This is Shadow and Ollie. Shadow can be seen here attempting to eat his brother. And based on Ollie's reaction, this is not the first time. 13/10 for both

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Humans are one of the top 5 intelligent species. So, we decided to build AI, because we're also in the top 5 dumbest species.

This northern boy wonders how I ever survived a Wichita summer. 92/72 seems hellish now. Much prefer a calm winter day at -5F.

This is how the country I grew up in deals with fascists. Way to go, Bell, CA.

Not often that we get well defined lone supercells like this in Wisconsin. This one dropped golf ball sized hail one it's 150 mile track.

If there's that amount of VIL over the maximum, it'll be interesting to see if there's any ground truth measurements.

#NoKings turned out 350 people in a rural red Wisconsin county in Amery, a town of less than 3000.

The Big Billionaire Bill is a disgrace to every American. The billionaire class is no longer and hasn't been for a long time, American. I'm not willingly sending them my money while people I love lose what they've paid. Kill it. Stupid.

Heabeus Corpus is not for sale. You can not kill or disappear people without oversight by justice. Fuck you Stephen Miller.

I love the internet

@repjasmine.bsky.social should be president, with @sanders.senate.gov majority leader, and @aoc.bsky.social Speaker. Progressives will fix this crap.

What a wonderful video from Cole Vaughn in tribute to all of the many NOAA staff leaving federal service this week. To all of my colleagues, thank you for your service, and I hope you are as proud of NOAA and our work as I am. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si-R...

The start to something not good.

I hope all radiosondes get to be sent up for the next five days.

Amplifying the @nws.noaa.gov severe weather message for Eastern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin on Monday. Do not take it lightly. This is an unprecedented dangerous situation for our area. Be aware and have a safety plan for tornadoes. #mnwx #wiwx.

The state of our nation today is a good example of why, after Trump committed crimes against America, such as January 6th, he should have been held without bail or communication. Yet here we are.

Seriously...we need to make a bigger deal out of stories like this. We need more good news. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...

Lewisburg, PA is small but mighty! #HandsOff @50501movement.bsky.social

About 30 folks turned out on a chilly day in rural Wisconsin to make our voices heard. Honks and waves far outnumbered the few assholes.

Thunderstorms, nothing severe. A much needed soaking rain. Oak leaves falling, so spring is here.

Time's up. Our actions in the next few weeks will determine if we live in Nazi America or not. Trump has put a target on all of our backs. Why should MAGA "own the libs" when they can simply disappear anyone they disagree with as a terrorist?

I feel like We The People could make a better collective decision than all three branches at this point.

WSJ: The pause is a partial reprieve, but hardly end to tariff mayhem. For one thing the Adm can’t get its story straight. Mr. Trump’s pause came not long after Bessent told bankers the economy is “in pretty good shape.” He dismissed the bond rout as normal trading. But then why the tariff pause?
