To those (of Indian origin) transitioning (or peeking in) from the birdsite, here is a starter pack to find your people, hopefully? Unless you're RW, in which case, I don't care to get you started, anyway. go.bsky.app/4VkeGQr

Excerpt from Salt and Sex by Amy Loeffler (republished in The Best of American Food Writing)

The honesty is refreshing as always.

I mean American people should be happy to pay the price of their holy wars.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂He posts this hours after TMZ posted photos of him walking around Disney World with a Bubble Wand! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A little folk music from No Kings in Middletown, CT

Holy New York.

Maggie Rogers, Joan Baez, and Tom Morello performing “The Times They Are A-Changin'”

Today is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark.

Wait, so US is using the populations of middle eastern countries as human shields? By Israel's definition those hotels are now legitimate military targets?

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

Once a Nazi ....

I’ve tried to stay out of the more lib brain nonsense that this app houses but I implore you that you cannot allow this man anywhere near the White House

Wasn't that the plan to start with? It's a small change for the Ellisons ... To buy Trump's favors.

FUN FACT: He advised Queen Elizabeth to pardon her son 3 years, 5 months & 12 days after she passed away. Please add "UNINFORMED" to my list. Thank you for your attention to this embarrassing matter.

Even corporations are fighting harder than some Dems, lol.

genuinely why does anyone report anything he says at all as if it means anything still

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

Now this is the communication model I appreciate.

new personal scandal just dropped and it’s just the fact that I Have A Birthday

Well one can hope ...

Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

🫧 Smoke trapped in a bubble on water: surface tension, soap film physics and fluid mechanics in action

Damn, they figured it out.

I was literally saying this to my wife that Trump would resurrect the same deal that he voided to claim he stopped another war.

Except when killing innocents.

A legend.

Modiji would be like: they can all start tea and samosa stalls!

This is also my experience with the oppressed caste slice of TW vs bsk. The latter has very little diversity. I kind of knew that, and even posted about it here, when I came to it. It's harder for many communities to rebuild their hard fought spaces and influence in a new world all over again.

I'm sitting here thousands of miles away, with no real skin in the game and yet I feel sad she lost. I'd love to have. Candidate like her locally that I could vote for. But alas!

What a relief it must be for Americans to know that rest of the world is fucked way more thanks to these madmen.

So that's a yes.

This beautiful, beautiful ensemble performance last night. Misty Copeland dancing in “I Lied To You” from #Sinners. youtu.be/j3ae7BvTuC4?...

Autumn Durald Arkapaw for #Sinners - first woman to win an Best Cinematography Oscars!

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Haven't watched One Battle After Another, but it better be really really good, because Sinners I've watched, and it's beyond brilliant.

Even assuming that the question was a plant, this is a such a good bit. youtube.com/shorts/Guv3f...

His charm will kill a few.

It's never about anything other than dominance and control with the right wing.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Orwell was such a naive fellow. He thought he was writing dystopian fiction.

If you think Jake Lang's career is over simply because he was caught secretly texting what he believed to be a 15 year old girl you're forgetting these people willfully elected Jeffrey Epstein's best friend as President of the United States

That's how you do it. youtube.com/shorts/GGHr1...
