I joke about how we haven't domesticated plovers yet, but aside from my one follower who saved a crows life and now the crow refuses to leave: don't domesticate wild animals.

. LISTEN TO ME 🗣️ I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT THE POLLS ARE SAYING. I DON'T CARE IF THE NEWS SAYS DEMOCRATS ARE WINNING BY A LANDSLIDE. GET YOUR ASS TO THE POLLS. DO NOT GET COMFORTABLE. DO NOT ASSUME SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA HANDLE IT. SHOW UP. VOTE. MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT. PERIOD. .

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

“Billionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell shares—which could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rights—in companies they founded.” www.wsj.com/finance/the-...

Republicans do NOT care about rural voters and they never have. Always been part of the scam.

GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

Rare to see HSBC get incrementally bearish: ".. We cut our max OW in equities .. Given the constant narrative bingo we just can’t have the same level of conviction any longer .. what’s worrying is the rise in long-term oil prices .. An immediate off-ramp seems hard to imagine." [Kettner]

I see you @nunesalt.bsky.social

a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes. a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs. friends, i think the tech may not be ready.

A Sunday sunrise. Good morning, friends. 🌞 #photography #PDX #ColumbiaRiver

I'm going to guess that Abdul El-Sayed also knows that calling JD Vance "boy" is going to rile up all those MAGA hat morons.

Shhh. Be very quiet... Early morning. My big friend, Gustavo The Spruce Grouse (Husband of Greta), practicing the fine art of camouflage. Stunning plumage. What a beauty. 📸🇨🇦 #AlgonquinPark #SpruceGrouse #Birds #Wildlife #Photography #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #OntarioParks #Canada

🇷🇸 Preliminary figures provided by #Serbia's election commission indicated a #record high #turnout, which commentators had suggested would favour the #student movement. Read more: bbc.in/4inFVRD

Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

So important that Lulu wins in Brazil.

The reason McCarthy lost the appetite for his HUAC investigatations was because the country eventually got tired of the antics. I think after 10 years of Trump being a political agent, his own voters are tired of the show.

If I’m Lula the first thing I’m doing is banning Meta and Musk platforms in Brazil.

Early on the golf ⛳️ course

"Lupe" sent us this pic saying "We are harvesting strawberries in Nipomo, CA. It's raining and the fields are getting flooded and are slippery, but we need to continue working. There's no choice at this time of year as it is essential to save money for the winter." #WeFeedyou

Pumpkins get from the fields to our homes for #Halloween Jack-o'-lanterns thanks to the labor of farm workers like these Moorpark CA farm workers who load each pumpkin by hand into the large cardboard box before shipping to cities ahead of Halloween. #WeFeedYou

Cancel his government contracts ASAP.

Humbled to have the 44th president with us in our movement to demand more for working people in Michigan. Change is in the air. 🤝

Both. Reacting to being unable to adequately protect them, but Trump is also preparing to escalate again in a big way.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces killed two people in Sloviansk and Kramatorsk,Donetsk region . Another 18 people in the region were injured.

Amanda Nelson linktr.ee/AmandasMildT... "Congress banned armed federal agents at the polls in 1865, and that law still stands. The administration’s intimidation plan has less power than it wants you to think, and millions of Americans are already voting through it."

(It’s awful. I take voting very seriously because- A. It’s a major way to bring change. B. If it weren’t so important the current U.S regime wouldn’t be trying to suppress my ability to do so.)

True Story...

This thrift store knows it's marketing.

The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.

The waye to figure out yf you are talkinge wyth a cat on the ynternet ys to aske the person you are talkinge to "have you been fedde" and yf thei saye "no my bowle ys alwayes emptye" BINGO you are talkinge wyth a catte on the internet. The Purring Test.

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

If we change the '25th Amendment' to the '47th Amendment', Trump will think it's in his honor and we can put it in motion.
