all alone in silence at the dome, Hiroshima Day 黙然とひとりドームにヒロシマ忌 -Shigemoto Yasuhiko (重本泰彦). Perhaps the most iconic anti-nuclear symbol of our times, the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall was built in 1915 and was immortalized on August 6th 1945.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
Donald Trump has used up almost all of the United States’ long-range missiles to increase all of the United States’ gas prices. He’s smart that way.

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

I have moved platforms before, I will do it again. I have no loyalty left. If this dude burns down a perfectly good house, I'm out.

Scott Edelman@scottedelman.bsky.social · 3d agoI find it hard to believe this music video of "Common People" made entirely of clips from Star Trek: The Original Series has been around for 15 years, and yet I only stumbled across it tonight. How is that possible? But — nicely done! youtu.be/zI3UfxyIdgs
