tbh, i don’t aim to accomplish much. not everything must be leveraged for “accomplishment.” i think so much of what makes us human is found in things you can’t reduce to function or value. we use social media for all sorts of things; if those things matter to good-faith users, that’s enough.

Breaking News: The reformist Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran’s presidential runoff election, reflecting discontent with hard-line policies. The special election was held after former President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in May.

There is some kind of longhorn beetle absolutely VIBING in the anthers of my Easter lily cactus flower. I can't ID it because the pollen makes it look like a beetle-shaped Cheeto™️, but can you IMAGINE what it would be like to be this beetle? Just rolling in a giant funnel of your favorite food. #虫 🌱

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.
There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

My mom (who is Biden's age) sent panicked texts during the debate and is now sending texts about Stephanopoulos being a jerk who only asked about Biden's age and nothing of substance.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

I want to bop all the doubters and leakers over the head with a copy of Project 2025. There's very little time to waste and they're just making things harder! If you had doubts about Biden's chances, you should've spoken up earlier. What everyone in the party should be doing NOW is 👇

I mean, I look at the structural stuff, not the narrative here. The polls have barely moved, Trump has no money, and Biden has a huge war chest and time booked. Why let the panic of a few people- largely driven by people that already don’t like Biden- shape what I’m thinking here?

The Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanager (Anisognathus igniventris) is such a lovely bird. These are little more shy than the other mountain tanagers and it's nice when one poses for you. Colombia.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

The press told one story for weeks and weeks: BIDEN OLD. Now, they’re reaping the conclusion. “See? We told you! Biden old.”Based on a debate performance and weeks of “preparation” for this story. Whatever happens next should be based solely on facts and analysis, not panicky “opinions.”

The Telegraph reports that Keir Starmer, on his first day as Prime Minister, is scrapping the "Rwanda scheme,' the Tory plan to deport all asylum seekers & undocumented immigrants to Rwanda wherever they are from.

Heard the Heritage goon behind the right wing junta 2025 project on NPR today. Asked why the authoritarian agenda is opposed to action to limit global warming. Answer: "Because of those poor children mining rare earth minerals in Africa. Think of the children." Shameless and sickening.

It's always a highlight of my day when I get to see a Least Bittern. These birds are uncommon here and hard to find in the wetlands. This male is making a short flight, flying low over the lily pads and knocking down the morning dew from a cattail.

For everyone on here that is worried that voters are as willfully credulous as our news media, the Biden campaign understands that Trumps post about Project 2025 is an admission of vulnerability and they are leaning in harder on tying him to it.
