It’s really quite a relief not to have to play those stupid made for baby songs. Especially the ones sung by kids who sounds like no kids you’ve ever met. They make my hearing aids shriek.

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

But taxes are a step too far.

I've cared for 7 infants (not counting last-century babysitting) and baby James is the first instantly quieted by Louis Armstrong's trumpet. Maybe I just never tried with the others.🎶🎺

Considering the constant backup on I-95 through Connecticut, somebody must be giving away gas somewhere

A lot of clouds are gathering as storm Boelo builds, but we're doing our very best to clear them.

Why the hell would a country with free healthcare and college want to move to this shithouse country?

Oh good, we’ve made it to the “advertising discrete partnerships with the CIA” stage of this goatfuck. I remember when Marco was supposed to be the reasonable one.

Donald Trump speaking is what my speech-to-text reads like after I’ve had a gummy and I’m trying to make my phone google “is ibuprofen an NSAID?”

Trump's DOJ dropped two appeals defending its effort to narrow student-loan forgiveness for public servants. Teachers and nonprofit workers get a reprieve. The legal theory apparently qualified for immediate cancellation. #StudentLoans

@malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social told the story of his first campaign - which he won by ONE VOTE. Every vote really, really, really counts, friends, and when you volunteer to get out the vote, you REALLY make a difference.

Invited to a party? SHHHH! I think not www.evite.com/blog/etiquet...

Very cool!

Would you like some snake handling to go with your speaking in tongues?

Brendan Larsen from Ngāmotu in Aotearoa and a member of the New Plymouth Astronomical Society took this stack over a couple of hours and estimates 14000 satellite trails. This is how bad it is now, it's set to get much much much worse - and then we lose Low […] [Original post on river.geek.nz]

One mural costs 325 tote bag or t shirt sales. Or 283 advent calendars. Or 1625 stickers. I want to make more biodiversity murals in 2027…have you visited our shop lately? SquidFacts.net

"Stupidification" *is* a word and it's what he's been doing for a long time to anyone who listens to him

C-SPAN is currently reairing Kimberly Guilfoyle's July 2025 confirmation hearing, in case you lost a large bet and are looking for a punishment that falls just short of sacrificing your life

On the bright side, Zacharia is a shining role model for women crippled by imposter syndrome

@jeffreymphd.bsky.social this one’s for you

Trump officials are taking bribes. Why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

Great piece by Lisa Needham for Aaron Rupar’s Public Notice: Trump meme coin investors, including rich foreigners, have lost $3.81 billion but gained an opportunity to bribe the president of the United States. It’s mindblowingly corrupt.

The U.S. is routinely deporting human beings to Haiti, where it’s not safe to play a soccer match

"Sorry about your dead kid. Hey, you want to see my fancy party room? Look at that gold! Lotta gold. I got a new helicopter, too! Do you feel better now about sacrificing your child on my altar? Worth it, right? Look at that gold."

In honor of their accomplishments, we have made Deisseroth and Hegemann's past SPIE publications available for free in the Digital Library. www.spiedigitallibrary.org/2026-nobel-p...

Two more boxes of books for Windham preschoolers via 1000 Books Before Kindergarten. One of my children was mocked for having books in her room, which is why I’m slicing posterboard into bookmarks for kids. Every kid needs books in their room. www.willimanticlibrary.org/friends-of-t...

“The polytechnic project was conceived in executive isolation and unveiled as a miraculous institutional upgrade. No one had asked for it, but that was apparently further proof of its visionary character. Shared governance, we were assured, would only slow the installation.”

Interesting fungus thing among the reishi 🍄🍄‍🟫 growing on the roots of a long-gone white oak.

"Intersectional Idiocy"! Wow....had never heard that phrase. Definitely gonna use that. And Maga sure is the pure form of the meaning of that phrase

Good. I agree with the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and many other major medical organizations that we should lock the clock with Standard Time.

So excited to see late blooms I forgot the ALT. Mea culpa. Small bright yellow flowers on long stems bloom in the middle of a patch of browning Joe Pie weed. Across a narrow path is a patch of dark pink sedum flowers and a large daisy mum getting ready to bloom. In back ia stand of eastern hemlock.

I was surprised by this patch of bright yellow-ox eye sunflowers finished blooming a few weeks ago. Then I remembered that visit to the @sarahmackattack.bsky.social shop in Fishtown and picking up swamp sunflowers. Or Fishtown sunflowers as I now call them.🌱 #nativeplants #flowers

I miss having presidents who, whether I agreed with them or not, weren’t demented criminals.

September flowers are mostly pink in my yard. 🌱 #flower #garden

This looks fun. Wish I could go as a Philly appreciating New Englander. Cc: @willbunch.bsky.social

Life 😂🤣 So much fraud. I bet a lot of people that have policies are walking around alive. Big if true

Sweet baby James is instantly quieted by Louis Armstrong’s trumpet. That’s pretty cool.

Whadda dope

I wonder how many people have given up voluntary flying until 2028.

apnews.com/article/faa-... Hundreds of flights were canceled in the Northeast due to technical problems at a key regional air traffic control center, halting operations at every major airport in New York City area for several hours just as foreign leaders were flying in for the UN General Assembly.
