Assholes who make fun of people eulogizing their dogs: There aren't many places for folks to do that, and it's a big moment in some people's lives they weren't exactly ready for. So shut the hell up and let them do it.

If it wasn’t for truck drivers, we’d starve. If it wasn’t for sanitation workers, we’d be overrun by rats and disease. If it wasn’t for construction workers, we wouldn’t have roads and the economy would collapse. Just because a job isn’t glorious doesn’t mean it’s not existentially important.

Texas got hemp wrong because this law hurts local businesses without giving Texans more freedom. We should trust adults to make informed decisions, backed by strong testing and clear labels instead of unnecessary bans.

Billy, the music loving dog is taken to the music hall filled with musicians practicing and listens for the sound that pleases him the most. It’s the cello. 🎻 He lays down basking in the waves of sounds he chose out of all the others. Music is the universal language. #DogsofBluesky #MusicSky

Of course it’s breaking the law! But as a joke of a country that can’t even prosecute a blatant coup, I have no doubt this will continue unchecked.

Free and fair elections depend on voters being able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. That's why federal law and many state laws prohibit armed federal agents at polling sites and ban voter intimidation. Our latest resource breaks down the law. bit.ly/4yOProg

Preventing Voter Intimidation by Federal Agents at the Polls

Any deployment that intimidates voters or interferes with elections would be illegal. Should one occur, officials and civil society are prepared to challenge illegal acts so that voting can proceed uninterrupted.

According to the latest Fox News poll, if the election were held today, we would own the House and the Senate, so let’s make sure we’re all registered and vote big in November!

This really is a perfect measure of the putrefaction of corporate media in the US, now heavily under the control of the tech bros.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

BREAKING: Four Republicans have joined every Democrat in the House to pass a war powers resolution reigning in President Trump on the Iran war.

What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.

Pretty wild that Taco Bell identified the source of the outbreak before the FDA did and promptly pulled it. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA

My new boss explained that she plans to use ChatGPT to do the same job I've been doing for 5 yrs. If she wants me to use it, too, I'm pulling out my Catholic card. 18 years of church every single week wasn't for nothing. I absolutely will require a RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION. Thanks Pope Leo!

Great idea for people. Not so much for birds, for whom light pollution can be disorienting and destructive. This initiative should be coupled with dark sky approved lighting. darksky.org/what-we-do/d...

DarkSky Approved

The DarkSky Approved program provides objective, third-party certification for luminaires that minimize glare, reduce light trespass, and don’t pollute the night sky.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

“Declined”? What is this, an NFL penalty?

The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and "it has declined." But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3

💙💙💙NJ Town pulled $91 Million from Citizens Bank ➡️because they fund ICE Detention Centers (aka Camps) Great job for taking a stand against the inhumanity 👏👏

This N.J. town just pulled $91M from Citizens Bank over ICE

Two N.J. municipalities have now pulled more than $330 million combined, according to the De-ICE Citizens Bank coalition.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Actually, there's no recorded evidence that Mark Twain ever said that. Though he probably felt that way: he didn't feel much love for his fellow humans, and not without reason.

This post is mainly for white folks to consider. I want to share something that may help you understand the reaction from Black folks who immediately looked at the Nolan Wells story and thought, “Something is foul here.” This isn’t proof that foul play occurred. It’s context. 🧵

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.
