Delta airlines, your bots are broken

Absurd. Simply absurd. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

Startups if you had $1000 how would you spend it this week? (Maybe you do have it:) See what I mean?)

Top of the morel to ya, @bsky.app

It's International Noise Awareness Day. 👂

I don’t get it… if we can make a silent helicopter… then why can’t we make a silent leaf blower??? 😤😤😤 I can’t take it anymore!!!

Raise your hand if you can hear a leaf blower right now

Right?

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Please, please, please, do NOT immediately mow your lawn on 1 June after No Mow May! You'll destroy eggs and larvae/caterpillars. Try and leave a bit to be 'untidy'. I have seen only one butterfly this year and that is horrifying to me.

It’s officially No Mow May! Let that grass grow! Feed those pollinators!!

Step away from that lawnmower

There it is, in a nutshell.

"The Giants win the game on a Little League home run. Tell me you've seen that one before." "Well, not since my oldest son was 10 years old." Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow react to the Giants beating the Rangers on a Little League home run from Heliot Ramos.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, US AG Pam Bondi announced that any judge who resists Trump's deportations policy like Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan will be targeted. "We will come after you. And we will prosecute you. We will find you." ~ Fascism 101. Thoughts?! 🤔

Startups - if you had $1,000 how would you spend it tomorrow? www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV8N...

Startups what do you need today? How can we help?

Remove him. Now.

so they're mycoblogging

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

This is some sick shit

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

In MI, Black moms are 2.8 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. It’s heartbreaking, and 100% preventable. That’s why I support the Momnibus Act, which invests in programs to address this crisis.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Leave the leaves

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

If you know anyone who needs help with a startup - send them here

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

But don't worry. All of the human beings we sent to El Salvador are absolutely, super-duper guilty.

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

"Wouldn't it make sense to prosecute him?" -- even Fox News thinks it's suspicious that Karoline Leavitt can't cite any actual evidence justifying the administration's deportations to a gulag in El Salvador without due process (note Leavitt claiming "this administration is doing things differently")

BREAKING NEWS!!! GIFT ARTICLE. "The Supreme Court on Thursday backed a lower-court order requiring the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador last month. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! wapo.st/4cCAniQ

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.
