June 14 last year was my 76th birthday, and I spent part of it at a No Kings March--my first ever protest. Late bloomer, I guess. If a post is especially funny or outrageous, I read it to Hubby — trickle-down Bluesky.

Makes you sick to think about what we have representing us now, doesn't it? It's a serious job, and we've got an all-amateur squad.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

"Data from more than 760,000 15-year-olds indicated that 86 per cent of teens globally use AI for school, and teens who use AI for schoolwork every week score one year behind teens who never use AI. Canadian students who use AI every week score two years behind." Brutally bad.

Or maybe this is his assigned busywork, sort of like when you give a toddler his own bowl and spatula to stir while you're cooking. They were looking for something that doesn't happen, but would make a great-sounding law, and it's hard to go wrong with firefighters. Everybody's happy!

Patrick gave away the secret when he was explaining how using "lie" throughout the paper wouldn't be very *interesting!* I can see why they might think reporting accurately on the Trump crime family could become boring—it's just one broken thing after another—but using weasel words is weak.

Are you serious? I've never heard that string of nonsense before. But there must be PhD students out there checking DNA and determining how long that particular DNA has been in that area. It should be provable one way or another. I'm guessing one way, the logical one.

Well said from @aselrod.bsky.social :
The real psychosexual perversion is in MAGA itself
-from Pete Hegseth's obsession with hairless, muscular soldiers to Donald Trump's history of sexual assault to the entire party's complicity in covering up the Epstein files. To watch the vice president lob tired gay jokes at James Talarico is just one more pitiful reminder of how this administration has spent every second since coming into power actively trying to drain the country of any decency.

The parents are currently out of town, holiday or conference, but when they get back, will they notice the difference? Depends on how much they've seen the kid this year. And that's how Jimmy becomes Janet! But don't worry, it won't happen in your neighborhood or mine.

We should at least consider the possibility that this kind of thing could happen in his tax bracket. The Nanny doesn't see the kid one day after school but thinks nothing of it. Two more days go by, and finally she picks up the child. She's worried about telling the parents, if she ever sees them.

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.

Very revealing moment for the press here. The unstated premise of this question is they cannot understand how Democrats are different from Republicans. That Democrats are capable of abstract, critical thought, and Republicans just use their mouths to reflexively echo.

Newspaper headlines follow certain rules of spacing and capitalization, and movies and shows almost always get it wrong--not because there aren't plenty of people who could steer them right, but they don't even try. Unfortunately, this is now mostly a problem for shows set in the past. Sigh...

Perhaps people want to listen because Ossoff's truthful. I think there's a great hunger for truthtellers, and not just among Dems. Mostly though people want someone who's ready to fight for them, and I think that's why Abdul is doing so well.

Ossoff (or Awesoff, as my phone spelled it) may very well be president someday, but first I would love to see him spend a few years as Senate majority leader. Maybe then they'd get some stuff done, and as a bonus we would have a spokesperson that people actually want to listen to when he speaks.

Rarely has a President sold out so much for so little gain. Excellent explainer from David Frum on how little price relief this will provide. It’s remarkable how willing Trump is to openly sell out our national interest in exchange for Ukrainian blood. So both foolish—and a stain on our nation.

Right-wing nationalist populist movement led by charismatic demagogue, failed in coup attempt but later got some power electorally and illegally seized more, deployed secret police to put minorities in concentration camps, and launched aggressive war, but do not compare to the Nazis, that’d be rude.
