An old hippie, 71, retired, widowed and hanging on for all I'm worth. I LOVE Sci-Fi, nature photography, my adopted state of Oregon, dogs, dogs, dogs and people too. I'm a progressive liberal atheist humanist and won't apologize for being any of those.✌🏻

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?

Falling in love with Wonder Man. Really enjoying the chemistry between Simon (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Trevor (Ben Kingsley). A really lovely story really.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Seems like this would be a great time for Newsom’s social media team to get crackin’ on producing more anti-tRUMP memes. They’ve been few and far between lately.

Look for the good things. Look for the helpers. Look for the people fighting fascism. Look for all the positives no matter how bad things might feel. You deserve to have hope and you should have hope. There's more happening than meets the eye. There's more happening than the news media is reporting.

Pramila Jayapal: I believe that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel lied to Congress under oath. "It made me sick. This was the creation of this fantasy and very real Epstein Island where these rich powerful people could do anything they wanted. This crosses both parties."

If Jesus really existed and if he's claimed to have sacrificed his life for our sins but then he rises from the dead then where was the sacrifice? He got his life back and got to be co-king. How is that a sacrifice?

New in PN: Trump is clowning his evangelical base

"Trump now knows religious conservatives and their motivations well enough that he doesn’t feel a need to perform anymore. Like his supporters, he’s stopped pretending he’s anything but his worst self."

He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

I just bet that there's ten times more data on, evidence for and recorded history about MANY ancient kings and leaders that lived way over two thousand years ago than there is of Jesus Christ. That SHOULD mean something to people who think.

Swimming between stands of kelp in quiet waters is a Box Jelly. The shiny part near the top of the bell (lower left in the pic) is a small fish that's getting digested. Box Jellyfish have evolved very toxic venom and some like an Australian species kill more people than sharks do each year.

Great read from the Status Kuo
"...There is still no justice for the murdered victims, the investigation remains politically tainted, and many residents illegally detained and transported to concentration camps have yet to be returned home..."
But there are wins

There’s good news to report on many fronts, and we should not only enjoy them but understand what they mean going forward.
