The Pentagon's plan to livestream Nidal Malik Hasan's firing-squad execution creates a parenting challenge that extends well beyond the broadcast.

What a fantastic zipper spider in our tomato plants!

Who’s cooking up sesame chicken? This guy right here.

I’m finally using @bsky.app for something besides following politics and he and FIFA had to go and ruin it.

Thoroughly enjoying this aquarium build my family did for our new turtle. My wife has mad skills.

This is the very definition of taking the Lord’s name in vain.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Blasphemy and horror of the post aside, can we talk about this figure? Is it a Nazgûl?

I like turning the heat up and down simultaneously.

I know this is the least of anxiety producing things right now, but I still can’t believe Google supports this dumbness.

The America I love is the one that welcomes Arthur Liu - a refugee from communist oppression - and his daughter becomes an Olympic gold medalist! I don't love the America that excludes people like him, or deports them back to their oppressors, as right now with many Cubans, Venezuelans, and others.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

We know we are in a cruel time. This opens the door to a terrible new level of its expression.

There is no doubt the strikes are criminal. It is also becoming apparent that they are also incredibly ineffective as a deterrent…that has always been the case with the “War on Drugs” posture. www.npr.org/2026/01/27/n...

Truth. I’ll need to put an asterisk on my UT degree. Fortunately my grad degree was outside of Texas universities. “*before Trumpism”

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Nope.

You know, I always wonder why the theaters I visit don’t outfit themselves with marble (AND EVEN BETTER - GOLD) armrests. Seems like they would do it if they were home to first class shows.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Going vigilante and driving a cool car.

Amazing sunset captured on my run tonight. #Colorado

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

As a lifetime Texas Ex I am embarrassed by the capitulation to and embrace of political/financial power. This is not how we “change the world.” This is how we partner with exploitation and become nothing.

Doesn’t feel very congruent with a pro-life ethos — one where the imago Dei is affirmed.

This Texas Ex Life Member is not proud of this development.

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why fascist strongmen rely on women at home

Dang. Am I seeing the impact of tariffs and economic slowdown down? Our favorite ramen joint is EMPTY at noon on Saturday.

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

Just canceled Paramount+ and converted that monthly fee to a monthly donation to PBS. I already planned on doing so due to the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social nonsense. The monitoring of news content that was baked into the deal with the administration and FCC is even more appalling.

On my run this morning I encountered a female moose, two young bucks, and a bald eagle flying overhead… I need to buy a lottery ticket.

Who doesn’t need a garden gnome in their feed? Courtesy of my 7 yo.

You know who had a secret Police? Who also spied and kidnapped people The Queen of Narnia She was evil and didn't like humans either I'm on the side of the Beavers And welcome back any Fauns who change their minds

I just discovered film in my camera from college. It’s gotta be 20 years old. I wonder what’s on it. Time to find a place that’ll develop this!

My 15 year old daughter’s doodles are the best

Lord have mercy. Kyrie eleison. Where’s our “pro-life” government? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time….or the 1000th.

He knows that Sith are the only ones to carry red lightsabers right? He knows the Sith orchestrated the coup that led to the Empire right?

You should pay attention to how much historians are shouting about the dangers of this moment. We have studied the history of humanity’s inhumanity to humanity. What we’re seeing from this regime is reminiscent of the worst moments from our past.

Dang. I’m wrecked. @boozybiblescholar.bsky.social it was uncalled for to tell your readers to listen to Tobe Nwigwe’s “Make It Home.” That was so disruptive to my run this morning.

Having worked in community mental health imbedded in a community health clinic I speak with first hand knowledge when I say that this is categorically false. Our safety net programs serve a vital, life saving role for millions of people and they SAVE tax payers $ through preventative care.

Way to go Rutgers! Waiting to see if the rest of the Big Ten follow suit and codify this thing. All higher education needs to take note and protect one of the most valuable resources this nation has.
