Since Trump's election to a second term, America's global reputation has fallen precipitously.
According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world.
The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.
Republicans said no.
So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.

sudden urge to share @mcnees.bsky.social 🧵 on Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. Her X-ray diffraction work was critical for establishing the helical nature of DNA. 👩🔬 🧪
Work carried out by Franklin (with doctoral student Raymond Gosling) was given to Watson and Crick without her consent.

World's biggest spiderweb discovered inside 'Sulfur Cave' with 111,000 arachnids living in pitch black
A giant colonial spiderweb in a sulfuric cave on the border between Greece and Albania may be the largest ever found — and it was built by spiders we didn't know liked the company of others.

I've no sympathy for him at all, only the victims, but it's so hard to accept many Americans calling for more, when they've their own version of Andrew installed as President.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

I seriously think the Jays are a great and timely model of healthy masculinity. Selfless devotion to the common good, positive affection (they hug a lot), not a lot of ego, and there's room to be hyper-competitive and possibly unhinged (Max Scherzer) without being toxic. They are good!
“The way that we see the #BlueJays being presented as a friendly, inclusive, cohesive unit, which is really lovely, is also speaking volumes on what's happening globally and politically in those two different countries, where we're not seeing that inclusivity.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t have provoked him…”
Doing the bare minimum to stand up to a bully criminal isn’t “provoking him.” It’s refusing to be a complete and total coward.
Like all bullies, he’s counting on your fear, and too many have accommodated him.
