This was one of two wild Barred Owls that lived (and may still live) near a nature center and rehab facility on the west side of Cleveland. I photographed this one in 2018. #birds, #photography

If Mitch McConnell kicks the bucket, Andy Beshear should honor Mitch's legacy by holding his seat open for a year and then appointing a democrat.

Last week, Elon Musk's staff illegally breached the U.S. Treasury payment system and gained access to millions of Americans' personal data.

We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee.

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."
REPORTER: Does Musk or anyone at DOGE have direct access through the government systems to how money is dispersed?

TRUMP: No. Nothing.

Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Acosta is a class act. It’s unfortunate it had to end this way, but the closing message was on point. Bravo, Jim.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

Funny how this kitchen corner was years in the making. First, I reconfigured the kitchen, moved the cabinets, painted them, removed the tile countertops, stained and added butcher block countertops & a new sink. Years later, added the window and shelves. Anything worth doing takes time.

How can this be justified?
President Trump on Tuesday granted a pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road drug marketplace and a cult hero in the cryptocurrency and libertarian worlds. Ulbricht was serving a life sentence for creating a site to sell heroin, cocaine and other illicit substances. nyti.ms/42ok5qL

At this point I feel like Elon could scream I AM A NAZI and people would still be like, let’s look at this from a more nuanced position.

If I accidentally did a Nazi salute on TV and I had 1/2 a trillion dollars, I would take out full page ads in every newspaper and commercials on every network to apologize and explain myself, then I would donate a ton of money to a Jewish aid group or something.

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.
It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

Looks like Apple thinks Trump’s executive order on TikTok is not all that and takes the actual law passed by Congress and affirmed by the Supreme Court seriously — you cannot download the app or other ByteDance apps.

Just joined StoryGraph. It’s a great replacement for Amazon-owned Goodreads. You can import your Goodreads history as a CSV file, if you, like me, use it partly to remember what the heck you’ve been reading. Hit me up if you need instructions.
