A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
Today I got 'big mad' at a post on kids not being able to read books like The Hobbit, because they are too hard to read "even as an adult"! Nope. We aren't doing that nonsense. Kids can read big books. And here are my thoughts on the subject. - JI 🐉 fantasy-faction.com/2026/kids-ca... #booksky 💙📚🐉
Maybe they should just practice locking the door and turning off the lights and remaining silent while hiding under their desks…or is that just appropriate for kindergartners?

Here's a thought: Putting solar panels over asphalt parking lots will generate a shit ton of clean, domestic energy that doesn't have to go through the strait.
I adore this photo! Taken while walking near City Lights Bookstore. He almost merges with the mural behind him to become one with the cosmos #streetphotography #photography #SanFrancisco #CityLightsBookstore

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.
you know what I want to see as a star trek show? An alien race making first contact with the federation through the perspective of the alien crew, not through star fleet, like First contact movie, but done long form without star fleet involved until the end.
Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
Per last repost, I do think that in the US a lot of people, like a LOT of people, do not realize that if a birth certificate is no longer proof of citizenship then most of us have no proof of citizenship. At all.
On Birthright Citizenship: “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” -Justice Ketanji Brown 💅💕
Democratic socialists are still partying in New York City… 🎉 Wait — *checks notes* — sorry this is Colorado. Apologies! We got confused since we were told this only happens in NYC 😬 @melatkirosco.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DaO9NqR...
need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.
The plan should be as plain as the promise: I will save Texas schools, and I will put money in your pocket.
Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.
