Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

I think I just felt the whole atmosphere sigh in relief.

Tremendous relief.

After a hurried explanation, my daughter thinks Elizabeth Holmes is a vampire and keeps saying in a deep voice “I want your bloooood” which is I guess good enough?

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

I am excited to announce my latest book with Michael Nabors - Race, Religion, and Reparations. In 1882, our churches split due to segregated seating. Now we're coming together to do important work in the first city in the US to have a municipal reparations program. bookshop.org/p/books/race...

I didn't want to be part of the problem with late vote counting in California so I dropped my ballot this week in an official collection box. Anyone can encourage friends to vote early, whatever state you're in!

The great thing about this bad situation is that while the marking device didn't work, the system did. Ms. Parton could tell that her vote was being recorded incorrectly and was able to correct it.

Can you help this grandmother who is raising her grandchild? I just contributed, but she needs many more helpers.

Pretty much this. Grab yourself a copy.

Just purchased. Total w/shipping to NY= $24.87. Looking forward to reading it and passing it along to others!

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

Leave the leaves -- let the buggies shelter underneath all winter. They make a feast for birds in the spring.

We beat em back once in our district. I don't fancy another go round. Ugh.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Geomorphologist: Water gaps are fascinating landforms. I mean, that river didn't flow uphill over that ridge and then slice down through it. Did you know we have several great examples right here in Wisconsin?

My neighbor's generator ran for a couple of hours yesterday when the power went out. I found it mildly annoying. I would have to flee the county if something like this happened.

ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social It was a joy to spend a few days in the company of Eric, Carl, & co. Kind, empathetic characters, with brains that are only interested in everything - and an author's brain constructed along the same lines -- what's not to love? I've just ordered a copy for a friend.

Liora the Kimberley rock monitor here. Times are hard, and there aren't grasshoppers in my enclosure. That's why I'm running on Grasshoppers for All and putting billionaires in a woodchipper so that all pet reptiles can be housed and have free substrate. Can you chip in $15? ♥️🤍💙 STOP to end

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

my unironic life advice for everyone is to go to an art museum once in a while because i think being in an environment that encourages you to really *see* something is good for you
