We have a couple teens who hear about current events. We try to provide context but for them these recent events are far removed from their social world (unlike school shootings). They’ve long been told they’re expendable so maybe as a result they’re generally compassionate to victims of power abuse

Day183 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution, a major US fossil collection John (H. sapiens) with some petrified (rock-hard), knoty wood from Antarctica... Might I have deep rooted issues? #SavePRI 🧪⚒️🌲
John Oliver leans back to show a Freud slipper and a large mass of grey fossilized wood in his lap, with a knot near the top facing the viewer and his arm on his desk.

Antarctica's tiniest climate witnesses are changing 🦠 Climate is reshaping Antarctic phytoplankton, impacting carbon storage and the marine food chain. 25 years of ESA Climate Change Initiative satellite data paired with 14,000+ in-situ samples reveal how.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

@mcuban.bsky.social its everywhere. Go to any local school board meeting or community action group. Pointing it out won’t stop it. This is the air we breathe now. The big challenge is to progress in spite of it.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

The record for the longest filibuster was set by U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (SC). He spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He was one of many senators who filibustered for 57 days up until the Civil Rights Act was passed on June 19, 1957. Hope to see this broken today.

114 years ago, a fire broke out at the 10-story Triangle Shirtwaist factory in NYC and killed 146 workers, mostly young women. They were trapped inside because the owners locked the fire escape exit doors.

@nicolefoy.bsky.social HSI/ICE went around Morgantown WV the past couple days and took many people from our community, mainly poor restaurant workers it seems . It’s hollowed out our town even more that has already been hit by closure of Viatris, RIFs at WVU, and federal agency RIFs. 💔

An amazingly talented guy but you know he’s not grocery shopping, making his own meals, doing laundry, watching kids, taking out trash, paying off bills, scheduling doctors visits, feeding pets, vacuuming, doing dishes, trimming the hedge, changing oil on his cars- I think u probably get my point 😂
