Chris Judge’s “A Daily Cloud” project began in 2020, born from quiet days in the garden during lockdown. With simple lines and a touch of imagination, he turned everyday skies into playful scenes - one cloud at a time. [1/3] Credits: adailycloud [FB] #clouds #creative

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

The Houston Chronicle comes out in support of wind & solar on the Texas grid, and kindly requests that the Texas legislature not shoot the state in the dick.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Important.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Lock them up.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

This is like watching all the animals fleeing inland right before a tsunami. They know what's coming. So did Einstein in 1932 when he left. Doctors Stanley and Snyder are two of the top experts on authoritarianism, and have called it quits. I'll be joining them in Canada this summer.

There is a systematic effort to make the word “Nazi” seem like just another insult wielded by oversensitive libs. But Elon Musk is not just a Nazi. He’s Dylann Roof in the West Wing hacking America to be more white, patriarchal & violent. Why it matters. www.mind-war.com/p/he-is-not-...

I worked at Long John Silvers for three months when I was 15. Daniel Powter "Bad Day" played over the loud speak at least three times per hour. Everyday was a bad day.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

You first.

When we look back at this period of time, Leland Dudek will be the face of gutting social security.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

📌I've been doing my best to check the veracity of this info, and nobody in a position to know disputes that at the bare minimum, there's a very real possibility that all of us have been compromised. 📌This is would be the worst internal attack on the American public in history. Second isn't close.

Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy

The new OpenAI model announced today is quite wild. It is essentially Google's Deep Research idea with multistep reasoning, web search, *and* the o3 model underneath (as far as I know). It sometimes takes a half hour to answer. Let me show you an example. 1/x

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.

Apropos of nothing, the Boondock Saints really holds up.

It's absolutely wild how the GOP has been gutted of any principle whatsoever. Even soulless principles of low taxes and stable, business-friendly policies are apparently gone now

My cartoon for @newyorker.com ☺️

So Elon Musk retweeted an edited version of my @privateeyenews.bsky.social cartoon, with the punchline of power-hungry, unaccountable “small government” hypocrites removed 🤔

🛑CANCELLED—“Research on Women’s Health” funding website of the NIH.

I ran $100 billion in Infrastructure and IRA programs at EPA. We obligated over $70 billion onto signed awards and contracts to protect public health and the environment. All that funding is currently frozen. Here are the facts… 🔌💡 1/X

What is going on? There’s a plane crash in Philadelphia

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

I just sent a letter to POTUS and VP, and I suggest you take an opportunity to do the same. whitehouse.gov/contact/share

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I posted this back in March of last year. Even more relevant today—and I still feel the same.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

‘very real issue that sheer volume of capital is no longer the limiting factor for the energy transition, but the ways in which that capital is deployed…expects the world to need just US$28 billion of investment in 2024, and no single year would need more than US$111 billion in new capital’

Since I am about to be at the mercy of a gaslighting criminal FBI Director who worships Putin, Mike Flynn and Donald Trump — in that order — and sued me when I pointed it out, this may be my last show for a while… If I disappear, the googly-eyed chud did it. 👀 7PM PT youtube.com/live/Q5oCSuB...

This is what Project 2025 looks like.

This is devastating. Most people in red states are not Trump freaks and do not deserve this.
