Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil won't ease sky rocking gas prices in Michigan and across the country. It will, however, help fund Putin's war machine in Ukraine.

As Sen. Chris Coons said this week, the only clear winner in this war with Iran is Russia.

A bird perched on a sunbleached bit of log, looking down. The bird has a black and white head (black crest, black eye stripe, black chin, with white above and below the dark eye). The black beak is short and pointed. The breast and belly range from white to dirty white. The visible portion of the back, folded wings, and tail are black. The background is a blurry pattern of light and dark brown.

In case anyone out there is going through a "cute" deficit. A mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) at Capulin Spring in the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico on March 13, 2026.

Equating hereditary privilege with groups that face actual discrimination is the sort of thing that will bring the guillotine back into fashion

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

A collage of four photos of jewelry made from dyed tigerseye, rainbow hematite stars, and swirly silver wire. There are two pendants, a pair of earrings, and a very elaborate cascade necklace.

It’s overcast here so I can’t get the colors to show up as well as I’d like in photos, but these four pieces are up on the website now! wyrdingstudios.com

Quote tweeted tweet New tweet: “Friends of Bear Cat Rescue @feeder... •2h We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us. all these kittens are still here. Please share. SF Bay Area” Quoting older tweet: “Friends of Bear Cat Rescue • 3/1/26 SF BAY AREA it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue. They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies. Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting” [pictures of adorable kittens]

🚨 SF area! (And anyone who can share). @friendsofbear.bsky.social (feederofcats) over on Twitter needs your help!
Adopt! Spread the word!

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

we’ve run this same playbook with Trump for years where he says an awful thing, the press tries to give everyone the idea that it wasn’t as bad as he said, and then he comes out and says “no I meant that and worse”

even the people you’re covering for don’t want you to cover for them

stop it

A ladder placed safely on the ground. Five black cats sit upon the ladder like they're in some kind of children's story about black cats. The text reads: Friday the 13th when you always land on your feet. If you are not a cat: Place your ladder on a firm, flat surface. Always have a spotter.

Five black cats upon a ladder sat,

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

IDK who needs to know this, but...

When you call one of Senator Adam Schiff's local CA offices and he starts droning on, wait until he says "I got a few options for ya" and hit THREE.

That transfers you to speak to a live human being instantly. (You might be put on hold, ofc).

Just press 3.
