Gather round Bluesky, while I tell a tale that happened 100 years ago in a magical place called “Louisiana.” One of the more incredible “what-ifs” of turn of the 20th century USA, and that’s saying something. Today we’re talking about House Resolution 23261: The “American Hippo Bill”

BREAKING: Labor leader, feminist and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta has died at 96. bit.ly/4zZMS2h

NEW: @ddosecrets.org, @crimew.gay and @ryanfae.bsky.social just publicly released one of the most comprehensive lists of DHS employees—including their job titles and managers—based off of leaked data from the login system Okta. WIRED took a look: www.wired.com/story/massiv...

Love this for these two idiots

Tim Miller is on the Charlie Kirk Show & it's not going well for hosts 👇 Q: Nobody wanted Renee Good to die more than the left MILLER: That's an insane thing to say. That's really offensive Q: They actively get in the face of ICE MILLER: And the punishment for that should be summary execution?

Cool kind of citizen-science on carbon removal here. one detail that stuck out: "Our study shows that if we were to implement regenerative row cropping systems on a national scale, that it represents the best climate solution currently available. And farmers don’t lose money or productivity."

Vivek Ramaswamy is a fucking monster. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Let’s see how grok does with the allegory of the cave

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

Vance's golden touch strikes again

oh my fucking god

Attorneys for 15 Minnesota residents facing federal conspiracy charges have obtained evidence of a sweeping, possibly unconstitutional spying operation carried out by ICE against left-wing social movements in Minnesota and beyond.

Last month, Kirk Herbstreit said he doesn't follow politics or pick sides. Which was nonsense. Just last week, Herbstreit quietly headlined a fundraising dinner for Alabama's second-biggest PAC. The very next day, the PAC sent $155,000 to Tommy Tuberville. www.foiaball.com/p/kirk-herbs...

Guys, you gotta see the video.

The votes initially haven’t been there for a lot of things (ending slavery, women’s right to vote, interracial marriage, bodily autonomy, same sex marriage, etc.) but we did the fucking thing anyways because IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO

I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.

Fuck this stupid spineless jellyfish of a candidate. She can’t critique genocide, she has done NOTHING but lick her wounds and hide for two years, and she can’t even commit to accountability as a former top cop. Kamala Harris is such a selfish hubris riddled lawyer. No fight, shut up forever

Behold, my son the disco ball 🎃

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East! Look, there's elections! Unless you're a Palestinian from East Jerusalem, no polling station for you.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Flavio Bolsonaro crying after losing the election. I hope that cheered up your day.

Ramaswamy’s team wanted to drop the Hag from Hell end later this week, much closer to Election Day, to prevent Dr. Acton from being able to fundraise off the backlash and deploy those resources. Oh well. I guess we will never know how that would have gone!

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

my Portuguese isn't great but I think I can work this out

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”
