The Harvest Moon is now at its closest to Earth. Barely 224,000 miles away. Truly a 'Supermoon'! #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

The Moon is waning at 99.1% full and at its biggest and brightest as it appears to Earth.

Energy is currency. When you 'pay' attention to something, you're buying an experience. It's an investment, so
'spend' carefully. Treat your time with as much care as your finances. It's equally as important.

Pam Bondi’s testimony on Capitol Hill convinces me that I need to see the Epstein files even more. Release the Epstein files.

Pam Bondi is simply no match - intellectually or ethically - for Adam Schiff.

Watch this must-see clip as he dissects and exposes her pathetic performance today.

When she realizes how badly he is rolling her, she tries to interrupt. But it’s to no avail. She knows that he has her dead to rights.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

"It's said that power corrupts, but it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things. When they do act, they think of it as service, which has limits. The tyrant, though, seeks mastery, for which he is insatiable, implacable." — David Brin

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
