I am shocked even while I am not shocked. Another example of how the orange guy at the top is empowering overt racists/facists and their horrible ideology #USA

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe arrested during Huntington Beach City Council meeting www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

14 US states say Trump illegally appointed Elon Musk to head DOGE and sue Trump. New Mexico and 13 other states sue Trump alleging he has given Musk "unchecked legal authority" without authorization from the U.S. Congress. www.reuters.com/legal/judges...

Someone tried to tell me Taylor Swift is as big as The Beatles... OK so, No.1 hits-wise it's 12 to 20 (so far), #Swifties are kinda like #Beatlemania... but The Beatles revolutionized 4-track recording and had around 100 hit songs that were/are known worldwide. Their influence can't be matched again

Big thank you to @joelanderson.bsky.social and Brian Curtis @thepressbox.bsky.social for talking about the many problems with Trump's attack on the press. It's cathartic to hear two journos whom I respect lay out how terrible it is #Journalism #USA

Drake's antics are silly, sure -- but Kanye literally fomenting hatred is *dangerous* ... So terrible how Meta doesn't bother to ban a massive celebrity (or anyone) for pointing their account toward selling these. Beyond atrocious #ChooseLove #ScrewCapitalism #USA

😂😂😂 So true!

Luka to the #Lakers just ruined my weekend 😅😭 as a fan of the #Kings in my youth and the #Warriors as well now. Compelling trade, what a shocker, but. Nooooooooo #NBA

I love photographing nature. Why? Because it teaches me two things. Patience and being ready at a moment's notice. But it's also nice being lucky. Enjoy! #photography #nature #naturephotography #nikon #photojournalism

The beauty of photographing high school sports. #photography #photojournalism

HEY. HEY. Yes, you. 🫵🏾 DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders. Take a deep breath. It's only day 2. Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall. This is a marathon

Essential read here from @guthriegf.bsky.social about this week's courageous and theologically grounded sermon from Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, featuring @prripoll.bsky.social data: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

"When it comes to the environment, the only things Trump believes in recycling are his own dirty and dangerous ideas,” @tsittenfeld.bsky.social, senior VP of governmental affairs at the League of Conservation Voters, told the @sacramentobee.bsky.social 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 while also 😪😰🥵🤮

My attempts to stay positive on this platform came to an abrupt end with that speech that made crystal clear that this administration is all in to pad Big Oil Billionaire profits at the expense of our air, water, lands, climate, health, pocketbooks, and jobs. www.lcv.org/media-center...

Hell ya, Andruw Jones should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, @harrylyricsbot.bsky.social! Best defensive center fielder who could also rake. My entrance to the MLB was watching the '98 Braves on TBS -- he made some incredible catches

I'm finally making the full move over to BlueSky. I had been still dabbling in Twitter -- never not gonna call it that -- but I'm done. 100 percent done. This is beyond horrible and unacceptable, it is atrocious and disgusting !!! www.wired.com/story/neo-na...

If it looks like a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck), swims like a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck), and quacks like a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck), then it probably is a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck).

To the new president: Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement puts the US with Iran, Libya & Yemen as the only countries in the world outside the 2015 pact to reduce emissions in the face of #climatechange -- which sure is some great company to keep 🙄, ya massive dummy 🤮

Back to healthy, Gary Payton II is ready to leave the Ferrari in the garage and let a Lamborghini be unleashed for the Warriors (via @daltonjohnson.bsky.social)

Always baffled by people who care less about preventing school shootings than "protecting" a 2nd Amendment that's for both personal protection & a right to form militias against the gov't -- when there's 0% chance civilians could overthrow local police forces let alone the military #USA #GunViolence

Let's play a game: Was this said about Blake Lively or Donald Trump... In court "the jury will recognize that even the most powerful celebrity cannot bend the truth to his/her will." #Laughable (which applies to both Jason Baldoni and his metaphoric boss, the Deceiver-in-Chief) #MenInDenial #Ugh

You say it well -- zero understandunt of the conflict or Zionism, *and yet* they say things as if they have complete and total understanding and are 100 percent right about it. Tragically overly confident 😰

"I was drunk while driving and killed the Gaudreau brothers, your honor -- but I'm a really good guy! Oh and did you know I'm a veteran?" Sean Higgins needs to go to jail for vehicular manslaughter x 2, regardless of his ridiculous defense #DrunkDrivingIsWrong #NHL www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

The altogether too familiar reality illuminated by @jillfilipovic.bsky.social piece in @slate.bsky.social about Blake Lively's ordeal:

As soon as I heard Brown was let go, I knew in my bones that it was the choice of Vivek Ranadive. He has shown lack of hoops knowledge and rash impatience before, so who else? #Kangz

"#AllEyesOnGaza" 🙄😰 We need some elsewhere too, y'all. Not to "distract" but to be actually against war in general rather than just one

Erin Molan was fired from Sky News Australia for daring to stand up against terrorism and anti-Semitism. Shame #IStandWithErinMolan youtu.be/3vp_RJIjttY?...

Say what you will about the #Kings' defense lately, but Mike Brown was 107-88 with the team -- that's a whole hell of a lot better than the previous two decades #DelusionsOfGrandeur #NBA #KingsHeadedNowhere #SacramentoKings #916Proud

The one thing I will say about Howard Chan: once at a party he gave me a long rant about how little respect he had for certain councilmembers. He didn’t even know me, we had just met. Quite pleased with how that council just told him to pound sand. www.capradio.org/articles/202...
