A herd of elephants in South Africa came across a broken down truck full of oranges.. 😅

We took off Bunsen’s harness and Ginger played in it for 5 minutes, rolling and biting it. Why? Well Science has some ideas: 1. Scent Marking - this smells like dog I MUST make it smell like me!

Having to lay down between all my taxes. I’ve never been so morally angry about giving this piece of shit regime my money

this thing is going to sell so much better than it would have, simply because it is so clearly the anti-Cybertruck

MAGA screeches about violence against Tesla cars, but cheered for Elon Musk bringing his 4 year-old child to watch actual physical violence at 10:00 at night. 🙄

2% of addresses control roughly 92% of Bitcoin. That's what a financial oligarchy looks like.

Inside a bomb shelter for schoolchildren, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Scott Pelley. The school is mourning after a Russian missile killed nine children on a playground. Tonight on 60 Minutes.

There’s zero chance Donald Trump wrote this.

The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

There is a 0.000% chance he wrote this one.

I am full sorry That he approves the common liar

Why, thou picture of what thou seemest, and idol of idiot-worshippers

RIP Michael Brewer. I opened for Brewer and Shipley in 1966 at the Vanguard in Kansas City. Their two-part harmonies are as satisfying at the Everlys. open.spotify.com/track/2kpszI...

Things are getting so stupid so quickly I’m having trouble catching up

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

Doge not saving you money

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

I love both them

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

There's a lighthouse in Iceland that sits on the highest of three rocks six miles off the Icelandic coastline, built in 1939 on top of an extremely steep and dangerous rocky cliff. It's the Þrídrangar lighthouse.

During a speech earlier this week, Trump's Secretary of Education Linda McMahon kept referring to "artificial intelligence" as "A1" — like the steak sauce. Maybe she shouldn't be in charge of the Department of Education...

Revealing just how selectively this administration respects national sovereignty. With Canada and Greenland, Trump threatens invasion enthusiastically. With El Salvador, Trump sees sovereignty as sacrosanct.

A good article explaining the senseless destuction of one of the US's most critical research institutions www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/o...

The U.S. stock market.

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

By the end of 4 years, all we're going to have are fake magic beans

A very, very good question.

It is important to understand what a complete and unqualified failure Elon Musk and DOGE has been. (📸 Wall Street Journal)

Good God. Hands Off was less than a week ago. This week has felt like 100 years.

The post below contains a free gift link to the article. It is worth your time.

Oh fuck. We are not going to be able to fully undo the damage being done by this administration, even if we get a sweep in the next elections.
