This is in fact a perfect cartoon

Looks like Democrats are out-voting Republicans in both the TX and NC Senate primaries

still missing a lot of votes in Texas (and esp from Dallas, where they might make a difference)

Could someone please reset the "Hours without an embarrassing DOJ filing" clock to 0?

Some work PR folks rediscovering the Streisand effect in real time today.

Watching Noemi hearing rerun on CSPAN. Grassley opening with total defense of DHS, so Rs don't care about Americans being kidnapped or killed by ICE.

Excited to announce that I’m now The Letter O in The New Yorker. I’ve done it already on Jeopardy! but that was a much easier gig (silent O)

No Democrat should vote for a single penny of a military appropriation for the Iran War until they first get to vote on a Declaration of War.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

This is a great awards program for science communication. Enter now (before April 3) and/or please encourage others to do so. Categories include researchers (early, mid- & late career), journalists, independent & institutional. From @nationalacademies.org & @schmidtsciences.bsky.social

It is deeply annoying how extremely well this works for me.

whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

If, like me, the #TrollClouds have ruined your #LunarEclipse experience, which has now commenced - tune into Griffith Observatory's live feed.

The music is great!

Not bad.

"ngmi" is short for "nigiri me." not many people know this

Having a virulently misogynistic Christian fundamentalist, end times accelerator, alcoholic former Fox host as Secretary of Defence seems like a pretty terrible idea!

John Brunner would be laughing his socks off.

... and that the key characters were the secondary ones : Mollari and G'Kar.

@clairewillett.bsky.social Babylon5 is my favorite sci-fi show. I own the DVDs, bought the series on Prime, have watched it through 3-4 times. But it was during my 2nd run through that I realized how the entire series had been designed from scratch

Post from @clairewillett.bsky.social that reads "Alice and I are working our way through Babylon 5 on our weekly date nights and I'm wildly delighted by Ivanova's rabbi uncle played by Theodore Bikel who is now attempting to determine which alien foods are kosher"

How is it just now occurring to me that Ivanova and Worf are cousins?

A truly large green grape in my hand

My husband is doing his colonoscopy prep, so I told him I was going to keep eating these giant grapes until I get solidarity diarrhea.

He’s kind of half-right here: crypto and gambling are part of the toxic bro culture that feeds young men’s sense of alienation that pushes them right. I don’t know if Democrats embracing those things would help!

Americans urged to leave Middle East, but many airports are closed and embassy staff is reduced The State Department ordered the mandatory departure of non-emergency personnel and family members in six countries after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was struck by two Iranian drones.

It’s so American to be like you should return home via your bootstraps

Trans Kansans are Right to Distrust Federal Courts Transgender Kansans are challenging a new discriminatory law in state court, refusing to leave their freedom up to an untrustworthy federal judiciary.

Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters

And they're arguing on state law grounds alone

Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted

At some point we will have a conversation about the bogus claim that running a financially successful company equips you for leadership more broadly.
