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.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Say hello to our eight new meerkat kits! Moms Keeya and Naledi recently welcomed litters of four each, and they’re adorable. 😍 Keeya’s curious little explorers are starting to pop out in the Kids’ Zone meerkat habitat, while Naledi’s crew is still snuggled up behind the scenes.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

The Social Security website continues to experience frequent crashes as Musk pushes for cuts to the agency’s IT staff. Americans face chronic outages and login issues while trying to access their accounts—despite being urged to conduct more of their Social Security business online.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

I know there are strong feelings around JK Rowling, but every time I dust my bookshelf, I'm still mad that I can not buy the book trunk for the hardbacks as a stand alone. First world problems, I know when US economy is tanking.

Really regretting the US education system for not making learning a second language mandatory. It is just optional. But won't be an issue soon as all ESL programs are getting shut down and schools get gutted 😞

It's unfortunate that this needs to be said, but to stay alive, listen to scientific consensus (on health, climate, environment, etc.) and ignore the conspiracy theorists.

The incompetence of this Administration never ceases to amaze. Waltz and other NSC members used Gmail to conduct official government business, with Waltz’s staff even sharing information about sensitive military positions and advanced weapon systems tied to an ongoing conflict.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.
