Watching the footage from the hundreds of #nokings marches around the country today gives me hope we can pull this country back from fascism after all, but boy this is going to take a lot of dedicated, focused work.

This is something I've *definitely* noticed that the right no longer understands.

"If you are an American, your heritage is either Native American, slave, refugee, or immigrant.  That's it."  Next to this text is a black-and-white photograph of a man with a hard hat and work clothes smoking a cigarette.

@tubemapper I recognize that station! While on holiday in London that station was our base for train trips elsewhere in the city and beyond. Here is a favorite photo I took on a Sunday morning.

A black and white photo of the Sloan Square tube station. No trains, just empty tracks. No people save one gentleman seated on the opposite side.

@Sheril Howdy! I am currently reading Henry V by Dan Jones. I have Pachinko, but haven’t read it yet. Maybe soon…

@clarebee After the November elections in the US I calmly deleted the news app on my phone and no longer follow the news. I doubt the world is calmer, but I am and am much more at peace. Not taking it personally is hard, but not impossible.

Good article on “Ghost Hurricanes”. Each season many post model runs showing potential storms impacting areas for click bait. After a few updated runs, the storm is gone. Models are always changing. Do not buy into the hype, trust your meteorologists. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/05/wea

For a while now, whenever I read or watch news pieces and pundit discussions about “the economy” I always think of this…

A post by Master of Lillusions (@onyxaminedlife) has been placed over a background showing a beautiful pink sunset over a marina. An object in the foreground is a big yacht. 

The post is in black text over a white background superimposed on the marina shot.

The text reads:

Replacing the words “the economy” with “rich people’s yacht money”
- How can we respond to COVID without sacrificing rich people’s yacht money?
- Saving the environment sounds nice but what about rich people’s yacht money? 
- Medicare for all would destroy rich people’s yacht money

@North It’s always been standard behavior for me in art galleries to assure the wardens that I am not going to touch the Van Gogh, which you could totally touch in the d’Orsay. Assures me too.

@gparenti As doge has fired about one third of the IRS auditors recently, I wouldn’t be worried (from a CPA of 35+ years).

@opalmirror I’m sure they were disappointed to find the larder empty.
