The people banning books are never the same people who actually read books.

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

My suburban blue precinct was gerrymandered into a Congressional district that stretches into far East Texas. They can pound sand. 🫠

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

Trump math???

Teen Wolf, is that you?

I felt that.

I never thought somebody would mansplain a Cobb salad to me but today is that day.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Rabbits use a laser pointer to lure a cat to pounce on it. The bunnies hide behind a small table. As the cat is distracted, two cornered mice take the chance to run in the other direction.

Daily bunny no.3296 creates a distraction

Side note: @sonolaboratories.bsky.social is a troll that has crated a blocklist that falsely labels left, center and Democratic accounts as MAGA - the list is "MAGA or MAGA adjacent" and do not use it.

Having coffee with my husband this morning and started talking about Frederick Wiseman’s documentary, “The Store”, and somehow ended up finding out Mike Judge was born in Ecuador and is fluent in Spanish.

It’s all data collection anyway.

Jack Plotnick interview YouTube video by Animateducated

Love Jack Plotnick. His Disney “Wonderful World of Color” series with its callback to 1970s thrillers is delightful!

I’ve stopped adopting new apps and started shedding old ones. I don’t need a toaster with an app.

We held on to all our old media players and media. Dug everything out last year in our journey back to a more analog life. Well, as analog as one can be in 2026.

Seems so 🤷

Police used a drone and saw Melissa Hortman wounded inside the home at 4:09am. It wasn't until 4:40am that police went inside to get her.

Bring back the headphone jack. I’m know it’s a feature, but I’m tired of hearing what others are watching.

4 examples of paper ticket stubs for concerts from the 1990s for Luna (red) Fugazi (yellow) The Pixies (blue) and Billy Bragg (green)

Going through some old boxes. I miss paper tickets.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3

LOL.

Erotic or neurotic?

My heart is breaking for Shreveport, Louisiana.

Eight young lives stolen in a devastating act of domestic gun violence.

All of us should be outraged that we live in a country that routinely subjects our kids to such unimaginable violence.

“Little Women” (the Winona Ryder edition) I love this movie and get over to Concord whenever I visit my sister in Boston.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
