This is insane. Each day brings fresh outrages. Trump to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled war with Russia www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Sounds like a dictatorship to me

youtu.be/OeUZI5RnYGg?... Extremely funny, yet sobering

Beautiful Britain

The Jay and Suzie Gogue Performing Art Center is beautiful. What a gorgeous place to perform with Omnium: A Bold New Circus 🎪 We’ll be in Auburn, Alabama performing on Sunday and Monday. Come on by if you are in the area 😃

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGg7cr0...

youtu.be/kegqLSZi7o8?... The incompetence is staggering

The Grammy Award-winning artist and educator had shared an ALS diagnosis in 2022. She was best known for ballads such as "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."

youtu.be/vnHjZTbdaIE?... This is fascinating! I honestly had no idea there were so many ways to make noodles. Now, I’m really hungry 😂 Don’t forget to watch part two and three as well. 😁

youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0n... It’s crazy when the best, and most accurate news, actually comes from comedic news satire

This is pure extortion. Musk has far too much power for one person and also has enormous conflicts of interest in any role he serves in government. Both will have to be addressed if we want democracy, prosperity, and stability.

Russia and the US Begin to Divvy up Ukraine at Riyadh Confab talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/russi...

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Getting a bit chilly in New York

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

These guys appear to be unaware of the eventual fates of allllll their role models

I loved it in Pinocchio, but in real life... not so much. 👀 😱 #WhaleOfA-Tale

After my big move to New York City, I'm so happy to announce the next show I will be performing in. I have the absolute pleasure of inhabiting the role of MC/ Ringmaster with the Omnium Circus. A wonderful home for inclusion and wonder. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bMP...

I absolutely loved this performance. Choreography was fresh with excellent use of light and shadows. I’m not that familiar with his work, but I’ll definitely be listening to his songs more now. Hard hitting and poignant lyrics. He didn’t shy away and I applauded him for it.

youtube.com/watch?v=ipWM... Finally! A medical drama that actually shows what it’s like in a hospital. I love the commentary of Doctor Mike. You know it’s good when he isn’t critiquing the show and actually just commenting on the procedures. I look forward to checking out The Pit

youtube.com/shorts/ug65G... They are children! I can’t believe Bernie Sanders had to tell Senator Mullins (Republican representative of Oklahoma) to sit down in a hearing. This is school yard bullying tactics that makes a mockery of the US Congress.

If you want a long, but very thorough, read on just how crazy dangerous the situation is with Elon, @brockm.bsky.social has laid it all out in a single article. Please read it. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/t...

What a fantastic mashup. Go the Distance with Defying Gravity 😃 music.apple.com/us/album/def...

Federal workers cannot be offered a buyout exceeding $25,000, according to rules that are still on the OPM website. That's far less than eight months' pay, as stipulated in this alleged buyout. It's a sham. www.opm.gov/policy-data-...

youtu.be/0d0lgZBVIv0?... Happy Australia Day! After years away, I still call Australia Home.

I love this rendition of the song. It sounds so good in French 😃 www.youtube.com/watch?si=rzp...

What a fantastic tv show! Acted and directed superbly, stunning cinematography, and brilliantly written. It kept me guessing the whole way through 😃 #thedayofthejackal

"Shame and embarrassment and the difficulty of answering unanswerable questions about indefensible things, those are brakes that can be tapped in our political system." Here's Rachel on Republicans struggling with their answering for Donald Trump's pardon of violent January 6 rioters: Watch:

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

With the TikTok message showing up to all users in the USA, we need to remember who started it all. Now, the Chinese company posted a message intended for an audience of one. Flattery as foreign policy is dangerous.

Such an interesting conversation about TikTok, the ban in the USA, and the future of the platform pca.st/episode/b583...

Suicides, new tactics and propaganda iPads: my piece on the two North Korean soldiers dramatically captured last week on the battlefield. Ukraine is no longer fighting only Russia, but #Pyongyang too, and other malign states. Photos by @alessiomamo.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Now, these are videos I would most likely be interested in

As I mentioned the other day, numerous locations around the world have conducted studies and have shown that long-term, community-wide usage of PrEP (as part of a wider health strategy) have caused HIV infection rates to plato or reduce. Why is data being ignored? Sydney is one of those cases. 👇👇👇

youtube.com/watch?v=xt-i... I was a little disappointed with Gladiator II. Especially, the ending. I knew that it was horrendously historically inaccurate, but it was so much worse than I realised. There were some great performances, but in the pursuit of spectacle, the movie falls on its face.
