While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction
The Dollar Store is about to run out of all the tacky gold shit he is going to decorate it with.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Apart from donating to support Wikipedia, I'd recommend everyone download their app.

You'd be surprised how many web searches end up leading right to Wikipedia. Instead of going through Google and all its ads and AI blegh, you can get straight to Wikipedia that way. Convenient and useful!

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

Well played Lupin.
Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre
TBF every day is #caturday if you believe it in your heart.
Hey lady. You forgot to post my #caturday portrait.

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants
Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

I proposed to my wife at this fountain. I love that it is the focal point of so much KC-related action - but especially today.
