Hypothetically, if I decided to stop doing the best-dressed Georgia legislators list, would someone else take the baton? #askingforafriend #gapol

The smoke got me on my knees 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol. Excited to welcome new Georgia House member Ruma Romman to the Capitol! ( @ruwaromman.bsky.social ) Spelling someone's four-letter name wrong is pretty impressive lmao #gapol

I've made Cowboy Carter winning album of the year - and Beyonce's tour announcement - my entire personality for at least today. So if it's not about that, I'm not sure I can hold a conversation with you for a while... #beyonce #cowboycarter #aoty #grammys #cowboycartertour

She deserves this. This album absolutely should have won. AND Renaissance. AND Lemonade. Snubs. But this wasn’t conciliatory. This album was deserving. It truly is her best work, in my humble opinion.

Doechiii is so talented it’s crazy

I just *know* they mad in Nashville. Spite makes some beautiful art and I'm definitely making tomorrow a cowboy carter day.

Working on a Washington Post story about Trump's executive order. I know orgs are vowing to sue, and I believe E.O.s are not immediately enforceable, but I am hoping to talk to some people with X's on their passports. If you would like to talk, please DM me!

The Germans press is not having as much trouble discerning what happened as the American press. www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...

the office of government efficiency has some really inefficient code in its website like, if you read the code, and size your screen *just right*, you see there's a little pixelly dog drawn in the code the code doesn't do anything but take up space and add meme-ness and tech-bro

NYT always finds them.

You have got to admit it is kind of funny that Mark Zuckerberg did all this stuff to curry favor with Trump only for Trump to save TikTok

Breaking news: Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal, in a major breakthrough including the release of Israeli hostages, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations.

Friends, if you take in a stray animal, PLEASE have it scanned for a chip. This is the third time in a week that someone has come into the shelter with an animal that was 'theirs' that was actually chipped and registered to someone else who had been desperately missing that animal for YEARS.

New Buying Power out today! After 15 years of making their stores worse and alienating customers, American retailers are starting to realize that hiring bankers and consultants to run them maybe wasn’t the best idea. 🎁 Gift Link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

An LA organizer I trust shared this General Resource Spreadsheet with me. It includes nonofficial shelters and other resources for people affected by the LA fires.

The LA Times photo desk, which is doing incredible work covering these brutal fires, has set up a Bluesky account that is among the newest ones we have verified. They are well worth following right now. @latimesphotos.bsky.social

Time to share this quick air filter solution for wildfire smoke once again. All you need is a box fan and a home air/furnace filter that you can get at pretty much any hardware store. Optional is some duct tape to get a good seal. Stay safe! #LAFires
