My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Hi How Are You?

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

The president of the United States calling for journalists to be arrested for reporting on empty seats at his rallies should be a much bigger story in the news.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

To all those who think that the AfD is 'just another party', please review the facts - they are meeting with indicted international war criminals. I think this level of treasonous betrayal must have criminal consequences www.reuters.com/world/putin-...

Just a reminder this statement was said by a sitting Congressman to the public, Trump and his DOJ offered not one pushback, denial or lawsuit.. it’s still just sitting out there

June 28: Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. July 24: European diamonds got their exemption from Trump’s tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like cartoonish corruption.

I made an axe from Avowed! You have to wet the EVA foam with water and then the epoxy clay sticks really well. The clay cures rigid, so you lose the foam flexibility, but I didn't need that for this build.

What the actual fuck? Look, I'm sorry to keep saying this, but the president is clearly a dementia-ravaged necrotic husk of a man whose addled rants bear no actual resemblance to reality and I, for one, think that is concerning.

I’m looking for an early Twitter-like app that has up to the minute news. This ain’t it. Suggestions?

Israel drops the world’s biggest non nuclear bomb on Lebanon. Corporate media is silent. The United States must hold these war criminals accountable.

Ten years today the British people were missold Brexit by politicians who knew better. Time to hold them responsible.

New from me: The cops who AI-enhance blurry photos to try to catch suspects are actually just tampering with evidence, lying to the public and raising the risk of wrongful arrests

It took 4.5 billion years of precise cosmic history to build an Earth that can support human life. Yet, we are risking it all for quarterly earnings. True intelligence means recognizing that a dead planet has a GDP of exactly zero. 🛑💼 #ClimateAction #EarthFirst

The evidence continues to mount. Trump is both physically and mentally incapable of discharging the duties of president of the United States. The sooner the 25th Amendment is invoked, or he is impeached, the safer America and the world will be.

Fucking terrible idea, we need to do everything we can to undermine the idea that people shouldn't pay taxes. Taxes are not a punishment, taxes are how we contribute to the collective welfare of society.

"Don't draw conclusions," the mayor says. "Ignore the video on Facebook of a 75-yo Black woman being beaten to death," says the mayor. The mayor adds, "The police who just killed a guy yesterday for being too crazy for them have the real video that will make it clear she needed to be beat to death."

The conclusion to my series on smart glasses (soon to be a video), in which I talk about tech determinism and how to fight back against our rapidly eroding privacy. Featuring an interview with @hypervisible.blacksky.app

Every Democrat needs to hit a microphone right now to say this is gross corruption, we're paying attention to who gets paid off here and we'll do everything we can to claw it back.

Mike Johnson is a typical Christian Nationalist, full of ahistorical disinformation about the United States. "In God We Trust" was not a motto from this nation's founding. It was added in 1956, at the height of the Cold War, as a Christian Nationalist rebuke to the Soviet Union.

"UNUSUAL OFFER"?? No, headline writers. "Charges Dropped Against Indian Billionaire Accused of Bribery, After Offering Trump A Bribe."

"There’s something weirdly magical about the early internet with its clunky fan sites, pixelated GIFs, and blogs with neon text. And while most of it vanished years ago, the Wayback Machine lets you return and experience it all over again." - Sam Singleton, @pcmag.com www.pcworld.com/article/3135...

Israel is using dogs to rape Palestinians. There's multiple testimonies. When I first reported on this obscenity, it triggered a firestorm. The New York Times has now, finally, reported on it - and Israel's systematic use of sexual violence. New post: www.owenjones.news/p/new-york-t...

NEW: Sec. Sean Duffy announced that he participated in a reality show about his family's months-long road trip across the country, sponsored by several companies regulated by the Transportation Department. We're asking the DOT inspector general to investigate.

🚨 URGENT: We are running out of time. There is an illegal plan moving forward right now to completely gut the US Forest Service. Don't scroll past this—it takes exactly 30 seconds to send a letter to your representatives. Click here and do it now: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

The Plague of Plastic: The other Petroleum Curse

Trump told 60 Minutes that Secret Service told him to get down. No, he fell. You can see here that Secret Service is trying to bring him to his feet. The press corps will accept his lies as true, however. I don't expect this to get more attention. It should, though, given how Biden was treated.

The Constitution Has Failed—And Repair Is No Longer Optional The American Constitution still exists on paper, but as a governing system it has collapsed under conditions it was never designed to manage. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/the-consti...

I don't want this to get buried by other news today

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime. Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings. Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks. With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

New York shouldn't rush a censorship mandate for 3D printers into the budget. Many experts have already warned that it won't work. It's faulty surveillance infrastructure smuggled in a budget bill. NYers, act now! www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

For decades, experts warned: don’t sell off America’s helium reserve. Washington did it anyway. Now a geopolitical crisis is choking supply, prices are soaring, and the U.S. is more exposed than ever.

This is an illegal occupation under international law and destroying part of the cultural heritage of the people under occupation is a war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Registration/connection/automated reporting requirements are not included in the bill, and will be designed by a later working group. That is to say, this law incorporates text not written yet and not subject to oversight that will nonetheless have force of law once created.
