Watching Tiny Agent of Chaos teach her cousins a new game: diving for dead bodies. I must have missed an episode of Bluey. Don't remember this game.

I don't think you could look anymore serious if you were trying to catch a human baby

🚨 FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA VOTERS! More than 7K voters had their registrations flagged over questions about their residential addresses, & the ACLU is raising serious concerns about errors. Check your voter status NOW. If it says “Challenged,” contact Fulton County Elections.

Kind of crazy that the plan here was apparently for Trump to somehow steal the election for them

I'm starting to question meritocracy

A patriot speaks out on behalf of all of us.

Wtf? How did this guy get thru college?

Don’t forget the sovereign wealth fund - that’s what I call suffering www.nbim.no

Good. Hope the Dems are taking notes.

🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”

He lived long. He prospered. Goodnight Commander Chekov. RIP Walter Koenig (1936 - 2026) 🖖🎬 #filmsky #startrek

Eric Bauza died at his home yesterday from hypertensive cardiovascular disease, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records.

"Gasoline -- unless you want to ride the bicycle -- is your only option!" No, it fucking isn't. Worldwide, half the new cars are electric. I'm tired of living in a near-future dystopian satire.

"The Democrats want to take away your burgers!" Trump: Takes away burgers.

He knows he's dying.

Just now looked at Veronica Cartwright's film and tv appearance history. Holy Cow! She was in so many roles I loved!

Wildwood debuts with a 4.3 rating and is now the highest rated stop-motion film on Letterboxd 🐉 #Wildwood #Letterboxd

The global pro-democracy, anti-fascist movement just notched two major wins today, after Students List in Serbia ousted strongman Aleksandar Vučić and Brazilian President Lula defeated the son of the man behind Brazil’s Jan 6 to win reelection! In 9 days, U.S. next!

Got up early on Saturday morning to discover that my normal voting location had ended early voting. Fortunately Tennessee allows you to vote at any location for early voting. Drove to the county seat to cast my ballot. Straight blue.

Boooo! "the revised law bars Emperor Naruhito ‘s hugely popular daughter Princess Aiko, 24, from becoming his successor, and her future possible children from even becoming royals."

I got to meet up with one of my longtime friends JJ (on the right in the pic below) to deliver a painting study of Waterhouse's The Mermaid (years overdue) in the beautiful Smokey Mountains. Even saw a bear cub stop at a pedestrian crossing in Gatlinburg and use it unlike the zany tourists.

Guys! Guys! I finally got my daughter @trudgess.bsky.social to join Bluesky! All it took was telling her that this @jjsmartypants.bsky.social is on bluesky. I'm not enough apparently. JJ is on the right in the pic below. I, trudgess's mom, am on the left.

She needed AI for this? "Empathetic, creative, and an animal lover" WTF.

Yup. "The researchers concluded at the end of their experiment that “Instagram’s algorithm aggressively promoted pro-Bolsonaro and right-leaning content” while “actively suppressing Lula’s official campaign account.”

Trump arriving in Fort Myers today.

Long term ... also taking a hit.

Then finishes with "Well we're just going to get the AI companies to regulate themselves on AI-created bioweapons" which of course always works out perfectly in all the books I've read

The U.S. President's guy...and his guy's guys. Vile.

Here’s the editor of the Intercept Brazil as Lula tells the press that “something abominable is happening”

DOJ lawyer cannot answer questions about whether or not the government relied on the SAVE database to come up with the names of 20,000 potential noncitizens.

Wow!

Newsom: They were licking the boots of Putin… calling him a humanitarian. “Thank you so much for taking someone off the streets, incarcerating them illegally, holding them hostage, and then using them as a bargaining chip so that we can continue to make more money”

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

Interesting , Abdul El Sayed did not accept a $400M jet from the largest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood. That was this guy!

Something I wish more people would realize.
