Maybe we could take pictures and use them to make postcards! I heard that went over REALLY well with lynchings

This is so disturbing. Imagine claiming to follow Jesus who was publicly executed and then glorifying public executions.

This is the theatre of punishment where authoritarian states rely on the expressive, visible power of "shock punishment" to protect absolute dominance when their political legitimacy feels threatened.

Not sure how achievable this is but I truly love "There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos."

post from @stuartpstevens

When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party. They are a dissident movement.

Act like it.

First day:

- cut off all funding of Exec. Branch

- vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX

- defund ICE

That's the first day.

On the second, get more aggressive.

There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

I love this update so here it is with alt text

4 panel cartoon. Panel 1 shows the usual meme of an elderly white man in a suit sitting at a table, in front of him is a plate heaped with cookies. Also at the table are a black man, and a white man in a cap and a yellow worker's vest. The younger white man has a plate with one cookie on it. The older man has a speech balloon saying "Careful. That foreigner wants your cookie," as he points to the black man. The black man and the man in the cap are looking thoughtfully at each other.

Panels 2 & 3 show the black man and the younger white man pushing the old man out of they way as they pull his plate heaped with cookies away from him. Panel 4 shows the black man and the white man in the cap, each with a plate in front of them with several cookies. They are smiling while each of them eats a cookie. The old man is nowhere to be seen.

Me, an idiot: [places multiple soft & squishy blankies & cat beds throughout the home] Gracie: eff you I sit where I want

A mostly white cat with gray tabby cap and ears sits on top of a gray toolbox with red latches. The toolbox is sitting on a shelf and on higher shelves, behind the cat, are several teapots in various designs, and other smaller ceramic pieces. The cat's eyes are green and she really doesn't care what fluffy places you have arranged for her to sleep in, she is going to sit on a flat plastic toolbox regardless.

$A photograph taken with an electron microscope of a tardigrade, otherwise known as a water bear. Tardigrades are typically a tiny fraction of an inch long (the largest will only reach 1.5 mm and most are smaller). The photo has been enhanced with an image of a violin, making it look like the tardigrade is playing the tiniest violin imaginable.$

I was just out of community college & it was great. Our whole neighborhood dressed up. Somebody whose house was on the river reenacted Washington Crossing the Delaware. People painted historical figures on fire hydrants. I made one of Johnny Appleseed (Dad had apple trees). There was a huge picnic.

four fire hydrants painted as historical figures John Paul Jones, Rochambeau, Alexander Hamilton, and Pulaski

"There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American." Thank you, Mr. President.

Post from Joe Biden:
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights--life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that's where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

From "The Black Death" by Philip Ziegler

It is the peculiar virtue of English society that it contrives permanently to remain in a state of transition; no sooner has it crossed one bridge than it is off on its uncertain course across the next one. Sometimes, indeed, it tries to cross two at once.

Our country was just declared insolvent, inflation is climbing, the Dow is dropping, manufacturing is tanking, and we're stuck in a war of choice with no allies to help us because he has spent a year insulting all of them. These people are genuinely, truly delusional:

From the Treasury website: "Under President Trump's leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability," said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. "There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial."

ALL OF THIS. Americans: So Bad At Math 🫤

A post from James Tate saying "Are we great yet?" in response to this post from Chris Lund: "It's hilarious when Americans pity my Norwegian tax rate. And yes. We pay more to the state. In return, we get free healthcare, free college, and 49 weeks of fully paid parental leave. We do not have to crowd-fund our cancer treatments. Your 'low taxes' just mean you pay private corporations a premium for the privilege of still going broke when you get sick. Our system is an investment in human dignity. Yours is a GoFundMe waiting to happen. The math is really not that complicated."

I don't expect this to get a lot of traction, but: Please add alt text, it's not hard & it's kind of fun. Also, please credit artists in a post. I may like an un-alt or uncredited post, but won't likely repost unless those things are included. Artists deserve credit, and alt text is helpful. Thx

Adding ALT text

ALT text helps those with sight impairment to understand and appreciate images, or for screenreader software to describe an image. It also helps search engines to find images.

To add ALT text:

After posting an image, look in the corner for a box labeled “+ALT text” and click on the box.

Your image will open in a separate window, with a box below it for entering text. Click in that.

Type a description of the image. You have 2000 characters, so be as detailed as you want. About 125 characters is recommended for readability.

Include things like:
- Who/what is in the picture
- Their expression/attitude
- Where they are
- Any outstanding colors
- Any interesting features

You don’t need to add words like “an image” or “a picture” of. Screenreaders already know that.

Click save and the text will be readable by anyone who clicks on the image and can be read aloud by screenreader software.

That’s it!

Not silly at all! I've been asked before :) I have several images I post often and I have a saved doc with the descriptions I can just copy and paste. I'm updating my pinned post to include this image which describes the process and how it is helpful. Thanks for asking!
