If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

Just checking what the standards are these days.

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become.

Perception of reality is now random and optional.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

One of my prints “And now we’ll abseil down the other side” Shows a mountain that’s actually a monster with abseilers on top of it.

Yesterday my etsy shop had preciously one view. (And i think that was probably me) If you like my stuff please repost. An eccentric millionaire with lots of empty wall space could be scrolling your timeline right now. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/listing/1579...

Brilliant book! Still remember it and I probably read it 20 years ago+ ago.

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

Thank you for sharing. So helpful to see this.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

They missed a trick with not having a mini type folio for the Move.

I don’t keep many defunct tech but still have my Psion.

The sound of 4:30am - at least it was where we awoke 😁

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared. One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.

And now for something completely different..

Adolf Hitler at 50: Color Photos From a Despot's Birthday, April 1939 Color pictures from the celebrations that marked Hitler's 50th birthday in 1939, and the gaudy gifts bestowed by peers and sycophants.

Just a reminder of history. No specific reason why I'm posting this before this weekend.
