Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

The 14th Amendment, section 3, already says that, but people couldn’t figure out a way to enforce it. constitutioncenter.org/the-constitu...

Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.”

Temple Israel supports the genocide of Muslims. They have an absolute right under international law to fight back by any means necessary. We apologize if equal rights for Muslims offends you.

A June 4 memo to staff from the Kennedy Center's Office of General Counsel said email signatures, letterhead and other documents must reflect the name as "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" or "Kennedy Center."

The Kennedy Center's website has dropped Trump's name.

Poster says: “ Israel is the biggest antisemite Zionist county.

No one attacks Jews. People are not stupid.
Jews follow Judaism.
Stealing lands, expanding territory and/or genocide don’t belong to Jewish practice.
It’s a Zionism!”

“ Many American Jews despise Israel.
Jews are not the problem.
Evil Zionists are the problem!”

You’re still using male pronouns. You are misinformed about who was “pok[ing] media.” It wasn’t Allison Gill. It was two men in Fortune magazine.

“Dr. Allison Gill. Allison Gill is a veteran, a Ph.D. …”

@mercurynews.com The Victorian era was 1837-1901. During the time, Britain had one monarch. Her name was Queen Victoria, and she didn‘t die of TB. So who are these “Victorian-era monarchs” & who associates them with TB? I think of starving artists & tragic characters in novels when I think of TB.

“Tuberculosis, the bacteria associated with the deaths of Victorian-era monarchs …”

@bcdreyer.social Did you see that @newyorker.com successfully executed the quote within a quote within a quote? Would you let a writer do that (assuming the punctuation was correct) or would you encourage them to rewrite the sentence? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Gina Hinojosa, his deputy campaign manager (no relation to the gubernatorial candidate), told me, “All the D.C. consultants in the world can tell James, ‘Just say, “Groceries, groceries, groceries,” ’ and he’ll say, ‘No, it’s “Healing, healing, healing.” ’ ”

The president is the president. He’s not in line to succeed himself. 1st. VP 2nd. Speaker of the House www.usa.gov/presidential...

What determines the presidential order of succession
The U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outline the presidential line of succession. The line of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies’ creation.
1. Vice President
2. Speaker of the House
3. President Pro Tempore of the Senate

“Understanding Jewish traditions” This guy doesn’t know the first thing about Hanukkah. “Multiplying your ministry impact with Jewish friends, family, and communities.” Does this mean trying to convert us? Further down: “demonstrates genuine respect” Really?

[picture of alleged Hanukkiyah with only six branches]

Why Understanding Jewish Traditions Matters

Understanding Jewish traditions is more than an academic exercise—it’s a vital step toward building trust, correcting misconceptions, and multiplying your ministry impact with Jewish friends, family, and communities. For Christians, this knowledge opens doors to deeper relationships and more meaningful conversations about faith.

Sounds as if she’s worried she could face additional charges.

In return for her cooperation, Maxwell requested immunity from further criminal proceedings and to receive questions in advance. Comer said both immunity and advanced notice was a nonstarter.

The British Library is our great national home of cultural workers. We go there to read and research, to learn and to grow, to write and to think, to inspire and create. Facilitating our work is a great army of library staff, who are also cultural workers. Without them, the library does not function, the books do not get read, the culture does not come to pass. And how are they treated? According to their union, they are offered pay deals so dire that many of them work multiple jobs and live in substandard housing. Seventy one per cent of respondents to a union survey find their salary insufficient to meet basic needs. Some workers report mental and physical health deterioration as a consequence of these poverty wages.

I think I made a reasonable Google search: baseball win 7 game series after down 0-3. Google’s AI gave a contradictory answer. #AI_fail @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social

AI Overview

No baseball team has ever won a best-of-seven series after being down 0-3, but one team, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, came back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series, which was the ALCS against the New York Yankees. This comeback is the only one of its kind in MLB postseason history and is often called the "greatest comeback in sports history".
You can watch this video to learn more about the 2004 ALCS comeback:

There are protests next Saturday. Humanity will be there. The fascists are saying it will be a terrorist gathering, a criminal conspiracy, a violent uprising.
So let's be criminals, by which I mean let's be antifascists, by which I mean let's be humans. Let's be wise and normal and silly and joyous and brave and hopeful.
Let's all wave hello to each other.
