Air iron batteries are perfect for grid support and iron is everywhere. No conflict minerals. Minimal chance of fire that can’t be stopped.

A better future is possible.

This is a graph of the death of US science.

Pic of Aziz near his collapsed tent. He looks crestfallen.

Pic of Aziz and his mother gathering the collapsed tent. Israel has again enforced the blockade. Please help.

Picture of the tent befire the collapse. It already looks bad and it's no wonder it didn't hold up.

We urgently need a tent. We no longer have any shelter and have ended up in the street after our tent was torn and collapsed.
This was the tent that used to protect us and give us shelter.
Please don’t leave us alone. Help us in any way you can.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Bluesky has as much bad news as X but over here, we're against it

Post 9/11 taught me how dumb it was for Democrats to try and seem like the “strong” party and march to the war drums. Thousands of people died because the party was weak shit against murderous Bush.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

CBP & Border Patrol agents arrested. (2024-2025) Is it any wonder why these agents believe they are above the law when their chiefs are so blatantly corrupt?

"As the page mentions, these arrests do not represent all arrests but only those self-reported by employees. Whether the actual number of CBP and Border Patrol employee arrests are slightly or significantly higher, they are at least not any lower than the numbers reported by CBP."

Wise words from @adapalmer.bsky.social

Contemporary 17th century reader inserting a short biography of Philip Pinson of Tuam in Sir James Ware's 'Catalogue of the Archbishops of Cashel & Tuam'. The author omitted Pinson from the list of archbishops, although the prelate only held the post for three days!

Always fascinated by the way contemporary #earlymodern scholars engaged with other works of interest.

Here is one knowledgeable #17thc reader inserting a bio of Philip Pinson (archbishop of Tuam for three days!) whom the author omitted: Ware's catalogue of the archbishops of Cashel and Tuam (1626)

It's all the same guy, over and over.

Title: "Unprepared for a Regrettable Luncheon! (With apologies to Kelly)" In the visual style of famed The Onion cartoonist Stan Kelly, Superintendent Chalmers is having lunch with Principal Skinner, who is menacingly placing a tray of hamburgers and fries upon the table, which greatly upsets Chalmers. Beneath one of the hamburgers is a wrapper bearing the text "Obviously grilled fast food". Chalmers [labelled as "Disappointed guests"]: "B-but... I thought we were having steamed CLAMS!!" Skinner [labelled as "Isometric exercising* odd fellows" - the asterisk refers to a footnote reading "Latest fad"]: "Oh, no, I made STEAMED HAMS™®! ©1996 Skinner family All rights reserved" From within the clouds of smoke billowing from Skinner's kitchen (wherein an American flag can be seen burning) three heavenly beings gaze upon the scene disapprovingly: A pig labelled "Actual hams", Krusty the clown, labelled "Hard-working patent-holders", and a teenaged fry-cook labelled "Ignored sandwich artists". Lady Liberty peeks in the door and sheds a sad tear at this woeful scene. Kelly's obligatory artist cameo has him disgruntledly commenting "Seymour-a bore-e-malice."

Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic

(Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes)

This is like how if you take out a knight, you're taking out all the knights they knighted. Gotta get the Head Knight.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff today released the following statement. "Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program. "Now Trump says he's taken America to war for regime change in Iran. "Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. "I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. "The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have 'obliterated' — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran's support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm's way should only ever be a last resort. "I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism."

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

Let's twist again like we did last summer!

In all my decades of thrift shops and used bookstores, I've seen a couple hundred copies of THE BEST OF HT WEBSTER, and exactly Zero of any of his other titles. (Book Club!)

A bit on Rocko's Modern Life bit where there's a price on Rocko's head, and roommate Hef is his last confidante. When Hef's alone, a demon appears on his shoulder. "You could have a lot of fun with $1000! Turn him in!" Just then his angel appears. "You could feed the hungry with $1000! Turn him in!"

"We'll give him a shiny hunk of gold with his name on it and he'll give us the launch codes."

For authoritarians, the highest virtue is obedience to authority. The authority determines what is true or false and what is right or wrong and the followers accept his words as their laws.

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.

The final added insult was learning within a year of his leaving office, that Biden could've simply declassified and released ALL the Epstein material and in one fell swoop prevented so much of this.

Speeding is "illegal." This war on (not with) Iran is criminal. Among the litany of crimes against humanity perpetrated by the MAGA Murder Regime.

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.

His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."
