This is a phrase I’ll hold onto: “Nosotros no estamos solos—somos los primeros. Somos los primeros.”

The irony is physically painful.

Strikes me that the nuclear powered ladies of old* were all great doers. As their fingers scrambled over the needles & the wool was compliant to their will, they mused over justice. There was a reason that knitters circled Mademoiselle Guillotine! The truth is in the yarn…

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Putin gave Trump a 6-week deadline to complete his assignment of destroying the U.S. as a world power and serious competitor.

Or else....the Epstein files....

Same.

Solution to Iran is to work directly for Russia? You ok with this, America?

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

And I had an otherwise progressive friend who excused Maher's platforming anti-vaxxers -- which my friend knew SO much better-then) because "he's funny," and "woke/pronouns."

Smh

"Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly confirmed reports that Trump had made admiring statements about Hitler"

Just meditate on that a sec

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

If Hegseth gave a shit about our troops, he would know that.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Why is it that all those staunch UK patriots waving flags and shouting about ‘taking back control’ are urging us to be subservient to a foreign power and join them in an illegal war?

The experts put the probability of wider war at 20 to 30 percent. The WW3 Risk Index rates us at HIGH right now, above 60 out of 100. We are closer to World War III than we've been since 1945. These aren't my opinions. These are measurements from people who track this daily.

The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

I am not an aggressive person, but he seems like the Pure Platonic Idea of "a face that invites punching."

Could say other things, more Freudian in nature, about how I perceive his psychology, but to avoid offense, this placeholder instead. :-/

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.

The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.

Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.
