anyway, in the wise words of @prisonculture.bsky.social :
a medieval-style digital art piece. In the center, there’s text reading “Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.” written in black gothic script, with a colorful blue, pink, and green dragon hanging upside down acting as the capital L. There is also a smaller red, blue, and yellow dragon as a filler at the end of the text. There’s a thin, blue and white border around the edges.

An ad saying The Sun will explode eventually where will your precious solar power be then with a mother and son smiling happily

This is a video of PBS travel guy Rick Steves at the Edmonds WA Hands Off event, giving a speech which I think is one of the BEST explanations I've seen for the average person of what is going on now and it is 🔥🔥🔥. You are going to want to watch this. youtu.be/86hnPrWozUo?...

Governor JB Pritzker jokingly (?) declared that Lake Michigan is being renamed Lake Illinois. The Newberry Library has a French map from 1718 that calls it “Lac des Illinois.”
Lake Michigan is labeled “Lac des Illinois” on a 1718 map by French cartographer Nicolas de Fer, in the Newberry Library’s collections.

Spaghetti making and wine drinking with @bettertones.bsky.social
Spaghetti on a rack. Will it be good? Tomorrow will tell. 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Younger me was good to older me. 2010 Riesling Spãtlese from Hexamer. Very herby in an unexpected way.

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides

www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...
Goran World - yesterday As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

NEW: Meta just killed its diversity, equity and inclusion program. Employees aren't buying the company's argument that it's the result of a 'shifting legal landscape.' What they're saying inside the company ➡️ www.platformer.news/meta-kills-d...
Another employee noted in an internal post how reactive the company had become, dramatically changing policies and positions based on one relatively close election. "It's a bit crazy, just thinking that if the election result was different — none of this would happen? Does it mean we were doing things that we did not believe in? Are we going to have such big changes every time power shifts?" Responded another employee: "Apparently the current direction of the wind is the way we 'lean in.'"

For more than 40 years, migrating birds have been crashing into McCormick Place Lakeside Center.

But this fall, when bird collision monitors performed their usual daily searches of the building’s grounds, they found something remarkable: just 18 dead birds.

Aaaanyway let's get back to cats smoking cigarettes. mhill46-holdthefrontpage.blogspot.com/2012/07/rand...
A newsprint illustration of a long haired black cat or kitten that is sneering with an open mouth, a cigarette hanging from the right side. He looks like a grizzled old boxing manager yelling at his fighter.

There are so many to choose from but this has always been my favorite Steinlen cat. 1909. emuseum.mfah.org/objects/4936...
Color lithograph print of a brown classic tabby lying on a wooden railing, one back leg dangling down. The coat is rich and beautiful, shades of black and brown creating tiger strips on the legs and making a classic tabby swirl on the abdomen. It has intense yellow eyes. Behind it is a wall of foliage, every done is warm, golden tones.
