A little thread about Dolly Parton, Richard Dean Anderson, and Make a Wish. This was the late 80s. My neighbour's young nephew was dying and had three wishes: 1. Meet Dolly Parton 2. Meet Macgyver (aka Richard Dean Anderson) 3. Go to Disney World

Happy birthday to our one and only Grand Empress of Sci-Fi*, the inimitable Amanda Tapping! Many happy returns! 🥂🎉🥰 ... And we'll do our best to #SaveStargate for you! *My autosuggest wanted to complete this as "Grand Empress of the Galaxy". 😊

A photo taken earlier this afternoon by Queens resident Christopher "Lucky" Lopez. A picture is worth a thousand words. (Or at least 300 bucks.) I mean, really, what are we supposed to do with this??

one thing about me is that i will almost always have to text @newcrayons.bsky.social about how this is a perfect song every time i listen to it and she will verify my conclusions. i say almost cause today i decided to blue sky it

Since the 1970s, the Earth — fueled by greenhouse gas emissions — has been warming at a fairly steady rate. But 2023, 2024 and 2025 were far warmer than previous trends. A Post analysis shows the warming rate over the past decade increased by 42 percent. https://wapo.st/4qA1kZM

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

A visit to The Hague should be what’s next.

@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, PLEASE investigate and report on this story. I believe the instructor to have legal standing 1)the ssw dean Benner did not follow policy and instead worked directly with Sen Jim Banks and 2) Benner met with students and allegedly questioned the instructors integrity, as

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

30 years since I learned the meaning of the word sporadically.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable. Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death. It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

the most important part of this story is not that US diplomats asked if nonwhites qualify for Trump's South Africa refugee program but that Spencer Chretien--a high ranking appointee in Trump's State Department and former Associate Director of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025--answered NO

RuPaul is now the most-nominated reality host in Emmy history. (10)

You can always tell who the lover is. In a room full of people, one tells a joke and one laughs harder than it merits because love is light and when you feel too much of it it bursts inside your chest and sounds like fireworks coming out.

Kicks 17 million off their health insurance.   Cuts nutrition for hungry kids.   Makes it harder for working people to afford college.   Biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in history. But go off.

Can folks be sure to counter the “ICE Under Attack” headlines with this kinda important fact?

We’re friends, the kind who make promises and keep them, the kind who draw lines between them. We’re friends, but your eyes have dipped to my lips three times since we started this conversation.

‘Friends’ with ‘benefits.’ The benefit of fitting inside a part of my heart you shaped around yourself? The benefit of having your initials carved into the bark of my soul? The benefit of staining my memories like a bruise that will never fade? Are those the benefits?

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Anyway, he just lost.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

🚨 IMPORTANT: In-person absentee voting starts TOMORROW here in Wisconsin. Election Day is April 1. 🚨 The balance of power in our Supreme Court is at stake. 🚨The despicable Elon Musk and his anti-American Orcs are trying to buy our Court here. 🚨 DO NOT LET THEM. 🚨 Support Judge Susan Crawford!

Trump is defying court orders and abusing wartime powers to deport people with no due process. He's using the law that put Italian, German, and Japanese immigrants in detention camps during World War II. We are not at war. Donald Trump is not a king. He is not above the law.

This is Lola. She needs to be tucked in for bedtime, but has very tiny arms. So you can see why this is an emergency. 12/10
