Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

These hero dogs chased off a man who tried to sexually assault two female dog walkers. They were able to push him away, and then their pack of 11 rescue dogs ran him off into a tunnel and ripped off a piece of his pants. The dogs are all getting our highest honor, a 15/10

I wish the United States did what France does... France bans bee-killing pesticides. Bees are the engine of our agriculture. Without them, our food supply is put at risk. Healthy soil and intact habitats form the foundation for true sustainability. Bees are our survival.

Even with background checks, no system is foolproof. Public schools should not be sending children off campus for religious instruction with outside adults during the school day. Kids belong in school learning, not in LifeWise bible classes. www.wosu.org/news/2026-05...

Seconded. And I'm very excited to be interviewing @joshtpm.bsky.social and @kateriga.bsky.social today at 1:00 Eastern to talk about independent media and the future.

20 hours of work! This one's gonna be a slog. A blanket with super fine yarn? Maybe not the best decision, but I'm happy to have an easy project to cleanse my knitting palate when I'm sick of the tough ones. #knitting #knitsky #bigtwist #bigtwistyarn #longstoryshortblanket

FDA scientists found COVID vaccines are safe. Their studies were blocked from publication. When politics interferes with science, the public loses trust—and lives are put at risk. Transparency matters. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Ridge Sanctuary is an awesome place for a hike!

Happy Earth Day, Wisconsin! 🌎🌱 Conservation and protecting our natural resources are core to who we are as a people and as a state. Together, we will continue our work to leave our grandkids with a better state and a better world than the one we inherited.

tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Wisecrack ending and all of us getting laid off. it'd be dope to get to 200k subs on my channel by then, and I'm so close! help celebrate a year of being laid off? www.youtube.com/@MichaelOBurns

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Hemp is a growing industry in our state and a way that many farmers and producers have diversified their businesses. If congress doesn't act, this could have disastrous consequences for our state, our farmers, and our economy. www.wbay.com/2026/03/03/w...

"But the only way to be a person who understands anything is to be a person who actually STUDIES things. There is no way to outsource understanding. And there is no other path to freedom. Without understanding, one is, simply trapped." Attensity! By Friends of Attention, p135 #attensity

The Taliban just decreed death for “sodomy” and legalized wife-beating so long as it leaves no visible scars. When the state enforces one religion’s dogma, cruelty follows. Americans flirting with Christian nationalism should take note. www.cnn.com/2026/03/01/a...

This is a lot more philosophy-heavy than I thought it would be and it's been a long time since I last read philosophy. I'm going to power through. Anyone wanna read it and we can chat about it? @zesmerelda.bsky.social Thanks to @michaelburns.bsky.social for recommending it in videos.

If you borrowed a book from someone years ago and think they’ve forgotten that you have it, trust me… THEY HAVEN’T

Here we are...

January 6 was all antifa and the FBI/deep state but also let’s pardon them all, and they’re all patriots. For as long as I live, I will never understand how millions of grown adults routinely make such nonsense arguments.
