Love this! Astrobiologist talks all about life on Mars: is it there? Will we find it? Could we live there? Etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFt5...

Bless these folks!

The reason you see the outpouring — print, wire, broadcast — is because 60 Minutes writ large and Scott Pelley, in particular, are the gold standard and the real deal. It’s journalism as we dream of it. Bang on the door, go to the war zone, spend time, get to know the people. Tell *the* story.

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Hook, line, sinker More on Jubilee!!!

Every American owes a debt of gratitude to the brave people in Minnesota risking their lives to video the crimes of Trump's masked thugs. All of us not there should be sharing their recorded truth & doing whatever we can to end this reign of terror, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The nurses are pissed

This week's @runforsomething.net feel-good update: 81 new candidates to root for, a bunch of calls for future candidates + volunteers this month, and so so so much good vibes. You need this. rfsfeelgoodupdates.substack.com/p/rfs-feel-g...

NEW: In a controversial step that raises the possibility of a new kind of infertility treatment, scientists made eggs from human skin cells. Spoiler: The resulting embryos were abnormal and importantly, they weren't used to start a pregnancy. My story for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/scient...

had to pull the car over for this one

I don’t need to buy any distressed clothing. I can distress it myself, thanks.

I’m sure Chuck Schumer sincerely hopes some Republicans will join him in writing a strongly worded letter against Trump declaring war on San Francisco.

one of the through-lines of this administration is that it is ideologically pro-rape

the country is being run by people who got radicalized by being dunked on in twitter replies

I like it.

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Okay they're straight up trying to get these guys on board with murdering American citizens

‘Minor Threats: The Last Devil Left Alive’ #1 continues its satisfying supervillain subversion @darkhorse.com @pattonoswalt.bsky.social @blumjordan.bsky.social #comicsky Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social’s review:

What I would give for a completely honest, anonymous assessment of this appalling and ludicrous spectacle from the commanders in the room.

New worlds await... Tomorrow! With the start of Prerelease season for #MTGxSpiderMan!

Churches are now willfully breaking a commandment in their services in order to lionize a racist, pad their coffers, and stoke division. I sure hope the hell they preach about exists... www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Authoritarian theocrats in prestigious positions whose entire politics is “the state should force my religion on everyone,” which they rightly know sounds bad, so they use euphemisms “common good” and “civic purpose,” which they wrongly think sound good. Harvard law prof Adrian Vermeule is another.

Every Dem strategist, from whatever wing of the party, should read and take to heart this piece from @adambonica.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/data4dem...

Neil Young brought it at Farm Aid. One of the greatest rock n rollers of all time.

Who could have imagined that a guy who uses the moniker “Ka$h” would take over the FBI and shut down the bribery investigations of his buddies?

Per NYT, the “BAG OF CASH” $50,000 cash payment Homan took from undercover FBI agents was inside a bag from Cava. Trump’s DOJ made the investigation go away. A wildly corrupt regime. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

BASH: The big difference here, as you know, is that this is a broadcast network that was threatened by a govt individual who has oversight over their regulation and potential for mergers MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Sure, but this is also a network that has not been friendly to this administration whatsoever

Trump doesn’t sit down with anyone. He does not negotiate with anyone. We are beyond the stage of “hope and pray” for anything that has to do with Donald Trump.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

I’d never seen this one.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.
