When the funding model of a public broadcaster is allowed to decay while global platforms dominate the information space, the damage goes beyond television. A weakened BBC means a weakened public sphere, where accountability, independent journalism, and shared civic trust slowly erode.

I usually think of myself as too sophisticated 🙄 to post something like this, but dayum 😂😂😂

How has Tim Sheehy not yet been arrested for assault and hauled away as the deranged violent thug that we all saw brutalizing a marine veteran in the senate today?

it’s even in Algiers now.

did he say, “fixin’ ta”?

This stunning woodblock print, created circa 1930 by Narazaki Eishō, offers a vertically oriented composition that captures a quiet nocturnal moment. The artwork features a large, brown-feathered owl with striking yellow eyes perched on a thick, dark tree limb that curves upward from the bottom right. The owl’s head is turned toward the viewer, its feathers detailed with soft, textured strokes. Surrounding the bird is a "radiant" display of pale white cherry blossoms, their delicate forms standing out against a muted, dusty blue twilight sky. Below the branch, the scene reveals a dark, silhouetted forest line bordering a body of water. The water reflects a shimmering, golden "luminous" light, likely from a moon hidden from view, which creates a rhythmic pattern of highlights across the ripples. The balance between the solid, dark form of the tree and the ethereal beauty of the blossoms and water reflections exemplifies the mastery of early 20th-century Japanese printmaking.

Japanese woodblock print titled "Owl and Cherry" , created circa 1930. It is the work of artist Narazaki Eisho (1864–1936), who also produced art under the pseudonyms Fuyo, Kyokudo, and Shinjo.

GOP senator joins police in ejecting anti-war protester from Capitol Hill hearing A Senate Republican assisted several police officers in ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran.

this is literally right wing propaganda. cbs news cannot be trusted.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Republican candidate charged with assault after 'body-slamming' Guardian reporter Audio of Greg Gianforte attacking Ben Jacobs corroborated by Fox News journalists in the room, who described candidate ‘slamming him to the ground’

Jesus Christ. Not surprising behavior from a Montana politician. Our governor, Greg Gianforte, was charged with assault after body slamming a reporter from The Guardian for asking about healthcare.

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

WHOA. Camp East Montana in El Paso opened in August and quickly became the deadliest ICE facility, with infamously terrible conditions.

Now ICE is closing it, just as they plan to open up a detention camp nearly three times larger in a converted warehouse just outside El Paso.

Cutesy, popular question on bsky “What did your Grandpas do for a living?”

Me: Fuck if I know.

where is that rashy orange fuckface? been laying low lately, hasn’t he?

Reminder that we don't live in Starship Troopers. Being a veteran of an illegal war doesn't mean you're a better candidate than say a school teacher or unemployed artist. Please stop voting for someone just because they "served."

ICE confirms a measles outbreak in the nation's largest detention facility in Texas The agency said it's closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with public health authorities while the facility has been closed to visitors and attorneys.

so let me get this straight: the USA reduces vaccination rates below herd-immunity levels, confines a population of "undesirables" in concentration camps, then unleashes a deadly virus on them...

yeah that checks out. history is rhyming in a country founded on disease-driven genocide

Waffle House doing more to fight white nationalist loons than Congress or the US Capitol police ever has.

😂😭

The House voted 357 - 65 to block the release of Congressional sexual misconduct reports.

182 Democrats & 175 Republicans voted to shield their misconduct from the public.

They want the Epstein files released but not the files on themselves released.

The entire system must go!

It hurts to imagine what our democracy would be like without all the voter suppression, and if it didn’t take 67 Californians to equal the senate voting power of 1 Wyomian, and if we didn’t have billions of dark money pouring into the propaganda hellscape, and if we had no gerrymandering. Sad.

Im just so fucking mad that the good part of my life is ruined by a fascist fucking government and morons who think it’s cute

Cheng and Eng!

It is, but the trick is getting there before they close because they close so early.

swear to god my mom was once engaged to peabo bryson
