After Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate this week we can say the news of his death were somewhat exaggerated.

Has NASA considered making space suits out of Water Bear hides?

An 80 year old man who appeared in Home Alone 2 has died and not the one you hoped for. Proof of the non existence of a benevolent god, maybe.

Just watched a Goldfinch eating Aphids off my Milkweed and I’m wondering if Aphids might be a keystone species.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I reported this Facebook comment for hate speech, they refused to remove it, I requested a review, they refused yet again. Something to keep in mind when dealing with Zuckerberg/Meta.

Whoomp is just a modern alas.

@scottepage.bsky.social I see you have a paper out with the man, the myth, the legend. Interesting topic.

Everyone but @katiephang.bsky.social should be radio silent right now.

No Facebook, I think you need to check your internet connection.

@savannainstitute.bsky.social Just heard about your organization. Watched some of your YouTube videos. On the topic of agroforestry, do you see a return to full sized apple trees to allow better grazing opportunities below the canopy?

Holy Cow, Bruce Almighty lottery winners last night in Powerball. #Powerball #BruceAlmighty

I know it’s a warm windy Sunday but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen renewables beat gas on PJM before. Bob Dylan was right. #PJM

Good luck to this man and his family.

Obama says Aliens are real now Twitter is down. Coincidence? Probably.

BREAKING: The Border Patrol's Greg Bovino has been ousted from his role of "Commander at Large"—and Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski could be next to lose their jobs, sources tell @nickmiroff.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I need a curated news tab with experts I can open once an hour to see what’s going on. For example @katiephang.bsky.social for law news, @pkrugman.bsky.social for economics, need an expert in the following fields, Science/Technology, Climate/Weather, current news worthy events, who’s your experts?

Spending my Sunday blocking accounts that have the comments turned off. It’s called BlueSky not SoapBox.

"Does our plastic actually get recycled?" The #CamberVille newsletter is always excellent, but this one is truly a must-read: a deep dive into the recycling processing plant where all of Somerville's recycling winds up: mailchi.mp/bostonglobe....

Many economists and business leaders are raising alarms about falling birthrates. But advocates for lower human populations say a less crowded world will be happier and more sustainable. n.pr/47pRO3G

In a world full of Taylor Sheridans be a Mike Flanagan.

American Billionaires, as SNAP benefits dry up in November it might not be a good idea to sit on the sidelines.

Deactivated my Twitter account, gonna need you all to be more.

Same energy when Costanza wanted everyone to call him T-Bone

I liked some of these comedians and now I can never watch them again. Really Bill Burr?

Paul Giamatti not being nominated for his Emmy worthy performance in Black Mirror lessens the value of the award. He absolutely crushed it in that role.

@benforward3.bsky.social how about a Somerville Ordinance that prohibits the hiring of anyone who worked for ICE after January 20th 2025?

I predict Musk will be the first CEO of a company to lose $1 Trillion in Market Cap.

Looks like TSLA has lost 3/4s of a $Trillion in market cap since the election.

J.D. Vance: I’ve been to Australia. Well I’ve watched some Bluey episodes.

Flip the House Blue! Protect Our National Parks! Two upcoming special elections in FL-1 & FL-6 on April 1 can create deadlock with 50-50 party split in House. Third special election in NY-21 can Flip the House Blue! #ProtectNationalParks #FlipCongressBlue

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

Trump is a traitor on the Russian payroll, doing his master’s bidding. Traitors can’t be presidents, and presidents can’t be traitors. #ResistTreason #IStandWithZelensky #IStandWithUkraine

I get why Elon Musk doesn’t understand why Ukrainians fight. Musk emigrated to Canada from South Africa then to the United States. The thought of loyalty to one’s country or one country must be incomprehensible to him.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

Tom Brady’s anti-hate commercial has me thinking of this. What’s next a Ye ADL commercial?

Patel nom held over.
