Photo booths are making a comeback. The machine was introduced in 1925 by Anatol Josepho, an inventor from Tomsk, Russia, who had immigrated to the U.S., said Maxim Sverdlov, a photo booth maker. Placed near Times Square, a prototype became an overnight sensation. www.nytimes.com/card/2025/08...
1997: the president was born in 1946 2007: the president was born in 1946 2017: the president was born in 1946 2027: we’ll see
I love this guy
Oh stop it, both the media for this idiotic reductive narrative and Dem centrists for being such astonishing wimps. The voters of NYC — especially young ones — made their clear choice, so either move along or go sit down. You win nothing by being cautious and scared www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
The American Heart Association (AHA) has issued new guidelines for high blood pressure, including earlier intervention with medication.
The country is being run by drug addicts, reality tv stars and fox news hosts.
"'I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.'"
Thank you on this labor day!!
So are we in a Weekend at Bernie's situation right now?
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.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
And they voted for it…

Is it sad?
One minute, you're just living your life, and the next, you're mimicking bird calls. Here’s how it happens.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.

No makeup, he looks awful in this picture
Where is Donald?
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
Texas AG Partizan Attack On Beto Ken Paxton threatens to arrest Beto O'Rourke for fighting the illegal gerrymander of five congressional seats. Speech is no longer Free in Texas! open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...

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.
What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Fatality.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
The Steven Spielberg flick returned 50 years after its theatrical release.
Don’t be fooled. This is 💯 what he (I use that term loosely because we all know who is running the country and it’s not Donald Trump) is trying to do!!!!!!!!
I can’t repost this enough!!!!!!!!!!
Science is real
YES!! Thank you! Tired of going to the gym or the doctors office and seeing FOX!
@LePapillonBlu2 Maya We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
YES!
Ain’t gonna lie-if this is actually a picture of him he looks horrible
Stay ahead of the heat this Labor Day: 💧 Drink plenty of water ☀️ Limit outdoor activity during peak hours ✅ Check on neighbors, kids, and at-risk elders 🐶 Never leave children or pets in cars Let’s take care of each other, California.
I 💯 think he has afib
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Truth is truth no matter how the GOP wants to spin it.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
The Iran-backed Houthis on Sunday raided offices of the United Nations' food and children's agencies in Yemen's capital, detaining at least one U.N. employee, officials said.
Interesting! 🧟♂️
This is the kinda stuff right wing media said when Michelle Obama oversaw a school nutrition program fyi. Glenn Beck transcript is from 2010.
I waited hours for this cloud to come near the lake #lightning strike reflection.
Yep! I gotta buy tix now!!

These are the ridiculous times we are living in
"If you don’t want to tear it down and start from scratch, you’re part of the problem. If you *do* want to tear it down and start from scratch, congratulations, you’re hired." Not much more to it than that.
Why Tulsi?? Because we are SICK AND TIRED of our children dying senselessly!!!
Brown‑Forman's "net sales in developed international markets dropped eight per cent" due to "geopolitical uncertainty". Sales fell 62% in Canada, 16% in the UK, & 10% in Germany. 🍷 #EconSky www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
California’s homelessness growth rate last year was lower than 40 other states, including Texas and Florida. The work doesn’t stop here. With our new SAFE Task Force, we’re going to bring it down even further to ensure that everyone has a safe place to call home.
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
People were forced to leave their pets behind during Hurricane Katrina, creating an unprecedented animal welfare crisis that has shaped the country's disaster response ever since.
Normally they've booked 40% of their fall soybean sales to China at this point. This year, they are at 0% booked, and no, that's not a typo. www.farmprogress.com/soybean/us-s...
“The CDC you knew is over,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis told me today. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The president’s global trade war has a bad day in court.
"Whatever one thinks of Bolton’s politics and policy ideas, he is a man—and a public servant—of integrity. The FBI raid on Bolton’s house and office is in all likelihood not about national security but a step designed to punish a prominent Trump critic."
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Hurricane Katrina and Covid were political. Both happened during GOP presidents. They will let you die, then blame you for it.
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

Breaking News from @theathletic.com: Ohio State, the defending champion, held off quarterback Arch Manning and top-ranked Texas to win a Week 1 showdown, 14-7.

Makes me sick
Disgraceful.
More proof that Trump and his cronies don’t care about the American people. They only care about power and influence. The rest be damned!
Multiple CDC leaders have resigned in the wake of layoffs and a shooting at the agency’s headquarters this month.
