This is a wild ride of a read. Aliens exist! Also, no evidence. Will Trump and the Tech-bros keep the technology for themselves? All laced together with the GOP's "science is bad and hiding something from you" BS. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

Finding evidence of alien life would be “the biggest discovery ever made by humanity,” one expert said. But so far, there’s a lot of blurry photos and unconfirmed reports.

Question mark butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis). The name comes from markings on the underside of the hind wing. The underside of the wings look like dried leaves. Sorry, I did not get a pic of those. #butterflies #lepidoptera

Maybe if we convince the Dept of Defense that they are helping the "woke" cause of ending commercial fishing they'll stop blowing fishermen out of the water with missiles.

MAGAt: They're job creators! You should thank them. Me: So, if we don't to take the jobs, they'll be OK? MAGAt: No. They need workers. Me: So we thank them for something they need from us? Sounds like asking a customer to thank you for letting them buy your product. MAGAt: But, they earned it.

Trump raped kids. Paxton is a crook. Collins accepted bribes. The list goes on and on. Today the NYT has a story about Peltola that reads like "women are too emotional to lead" because of her struggle with grief after losing her husband while raising her kids. Priorities?

Lauren Boebert paid $200,000 in hush money to hide a sexual affair while Donald Trump paid $130,000, which is the only time in history that somebody made a worse deal than Donald Trump.

If state university Boards of Trustees have a fiduciary duty to the Uni's mission, how do they justify losing money to athletics while closing study programs & laying off faculty that align with the mission? Either I am missing something or it needs a @andrewtorrez.bsky.social deep dive?
