A picture of a smoke alarm on a gray ceiling with streaks of dim light. The text reads: Time machine. Can't bring you backwards or forwards. Can give you the minutes you need to escape your home alive. Check/change your smoke alarm batteries.
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to get a ticket for throwing a smoke alarm out the window of your car.
The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon.
If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking."
If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step.

This week's episode of The AP Strange Show is a celebration of women throughout history who have helped make the study of the paranormal what it is, with guest Allison Jornlin discussing some of the ones she's written about on her website!
It was a great chat!

In the foreground is a bare tree, with branches zig-zagging up at a 45 degree angle to the right. In the sky behind it is a glowing aurora, which roughly follows the line of the branches.

![From the Strib: Both Camacho's son and Aljorna's 18-month-old were relinquished to friends the next day under legal documents called a Delegation of Parental Authority (DOPA). They immediately returned the children to their respective
grandmothers, who share an apartment in the Twin Cities. None of the occupants or their relatives were allowed back into the duplex, now an active crime scene, so the children could not
retrieve any belongings. In the days that followed, Camacho's little boy asked his teacher to deliver some toys - a dinosaur, Play Doh and a Lightning
McQueen car. His grandmother had another request: a baby bottle. The 18- month-old had not yet mastered drinking from an open cup, and the family did not feel safe leaving their apartment to go buy a
bottle. Tricia Armstrong, a speech therapist who began working with the older boy last spring, dropped off the groceries and a few
extras. "They're a wonderful family," she said, lambasting the DHS' attempt to paint them as "evil criminals" in their statements about the shooting. "The way it's spun makes it seem like [Sosa- Celis] is one of these dangerous, murdering rapist gang members
from Venezuela."
In reality, he has no criminal record beyond driving infractions.

One horror in this Strib story on ICE’s lies & violence against a North Minneapolis family hit home to this grandparent: an 18-month who couldn’t be fed for 24 hours because their mom was kidnapped & the grandmas couldn't leave their house to buy a baby bottle. www.startribune.com/federal-agen...
Anyway, please read my report—which is a culmination of nearly a year of work—and subscribe to The Handbasket:
screenshot of tweet from Lockheed Martin's twitter account: https://x.com/LockheedMartin/status/2030041232144056525 Text: We have agreed to quadruple critical munitions production. As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago with @SecWar Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Feinberg. Includes screenshot of Trump post on Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116184185735585906 Text: We just concluded a very good meeting with the largest U.S. Defense Manufacturing Companies where we discussed Production and Production Schedules. They have agreed to quadruple Production of the “Exquisite Class” Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity. Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way. We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela. Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels. The Companies represented were the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months. States all over the Country are bidding for these new Plants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
They "began this work months ago" ?
Cosigning yours
🥰
And hopefully the outrage and reaction is the same as when the white people are killed …
WHAT @bergmaster5000.bsky.social is on my TV!!
(Most recent episode of Ghosts)
An old-fashioned locomotive covered in clocks hurtling through space. Potato the dog is riding on the back in a space helmet. Potato says, "Potato to Corginia! Come in Corginia!" A small frog in the front of the train says, "Tell them you're bringing a frog in a hat!" The text reads: Hurray! It's the daylight saving time smoke alarm time machine train. Choo! Choo! Choose to check your smoke alarm batteries! Change your smoke alarm batteries this weekend! Replace your smoke alarm every 10 years!
THE CLOCKS
They're changing. It's time to do the clock thing. That means it's time to check your smoke alarms.
Heard DKM play “men behind the wire” today. Been singing that chorus for a couple months now.
Not only did the economy miss by over 150,000 jobs, but they also revised the previous two months down by 65,000+.
The economy is dead, and Trump is trying to 'Weekend at Bernie's' it with the stock market. www.npr.org/2026/03/06/n...
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
I live in a state that bans all abortion and is trying to stop people from even educating people about abortion/reproduction options, so head here and get some free stickers to spread the word on how to get abortion pills by mail in ANY state 👇

Okay this made me cry
I'm pretty sure this is my favorite shot from this winter (so far)
I have found some on Etsy - but the site really doesn't care if you're looking for a mumu or a caftan - it will serve up both
Lmao
I love Cormorants ! Took this photo up at Voyageurs National Park - and happened to get a pic of a loon on the same day, which is NOT easy those birbs are fast and sneaky (and I was in a canoe)
(Hey, @kipstergull.bsky.social - relevant to your interests 😂)
....cousin??
Hey, now! Don't underestimate the loon!
But, Kehaar is my favorite fictional bird, so I do get the appeal of gulls.
With the US military spending $1 billion a day on a pedophile's whims, remember that the UN estimates that it costs about $93 billion to end world hunger.
The *first* 93 days of this decade+ war, could be spent ending world hunger, if anyone in power actually wanted to

There is a popular version of the Rebel Loon floating around that makes me think more folks need this refresher
There will be more!!! It was a hit!
