They are Republicans. Every accusation is a confession.

Another Meep! That was the name of my first cat. She was a tiny kitten, and I asked her what her name was. She said, "Meep!" :-)

Curious how seven million "No Kings" supporters can protest peacefully, while the violence comes from the pro-Trump side.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

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.

Chef Andy approves!

You are trapped. This is the Law of Cat.

Hi Neighbor! (Narragansett is my go-to beer at home :-)

Hurrah for Boston putting public health first, with no shaming or red tape! www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Let's let Charlie Kirk's words speak for themselves: "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

In the teacher's parking lot, I just saw one black woman jumpstart another black woman's car. They were absolutely delighted and jumped up and down saying "We got it. We got it!"

Cliches are bullshit.

If "the illegals" are gone, shouldn't you have MORE people working as the Fox-watching patriotic "legal" Americans take their jobs?

Fox News doesn't particularly encourage critical thinking skills, does it...

Sorry to see them go. They provided us much amusement during college. You have until September 14th to make any last-minute orders.

Boston has just opened their first few dozen apartments made from repurposed vacant downtown office spaces. Many more to come!

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties.

Let me get this straight:

—First Trump tanks the economy.
—The data confirms that he's tanking the economy.

I see this dodge all the time with my conspiracy oriented online "friends".

Scientists discover a whole new type of ecosystem 30,000 feet deep In Pacific Ocean trenches, scientists found creatures that expand the limits of where we know life can live on Earth.

Cool. Our own world is infinitely more alien than we realize.
"[T]he creatures that live around cold seeps — places where gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide ooze from the seafloor at near-freezing temperatures, often where tectonic plates meet — have been understudied."
