Wow the Dutch go...extremely hard

A billion sprinklers just so summer can cosplay as spring.

@chucktingle.bsky.social is coming to Seattle! we are prancing with excitement!

Good morning !

Hey, reporters, using Shien and Temu as an example of how awful the tariffs are isn't the way. Shien and Temu are awful, them dying would be good. Use screws, lightbulbs, raw materials, construction materials, pharma etc..... things that we all need.

Since they are mother and son, Mamas and the Pawpaws?

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

Two brown tabby cats, one with a nice cow patch of white, snuggled together on a brown pillow, vintage wooden tool case behind them. All tabby is in the foreground, tail tucked around his paws, Mona Lisa smile on his face. Second kitty's eyes have drifted nearly shut.

Their first album cover?

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

It should horrify you that it took a major media organization publishing a full investigation into the forced disappearance of a Venezuelan man for DHS to admit where it sent him and what his current location is.

Instagram post explaining that cutting down all the trees in the national forests will prevent fires, which is not true

Forest Service going full propaganda on Instagram. And the narrator’s voice is incredibly disturbing for some reason - just reeks of “lying white man” www.instagram.com/reel/DIyvuNl...

U.S. citizen wrongly detained by Border Patrol says government account is false Jose Hermosillo was held in a detention facility for undocumented immigrants for 10 days. In his first media interview, he tells his story.

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days

The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally.

I interviewed Hermosillo.

He says the government is lying.

We need to talk about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on autism. He said: “These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

There we go. Support this man.

The Brits are savage 🔥

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Scientists identify specific cognitive skill linked to longer life in older adults Researchers have discovered that a specific cognitive skill—verbal fluency—can predict survival in old age better than other mental abilities.

I've read autists tend to shorter lifespans.
I'd thought the interestingness of this life a more than fair trade.
Then this:

"People who could quickly name animals or words beginning with a specific letter tended to live significantly longer"!

Oh baby.

all the lightning strikes in the Seattle area in the past five minutes! I have one neighbor laughing hysterically at every strike. And a child nearby screaming at every strike. The duality of man

Lightning strikes over the Seattle skyline and Space Needle.

Lighting over Seattle tonight

Two brown tabby and white kitties facing each other, snuggled together into a ball, actually hugging. Magnificently, stunningly sweet.

I mean really...

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Smashing! Here we go with „She's A Rainbow“, using a little #Bluesky and a wonderful parhelion. If you insist, I can also come up with a real rainbow.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

People just need to assume that all those things are always listening to everything you say, you can’t trust any of these companies

Over and over again, we don't have to live in the twisted system in which we're currently soaking. Enshitification has been a factor for a very long time.
