Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

This is Jemma and Bean. Jemma likes to eat her cheese snacks. Bean prefers to eliminate hers. 13/10 for both (TT: bjkuhn)

"This is an important thing to think about."

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

Remember this the next time corporations whine about minimum wage increases.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Canada is also saying that Lebanon has to be included in any peace framework

This is huge

Because when Canada says it, it really means 100 other countries are saying it, but they don’t have the clout to say it and they need Canada to say it for them

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

"With his bloodthirsty utterances, his fierce loyalty to Trump and his appalling inability to manage this huge moment in world history, Hegseth is every bit the disaster that anybody sensible could have seen coming," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

Trump's budget hawk is still trying to slash medical research. Congress is saying no.

dat.geo.wild > NASA 1d + Artemis is a pagan goddess. It's funny that nasa names all their "space" missions after false gods. 308 1.3K ໄວ 14 nikita_gill 7h ... I would be VERY careful when invoking the names of ancient goddesses with disrespect. Artemis in particular has a habit of turning silly, disrespectful men into deer and letting their own dogs devour them. I know you are deeply insecure about your baby religion. The rest of us don't have the time to mollycoddle you.

Americans don't know the reasons Iran hates the US. In 1951 Iran's democracy elected Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA & British intelligence staged a coup, installed a dictator who tortured and killed people.

It goes on from there.
