I'm taking a break from Bluesky. Love y'all.

Since screwworms are in the news again, I'll re-up this story I did a bit ago about the facility that has kept screwworms in check for 50+ years. It's a scientific marvel. And I am obsessed with it. 🧪 www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

Flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas. 👇

No living US president has had their face on US currency in 150 years since Congress passed a law banning it. Because that’s what dictators and autocrats do.

😂 For real!

If Black votes didn’t matter they wouldn’t be trying so hard to take them away.

I *knew* I'd seen this before. I'd like to not live Outbreak. Great film, not a real-life scenario I'd like to live. Or Contagion, which was scarily accurate.

Bezos is saying people making under $75k shouldn't pay income tax. Musk is saying UBI is coming by 2031 and we don't need to bother saving for retirement. It will be in spite of them, not because of them, and they know that. They're beginning their defense campaign. Fuck me. I didn't see that. 🤦‍♀️

www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ar... I'm going to try to remember the parachuting beavers rather than the enclave of Nazis living in far northern Idaho from now on.

I've never been a Bond fan but Idris Elba or Taylor-Johnson.

I think TN is great. I'll never understand why 101,000 people will happily go see the Savannah Bananas, but they can't get Blackburn the eff out. Same with TX. People happily watched two men play multiple female characters, beloved characters in Greater Tuna but still elected Abbott.

variety.com/2026/tv/news... Gotta love public access.

Tulsi stepping away isn’t random. People near the center of power often move first when they sense instability coming. Watch WHO creates distance before the story fully breaks.

The Trump administration is ordering federal agencies to install a White House app on the government phones of millions of federal employees. The FAA confirmed it this week, telling workers their IT team would push the installation automatically “as mandated by the White House.”

Tell us something we don't already know *that they will never pay for their crimes*. The lesson might be Massie has nothing to lose atm, which, I don't know, maybe he will use his next 7 months to name everyone in the Epstein files.....

Memorial Day isn't for Confederate soldiers, otherwise it would be called Loser Fucking Traitors Day.

His face!!!! 😂

www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti... Too bad courts couldn't do anything to ban the petrochemical companies from all their false advertising that plastic was actually recyclable and unharmful.

Skateboarding was a huge part of me growing up. The culture surrounding it, not much actual skateboarding. I was, am and will always be a huge klutz, but I still remember much of it fondly. It kept a lot of us out of serious trouble.

Pope Leo XIV on Monday set out a sweeping A.I. vision in his first encyclical, warning leaders to safeguard humanity from the technology’s most disruptive effects. His 42,300-word open letter to the world’s Catholics covers a lot of ground. Here are some of the themes and arguments that stand out.

Breaking News: Sonny Rollins, a jazz great with a forceful and imaginative approach to the tenor saxophone, has died at 95.

Politics Before Peace youtu.be/if-YgxZmzs4?...

Breaking: You know how Trump did a bunch of illegal shit when he was President? Yeah, none of it was valid and we're going to prosecute him and his family retroactively so if they'd like to flee to Saudia Arabia, now might be a good time. 🤷‍♀️

TN REPUBLICAN ex-Senator Lamar Alexander on Trump’s slush fund heist: "Sounds fishy. It’s Trump vs. Trump. They’ll create a fund & pay who he wants a lot of💰- It shouldn't go to people who attacked the Capitol to overturn an election and hurt 140 officers. That would be wrong.”

@jamestalarico.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov

What DEI? Is Kev freaked out b/c there are black/brown ppl in a 🎬? Have any MAGA ever read The Odyssey? B/c watching Hercules, The Legendary Journeys doesn't count. *in college some of the guys in my Classics class would use that as a reference for quizzes & be clueless why they failed. 🙄 🫠

Just b/c my great grandmother "did it" doesn't mean she should have.

There is no sorrow deeper or more profound than Clarence Thomas’ when he is thwarted in his efforts to speed someone being executed.

🗣️Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social : “Support independent media telling the actual truth… like I see your Tennessee Holler hat — folks on the ground amplifying stories that are often getting erased.”🧢🫡 Chip in to support & grab a Holler hat like @timmiller.bsky.social’s: tnholler.com/new-holler-h...

You lost money b/c you are an awful person and did awful things. There are repercussions for supporting Trump. These are the repercussions, dummy.

There is not a single insurrectionists MFer who beat a cop that should get a penny of our money. Not one. And the people making this decision will all be appointed by Blanche and will meet in secret. This is an impeachable offense by Blanche.

I'd like some members to get some ⚾🥎🏀 & do this before they leave. Talarico is likely not that guy. Jasmine @crockett.house.gov was that guy. I'll still vote for him b/c he's my only choice. @jamestalarico.bsky.social I sincerely hope you elevate her if you get the chance b/c we need her.

One of many reasons why the Founders specifically chose not to require that is because 8 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were born outside the colonies and 9 of the 95 representatives elected to the first Congress were born outside the US.

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Massie’s district was Trump +35, they only won by 10 and spent $35 MILLION… nobody was at Gallrein’s party. This was about outside💰. Trump’s (not compelling) platform is ‘I want to get rich, I don’t care that you’re poorer’ - That’s what last night told me.”

No, if she'd been treated like a Sinaloa cartel member, she'd have been given a 5-star welcome to a state-of-the-art medical facility at the expense of the American taxpayer to make sure she received top notch after care. This administration is reprehensible.

absolutely me right now, on the left. 😆

What in the fuck.

🔥 @chrislhayes.bsky.social : “Even Republicans are coming out against this. Brazenly corrupt… Trump is stealing $1.8 BILLION from YOU to give to people who stormed the capitol, beat cops, were convicted of seditious conspiracy… some committed child sex crimes. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?”

At 11 a.m. ET, Trump is expected to announce rollbacks to EPA rules governing refrigerants. The chemicals used in AC and cooling systems that are hundreds to thousands of times more potent than CO2 as greenhouse gases.

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

The Trump admin tried to use an unrelated White House engineering contract to quietly start construction on Trump’s personal “Triumphal Arch” skipping competitive public bidding altogether. The arch isn’t on White House grounds. It’s on NPS land near Arlington National Cemetery, over a mile away.
