Looks like Schumer was at the Gym again chatting up GOP. From 3/16/25 NY Times, “He [Trump] was at 51, he’s now at 48, we’re going to keep at it, keep at it, keep at it until he goes below 40. When it happens, I am hopeful that our Republican colleagues will resume working with us,” Despicable.

Americans make fun of the French but the French have a history of publically executing their wealthy rulers and chaining up their abusive managers to a radiator to give them....constructive criticism about their leadership skills and compensation policies.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

Did you know that the scientific name for the killer whale, Orcinus, is derived from the Latin word orcus, “of the netherworld”? We use science and law to defend a critically endangered population on the West Coast known as the Southern Resident orcas. #TeamOrca Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4qlEF4n
Three orcas swim through calm, dark water with a backdrop of snowy mountains. Title: "Species Spotlight: Southern Resident Orca".Five orcas swim close together in calm, dark water. Caption: "The charismatic killer whale, or orca, is an intelligent, social predator known to form lasting social bonds and lives in highly organized pods where everyone cares for the young, sick or injured." Four orcas seen from above, the fins on their backs breaking the surface of the water. Caption: "But like all endangered species, those pods must learn how to navigate the complicated, dangerous terrain of the 21st century."A single orca, swimming through calm water alone. Caption: "As few as 74 Southern Residents remain on Earth. They’re in a dangerous decline because of a lack of food, pollution, and noise and disturbance from boats."

My favorite sea lion in the whole entire world is dead. He was attacked by a shark and managed to escape despite unrecoverable + debilitating injuries, and he had to be euthanized. Through some odd twist of fate, I happened to witness both the shark attack and the rescue attempt. I'm really sad.
