Hanging in my kitchen.

Illinois WPA Art Project conservation poster created by artist Joseph Dusek between 1936 and 1940: 'Plains farms need trees. Trees prevent wind erosion, save moisture ... protect crops, contribute to human comfort and happiness.'

Absolutely love Oregon's entry in The Nation's "These Dis-United States."

"Raise a flag to that." A-goddamn-men. Amazing work from @mirkdrop.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Comic describing the beauty and struggle of Oregon, by Shay Mirk, featured in The Nation.

Simple voice recorder have come a long way. Some have auto-record that trigger on sensitivity levels that are adjustable. Might take some trial and error to get right. Could import file into audacity and edit as required. is.gd/w4kTQY

Mall 205 Target has three security guards dressed like their about to storm Fallajuh but press a service call button because the item you're interested in is locked up and nobody ever shows up. Incredible choice in priorities.

The guy, who I recognized, is a very successful photographer. Traveled the world, seen conflict, experienced cultures. Every man, person, should know better but this guy especially. Unbelievable.

Witnessed a man walk up and tell the not even close to pregnant bartender congratulations while pointing to her belly. If she had killed him then and there I would have helped her hide the body.

Remember that the Pope is just a man, he cannot perform miracles. Or he's a Cubs fan.

#Handsoff PDX was so large it shutdown two bridges simultaneously. This trucker, who was probably stuck here more than an hour, was honking his horn in support.

How far along the approval process are they with the FAA? How cooperative, or not, has the FAA been? Has the recent change in administration and FAA leadership affected this collaboration, if so, positively or negatively? Are they working with other countries' approval agencies (TCAA, EASA, etc)?

To make up for our failure, you can give us slightly less more money. #blessed

In fairness to the $150 MLB app, who could have predicted network traffic might be high on opening day

Maybe the worst risk (felony) / reward (a single vote) of any available crime.

It's like robbing a bank knowing *beforehand* the *best* you were going to make off with was $1.

Yes, 1000%

Hackman's line in Crimson Tide: "I can't stand save-asses and I won't abide kiss-asses", and JD Vance somehow manages to be both.

When I reached out for tech support through your website's generic contact form my desire was for you to provide no technical assistance and instead send me marketing emails for the rest of my life. Perfect, nailed it, thank you.

Nobody actually cares about bipartisanship; they care that you get things they want done. Show me a single voter who benefits from legislation that provides, say, affordable childcare, that would penalize Dems for doing so without some Republican votes.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · Feb 10

Mitch McConnell's big insight: The American public never blames the minority party. Only people who play close attention to politics notice.

For everyone else—including a lot of media—the president is the main character, bipartisanship means POTUS did good, and stuff not passing means POTUS failed.

Craig Harrington @craigipedia.bsky.social · Feb 10

Democrats are taking heat for this Politico reporting, but the framing here explains why they're timid on this.

Even with Republicans in complete control of the federal government, the Democrats are getting set up for blame if the government is shut down. www.politico.com/live-updates...
