Have you heard of the Japanese American photographer who smuggled camera parts into his incarceration camp, used a drain pipe to add focus, & captured bracing & moving images of life & baseball in that community? That & more in the Fifth Inning of Diamond in the Rough! 🗃️ @hcrichardson.bsky.social
“All gas, no brakes.”
Most of the worst gerrymandering is not even in Democratic states—but this is getting out of hand.
Texas districts stretch 300 miles. Democrats are at least putting it to voters in California and Virginia.
“Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people, but what’s worse, I think, is that they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad."
- Frankie Boyle, Scottish comedian
Like with NFTs, they were informed that if they didn't go all in in public, they wouldn't get paid. So they decided that since "cancelling" doesn't seem to ever amount to anything but they can leverage it later anyway, why not. This math ain't hard, y'all.

Netanyahu is a war criminal. He should be arrested if he sets foot anywhere there is jurisdiction to do so.

A dumb question: why aren't we called the United States and Commonwealths of America?

“The BBC has examined trade volume data on several financial markets and matched them to some of the president’s most significant market-moving statements.”

"These operations took people to South Sudan, Eswatini, Rwanda and Israel, and have included third-country removals where individuals are forcibly taken to countries where they have no connection..."

Followed by unmoderated laughter when his strides fell down under stress from his filth filled diaper, as sewage oozed down the folds of fat on his legs.
Is how I wanted this article to unfold.
Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.
At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.
Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

I think this was the whole scam right from the beginning. Why companies supported Trump and the tariffs. It didn't make sense. They were all in on it. Knew they were going to get to pocket it.
The only way you can convince me otherwise now is if they don't keep to all. I'm not holding my breath.
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Dozens of American veterans and military family members were detained after they started protesting the Iran war inside a congressional office building in Washington D.C.

I mean, why else were the GOP pissed about a 10-year old rape survivor getting an abortion?
The tech leader has overseen immense growth at Apple – and faced scrutiny for his ties with President Trump.
Someone knew.
$760 million bet that oil would crash placed 20 minutes before it did. This wasn’t a fluke. It happened three times in six weeks.
The feds are investigating. The question isn’t whether someone had inside knowledge of U.S. war decisions. It’s who.
