I Quit Smoking 🚭 📚 🐕 @iquitcigs.bsky.social · Aug 8

From @melrea.bsky.social "My beautiful, brilliant talented mother died of lung cancer at 57, each time I saw someone smoking, I wanted to slap the cigarette out of their hand...to save their life".

My Ninja Turtles card from Magic the Gathering was revealed!

Art from the Magic Card “Turtles Forever”
The four teenage mutant ninja turtles appear in a multiverse crossover. Donatello appears to be from the old live action movie, Raphael from the Fred Wolf TV cartoon, Leonardo from the Magic the Gathering TMNT universe, and Michelangelo from the Mirage comics. They are fist bumping and noogie-ing each other in front of a bright cityscape background. Ninjas lay scattered and defeated behind them.

This is good, actually. This is the kind of thing we need to build a pro-court expansion majority.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

I went to the, quite strange, Osaka Expo 2025, and made a video about it! You legally have to watch it because you follow me on the internet youtu.be/D10S6G1InXg?...

I really like the joke people do where they pretend to have just learned about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, and are like "oh my god". If you're ever wondering if you should make that joke, just keep in mind that it would probably get a smile out of me

Two kinds of diets:.
1) Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince (or hungry princess), dinner like a pauper.
2) Biggest meal for lunch.

I myself like a large breakfast (500 to 700 calories), and then the biggest meal for lunch, a light dinner♥️

He fired 17 federal inspectors general overnight, a purge of oversight.
Those watchdogs exist so presidents don’t get away with abuse unchecked. He’s tearing down accountability. #PurgeOfWatchdogs #UncheckedPower

I recently saw the term "Trunt" to describe MAGA people like Bondi, Noem, Leavitt, Halligan, Loomer, Greene, etc. I don't know who originated it but now I can't get it out of my head every time I see one of them on the news. Well played.

Bluesky mods aid genocide by banning Palestinians @pastures.myatproto.social · 1d

One of the more irritating things about some veterans and law-enforcement is that they think they have the most dangerous job in the world. They don't. Farming is more dangerous. So is fishing. Unless you're regularly in combat, it's simply not more dangerous than natural resources careers
