"When you’ve got a four (!) times indicted, twice-impeached former president attempting a democracy-threatening comeback bleating insane threats at witnesses while promising to tear down the Western alliance and the rule of law if he regains power . . . people need real talk."

at least 2x a day Eli (my 90 lbs golden retriever, who likes to lie in front of the window air conditioner meant to cool me) manages to swing his big butt onto one of my monitor cables and disconnect the monitor. 😂
One of these days I'll mount the cords out of the way, but the fix is so simple that the ROI simply hasn't made sense...yet.
RT @erinalberty: Yup Utah gas prices are going back up — and this time it's due to excessive heat hindering refineries in the gulf coast. https://t.co/zRYx1Sn4w3
You're Looking at One of the Farthest Confirmed Galaxies Found by JWST
After JWST launched, astronomers were racing to discover the farthest galaxies, seen just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. Although several early galaxies were announced, everyone was waiting for detailed analysis to know for sure. One of these, nicknamed "Maisie's galaxy, " was spectroscopically confirmed to be 390 million years old when it released its light, with a redshift of z=11.4. This record will be broken soon, as the discovery team is analyzing ten other galaxies thought to be even older.
On Serious Trouble, we’ve got Judge Chutkan and restrictions on Trump’s use of discovery, Twitter sanctioned for resisting a subpoena for Trump’s data, SBF jailed, Rudy Giuliani spelling and thinking badly, and rich little shits misbehaving. BUT we’re recording another episode today about Georgia!

The abject failure of today's national media to call out GOP's march towards fascism is a potential death knell for a free press
If they get away with this attack on the #FreePress - no one is safe!

Started a little experiment this summer. In the end, I'm not sure if it'll be enough soil for the moonflowers I planted in the hanging basket but I've managed to train it up my improvised twine trellis. Payoff will be if it blooms because moonflower flowers are huge. The spikes at the base along with cayenne pepper are squirrel deterrent b/c one of them likes to dig at the plant base and exposes the root ball.

I know I'm just a liberal dipweed, but can you imagine the world we could have if instead of making war we made hospitals and universities and theaters? What if all that money were put into housing people instead of blowing them up?
Imagine all that energy focussed on making things good rather than bad.
There should be NO fucking copyright that lasts longer than 70 years, period.

Who benefits?
Good morning and happy Monday, folks.
New week, new adventures and only 5 days of work ahead before our office will be closed for one week.
