Today, we heard harrowing stories from survivors of Epstein's abuse. Epstein is dead, but the hurt & harm he caused is alive and well. We'll keep pushing for accountability, including a public Congressional hearing with survivors and the release of the full Epstein files.
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
The dogs: *absolutely passed out after today's surprise exciting visit downtown and their long park hike* Me: *staring out the window yearning like some park-huffing psycho*
"Not enough people is the number one threat to the West, followed closely by too many people." (Or are there some adjectives missing?)
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
“For half a century, we’ve stood for nothing. Now, we lie down for everything. Just my thoughts 🙏”
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
In Opinion In 16 rulings in a row, the Supreme Court has ruled "against challenges to Trump and against lower courts that have ruled against Trump, in this wild streak of victories for Trump that have largely happened under the radar,” Kate Shaw says on this episode of “The Ezra Klein Show.”
Trump just said he is “cleaning up” American cities at his news conference. He’s not wrong. With nothing else to do, National Guard soldiers are quite literally picking up trash in DC…
What a special interaction 💕

Yeah robots are definitely not taking over the world. Not the red one, at least. 🤣

I will always love Journey with Steve Perry and I would die on this hill.
"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.
You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".

Went a rodeo yesterday. Yep, my first, lol. The Arizona Black Rodeo. Easily the MOST black people in one spot that I’ve seen in Arizona. Wonderful, rejuvenating and refreshing. So much black joy…with fan clacking, heehee! This is my fav video because the bull leaves like, “Fuck it, I’m done!”
⚡️Ukrainian forces liberate village near Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast. The positions previously allowed Russian troops to control the road leading into Kupiansk, approximately 104 kilometers (65 miles) east of Kharkiv, the regional capital.

Jay Graber decided in October 2021 to launch Bluesky as a stand-alone social media platform. It has since grown while other so-called Twitter alternatives have shuttered or stagnated. It now has an estimated 38-plus million registered users. Free & unlocked link to the CNBC story: archive.ph/UXfXE
Today in Black History: On Aug. 30, 1983, Guion S. Bluford (Guy Buford) became the first Black American to travel into space when the space shuttle Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral on its third mission. He was accepted in the astronaut program in 1979 and flew three more missions.

A flock of flamingos walking together.
They should have dropped an album like that flock of seagulls.
Shows like “Love Island USA” have triggered the worst online behavior in viewers yet. Experts say it reflects a deeper issue with how audiences today choose to engage
I often see turkeys on my walks, but the humans always hold me back and won't let me chase them! Today, they tried to make it up to me. I'll accept the offer, but this isn't over yet! #Husky #dogsofbluesky
“When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance & enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.” - Pete Buttigieg #Chicago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Appeals court finds President Trump’s sweeping tariffs unconstitutional but leaves them in place for now.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1963: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivers his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington. One of the most iconic speeches in American history, it was inspired by legendary gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. /1

It happened again: I start watching A NEW HOPE. At first it's childish, clumsy, ridiculous even, but when the suns set, Luke looks into the distance and the John Williams strings come in, I'm fully committed. By the Cantina scene I'm totally immersed in the adventure. Still a lovely movie #filmsky

We have a Husky that is alone 12 to 14 hours a day 2 to 3 days a week (has access to most of the house plus backyard). When we're on vacations we use a dog camp facility. The home alone part would be a disaster for some households. However some dogs are alright with it.
Fewer than 9,000 new Teslas were registered during the month of July in Europe, representing a 40% decline, while Chinese rival BYD sold more than 13,000 vehicles, representing a +225% jump over a year before. Tesla stock is up +8.35% this month. These investors are smoking that good stuff.

Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.

When they left him behind, Sonny chased after his humans & waited months for them to return... 💔 Today, we promised him he'll never have to pine for his family again... We'll find him a home that will return all the love and sweetness he has in his heart tenfold ❤️ #Dogs #Streetdogs #RescueDogs
The whole point, to put it very slowly, is that by only waiting until they came for the sciences (incl mathematical sciences!), the scientific community helped create this situation. Literally there’s a poem about this “First they came for …” Stand up for more than science
What if scientists hadn’t waited until this point to speak about politics Every time I see a headline like this, my brain just shouts Like what if scientists hadn’t sat around silently watching everyone around them get attacked Maybe the fight on campus would have gone differently
In hell one hour and already headed to HR 😂
Needed to get away from my desk so I went and watched this turtle swim around a bit
At first, I saw an aerial shot of a major stretch of interstate running through urban sprawl. The flying turtle quickly snatched me back to reality though, nice try internet, I'm going to bed 😂
10-year-old Sean the Science Kid told Dr. Gupta that his favorite part of the brain is the hippocampus (it holds short-term memories and transfers them to long-term storage in our brains.) Sean loves it because ‘memory is your bond with the past.’ Gorgeous.👇
Mind. Officially. Blown! 🤯 Mazda just obtained a patent for a six stroke engine that separates the hydrogen and carbon in gasoline so it can burn just the hydrogen, thus taking the carbon out of the system.
Just finished Andor with the kid. She’s a Star Wars fan. That was good stuff. Not the typical Star Wars formula. Gritty, moving, and quite the political statement under current circumstances.

#ArtistFave70s #MusicChallenge Bette Midler 2/Day 9 "Tragedy" 1976 This cover of the 1959 Thomas Wayne & The DeLons original is an album cut from her 3rd LP. Her arrangement is almost Carpenters-esque & Bette absolutely nails the ethereal 70s pop ballad sound. This version makes me sing & cry.
Are we sure it didn’t just fall in some curry like that seagull did
Just in time for pumpkin spice season.
NEW: After reports surfaced that she had been fired, lawyers for CDC Director Susan Monarez say she "has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign."
Taking a breath.
Everything I want I can afford, because if I can’t afford it then I don’t want it. A philosophy that has served me well for decades.
I saw a tweet that said Donald Trump is who the Bible and Founding Fathers warned us about and I can’t get it out of my head.
Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years: -gender does not cause them -SSRIs, no -mental illness, no -internet/gaming, no Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo: suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns
The antics of golden retriever 😂
Ed “Big Balls” Coristine—who worked tech ops for Elon Musk’s DOGE project—is under FBI investigation for data theft. This is the same 19-year-old who was linked to a cybercrime ring earlier this year.
