I remember getting off a train in Madrid in the summer of 1972 and seeing soldiers with rifles. Is this how the residents and visitors feel when they ride the subway in Washington, DC, today?

Who doesn’t miss Elon Musk in the news every day? Unfortunately, we’ll be living with the damage he and his minions did for the rest of our lives.

Lyndon Johnson sent the national guard to protect civil rights protesters. Donald Trump sent the national guard as an excuse to not hold midterm elections.

It’s starting to look like Trump lied to us about the grocery.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

I’ve been looking at the news for a while this morning and haven’t seen reports of Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein files yet today. Where are the Epstein files?

In the past Field Mycology was only available via paid subscription- it is now available online free to all. This should help those developing an interest in fungi recording. If you have ideas about the sort of content that you would find useful then now is the time to give Clare your feedback!

Oops. Apparently, I said something over on Threads that got me suspended for a couple days. Bluesky is a friendlier place, but I don't post political stuff over here too often.

What country would be foolish enough to send their citizens to the U.S. next year for the World Cup? Will travel visas even be available?

What’s the difference between Trump calling Georgia Governor Kemp asking him to find 11,780 votes, and Trump calling Texas Governor Abbott asking for 5 guaranteed Republican seats in Congress? It’s still election interference whether it’s before or after.

I really don’t like these “compostable” produce bags. First off, it says right on the front that it’s plastic. This bag shredded after on a week. The lettuce didn’t look so great either. Help me understand how this helps the environment.

This barrel cactus sat in our kitchen window for 20 years. Repotted twice, it’s now approaching 30-35 years old and has expanded to 14 inches across. Not bloomed yet.
