Not one single Ukranian f’d up and posted it on SIgnal.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Interview with Adam Becker - author and astrophysicist - he convincingly debunks Silicon Valley propaganda. Worth listening to more than once! twit.tv/shows/intell...

Another good one from Facebook.

i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

The U.S. trade deficit didn’t fit the law’s definition of an unusual and extraordinary threat. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

National Public Radio filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Trump administration on Tuesday, alleging that President Trump’s attempt to defund NPR is a “clear violation of the Constitution.”

Now there's a good question.

Voting for a politician that uses their elected position to stay out of jail does not seem to be a good strategy - if one believes in good governance. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump reduced British auto tariffs to benefit luxury carmakers like Rolls Royce. Meanwhile, the costs of essential goods like strollers, medications, and clothing are skyrocketing. So the rest of America has to go without but he's happy to help his rich friends buy luxury cars?

AND THEN THEY MADE A CARING AND EMPATHETIC GUY THE POPE!! VERY BAD!! VERY UNFAIR!!

People are missing the point Trump isn’t looking to make a deal that has never been the goal of Project 2025. We need to look for new trading partners instead of wasting time trying to achieve that which cannot be achieved.

Doug Ford has failed miserably to protect Ontario from a surge of #measles. The premier campaigned on a promise to “Protect Ontario,” but his government has not kept that pledge on a pressing matter of public health, by @reggcohn.bsky.social www.thestar.com/politics/pol... via @thestar.com

The return of #measles is an outbreak of failure. Ontario alone has the biggest measles outbreak in North America, 1,383 cases. Per capita, that's 21X worse than the U.S.: Globe and Mail editorial www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... via @theglobeandmail.com #vaccination

Rewatching season 1 of "The Last of Us." Pedro Pascal is great as is Bella Ramsey. She impresses with the rich character she creates. I very much enjoyed the episode with Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett (Long, Long Time). Offerman's acting was superlative. The writing is also very, very good.
