧪

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

The male Black-headed Trogon was working on the nest with his mate today at Agami Island. They've made some progress over the last week, but it's time-consuming creating a burrow in the termite mound.
