Well… not anymore.
I'm trying to keep mine stocked with beer, but it keeps disappearing.
For no particular reason, I feel like I ought to keep a small bottle of bubbly in the fridge. You never know when you might want to celebrate something, right?
Two remarkable Ambassadors for our Planet, 99 year old Sir David Attenborough and 91 year old Dr. Jane Goodall. They’ve dedicated their lives to educate and protect.. 🌍 #janegoodall #davidattenborough #nature #chimpanzees #wildlife #environment #drjanegoodall #jane #sirdavidattenborough #bbc #bsky
AIPAC TV want you to trust them. Not your eyes.
They should make him use Auto-tune.
Yeah, he's dead.

Liking. Very much, liking.
This is not normal. Japan is continuing its run of astonishing temperature records. The country has just had its hottest summer for the third year in a row, and by a substantial margin. Data: JMA
Of course. It being a bit more than the usual posters and cardboard stand-ups, was the gist of my thought.
The fun thing is this isn’t even a new problem The NYT’s Moscow bureau chief during the 20s and 30s spent his time there arguing that the Holodomor/Asharshylyk wasn’t real and that the Great Terror was a sign of the Russian master race doing its duty to civilize the Asian untermensch
Been waiting for this one all day. Go #California

Next time Putin travels, should be his last.
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
NYT: “When Tennessee’s Republican governor @GovBillLee dispatched troops to support Trump’s crackdown on crime, critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis has a murder rate twice DC’s, Nashville’s is higher as well.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
By tickling the 'I could do that...' part of the brain with just enough '... hmmm...' to get them off the couch.
Could be. How does that entice folks back to theaters?
'... again, again.' 😂
More of Austin: Labor Day protesters are marching to the Capitol!
Perhaps this is obvious but perhaps not: both my research work and my public-facing writing would be impossible without the astounding resources of university libraries. My household also makes ample use of our local public library. Libraries are amazing.
The USA is losing everything right now...
Scoop - Ursula von der Leyen's jet was hit by a suspected Russian GPS interference attack while attempting to land in Bulgaria yesterday, officials told the FT, forcing the pilot to ultimately land using paper maps. on.ft.com/4oZFHST @financialtimes.com
GOP's relentless pursuit of power & radical authoritarianism threatens our democratic freedoms & civil rights. A lot of people are being severely harmed by Project 2025 actions, with much worse to come. Resist dictatorship. Fight back! Keep showing up.
I was just listening to a Charlie Kirk rant about how millions of people in the USA don't speak English ("unity is our strength," he says), then uses India as an example of a "unified country." Buddy I have news for you about the linguistic diversity of India.
Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan in D.C. convened an emergency hearing on Sunday and ordered the operation to stop.The court made it clear— >> No child can be removed without proper legal process. >>The government must return the children to shelters, and deportations are suspended until further hearings.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Bulletproof, too.
Reminder: In LA National Guard troops slept on floors and stood around doing nothing. Troops were never patrolling in high crime areas and never helped arrest or investigate any drug, assault, or murder cases. #RepublicansAllHatNoHorse

ummm...
We don't need to regulate either. We need to make the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime obsolete. We can do that with current technology. Without the hassle of changing a single law.

We deserve a president who is honorable and respectable.
He was all those things and more the day Biden took office.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
The split has not happened yet. We need loyal military members to STAY PUT. Stay in charge of the systems they command. Do not relinquish those systems to anyone.

Oh My Guard!
English ethno-nationalism like all such nationalisms the world over is a bit light in its understanding of history.
Happy Workers’ Labor Day from America’s unions! Today, we celebrate the workers who make America run and make our labor movement unstoppable. We’ll keep fighting so ALL working people get the freedom, fairness and security they need and deserve. Join us: WorkersLaborDay.org
This is a good start. Seeing four or five shuttles parked there ready to board rush-hour commuters instead of some 60 personal vehicles, would be optimal. Rail and Road should work together.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
You guys see where this is going? Right?

She was a smart woman. Never once failed to meet the occasion.
Busses are not constrained by the same weight restrictions that personal and commercial vehicles are. They beat the (*(*&%)*(^&)(*&)*R out of roads. That's why many busy bus stops have concrete pads. The 'stop & go' can heave up waves of asphalt in no time, especially in warm weather. It's not free.
Tolkien was *REALLY* bent out of shape when the publisher spilled the beans on the front cover of this third book.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
The body-double didn't work on staff. The ransacking of the palace after news of the death escapes the small bubble. They may start shooting at folks trying to leave. Popcorn?
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Time is the only thing no one can buy. The spinning never stops, and we only get a few. Would that only to think it and be there, to leap at the chance, to be with those who matter to you? Hesitate not to embrace, because the spinning never stops. We only get a few.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.

If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
