There was a time when a sitting president's bank accounts being closed for money laundering would have been a big deal. That time is not today.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

It really is amazing how often the air conditioning fails on Halifax Transit. I've heard we've contracted the air conditioning out to another company. But I haven't confirmed that info.

I was once one of the few non-target women in a dept where a guy like this worked - I’d been warned & wasn’t polite to him, so he couldn’t get any warm fuzzies. (We’ve both long since left.) It was awful working somewhere that let a creepy old dude prey on every female trainee who came in the door.

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d ago

JUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

I would say it's unlikely she'd lose her job, except Pirro is a female. If you notice POTUS47 only fires females (Bondi, Noem and a few others) and not males who should be fired (Hegseth, RFKJr)

ICYMI: We have to stop dividing our problems into “left & right" & start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.” 977 U.S. billionaires have a combined wealth of 9.2 trillion & they funneled it out of the middle class. Then they keep us fighting with each other while they steal more.

But guys... you don't have to give up your addiction to rage. Just turn it towards things that actually deserve it: like billionaires, techno-fascists, and data centers! Then we can all be angry together!

#Caturday My favourite day of the week. Handsome, this guy is. Just a sweet, handsome chap. Soft as silk, sweet as pie.

When are we going to start jailing people for this? Or even charging effective fines? I know Halifax considered licensing landlords. NS decided not to fund any kind of enforcement sector for residential tenancies. All of this would have immense public support.

I do mosaics on weekends because that's when I have the time. Not having to spend most of my time working on things I don't love, means I could fill more time creating more art for my home and others. And my supplies would support more businesses who sell them. I would definitely not do nothing.

A self-respecting Congress would impeach him over this immediately. Doing an end-run around the Senate's Constitutional "advise and consent" authority to illegally take money from taxpayers, and give it to himself and criminals he likes. Alone, one of the most impeachable offenses in US history.

Look, even though I like Bluesky a lot, there are a fair number of bad faith, negative, and sketchy accounts here too. But if you’re interested in inspiring posts about cities and how they can be better, there are a lot of great accounts here. My first starter pack has a lot of them. Check it out.

This will totally appease Trump and he'll drop the tariffs and stop all that "51st state" stuff. Right?
