This whole thread/transcript relaying was surprisingly satisfying to read.

Seattle is still mostly daffodils, but I'm starting to see a few early tulips. #photography #nature #flowers #spring #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport

Heavy rains pushed the daffodil heads downward, but it didn't stop their beauty. So thankful for the rain #flowerReport #bloomscrolling #gardensky

“Sweet peas were the kind of flowers fairies slept in.” ~ Allison Pearson Right? And that scent! What's blooming in your garden, Sweet Peas? 🌱 #FlowerReport 🌼 #GardeningZone10a ☀️ #Bloomscrolling 🐝 #SweetPeas 🌺

On a day like today, the #FlowerReport feed might help. It's good for existential angst. Slow that mind down. Remember that there is beauty in life, no matter what else is going on. Breathe. Pass it on. bsky.app/profile/did:...

April 3, 2025 Good morning from Hereford, England. #Nature #Bloomscrolling #Flowers 🌱 📷

In these fighting times These times of utter madness, chaos and fear When your mind won't stop, and your heart breaks slowly Protect your tenderness.... #mentalhealth #community #writing #photography #nature #humannature #bloomscrolling

So very tired: doomscrolling So very inspired: #Bloomscrolling The violets survived a spring snowstorm and still are a huge amount of joy in a tiny 2 inch package. Great Basin Violet, or Beckwith's violet, or Sagebrush Pansy (Viola beckwithii) 🌿

It’s so important to know what your values are right now. Have more than a good guess about what they might be. Have a plan to defend them.

Oh so they get kicked in the stocks they move in HOURS

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

Eugene Robinson is leaving the Washington Post after 45 years following Jeff Bezos' "significant shift" to the paper's opinion section

Incidentally, since almost all the physical books from major publishers in the US are printed in China, that probably just increased the price by 50%, which massively lowers sales and means publishers will do much smaller print runs.

If we're fighting tooth and nail for food and shelter, then these 🤬 figure that We the People will be too weak and defeated to fight them. They really don't read. Instead of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, they should have been reading history. And a lot of it. This is not going to end well for them.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

Tough language from JPMorgan tonight: “.. we view the full implementation of these policies as a substantial macro economic shock not currently incorporated in our forecasts. .. these policies, if sustained, would likely push the US and global economy into recession this year.”

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day. These are already death camps. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n... english.elpais.com/usa/2025-04-...

Comrades, it's ok to take delight in an outcome that you played a small role in ensuring. Some joy doesn't mean that you are ignoring the terrible. It means that you might have a better chance of surviving the terrible and remaining committed to bringing about some good. Have a good day.

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

Reminder that Congress can stop this shitshow anytime they want.

Today, a study suggests that the shingles vaccine—the current one—makes you less likely to get dementia. In surprisingly notable ways. Can’t vouch for it. At all. But consider getting it. Especially if you’ve had chicken pox. I did in the last few months. It takes two appointments.

Let’s make…roasted tomato chilli chicken soup. An onion, 4 large tomatoes, a glug of white wine, chicken carcass, seasoning, chilli to taste. In the oven for about 90 minutes, blend the veg, I’ve added a little cream, season again if needed, dice the chicken. #goodfood 🍽️ 🍜

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

Most strikeouts by Phillies pitching through first 5 games of the season: 1. 2025 - 66 🔥 2. 2024 - 57 3. 2021 - 53 4. 1998 - 49 5. 2019 - 48

Edmundo Sosa has 9 hits in his first 15 ABs of the season. This one gives the Phillies a 5-1 lead.

If anyone needs a fun break from <gestures at the world>, may I recommend the @overduepod.bsky.social episode on Choose Your Own Adventure's 1984 bk "SUPERCOMPUTER"? A chatty romp through an absurd set of choices, a surprisingly non-HAL lead, & somehow ZERO (?!) female side characters. #BookSky 📚💙

Oh, this is gonna make the rounds. 🤡 #PenguinTariff 🐧

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

What's the German word for that feeling after you make a joke, your male colleague laughs, and then explains why it was funny to you. As if you didn't understand that you just made a joke. As if he doesn't believe you could be funny and must have made the joke accidentally.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
