For those of you under 50, please google Shari Lewis. For us oldies 🤣

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

We need to improve the resilience of our electricity grid.

I am in my sixties. Ask me anything. The answer to this question is: we had maps. They were made of paper. We looked at them before we started driving and memorized the salient points.

😂 there were more people behind JD (for the camera shot) than in front of him

This nearly made me spit out my coffee laughing! But sadly true in this age. Computers were supposed to be helpful and tools, not the weapons that AI has made them. I still have faith in a Roddenberry-esque future though, even if I never live to see it. One day these asshats will get their karma…

The Parti Québecois, a party whose hold raison-d'être is separatism, recently said they were putting all separation talk on the backburner for the remainder of Trump's term. Do you know how insane that is? Trump healed 200 years of Franco-Anglo tensions purely by being a giant asshole.

How Canadians 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 feel! 😒

The entirety of the Boundary Waters is being evacuated due to wildfires, led by eight fearless Wilderness Rangers paddling around to campsites.   1,000,000 acres. 2,000 campsites. 4 teams of rangers. 2 rangers per canoe.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Democratic politicians telling us today how sad they are about Lindsey Graham's death because he purportedly had such a "great sense of humor" are why Democrats are currently struggling with a base angry and resentful at the evil agendas promoted by the likes of vile toadies like Lindsey Graham.

Bonita tarde, amigos. 🤗 Caballito de mar pigmeo de Bargiban, de las aguas tropicales del Indo-Pacífico. Mal nadador, se sujeta a un coral y ahí vive. Su mimetismo es tan genial que no fue descubierto hasta 1969, por el científico Bargiban, no en el mar, sino en un laboratorio observando corales. 🥰

DC parade is also cancelled due to extreme heat. +20F above normal today.

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

i have been thinking about this a lot. my "left-wing" ideas about government reform mostly amount to trying to make the federal government conform with the vision in the constitution: a strong, active and majoritarian congress

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

La canicule d'aujourd'hui, c'est pas à cause de l'inaction d'aujourd'hui. C'est à cause de l'inaction du passé. L'inaction d'aujourd'hui, ça sera responsables des canicules encore pire dans le futur.

Like many people who have worked in politics for decades, I am baffled and upset to see candidates who say they are going to try to make things better defeating candidates who say they are trying to make it more or less like it was in the years before things tipped over into Oaf-Style Fascism.
