Excellent use of n versus x.

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies. They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

I almost scrolled past this.

Memorial Day weekend is among the busiest for travel in the U.S. and the unofficial start of summer. But how did Memorial Day, held on the last Monday of May in honor of America’s war dead, begin? Here is a refresher.

This shouldn’t be happening, but also: it’s fucked sky high that after 5 years of pandemic people would cancel conferences rather than go online or do hybrid accommodations.

Pete Hegseth led a prayer service in the Pentagon's auditorium where his pastor praised President Trump as a divinely appointed leader. The defense secretary said these events will be held monthly and are voluntary, but encouraged attendance www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

The Bulwark Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

I don't see how it has a chance of getting better until it falls apart.😢

Local villagers said he was a 2 year old elephant. In his death he folded his legs as if he were still a baby. I will not lie to you. I fucking cried when I came across this story. Because it’s just so infuriatingly heartbreaking. 💔

We chatted with research scientist Dr. Josh Smith, who shared about his role at the Aquarium studying kelp forest ecology. Then we challenged him to explain his work using only the 1,000 most commonly used English words... and fun ensued! PS Kelp is NOT a plant! 😉 www.youtube.com/shorts/H3ZE-...

"The international community has a choice – to keep scrolling through the grisly images of Gaza being suffocated and starved or muster the courage and the moral fiber to make decisions that would break this merciless blockade." - Olga Cherevko, @UNOCHA Spokesperson, Gaza UN Geneva

Very poignant …💙 In the vastness of the universe, our lives are like a blink of an eye — short, yet full of wonder.. Halley’s Comet!

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

This is a cool a British TED talk explains it in simplistic terms. Don’t believe us, that’s fine. Believe what foreigners are saying about us.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried. They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

Posting this for absolutely no reason whatsoever — Pete Hegseth in March: “Under the previous administration, we looked like fools. Not anymore” #SignalGate #SignalChat

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what’s really concerning is that an idiot like Trump has been allowed to sabotage the global economy without anyone stepping in to say, “Whoa, Donald—what the heck are you doing?”

Hey #Tesla owners. You should consider @aptera.bsky.social as the true alternative! Also, I just noticed Tesla does not have a presence on @bsky.app. Another reason to make the switch. 🙂https://insideevs.com/news/756848/tesla-trade-in-250-percent/

I am sad I laughed when I saw this. Classic #WTF.
