Welcome to another installment of dogs that remind me of character actors. Today we meet Scott Caan dog

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

He was too Black for the moment.

Exit poll from Germany. It’s bad but could have been a lot worse.

Melissa Harris-Perry. Tiffany Cross. Alex Wagner. Joy Reid. I'm sure there's a pattern here but I can't quite put my finger on what it could be. (/s)

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Bong Joon Ho: ‘I wish I had Ken Loach’s energy, but I’m just thinking about nap time’

"'We’re bringing attention to what’s happening to the parks, which are every American’s properties,' said Gavin Carpenter, a maintenance mechanic with Yosemite and military veteran who supplied the flag and helped hang it." www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

I told OPM what I did last week

Thank you for sharing. To anyone seeing this post, please take the time to read this. It's well worth your time.

I rarely am this direct, but this seems an excellent time. Name one civil rights movement that was borne on the backs of the wealthy. Where the voices at the front were privileged people who would have been safer staying out. No? That's because it has *always* fallen to those with something to lose.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

👇🏽more of this please. stop bowing to this racist billionaire.

TRAINSPOTTING was released 29 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great British movies and a generation-defining piece of pop culture, the behind the scenes story is as lacking in moral fibre as you’d probably expect… 1/44

This is an article that prefigures very accurately what we will be reading about American (and American based) scientists in about ten months. The collapse of the top scientific research network in the world. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Very interesting reporting here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

#Caturday vibes.

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, convinces the decades-younger mother of his latest child that he is too vulnerable to legally claim the child as his own

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

Gavin Ashenden, a former BBC podcaster who these days is an occasional guest and writer for a number of mainstream British media outlets, performed a Nazi salute on Friday in unison with his fellow hosts of the "Catholic Unscripted" podcast in the UK. They say: "Our hearts go out to you."

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

We are going to see lots of kids in Middle and High schools doing Nazi salutes in the coming months and I do not know how society can respond to this and survive without completely destroying the GOP root to stem

ICYMI- I’m proud to announce my campaign for the Florida Senate, District 16. I’ve dedicated my life to protecting the civil rights of every Floridian as an attorney and community leader. In the Senate, I’ll continue to fight for every Floridian. Join us: www. micheleforflorida.com

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Detente in the #Caturday library.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Gen-X knows 🤣

Trump is doing things that are unpopular and hurt Americans because he knows there won’t be any more elections. He believes he is untouchable.

Elon Musk’s monopoly on space is alarming internet advocates and astronomers | The Independent search.app/EL3TkfdpMFz4... The world’s richest person now controls two-thirds of all active satellites through his space internet network Starlink.

America knew Trump was a snake before we took him back in search.app/5PeRSAJenRCQ...

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

We entering the most dangerous year in most of our lifetimes.

American billionaires are raining shit across the world: Debris from Blue Origin and SpaceX rockets found in Bahamas and Europe edition.cnn.com/2025/02/21/s...

"In Norway, Tesla saw a 38% sales slump, in France sales dropped by 63%, and in Spain by 75%. Tesla sales dropped 13% across the whole European Union last year and are expected to fall further... Tesla registered only 1,277 new cars in Germany in January, a year-on-year drop of 59.5%."

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire
