On the occasion of Robin Williams' birthday. Saw Billy Crystal's one man show in San Francisco many years ago. Nice seat, too. Robin is sitting in the row behind me a couple seats over. For the next 2+ hours, I get the Billy and Robin's Call and Response Show.

This is it. Home. The only place life exists that we know of. We should be cherishing it not destroying it for the pointless enrichment of inadequate oligarchs. Greed can never be sated.
Dear Los Angeles, why are there no mayoral candidates with the energy and clarity of Zohran Mamdani? Dear California, why are there no governor candidates willing to speak as directly as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? 4th largest economy in the world and this is the bench? What happened? #LosAngeles

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
He hates comedy because it speaks truth to power & a malignant narcissist can't handle that. Period. End of story. With many thanks to: @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @latenightseth.bsky.social @thedailyshow.com 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Born in fire, battered by the wreckage of colliding worlds, covered for eons in magma, wracked by volcanoes, frozen and thawed again and again, and after everything went just wrong and right enough, here it is: our home. The rarest gift in the known universe. Happy Earth Day.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.
We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.
NYT finally concludes 2+2=4 "A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane statements" highlighted by "threat to wipe Iran off the map last week" and "his head-spinning attack" on the Pope "have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power."
Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.
Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛
Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
I want Democrats out there scaring the shit out of Americans about how insane and dangerous Trump is. I want them to say nonstop that they need to remove him from office and challenge Republicans to join them unless they don't love their country. Make it patriotic to want to get rid of Trump.
In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.
America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.
Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.
NEW: We just joined more than 200 organizations condemning President Trump’s dangerous threats to commit war crimes and grave atrocities in Iran. Our leaders must follow the Constitution and international law and urgently act to stop any targeting of civilians by this administration.
We are not here to wage war, and pay taxes. We are here to love each other, and protect this magical planet.
