Nothing to worry about, just a US official advising our nuclear-armed adversary how to manipulate the President of the United States, a notoriously weak-minded mark

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

We took our kids to nice places bc 1: we wanted to make sure they could be in public places and 2: we also like to have nice experiences for ourselves as parents. I’m not stopping the clock for 10 years of my life, so you can be inconvenienced for a few minutes of yours.
I think being child free is a great choice for people who don't want children.
But honestly, I thought this was satire until I read the comments agreeing.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Kind of miss not having great discussion of the various local and state DOIs before the big DOI. Wish Dr. Pauline Maier could’ve had her input. #hatm

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

@bmorecitydot.bsky.social , just saw that there is a new painted right hand turn arrow in the center lane on E Mount Royal before the intersection with Charles Street. Does that mean you can now make a right from that lane, bc the light still directs you forward?

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

I’m a furloughed Fed that had been working without a paycheck for a month. WTAF are you doing Senate Dems? If we ever get the trifecta again, the first piece of business should be to burn the filibuster, then pass Medicare for all. Otherwise, what are we doing?

The only response from states should be, “f**k you, make me!”
So here's where we are, Sunday morning:
Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.
So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.
Dystopian.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Op Margraten zijn twee panelen over zwarte Amerikaanse bevrijders van Nederland opeens weg. ‘Past bij beleid van de regering-Trump’
Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.
