I found this charming creature hanging out in my rain barrel today. Appalachian Mountain Chorus Frog, Pseudacris brachyphona. 🌿 #nature #backyardwildlife

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

How the tariff rates were calculated: the "mathiness" and false assumptions explained. youtu.be/j04IAbWCszg?... #mathiness #tariffs #bafflethemwithbs

I so wish the judge would respond: "Listen Assholes: I have jurisdiction over YOU. And if you don't do as I order, those guys in El Salvador won't be the only ones in jail. Now, hop to it."

📸 @DrBiden just dropped a new pic with @JoeBiden in NYC, captioned: “Date Night.” Man, I miss them.

I just love it when I pull out an old album that I have not played for a while and I fall in love with it all over again. There is so much good music and great production inside this little package. #toriamos #littleearthquakes #reallydeepthoughts

Due to a spate of unseasonably warm weather, I have been seeing more moths around my home these past few nights. I found these three Phigalia moths all last night. They are all likely to be P. titea, but I cannot be certain. 🌿 #moth #nature

He said what he said!

Veldig bra, Norge! This is a shining example for free countries across the globe.

I spoke with an investment advisor today. His firm anticipates annual growth to be about 2% over the next year or two. I asked about a recession hedge & he said, "We don't anticipate that." Really, dude? Are you not seeing what is happening in DC now?

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

Hunter Biden’s laptop doesn’t have my SSN on it.

Here's a short lesson in economics that most of us attended in 1986. Perhaps some key people have forgotten it (or did not pay attention). youtu.be/X_wHBlouFSc?...

The Senate Intelligence Committee is responsible for advancing the highly controversial Tulsi Gabbard nomination to the full Senate floor. The votes needed for Gabbard to become Trump’s Director of National Intelligence have NOT been secured. If all Democrats on the Senate Intelligence…

Good morning! Here’s your minute of peace and calm. #OceanDevotion

Upon listening to recordings of communications at the DC airport from the time of the crash, I am in awe of the immediate responses from the tower, the airport authority, and emergency services. Within seconds of a tragic event, they jump on top of the situation and put out their very best service.

This is the best comment I have seen on Bluesky today.

Because the provision is written right there in the 14th Amendment.

NEW: The Chairperson for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency has sent a letter to the OPP advising they consult White House Counsel on the legality of ousting 17 inspectors general. 👀

Because I think we could all use a little good news right now

If immigrants are so lazy why does ICE always raid businesses?

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

In light of Trump II’s predictably cruel and bonkers beginning, many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-c...

Not to be all “BE KIND,” but I was reminded this morning at the coffee shop of the small kindnesses we trade with each other, and how that is also a shield against despair

Wars have consequences - economic, political, social, and demographic - that reach far beyond their immediate geographical locations. Now, too, we find that the war in Ukraine is having an impact on the future of world health. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Birders, I am curious to know how many folks are tracking the # of species they have seen since Jan. 1st. Who is trying to see how long it takes to find 100 species? #birds #birding 🪶🦜

In a nutshell... "Biden pardoned January 6 police officers, Trump pardoned January 6 criminals." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. ❤️

I’ll be posting this today

Tomorrow's gonna be a bonkers news day. Rudy Giuliani has a contempt hearing in front of Judge Beryl Howell for continuing to defame Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, Trump could be sentenced in Manhattan, and the 11th Circuit could rule on whether the Jack Smith report gets released. Buckle in!

Direct hit on the Sunset Fire in Hollywood. 🎯 Nice work, @lafd.bsky.social #LAFD c/o @nbcla.bsky.social 👨🏼‍🚒

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...
