It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
Let's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
Trump’s Fury at Reflecting Pool Mess Darkens as Damning New Leaks Hit
As Trump’s effort to jail people over his failed renovation starts looking even worse, a former federal prosecutor explains why this corruption of DOJ is so dangerous—and how to fight back.

I just searched 'rock' in my photo album on my phone and will post what comes up. First up, meet this little cutie Rhomb Porphyry cobble used as part of a 20th Century repair to the Roman Walls around York. Almost certainly from Norway, brought here as glacial till.
Here we have a rock with a social history story. A stalactite formed in the inside of a canal tunnel. The white layers formed before steam powered boats, when the canal boats were pulled by horses. From the late 1800s the boats were powered by coal and the sooty smoke coloured the layers black.
This might answer your question.

Pensacola’s 'Sewing Box' loses Blue Angels flight suit contract after 43 years
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- After more than 40 years, a Pensacola business says they will no longer make the Blue Angels' ceremonial flight suits.

Small on the scale of corruption, but I can’t stop thinking about this story about the Pensacola ladies who have been sewing suits for the Blue Angels for over 40 years. Their contract was for 127k a year, which basically kept them in business.
Welcome to the CAMBRIAN FECAL REVOLUTION. We didn't name it the Cambrian fecal explosion for obvious reasons. I'm happy to share this paper on fecal matter and its role in Cambrian ecosystems. So if you want to read a really shitty paper (50 days free access): authors.elsevier.com/a/1nYg8cZ3X7...
This article is the 💩

Data centers are driving up our energy bills, straining water supplies, and polluting our air. Trump, however, just approved the first data center on public lands and exempted data center power plants from acid rain protections. Trump stands with Big Tech billionaires, not the American people.
For Nothern California folks, keep an eye on the Gann fire in Calaveras County, it's already awake and moving early this morning. A large evacation area to the outskirts of the town of Copperopolis.
Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
an immigration lawyer working on some of these Haitian cases today says an ICE officer told them, re: the ankle monitors: “We’re following our orders.” Direct quote Hm
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 3d agoAm told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w agoA quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Even if involved in narcotrafficking, this would be illegal. Due process.
CNN@cnn.com · 2d agoThe US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

BlueSky, along with the @democrats.org and @democrats.senate.gov has completely ignored the Florida race for U.S. Senate. I’m voting for Angie Nixon. She’s pro-union, pro-workers, an actual fighter who won’t sit idly by, she can fix a flat, *and* she’s been endorsed by THE Ms Rachel!

Rainy is sooooooo high from her vet visit today. She was momentarily motivated to eat some kibble and then just got stuck in a trance and now she’s just purring over her food bowl.
