New, amazing footage of 90,000 people on Sydney Harbour Bridge, marching to end the genocide in Gaza.

A protest the city and New South Wales authorities did NOT want to happen.

One more thing to figure out soon. The mental load of this dystopian nightmare is draining the shit out of my spiritual battery.

I really hate the line that Epstein is the “thinking man’s QAnon”. It’s smug, inaccurate, glib and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of how the two entities interact with each other and with reality. The Epstein case involves is a real criminal conspiracy with dozens of actual victims!

Critical thinking is no longer a prerequisite for survival.

Or maybe invest in accessible public transportation instead of internment camps. If the government subsidized public transit like they did locking people up we would have the best trains and subways in the world!

Opinion | 845,000 dead on U.S. highways. Why not address the main cause? We need to ramp up the standards for road tests and train people to be better drivers.

"Approximately 94% of car crashes involve some form of driver behavior like speeding, distraction, failing to yield or DUI identified as a contributing factor..."

Day 55 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😮

Let’s bust a BIG myth:

Jumping spiders aren’t aggressive, they’re just misunderstood 💚 They’d rather observe, explore, and wave their little arms than pick a fight. They shouldn't be punished for merely existing 🥺 #jumpingspider

What state have we got to as a country when saving human life has to be justified?

The FBI took her $40,000 without explaining why. She fought back—and lost. There is little accountability in civil forfeiture, which allows law enforcement to seize assets without charging the owner with a crime.

This story is wild. The FBI violated a warrant & took an innocent woman’s life savings. They never said why—because they don’t have to.

She sued to stop that. Her case was thrown out last week. So the feds can keep seizing people’s stuff without charges or explanation. reason.com/2025/07/28/t...

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Finally some good news!

The emerging coup Lawless authoritarian regimes don't give up power willingly.

New in PN: The emerging coup

"Congress has just handed the coup leader in the White House new, dangerous tools that he and his cohorts could use in their next attempt to overturn the nation’s democracy once and for all."

Brad Edwards | Founding Partner Brad Edwards is a prominent sex abuse lawyer who also represents victims of violent crimes.

Brad Edwards, FL Atty, represents over 300 Epstein victims. He should do a blanket statement identifying "who" raped them. The rapists are on an extensive list that has innocent people, too. The fastest way to handle this, imho. www.crimevictimlawfirm.com/attorneys/br...

Telling women to modify their behavior to avoid being victims of violent crime ignores the actual issue of predators being predatory. Predators like a challenge and still telling victims they are responsible absolves the predator completely.

Elite Dislocation and the Politics of No Return In between nervously freaking out about the future of higher education and education more generally, I’ve been thinking about possible tomorrows. Will we come back from this? Will we rebuild the in…

These are the reasons I am pessimistic about the future of science. TL;DR, we are ruled by dumb elites. Even with dems in the White House and Congress, broader political structures and forms of support are unlikely to change.

NYC I love ya but we do *not* have this election in the bag. A lot of people with a lot of money will be doing a lot of things to get Cuomo elected and they will have learned from the primary and we have a *lot* of work ahead so please do not pat yourselves on the back yet 🥳

This guy makes skits but they’re based on real things that are happening.
That little fact about the plague that Arizonan died of is sending me into spirals. People said it’s no biggie about that plague death, but I’m not so sure. A 100% mortality rate is bad, no?

Headline 1, "Americans are losing spending power, say researchers: Most can no longer afford a 'minimal quality of life.'" Headline 2, "The 10 richest Americans got $365 billion richer in the past year. Now they're on the verge of a huge tax cut."

The United States summed up in two headlines.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

You deserve an epsom salt bath:)

The Quilting Colonel Running for Mitch McConnell's Open Seat Kentucky State Representative Pam Stevenson

Let me introduce you to Col Pam Stevenson, who is running for Mitch McConnell’s Senate in Kentucky. She is a firecracker and a fighter. She’s also a quilter with some absolutely gorgeous pieces under her belt — wouldn’t it be nice to have an artist on the hill?

Ted Cruz was vacationing in Greece when the deadly Texas floods broke out. His office says he took the first flight home. Texas’ junior senator was visiting Greece Friday when the Texas flood turned deadly. Cruz, who did not return until Sunday night, communicated with officials from Athens.

When millions of Texans were freezing and without power Ted Cruz was poolside at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun.

When Texas authorities were searching for children's bodies swept away in a flood this week, he was strolling the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. #FledCruz

If you are “afraid for your sons" based on 2% of reported rap3s being false, imagine how afraid we are for our daughters based on the other 98% .

Fuck! Sending you a big virtual hug! Some potassium and magnesium would likely do more for your adrenals than my virtual hug but can’t hurt!

A slaughterhouse worker, viewed from the waist to the knee, wearing a blood spattered white rubber apron and clutching a blood stained knife in a blood stained hand. In the background on the right, just visible, is an unidentifiable mammal strung upside down and bleeding out after having had their throat cut. On the left is a blood soaked, white tiled wall.

A society that excludes fellow nonhuman animals from moral consideration is a society that normalises violence. A society that refuses to rise to a minimum level of moral decency. A society condemned to dehumanise & normalise violence upon fellow humans.

Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and other deep-red states are leading the pack in rural hospital closures. This is what happens when you gut Medicaid, reject federal dollars, and treat healthcare like a luxury.

You can’t blame “woke” when there’s no ER for 100 miles.
