At this point, I fear the #Epsteinfiles ARE the distraction, deflecting focus from Boss Tweet's ongoing crimes. Do I think they will be his Watergate? No more than fomenting the insurrection was, or "Grab 'em by the pussy" was, or "suckers and losers" was. And I doubt he'll ever stand trial. #Trump

During the #Brewers game yesterday vs #PaulSkenes and the #PittsburghPirates, my nephew texted me, "Twice now the crew has made him look human." Amen.

Q: Do we really think the #epsteinfiles will be this century's Watergate, forcing #TACO out? If not, we should focus on the damage being done in Washington now, not the crimes #DonaldTrump committed as a civilian. Maybe the files are the distraction (much as I believe they should be released).

Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court is allowing him to eviscerate the Constitution as we know it. We cannot stay silent.

Nice to see people finally discovering that you can be deeply involved in getting a bill passed even if you're not the prime sponsor. Such a shame no one realized that before the primary when Zohran's experience was questioned because he'd only "passed" 3 bills. (Screenshot from Politico)

This was the turnout a the last self-aggrandising parade that #PieceOfShit #TacoTrump held for himself. If he succeeds in intimidating the military to hold his much desired birthday wank make the turnout even fewer, people.

My great friend, the documentary filmmaker Bob Richter, died yesterday, peacefully. His movies were all about peace, and our responsibilities to each other and our habitat. Rest in peace, Bob, which you advocated so eloquently.

As LA burns, a puny question: Did it bother anybody else that the 6 *scientists* in the Pasadena-based sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" gave no thought to their carbon footprints? Careless consumers, they ate take-out nightly, using plastic utensils. #takeout #thebigbangtheory #lafires #plasticpollution

Well done, Peter Kalmus, for taking responsibility for the risky decision to live in a semi-arid ecosystem, a risk that is only increasing with climate change.
A few years ago, my friend, outspoken climate scientist Peter Kalmus @climatehuman.bsky.social, moved his family out of LA because he could extrapolate from the data. This week the house where he raised his kids burned down.

His words for us all (gift link):
