I don’t know who needs to hear this today but the way you fold a fitted sheet is perfect and you should never worry about that shit again.

Hawaiian crows are extinct in the wild and are found nowhere else on Earth. Now, a small group, safeguarded in captivity, has been released in the forests of Maui.

I get the fixation with Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Charles Babbage etc, but whoever invented or discovered WD40 just doesn't get enough love.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Just sent the government my accomplishments

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Today’s town hall meeting in Yucca Valley, CA. “No one is talking about reducing benefits to the people who depend on them,” says Congressman Jay Obernolte of California. “Liar!” chants the crowd. Obernolte continues, “…the cuts are incredibly modest…” Unbelievable talking points.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Amen to that.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

Here are some nice mushrooms

I mean…

There’s something happening in this country.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

JFC 👇 ‘After a judge blocked a Trump executive order, Elon Musk shared a post with his more than 200 million followers on X that included the judge’s daughter’s name, photo and job, allegedly at the Department of Education’

Okay, this is one of my favourite ones yet!!! Brick apartments in Isfahan by Babar Hasanpour Architecture Office

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

It’s a cult.

This is exciting - look what just arrived (pre-orders help!):

Like bats?? I do! And I'm a member at @batconservation.bsky.social 🦇 If you click the below link and vote for the Bat Conservation Trust, they could win £5k! And who wouldn't want to give bats more help! 🖤 Sorry for being quiet! I'll be back tomorrow 🇭🇺 animal.movementforgood.com/index.php?cn...

As I’ve said before, *nowhere* is doing social housing as good as Spain 11 social housing apartments in Mallorca, by Carles Enrich Studio Simple finishes. Dual aspect homes with cross ventilation. Adaptive shading. So much to appreciate.

How does having trained staff at places like DHS, DOEd, DHHS, & DOC protect Americans? Without them, we couldn't fight child abuse, prosecute CSAM traffickers, & prevent early deaths. Your federal government is a cooperative of highly skilled, dedicated citizens who work to protect kids everyday.

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Say it loud, say it absolutely everywhere. This 👇

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Edward Luce drops a truth about X in the FT

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Nearly 1,000 former federal prosecutors ⬇️⚖️⬇️

Yep, think that pretty much covers it.👇

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

As an aside, setting a timer using the digital wellbeing settings on android to lock Bluesky after an hours use a day is great. I sometimes lift the timer on weekends but generally really helps avoid infinite doomscroll We've got *years* of *gestures at the world*. It's a marathon, not a sprint

It shall be fickle, false, and full of fraud

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
