Don't usually change my sheets and duvet on the same day, but today I did, and shook out the mattress topper and it's great! Feel like I'm in a hotel. Albeit a really untidy hotel owned by an angry cat.

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

MINERVA IS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD TODAY. That's the equivalent of mid-80s in cat years. I adopted her two days after moving to Minnesota, when she was five and a half years old. She's my precious baby girl and I love her so much.

Below it is an embedded post from @LinkofSunshine sharing the text of a January 2nd text message Mitt Romney sent to Mitch McConnell warning him of alarming social media activity ahead of January 6th, including calls to storm the Capitol and smuggle guns into DC - and expressing concern that the president himself was the instigator. The post notes McConnell never responded.

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae)...Mother Nature was working with a 'no such thing as too much' philosophy the day she designed this finch...native to a very specific & shrinking corridor across Northern Australia. Though a popular pet bird. #bird #photo #nature #biology #wildlife

Gouldian Finch perched on a textured, tan branch. The bird is a vibrant collage of saturated colors: a bright red face, a deep purple chest, and a brilliant yellow belly, with a leafy green back and wings. A thin turquoise band wraps around the back of its head, and its sturdy beak is a clean, ivory white. The background consists of soft-focus green leaves and light-colored stalks, making the bird’s sharp, multi-colored plumage stand out vividly.

Dodgers Pride Night is June 5 against the Angels, and they are putting up a permanent display in the centerfield plaza at Dodger Stadium honoring Glenn Burke and Billy Bean

This year, the Dodgers will be installing a tribute to LGBTQ+ trailblazers Billy Bean and Glenn Burke, who both played for L.A. and were among the first professional athletes to identify as gay. The permanent display will be housed in the Centerfield plaza and feature pictures and memorabilia from their careers and text explaining the duo’s contributions to Major League Baseball and professional sports.

Brutal.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

pope leo please do the funny and excommunicate the cheese

A top Vatican diplomat was summoned to the Pentagon for a “bitter lecture” demanding that the Pope get behind Donald Trump, it has emerged.

Vatican officials briefed on the meeting told The Free Press that one of the Pentagon’s most senior officials summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre to meet in January—then told him that the United States has the military power to do “whatever it wants,” and that Pope Leo, the first American-born pontiff, “better take its side.”

The site writes that “as tensions escalated,” one U.S. official “went so far as to invoke the Avignon Papacy, the period in the 1300s when the French Crown leveraged its military power to dominate the papal authority.”

lmao the strategy cheese is fighting with the Vatican

The reporting also confirms — with fresh sources and new color — what I first reported in February: that the Vatican declined the Trump-Vance White House’s invitation to host Pope Leo XIV for America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

Ferraresi obtained accounts from Vatican and U.S. officials briefed on the Pentagon meeting. According to his sources, Colby’s team picked apart the pope’s January state-of-the-world address line by line and read it as a hostile message aimed directly at the administration.

What enraged them most was Leo’s declaration that “a diplomacy that promotes dialogue and seeks consensus among all parties is being replaced by a diplomacy based on force.”

***For Those Who Lived Under the Threat of Nuclear Annihilation***

Know that some of us did not want this.
Know that some of us
held our children in the nights
and knew they were no different from your children,
their little sleeves all made of wool and cotton.
Know that men were death,
but some were not.

Indifference did this. A man
of ash. His madness.

We tried. We failed
our time
so vastly.

And when it came,
when the sky broke wholly open,
and the fire fell
and the children glanced into the radiance,

we hope, we hope
that you blamed us.

Because all this time
there was life, and time, and blood in us.
And words, and earth, and burning.
And the final light, the last good scrap
of the truth in us
that could have stood, and rushed
the men who did this,
and Jesus Christ like a flood among the temples
whipped them out with the beautiful rage of God.

—Joseph Fasano
