Absolutely fabulous. “What does a landscape sound like when it’s not being listened to? This philosophical question was a catalyst for film-maker and artist Joshua Bonnetta, who has distilled a year of recordings from a single tree in upstate New York… into a four-hour album, The Pines.”

If you have some extra dollars you can part with: US veterans delivering individual first aid kits to help save Ukraine's wounded soldiers.

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” - Hannah Arendt

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Was still enough in the backyard sun that a robin landed just feet from me &, with a head cocked to the ground, snatched three worms in quick succession. Tiny natural wonders so much in need after reading Der Spiegel’s account of finding Mike Waltz’s passwords among hacked customer data on the web.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs IS the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Today is World Poetry Day. Despite russian efforts to persecute Ukrainian poets and smite their work into oblivion, it lives on. Listen to UNITED24 Ambassadors reading "Love Ukraine" by Volodymyr Sosiura and tell us about your favorite Ukrainian poem in the comments👇

Holy shit: “The study highlighted a common trend among these AI models: rather than declining to respond when they lacked reliable information, the models frequently provided confabulations—plausible-sounding incorrect or speculative answers.”

if only we hadn’t called them fascists when they made their intentions clear over the last decade and a half and had just waited til now when those intentions are finally being realized, the sheer power of that word against them would surely make them stop building concentration camps

I don’t know, WaPo, this sounds awfully anti-“personal liberty” to me.

The Republican Party is destroying the republic at flank speed. That said, the leadership of the Democratic Party needs to be punched in the face repeatedly. And then, for good measure, kicked in such a place as to remind them where their balls once used to abide.

Nice to have an “in their own words” feature with fired IGs explaining what they do, tax dollars they save us, etc. As one of them says, they haven’t heard much from Congress. Let’s get with it, @democrats.senate.gov and @housedemocrats.bsky.social. Fewer pink outfits, more outrage.

How hard would it be to ask "Why do you insist that foreign nations pay tariffs when it’s simply not true? That’s not how tariffs work. Domestic importers pay the tariffs – and typically pass along the added costs to American consumers. Do you not understand that?" presswatchers.org/2025/02/the-...

Absolutely outrageous. "CIA Director John Ratcliffe… said the pauses would 'go away' once it was clear Zelensky was committed to peace.”
