Here's a ray of sunshine in a very dark world Germany has already exceeded its goal of shutting down 8 GW of coal plants - 3 years earlier than expected Amazing what a little sun and wind can do 😎 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Last weekend, I retraced the steps of two of the most important moments in American (and Chicago) labor history, starting with the Haymarket Massacre. But the Haymarket Massacre wasn’t just a tragedy. It still provides a compass for us to fight against fascism today:
Hey bud. Do you know what happened? 😒 Friends @alexanderdiabhal.bsky.social lost his main 🙏 🦋
❤️This photo is such good medicine for all the stressful stuff on social media. Thanks for posting!

The movie, Serenity, which was supposed to tie everything up neatly after the TV series cancellation, should also be seen even though I think it was not quite as satisfying as it should've been.
The weird trick that makes distant galaxies look bigger than closer ones…🧪🔭
This is a reminder.
That really is a banana republic move. Welcome to the Third World, America!
Unfortunately it didn't have a long run. But it was brilliant. Have a look and see if you can find it on some of the streaming services. m.imdb.com/title/tt0303...
If you know the television series "Firefly", it'll make sense.😉
Why? Wouldn't "thoughts and prayers" keep them safe?😡
Instead of fishing and foraging for berries like all other bears, Paul had wisely been investing the money he took from people he had mauled.
I’m so sorry Sophia and Endre that Americans have agreed your lives were not worth protecting.💔 If you lived in Norway or Finland, laws would have changed in a day. However America loves their guns more than your lives mattered or the 17 classmates of your injured. #WeThePeople 🇺🇸 To HELL😭

And the list has grown even since then. Even some Caribbean Commonwealth market countries are doing the same. I know of Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana. newsday.co.tt/2025/08/28/t... newsroom.gy/2025/08/27/g...
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
When someone says they’ll pray for me, I tell them, “You’re free to waste your time however you want.”
In the USA we have brilliant scientists- medical experts. RFK Jr is not among them
We dont have to live like this. Other countries dont. We dont have to fear that our kids will be shot at school. Children shouldn’t have to fear dying at school. Its a choice. GOP lawmakers receive millions of dollars from gun manuifacturers for their vote against all rational gun laws
I did it to Facebook years ago. there is very little that I miss from it. You don't have to wait for Christmas or New Year's.
I used to love taking sunrise photos. But my bed has the gravity of a small planet all by itself which doesn't turn off until much later these days. Haven't figured out which time zone on it's on, but it's working, so I'll take that.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

If the price of God’s mysterious plan is the lives of innocent children, then perhaps it is a plan not worth worshiping.
In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe. Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

My friend just posted this and now I TOTALLY WANT A PROSTHETIC ROBO DINOSAUR TAIL.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
For #FindsFriday a real treasure. This close-up shows a typical #BronzeAge #spiral design punched with bronze #tools in bronze. It was an experiment carried out in the 1870's by famous #Danish archaeologists. This treasure trove of #knowledge was buried in a storage room until I discovered it! 🧪
Let’s talk about that black moon, because it really is not that big of a deal. To understand it, let’s start with the phases of the moon. When the moon is full, we are seeing the whole half that is illuminated by the sun. (1/n) 📸: NASA, JPL-Caltech 🧪🔭
Correct. This is absolutely horrible. It’s genocide and those in office that are responsible for sending money to fund this is complicit and needs to be held accountable. Gaza is probably just the orange and his family’s new playground once everyone is dead. 🖕🖕 #Corruption #Genocide
I’m equally 25% Irish, welsh, Swedish, and Norwegian. I married a guy who is 50%Scottish and 50% Japanese. We are all immigrants and we are all American. My heart is breaking for our country. We have to do better.
Mary Chestnut, a Confederate wife, wrote about the sexual violence of slavery (the quote is a primary source from the 19th century so it has outdated language):
The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
Marcy, I don't think his crowd cares. I suspect that they would rather suffer under his presidency than flourish under someone else's. I don't think Americans in general realize the danger that they are *already* in. History suggests it's not going to be just four years, with people like him.
I stand with Ukraine! We need peace for all of them. 🇺🇦🌻❤️🫂💋🙏🏼
You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.
How is it possible that we are able to watch innocent people - babies, children- starve to death?
The artists are willing but the banks are weak.
English doesn’t have a word for “how manyth” — but Dutch and a bunch of other languages do. In Dutch you can ask, “How manyth time were you late this week?” and the answer can be simply “the third.” Check out the whole interview: 🎧 APPLE PODCASTS: bit.ly/4fHkNnw 🎧 SPOTIFY: bit.ly/4oCJju2
After 31 months on Substack, I have (for reasons I will explain further in this thread) decided to move my writing to Ghost. You can read my first newsletter (and sign up, if you like!) here. The photo you can see is of my primary school class in 1982 the-villager.ghost.io/a-great-scho...
It’s hard to believe that it was 17 years ago when, as a young palaeoanthropologist, I set out to discover the story of the origins and spread of our species around the globe - it was an Incredible Human Journey. #bbc #human #journey www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
I need historians to have all accurate historical documents, objects and digital information that's in the Smithsonian museums to be removed and sent to other institutions for safe keeping.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
Hard to Disagree with Mr. De Niro !
I would love that, but clearly educational institutions don't seem to have that in the job description. And I don't think that I paid a heck of a lot of money to be experimented on in college.
He clearly didn't have to put up with the teachers and lectures that I did.🤣
We used to be a proper country with proper governmental and pop cultural crossover ads for the betterment of all.
Excellent! I wouldn't have wanted to leave that spot.
What was the temperature like?
Hell yeah they did www.space.com/astronomy/ic...
I understand the sentiment, and I like the artwork, but over the last half century I have come across teachers and professors who really could have benefited from the use of ChatGPT when it comes to effective communication.
@jesszafarris.bsky.social @robwords.bsky.social A thread that the two of you will certainly like.
More a joke than a phrase but my dad was fond of this one: "When I was growing up we were so poor we'd all sit round a candle on winter evenings. And if it got REALLY cold, then we'd light it"

“No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.” — L. Frank Baum
I used to think the same thing. But over the last 30 years, I have come across several people who developed dementia earlier in life than normal. Acquire the knowledge and skills that make you happy. Make use of them while you can.
Letter from a young reader today who was “forced” to read a book by his teacher and “forced” to write a letter to the author, but who’s going to buy the book (More Than This) over the summer to finish it, “which is a big deal if you know me”. Honestly, best compliment a writer can get.
During the Great Depression, 48% of young adults aged 19-29 lived with their parents Today 52% of young adults 18-29 live with their parents. Life was more affordable during the Great Depression

ジェームズ・ローレンス・パウエル『2084年報告書』（国書刊行会）は、地質学者がＳＦ小説という体裁で地球温暖化によって頻発する自然災害について、リアリティ溢れる筆致で描き、警鐘を鳴らす。ここ数年の異常気象の恒常化が進行しつつある中、干ばつや森林火災、水不足などが深刻化し、自国ファーストの傾向が如実になり、ファシズムが台頭するという暗い未来が描かれる。本当地球温暖化問題が深刻なんだよ！ということを専門家へのインタビュー形式で確認していく体裁なので、とても生々しい。 日本の夏も35度が当たり前になってきていて、自分が幼少のころよりも５，６度最高気温の平均が上昇している状況を考えると、深刻である。

How much room is left in Alligator Alcatraz or the prison in El Salvador?
Exactly the same for me. I look forward to telling people that I am retired. I think it's a rather good euphemism for, "please go away I have no patience left."
I laughed too hard at this! 😂😂😂😂
🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
Ranger is usually too bashful for selfies, but he indulged me today 🖤
The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945
