Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

So @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com decided to tell the tale of the relationship between our cats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCC...

Thank you. Here's an example of one of the correct versions: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Billionaires say their wealth is just unrealized gains and can't be taxed. Yet somehow the ultra-wealthy found nearly half a billion in cash to influence this year's midterms. #TaxBillionaires support #UniversalBasicIncome

Why were children so disproportionately affected by an Omicron variant (BA.3.2.2)? Lack of ancestral imprinting www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

THIS 👇 HERE TOO........

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

A spectacular X-ray tribute to a fantastic NASA mission. Swift has perhaps weeks left before it burns up during re-entry to Earth's atmosphere, after two decades of chasing the universe's biggest stellar explosions. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/an-x-ray-t... 🔭 🧪

Yacht owners will be living in a Far Side cartoon where the whales are all “Hold on, these things just crumple? Have they been like this the whole time?”

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

yup.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Don't give in. Instead, get out the vote. ⬇️ www.inequalitymediacivicaction.org/gotv

A Swedish study of over 1.2 million adults found that non-hospitalised people with diagnosed long COVID had a 14% higher risk of developing high blood pressure than those without long COVID. Researchers highlight the importance of cardiovascular follow-up and regular blood pressure monitoring.

The treatment of coronary artery disease. 30 years ago my dad needed triple bypass surgery. In hospital for a week, three months to recover from it. Last month I went in for angioplasty, was in theatre for an hour, came out with two stents, job done. Day surgery.

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

Here's to hoping that Melania wins next year's Nobel Peace Prize for her imaginary diplomacy. It would drive a jealous Donald even further around the bend.

Catholic Bishops, from a church notorious for raping children without consent, prays with a president also notorious for raping children without consent, get touchy about the White House posting a video of the event [checks notes] without consent.

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

I don't agree with this. Even though Elon Musk received over $38,000,000,000 in corporate welfare from the federal government, he should still be allowed to vote. Once. What he should *not* be allowed to do is to interfere with *our* votes.

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

Robert's Right ✅️.......

Whoa dang! Whilst enjoying the Glebe (a nifty part of Ottawa) I discovered Evermore Books, a romance genre store! HOW COOL IS THAT? It was busy but I got a few snaps without peeps in them. They had BOOKS & BEWITCHMENT by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social (writing as Isla Jewell)! So rad. Yay for genre!

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

I wasn't going to comment on this but as a parent of three children I just. can't. get over it. What. How. Why. The appeal to "how smart am I" by suggesting she was overwhelmed by "range and complexity" (yes, humans are complex) when it is just basic parenting to know your child. Does she not know?

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.
