The important thing is that our president is at a UFC match

We are the dumbest country.

Thanks, Gab 🫂💕

Psst, hey kid, wanna see some good news?

It's my mom's birthday today and we were supposed to go out to lunch and do a little shopping... but of course my chronic illness won't let me have that. I'm so angry and disappointed. 😞

HOW TRUMP WON THE WAR! ACCORDING TO MAGA!

1. Trump replaced an aging, dying Khameini with a younger, more radicalized son.

2. He drove up oil and gas prices.

3. Thousands of civilians are dead, including 165 children.

4. Southern Lebanon is being occupied by Israel.

1/2 CONTINUED

5. Our allies are moving towards China.

6. Russia is a major winner with more revenue.

7. Iran has become a regional power and is controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

How is this winning?

What did I miss?

2/2

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war.

100-130 ships pass the Strait daily.

Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

Thanks. 💜 I've only had like 2 good days since I got here. 😭

My little bit of good news is, I think finally (after 7 days) my migraine has passed. 🥲

Today has been... a day. 🫠

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Viral photo from some years back of a man nonchalantly mowing his yard with a tornado on the horizon .

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.

Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.

Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Here’s the thing… even if Trump’s threat to annihilate an entire civilization is only bluster and bloviation… it’s still incredibly damaging.

Imagine living in Iran and watching a countdown clock to potential nuclear disaster.

He’s inflicting trauma & pain on the entire world.

"We didn't vote for thi-" You did. You just didn't expect it to boomerang back and bite you in your face.

You were okay with the transphobia, homophobia, and racism. You were okay with throwing the disabled and elderly under the bus.

But now that the people YOU elected are hurting your household, this isn't what you voted for.

If you swallow enough hate, it grows like a cancer and eats the host.

You voted for your own demise, and you will have to sit with it until the end.

“Just take a shower!” → And spend the rest of the day recovering? Bold of you to assume.

“Just eat something healthy!” → Love that. Now, who’s cooking it?

“Just exercise!” → Ah yes, let me speedrun a flare-up.

Basic tasks aren’t so basic when your body runs on hard mode.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now.

A photo of a painting on purple paper, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by paint tubs, paint brushes, coloured pencils, crystals, and leaves. The painting features a forest bathed in soft yellow light, carpets of purple flowers covering the ground. In the foreground, long-stemmed yellow flowers resembling buttercups grow out of the clusters of purple ones. The foreground is popping out of the frame on the paper.

I finally tested my purple paper and I love it! ☺️💜

One of the loveliest experiences on this trip was kayaking crystal-clear waters among gators, manatees, otters (seen at end), monkeys, and a plethora of birds in a primeval forest at Silver Spring State Park. Enjoy this close-up, underwater footage! More later.

A vintage-inspired illustration in a square format. This image features a butterfly amongst the flowers, decorated with a floral frame. The artwork is rendered in hues of blues, with a vibrant solid shade of pink as the backdrop.

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Journey to the Moon - NASA Artemis II lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 1, 2026, and will reach the lunar sphere of influence—when the Moon's gravity exerts more force on the Orion spacecraft than the Ear...

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

My greatest adult disappointment was discovering that bad people get away with everything.
