Relaxing listening to James Taylor.

Rainy day record on deck:

Ok, things are serious, Trump sent Barron to the podiatrist.

Same here.

Please. Get rid of the Orange Scourge.

I own a lot of nerdy things. But friends, this is the nerdiest. #statistics #statsky

Correction: They don't have regrets, they're just saying they have regrets. Had they bothered to read the thing before they voted, they still would have voted for it, because they were told to vote for it, and independent acting and thinking is not a GOP trait. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Huh! He knew there is an exact full scale replica of the Parthenon in Nashville. I was reading about how the real Parthenon was severely damaged in September 26, 1687, during a Venetian bombardment of Athens. There was a side note regarding the replica. www.nashvilleparthenon.com

Finally found time to watch the first two Murderbot episodes and they were everything I was hoping for. If you're a fan of the Murderbot series by @marthawells.com be sure to add this to your watch list. So good. tv.apple.com/us/show/murd...

Murderbot adaption of @marthawells.com book(s) is awesome!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Reminder that when you see an obvious troll/bot/chud in my comments, just let them be. They want you to engage. Don't. I'll be along to expunge them in due time. In the meantime, let them marinate in their own shittiness, don't volunteer to scoop it up and baste yourself with it.

Always an enjoyable read morningporridge.com

Chuckle - agreed.

A 31-year old unvaccinated man has just died from measles in Chihuahua, Mexico. His infection is reported to be related to the Texas outbreak. Four unvaccinated people have died in this measles outbreak so far. The only thing that prevents measles is the MMR vaccine.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

Great opportunity. Help BlueSky continue to embody what Twitter should have always aspired to.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

This is a friendly reminder that library cards are free, and your local public library will never make you pay extra so you don't have to watch ads.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
