DM's. It really should go without saying that here on Bluesky DM's are unacceptable unless invited, solicited or at least one gets permission out in the public space from the account owner before sending a DM.

It's pushy and rude to just DM someone. Don't do it without prior permission.

Agreed?

My psychotic dog, Jackson (Jax) I think may have some sort of brain damage.

First, he's anxious about everything but is getting better because he's on Prozac (I've never had to drug a dog before and I've had a few hard cases).

He wouldn't eat this morning or tonight. Who knows why. A noise

I don't think this 'six degrees of separation' thing gets enough attention. Maybe it's how it speaks to our incredible connectedness and how today we seem to have become so tribal. But I really believe that there are actually only six degrees of separation between each one of us and everyone else on

Looks like the Judiciary Committee needs to have a look at this @raskin.house.gov.

I agree with Mr. Wilkerson's attorney who says this loan has the potential to be a huge concern regarding manipulation of trump by others on Ukraine.

Do not EVER go into your adult child's job on their first day and override the professional that's there to teach them how to be independent.

That's not mommy's job.

Jessica: There are some key indicators that Trump and this administration knows this is going badly… We aren't getting the jobs numbers anymore, the GDP numbers or inflation numbers and we know, Donald Trump, if the number is remotely good or he can lie about it—he tells you what it is.

Yup, they can't use the ol' "we're going to follow the law and will release what we can legally release" claim anymore. Especially when the current law is that they release all the files.

Now that the judge has done this what'll they do? I just bet they'll file an appeal.
lol. Calling their bluff. These aren’t part of the 300G of data the justice department has (and could have released anytime.) the deadline is 12/19. Tick tock, Pamela Jo.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.
