I figured this YTD Thermo Fisher stock chart might add a little color to the sordid tale The circled area indicates when Trump bought the stock and it subsequent run. The stock is now lower than it was, when Trump did the pump. I’m curious if was followed by dump before it fizzled? #USPolitics

Yahoo Finance chart for Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) showing the stock price at close on May 21, 2026 of $449.21, down $0.16 (-0.04%). The chart covers approximately January through early June 2026. The stock peaked near $650 in late January before declining steeply through February and March to a trough around $465. A hand-drawn oval annotation highlights a recovery period from late March through early May, during which the stock rebounded to approximately $530 before pulling back again to the current $449 level. Volume bars are shown at the bottom of the chart, with elevated trading activity visible during the February decline and the April recovery. The current price of $449.21 is marked with a red dot at the far right of the chart.

Best to you and your family Pete. #Easter is a beautiful time of year. Spring flowers remind me of Jesus’s ideas of compassion and community. Both are wondrous perfections free to be embraced by all. #SpringFlowers #Flowers

I hate to see my name getting dragged into this mess #USPolitics #Cartoon

Standard (accessibility-focused):
A six-panel editorial cartoon by Jack Ohman (Tribune Content Agency, dated 3/6/2026) titled "Why Did We Attack Iran?" A caricature of Donald Trump offers a series of shifting justifications — Iran was going to attack us; regime change; Iran was developing a nuclear weapon — each undercut by his own admissions ("...or not," "...kinda," "...after I obliterated it"). In the lower panels, he claims Iran is run by "crazy lunatics" and that he pushed Israel, not the other way around. A second figure lists alternative explanations — deflecting from polls, Epstein, ICE, the economy, the Kennedy Center, the East Wing ballroom, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, and his "grifting crime family." Trump responds: "WRONG! ...You know I do everything irrationally!"

Outside the homestead today in #NYC #Snowdat #Snow

A snow-covered residential street in New York City, looking north along East 85th Street after a heavy overnight snowfall. A single narrow lane has been cleared down the centre of the road, flanked on both sides by parked cars buried under thick snow. The footpaths are uncleared. Bare-branched trees line both sides of the street, their limbs heavily laden with snow and arching overhead to form a canopy. Red-brick apartment buildings and a dark stone church or institutional building are visible on either side. Traffic lights are visible in the far distance through the grey, overcast sky. The scene is quiet and almost entirely empty of people.

If the Federal minimum wage, last raised to $7.25 in 2009, is adjusted for #inflation it should now sit at somewhere in the $10.67 - $11.16 range That calc is based on cost of living adjustments from the Social Security administration or the Consumer Price Index.

$7.25 in 2009 would be worth approximately $11.18 at the end of 2025 using CPI inflation rates, representing a cumulative increase of about 54.2%.
Comparison:
• Social Security COLA adjustments: $10.67 (47.2% increase)
• CPI inflation: $11.18 (54.2% increase)

Here’s the inflation chart since the start of Trump’s 2nd term courtesy of the Cleveland Fed. That trend line seems to be at odds with the barrage of blather #USPolitics #Inflation Link: www.clevelandfed.org/center-for-i...

Maybe I should revise that to appointed and elected political representatives. Any citizen can declare they are running for President, however to get on the ballot you need to be approved by Oireachtas members or 4 county councils -see image below #IrishPolitics

Image showing requirements to be nominated as an Irish Presidential candidate

Who can run for President of Ireland?
To be eligible for election as President, you must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. You must be nominated either by:

At least 20 members of the Oireachtas
At least 4 local authorities
Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves

Hi Ingrid, I’m listening to ‘Democracy For Sale’ by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social Peter presents a lucid picture of how shadowy figures, untethered from ethical constraints, and flush with #DarkMoney, can capture a democracy I now need to buy the print version for a deeper read

Book cover of Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics by Peter Geoghegan. The background is bright blue, with two rustic wooden signs hanging on chains. The top sign reads “PETER GEOGHEGAN” in red capital letters. Below it, a larger sign displays “DEMOCRACY FOR SALE” — “DEMOCRACY” in red on a white background and “FOR SALE” in white on a red background. At the top, there is a quote by Carole Cadwalladr: “Essential reading for anyone who wants to make sense of our politics.” Another quote below the author’s name by Fintan O’Toole reads: “As urgent as it is illuminating.” At the bottom, white text reads: “DARK MONEY AND DIRTY POLITICS.”

3) Those with a sweet tooth will be satisfied with a plate of Kaiserschmarrn which according to Wikipedia translates to “Emperor’s Mess” and was named after FranzJoseph I who was fond of this lightly sweetened pancake dish #SouthTyrol #Tyrol #food #Italy #SouthTyrol #Italy #Tyrol #Food

A white plate containing Kaiserschmarrn, a traditional Austrian shredded pancake dish, with golden-brown torn pieces of pancake dusted with powdered sugar. A dollop of dark red berry compote is visible on the side of the plate. A fork holds a bite of the pancake with fruit on top. The plate sits on a rustic wooden table alongside empty beer glasses

1) #SouthTyrol is a fabulous #walking destination. Here’s a view from above #Hafling Dorf. The meadows are a healthy mix of wildflower #biodiversity #Hiking #Italy #Tyrol

A panoramic view of Hafling Dorf in South Tyrol, featuring rolling green hills dotted with wildflowers in the foreground, winding country roads, and clusters of traditional alpine houses on the hillsides. Dense forests cover parts of the landscape, with layers of blue mountains and dramatic, cloud-filled skies rising in the background.

6) Great campaigns start with listening not telling. That is how real persuasion happens. I don’t know if @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social read ‘How Minds Change’ by @davidmcraney.bsky.social but it certainly feels like #Zohran was deploying some of the ideas in this must read book #USPolitics

2) As one of #NYC’s 3 million plus foreign born residents, I feel revulsion for the #ICE interference with immigration courts. Such actions will drive immigrants further underground #USPolitics

A table showing the place of birth statistics for NYC’s population of 8,516,202.

The breakdown is as follows: 48.3% (4,112,444) were born in New York State,
11.7% (993,212) were born outside New York State,
3.6% (302,494) were born in Puerto Rico, U.S. Island areas, or abroad to American parents,
36.5% (3,108,052) are foreign-born. The percentage 36.5% is highlighted at the top and at the bottom of the table.

The cruelty and arbitrariness of these deportations are, of course, the point. We still, for now, can haul heartless types like #KristiNoem before committee in Congress to watch her stonewall. The question is whether that ability will continue and whether she will be held to account. #USPolitics

This image shows Cruella de Vil from Disney's "101 Dalmatians" in an animated style. She's depicted with her signature dramatic appearance - wild black and white hair, pale skin, and a menacing grin showing her teeth. She's wearing what appears to be a fur coat with a jagged, flame-like pattern at the bottom. Her distinctive green earrings are visible, and she has that characteristic villainous expression with narrowed eyes.
The background appears to be dark and atmospheric, with reddish lighting and what looks like an indoor setting, possibly suggesting a sinister or dramatic scene. The art style appears to be from one of Disney's animated adaptations, with bold colors and sharp, angular design elements that emphasize her role as the story's antagonist. The overall composition captures Cruella's iconic status as one of Disney's most recognizable villains.

Boxwood is flowering in #CentralPark #NYC #NewYork

This photo shows a group of dogwood flowers, likely from a Cornus kousa (Kousa dogwood) plant. The flowers are creamy white and arranged with four pointed petal-like bracts surrounding a central greenish cluster of true flowers. The surrounding foliage consists of lush, dark green, oval-shaped leaves with prominent veins. The flowers appear to be in full bloom, giving the scene a dense and elegant ground-cover look, typical of ornamental dogwood species in gardens or shaded woodland landscapes.

At this rate, it will look like Andreevsky Hall in no time We’re glad Vlad #Putin interior designers are working hard on behalf of President #Trump. It gives the Oval Office that real Russian minion feel #USPolitics

Ornate, grand interior view of Andreevsky Hall in the Grand Kremlin Palace, Moscow. The hall features high vaulted ceilings richly decorated with gold leaf and intricate patterns, massive gilded columns, and sparkling crystal chandeliers. The polished parquet floor reflects the golden light, with elaborate inlaid designs and a central motif. Large arched windows with teal drapery line the walls, and the far end of the hall displays a golden throne beneath a domed arch, symbolizing the hall’s historic role as the imperial throne room dedicated to the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called

America is populated with low-information voters I don't say that in some sneering way, it's just a reality created and encouraged by those who prefer to undermine rather than encourage #democracy The #Trump administration reflects the apotheosis of this ugly self-interested cynicism #USPolitics

A person is holding a protest sign that reads, "President Felon was elected by LOW INFORMATION VOTERS." The text is printed in blue and red capital letters, with "LOW INFORMATION VOTERS" emphasized in bold red. The background is blurred, showing a group of people, suggesting a public or protest setting.

In 1933, Albert Einstein left Germany for Princeton in response to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Now, 92 years later, the #Trump war on universities is triggering a reversion. Their are consequences to nihilism, authoritarianism and the closing of the American mind #USPolitics #EUPolitics

Black and white portrait of Albert Einstein with tousled hair, wearing a sweater, resting his face on his hand, and gazing thoughtfully at the camera. Bookshelves filled with papers and books are visible in the background.

#DonaldTrump, super genius. Just like #WileECoyote Unlike every other successful person I know, he never makes a mistake and he is never ever to blame for anything #USPolitics

A cartoon image of a hand holding a white business card against a red background. The card reads:
“Wile E. Coyote”

The hand belongs to the character Wile E. Coyote from the Looney Tunes animated series.
