At London’s Savoy Hotel, Monet painted dozens of canvases at once, sprinting between them as fog and light shifted over the Thames.

A witness said: “He ran from one canvas to another, in a frenzy, trying to capture the fugitive effects of light before they vanished.”

While others glorified kings and battles, Monet glorified mornings, mist, and poplars.🌳

As art critic Séverin Faust put it: “He made the ordinary eternal.”

Here’s my face and here’s a movement. Do I have mitochondrial challenges, or am I just reacting normally to our country being run by self-serving nutters? Asking for a friend #CatsWereWatching @hcrichardson.bsky.social

This is an excellent – and sadly, rare – response by a reporter to the Trump regime's evasion of a question and attempt to stick a canned statement into a news story. In many cases like this, reporters from mainstream media have repeated the Trumpers' dishonest spin. Hurray that Jessica refused to.
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Proud of my former staffer, Ed Shelleby, for calling out Sen Mike Lee’s despicable tweets about the assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman. This is beneath his office and Lee should apologize.

For everybody just now learning the name (and strong ethics!) of the wonderful Senate staffer Ed Shelleby, here is a delightful conversation between him and his previous boss:

White House blames 'formatting' for errors in RFK Jr.'s MAHA report. Authors push back.
Researchers listed in the MAHA report have come forward since its publication saying the articles cited don't exist or were used inaccurately.

Agreed, and also, transphobes should stop using semiconductors.

Wrote this on Friday about the dynamics that pushed the vote to this weekend. The core theory holds: the more cruel the bill gets to appease the maximum-cruelty Rs, the more public outcry can squeeze the this-could-cost-me-my-job Rs.

So, call. Protest. Make this the biggest story.
