Both sides? Explain your nuanced approach

Powerful

"1,170 participants ages 15 to 80 with one of two near-identical text exchanges: one set sprinkled with abbreviations, the other fully spelled out. In every single scenario, participants rated the abbreviating sender as less sincere and far less worthy of a reply." www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/wh...

isn’t that their job

Another reason I'm glad I never changed my name.

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

The foresters in the northeast are telling people not to harvest their woodlots. They can't sell the lumber they have, no paper mills are buying and new construction?? not happening either.

A sign from 5 April. Next event 19 April!! #Handsoff

I've missed posting my photos so here are a couple of last months favs. A local cheesecake from the Scottish Highland cow, some misplaced fire plugs, a beaver in the road and that d*^N red squirrel eating the bird seed.

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

National Parks as propaganda:

🚨🚨Please share this far and wide to make sure everyone from NC sees this. Don’t let the GOP steal this election that Riggs rightfully won!

Thank you @schatz.bsky.social! You are a Democracy Hero!

Worth remembering that the main guy behind the self-imposed destruction of global markets just got out of prison last July. And now he's decimating your retirement. www.cbsnews.com/news/peter-n...

It looks like May Day will be the next big protest. maydaystrong.org

EXCLUSIVE: House Democrats launch an investigation into potential conflicts of interest between NASA and Elon Musk

The U.S. stock market is in a freefall — and Trump has made it plainly obvious that he DOES NOT CARE. His claim that “sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something” is not only cold: it’s not true. These tariffs won’t help anyone, not even his billionaire friends.

I sincerely hope Tom Homan’s neighbors make the rest of his natural life in that town as miserable as possible. It would make my skin crawl to have a neighbor so depraved, so morally bankrupt, that he could not only order the disappearance of a 3rd grader but be on TV chatting about it.

What is so amusing is the idea that Soros is such a big political contributor. He is 35 spots down the list.

This!

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

Cutting basic law of war training is not just wrong — it could put soldiers at risk of violating the Geneva Conventions. And scrapping combat medicine training? That will put lives at risk. This is an incredibly short sighted move.

Are you tired of winning yet?
