Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
thank you jamal osman, aurin chowdhury, jason chavez and robin wonsley for "workers drive minneapolis"! waymo is a labor issue, and we cannot allow for gains won by east african drivers who organized with MULDA to be erased. we must protect our workers and stand up against big tech taking their jobs
taylr@taylordahlin.com · 10mo agowe should reject waymo on the basis of supporting labor in minnesota, where uber and lyft drivers fought to score a statewide minimum wage! and don't forget that lyft contributed $10,000 to all of mpls this year to reelect mayor frey and get a city council allied with him. they are making moves
"So anyway, that's why my keys are in the fridge" is a sentence I said today (They're still in there)
Is this Mamdani's sidelong way of pointing out that it was Giuliani who should not be at the 9/11 commemoration, because he endangered New Yorkers multiple ways? Beforehand by situating his terrorism response center in the WTC, after by lying about the dangerous air quality.

She hates Minnesota. The only reason she's running for Senator is so that she can be called Senator Tafoya. That's it. I'd much rather Senator Flanagan.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoDeRUSHA: When you say 'I'm going to flee Minnesota, I can't wait to get out'-- TAFOYA: Well, two years ago I was in that place
Christina Parks goes door-to-door with bottled water and groceries for her neighbors each day as part of her work with the nonprofit that she created in 2020 called C’s Corner and Thrift. Though organizations have poured into Sand Branch, as a resident, Parks bring a familiarity and trust.
A town 14 miles from Dallas has no clean drinking water. She’s trying to fill the gap.
The people of Sand Branch have lived without a functioning water infrastructure for decades. Christina Parks is trying to preserve what’s left of her community.

when i worked at sbux in high school they kept scheduling me for like 35 hours a week and i kept saying i can't work this schedule i have to go to school. turned out they were hugely overscheduling kids to avoid giving enough hours to the adults that they would've qualified for health insurance

icymi from saturday, my new story @us.theguardian.com talks to youth organizers @protectransfutures.bsky.social demanding Massachusetts hospitals keep providing youth gender affirming care—as the state's ~14k trans residents, including red state refugees, have started to see surgery cancelations:
Lex McMenamin (they/them)@lexmcmenamin.com · 4d agomy latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.
UPDATE: A very creative person/group made an imposter website for the upcoming RNC midterm convention in Dallas. That imposter website fooled many of us and what was great is when you clicked on it, it redirected to the Trump DOJ's Epstein Files website. Good job! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/u...
Fake Version of Republican Midterm Convention Website Redirects to Epstein Files
A spoof of the G.O.P. convention site tricked people for weeks, before redirecting them to the Justice Department’s library of Epstein files.

Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 4d agoThe fact that the website for the upcoming RNC convention in Dallas redirects to the Trump DOJ's Epstein Files website is...AMAZING.
If the machine can think why are all of you losing money
If Mike Davis were just some asshole with a Twitter account, his racism might be a personal problem But his proximity to the federal judiciary? That makes his racism a public problem
Flashback to nine years ago when I gave myself double-eye socket hickeys because my swim goggles were too tight An injury I didn't know one could inflict on oneself 😖 (Also apparently I didn't take a photo of my left eye, but that one definitely had it too)
bipartisanship with fascists is just fascism with extra syllables
The stalking feature of Flock is popular with cops. Flock loves to sell this feature to the police because the police love to stalk people.
Andrew Quemere@andrewqmr.bsky.social · 2d agoVERY COOL: Using Flock cameras and the state’s criminal records database to stalk your ex-girlfriend is not a fireable offense for cops in Revere, #Massachusetts.
When you post screenshots of HP, even to take the piss, it is a jolt to trans people who then, likely, have to spend time trying to work out the context & if that's a safe account to follow. The images of it are *everywhere*. Ads are relentless, placement in other programmes. Give us a break, huh?
Today’s my actual bday. What I'd love most is if @hidingsomewhere.bsky.social got support as a single mom battling the costs of poverty. V: HumanHummingbird Or directly: $danirockasota V: djamiempls Share in your circles, give if you can. Be gentle with each other so we can be dangerous together 🖤
✊🏼Indigiqueer Hummingbird@riotousmuse.bsky.social · 4d agoVirgos @wendykloiber.bsky.social @ruetha.bsky.social @jamietomasello.bsky.social & I are out here seeking support for fellow Virgo @hidingsomewhere.bsky.social in September. Dani, single mom, needs $600 for rent & could use all the support we can generate to get their car back & fight poverty.
NEW: Every week, a Philadelphia nun drives to the immigration court in Harlingen, Texas, to sit beside unaccompanied children, some as young as four, who face a deportation judge with no lawyer and no parent. An undocumented migrant who is facing deportation called Sister Rose Kuhn his “angel.”
God, I hate political ads. Why is Wisconsin talking shit about *us*?!?
Neighbors tell me they are waiting to apply to be mailed a ballot until there is greater certainty. That's a mistake. The court cannot make it any easier for your local elections officials to get you a ballot than at present. They can only make it harder. Sooner is better than later. No matter what.
Hansi Lo Wang (he/him)@hansilowang.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: The Trump administration is back at the Supreme Court with a request to lift the latest block on the U.S. Postal Service plan for President Trump’s attempt to restrict mail voting for the midterms. This comes after a judge in Boston replaced an earlier block that SCOTUS was reviewing
