Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

how ridiculous for Tampa Bay Lightning fans to chant "USA, USA" last night against Montreal Canadians? Montreal has more USA born players than Tampa, and Tampa has more than half its team from Canada.

Why is it SCOTUS likes picking on Colorado so much?

This is likely to be the third major policy SCOTUS will overturn in CO in the past few months.

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Trump's DOJ is moving to wipe out the J6 convictions for 12 Proud Boys & Oath Keepers, including the founder sentenced to 18 years. Erasing accountability, one motion at a time. I break this all down and more in my Week In Review video on my YouTube page: youtu.be/hsI_hxHLNWo?...

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country.
Nobody takes it seriously.

Trump's polling is terrible and getting worse His second term is already an unambiguous failure.

"In fact, if the third of Americans who comprise his bedrock base of red-hatted MAGAs are held aside, the rest of the nation is now nearly unified in deeming Trump’s second term a failure, if not a disaster." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Pope Leo today: "Blessed are the peacemakers."

"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

A river does not force its way to the sea.

It does not worry about the rocks in its path.

It does not stop flowing
because the terrain gets difficult.

It simply moves.
It finds the path of least resistance,
and follows it.

Not because it is lazy.
But because it trusts the landscape to guide it.

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time

RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

The Complaint also alleges that President Trump told Defendants that the Letter was a fake
before they ran the Article. President Trump argues that this allegation shows that Defendants
acted with serious doubts about the truth of their reporting and, therefore, with actual malice. The
Court disagrees. To establish actual malice, “a plaintiff must show the defendant deliberately
avoided investigating the veracity of the statement in order to evade learning the truth.” Reed, 2025
WL 1874638, at *3. The Complaint comes nowhere close to this standard. Quite the opposite. The
Article explains that, before running the story, Defendants contacted President Trump, Justice
Department officials, and the FBI for comment. President Trump responded with his denial, the
Justice Department did not respond at all, and the FBI declined to comment. In short, the
Complaint and Article confirm that Defendants attempted to investigate. The Article also states
that the WSJ reviewed the Letter. [ECF No. 35-2].13 Accordingly, President Trump’s conclusory
allegation that Defendants had contradictory evidence and failed to investigate is rebutted by the
Article and is insufficient to establish actual malice. See Michel, 816 F.3d at 704 (holding that
plaintiff did not adequately allege malice where record “indicate[d] that the reporters conducted
some outreach and engaged in due diligence”).14

In dismissing (without prejudice) Trump’s lawsuit vs WSJ over that Epstein birthday card, the judge shows why a reporter — asking someone for comment and quoting their response fully — is a smart legal, as well as ethical, thing to do.

Nicolais: I shed my first tears as an attorney. Tears for freedom from ICE detention A federal court ordered my client released from ICE custody at the Aurora Detention Facility — after almost 18 months of waiting

as @marionicolais.bsky.social notes in this column... and based on some interactions i had in the last week...
"Court orders are neither suggestions nor guidelines. They 'must be followed. Parties cannot disobey court orders without consequence.' " a judge wrote earlier this year in one case...

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war.

This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does.

It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences
