Byron Buxton is second in f-WAR (2.9) among all AL outfielders and tied for 14th among all players in MLB. He's doing it all for the #MNTwins. www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Immigration is good, actually.

Join us on May 13th for a co-sponsored webinar with AFS-USA, "Viewing Values from Multiple Perspectives." This timely webinar is sure to be a great learning opportunity for all. For more information and to register, please go to www.csctfl.org/new-w...

The real perpetrator of Tesla vandalism 🤣

The world needs more Star Wars jokes like this 🤣

Star Wars giveaway! 💫 I have one copy of the Beyond Victory comic that was only available at the show -- signed by writer Ethan Sacks! Just repost this by the end of Tuesday, April 22, 2025, and I'll pick a name at random and send it by mail.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

So happy that two of my favorite podcasters are back in action. Another reason to look forward to the return of The Last of Us!

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

I graduated from Franklin HS in WC. This is also a district that had a “World History” teacher in the 80s who proclaimed on the first day of class, “I don’t know beans about world history.” Some things haven’t changed in the last 35 years, except now more students will remain ignorant, thanks to MFL

Good morning and happy Trans Day of Visibility! To start off your week, here is a collection of a few of the main trans stories of the week.

🏳️‍⚧️Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and visibility of transgender individuals across the galaxy. In every corner of the universe, diverse identities shine brightly, and we stand together in solidarity with the transgender community. #TransDayOfVisibility #Wookieepedia

I feel seen

Love that Gail’s auto correct seems to have changed Garfunkel & Simon to Simone. She must have been thinking of the classic Garfunkel and Simone song, “You’re so Vain” when that happened

Wild that EM keeps calling Social Security the biggest Ponzi scheme in history when the US health insurance industry is right there.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Years ago, I got rid of old #StarTrek books that I hadn’t looked at for years. Later, I realized that my signed Trek photos were in one of the books. I spent a lot of time looking for them in other books, boxes, etc and never found them. Today, I opened a different book and the pictures were there!

Wondering what happened to my favorite podcast, #TrialByContent? I miss hearing @da7e.bsky.social @jowrotethis.bsky.social and Neil talking pop culture each week. Now more than ever

This man continues to be a national treasure. Also, I like the return of the no beard look!

Quickly becoming apparent to me why Shane Gillis was fired from SNL before his first episode as a cast member. This dude is not funny

No. Just no.

Every week for the next 194 weeks. We can do it.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Important read if you need to get remotivated today.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

The noise level in current news is absurdly high, deliberately so, filled with absurdities designed to distract. Don’t lose sight of the fact that unelected oligarchs are actively and illegally seizing control of the Federal government, including the Treasury department and Social Security.

“Musk was widely seen as operating with a level of autonomy that almost no-one can control.” When your elected officials can’t control your oligarchs… congratulations, you’re now Russia.

We just published a 3,000 word feature on Elon Musk's incursion into the federal government. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.
