the fossil fuel bribe that just keeps on giving to the rich….taking from the poor.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Sunken into solid rock, a woman with wavy golden blonde hair lies with her arms spread and stares up at the sky. Her plain white t-shirt rides up to expose a hint of midriff. One knee is slightly raised, and a shadow falls across her thin, drab green sweatpants. The rock enveloping her shows some cracking and pebbling but is mostly worn smooth. A ridge of mountains runs just beyond forming a rim, tan against the gray rock in which she is situated. Past that more barren land leads to a stretch of mountain that climbs left to right with the visible break of a valley cut through before resuming in a long half dome. The panoramic view eventually gives way to soft blue skies.

THE DREAMING LANDS (2002)
Oil on Canvas - 20” X 30”

This painting is one of several works derived from my experiences at MSKCC in 2000.

That year I read a couple of books which mentioned a feeling I have experienced at night during camping trips... 1/4

Watercolor with abstracted flower petals in bright, swirling pinks, oranges and yellows, and cooler colors around the sides.

I’m working on a series of abstract pieces based on California poppies through the seasons. This is a test run in my sketchbook for Summer. #Watercolor #WIP #ArtYear

A new documentary on Selena’s rise to fame hit Netflix this week. And for the first time, a Nueces County autopsy report performed just three hours after her death has surfaced. bit.ly/4onHwb1

Speaking of hydrothermal vents, check out these Pompeii worms! If you like vents, worms, & bacteria I highly recommend this entire expedition. Hands down the GOAT of expeditions for me. From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 607 part 2 #mappinggalapagosvents #MarineLife

He's telling ICE GOONS to leave, and Tells them "he wants the smoke to pull him over"

It’s official!

I just filed to run for the US Senate.

It’s time to take power back for working people.

In a world where Trump punches down, be like Pope Leo and lift people up.

Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

The end result of hours of fiddling and cleaning heads, pinch rollers, potentiometers, replacing dead transistors. The sound is incredible. Hope Bluesky doesn't garble up the audio with compression.

“the clarity of uranus” — NASA (2025)

It looks like Lindsey Halligan misled a grand jury, prosecutorial conduct equivalent to committing perjury, in order to manufacture an indictment against James Comey for…

wait for it…

perjury.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jay Lane (Dead & Co., Primus), Michael Travis (String Cheese Incident) and David Phipps (STS9) at Moes Alley in Santa Cruz last night.

Millenials.

Accurate.

It’s so hard to care about any news other than CBP. It’s like nothing else really matters.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

This is some real disgusting shit

ATTENTION: white women 🙌🏼

‼️ Mexico's first woman president, Claudia Sheinbaum, just announced she's pressing charges after being groped in the street:

“If they do this to the president, what happens to all the women in our country?”

LEVI'S - THE STRANGER (1971): This psychedelic Levi jeans advert is a beautifully animated work of art (rotoscoping in action!). Spoken word jazz legend Ken Nordine provides the cool voiceover.
