You think staying home sends a message? It does. It tells politicians they can do whatever they want without answering to you. People bled for the right to vote. Don’t surrender that power to the very people you’re furious with. Make them answer for it. #BlueWaveIn10Days

In addition to how awful this is, 300,000 tons of diesel fuel is 94.5 million gallons of diesel. The US consumes 120-123 million gallons of diesel a DAY. 🥜

BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

RIP to the world's first software engineer news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

If you need a cheer up, watch the Nobel Laureates receiving the call that they and their colleagues/teams have won the Nobel Prize. Brilliance rewarded is so very satisfying.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

This is absolutely true. My mom died at 83 this January. As executor of her estate I’ve seen how much junk she received about her money. Awful, aggressive letters about accounts she didn’t have. When alive, she believed whatever they said. It’s truly a disgrace how the elderly are targeted.

A tribute thousands of miles from New York that gave me CHILLS. New Zealand firefighters performed a haka honoring the 343 FDNY firefighters lost on 9/11. ♥️ #SheShed

Dr. Jermaine Johnson slept in a locker room at the College of Charleston and still graduated. But his story isn't unique. Too many people are still fighting just to make it through. That's why he's running: to open doors for those coming behind him. @drjljohnson.bsky.social

This is a horrible idea. People already don’t know how to behave at airports, so let’s add more people. Brilliant. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m up early watching the BBC’s “The Media Show.”They had a guest, Nikolas Gruhn, a software engineer who coined the term meat proxy. “Meat proxy is a new term to describe someone who acts as a human conduit for material generated by AI.” Don’t be a meat proxy!!! 🥩

#SC voters, 👇👇👇👇

There are very few people who, by the force of their own personalities, drive and character can change a culture. Gloria Steinem was one of them. May her memory be a blessing.

Heartbroken. This eclipse is taking the best of us. Read his poem The Peace of Wild Things when your soul is needy.

Local SC ad for this woman is another Christian woman holding a bible and saying what a faithful woman she is! Comparing her to Ruth in the bible. So that’s how this campaign is going to go.

Empire State Building went full pink for Dolly. 💖

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

My heart is breaking. In addition to her musical talents, she was an exemplary human being. R I P Dolly Parton www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/a...

Parton's legacy is proof that you can be a wealthy, powerful, genius who is kind and loved. The jerks at the top are like that by choice.

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

So he’s gonna bomb the bond market? 🤦🏻‍♀️

What I needed this morning. The backpacks!!! ❤️

Professor Jason Stanley - ex-Yale, now Toronto - is also a leading authority on fascism. He busted Nathan Cofnas back in 2020 BEFORE his appointment at Cambridge. This entire story has been reported without any meaningful expertise of the context. spectator.com/article/acad...

NOW you verify this??? Are all journalists sociopaths?

Watching BBC News this morning and they’ve already started. It’s dominating most of the coverage. Killing Professor Arday did not suffice, more fodder for the meat grinder. I’m so sick of all these “journalists.”

The press hounded a man to his death, without checking that what they were saying was true. Yet they will never admit fault, will never change, will hound the next person in their crosshairs to their death.

I don’t know what’s going on with Natalie Harp, but the mere mention of her name is driving all the right people crazy—-and that’s enough for me.

#StayReadyCrew this is another thing I've been watching over the last few months. Mother Nature is probably about to have her way but it's something else most of the MSM seems determined to ignore. Trust & believe this global weather event will affect lots of www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

I’ve gone on at length about this, and am working with the many, many others behind the scenes, but if you are alumnae (yes I fempluralized) or simply an admirer of the program, and you care about the future of the program, you might send your notes to the provost’s office. The general idea is that

Next level cringe.

More South Carolinians voted for me in June than voted for ̶N̶o̶r̶d̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶ Graham and Norman combined. This state is ready for change.

If you find yourself dooming, it's worth recalling that Trump has neither the legal nor (more importantly) the practical ability to effectively federalize & rig the midterms. But if you find yourself complacent, it's important to note he can cause a whole lot of chaos by illegally trying & failing.

Good. Benghazi them to hell.

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

I cannot wait for President Sheinbaum’s response. If you miss what calm and composed leadership feels like, check out her press conferences.
