A friend's husband took this shot of the Northern Lights last night in the same community I live in, but they live on a lake. Just stunning!

I'm all for killing with kindness as long as people actually die

Jay Kuo explains why the current attempt of the Republican Party in Ohio to steal democracy has national implications — and what we can do to fight back, in particular, what Ohioans can do.

Okay enough trying to sleep. Nightmares win this round.

Frank saw this shit coming 35 years ago.

It never fails…Republicans always get caught doing exactly the thing they’re accusing the other side of doing.

Recent Strong Solar
Geomagnetic Storms

If you are feeling a little off,
this may be why.

THE STORM IS SUBSIDING: A severe G4-class geomagnetic storm that sparked auroras over Europe, China, and most of the United States on April 23-24 is subsiding. The storm was caused by a CME hitting Earth's magnetic field. Minor (G1) to moderate (G2) geomagnetic storms remain possible on March 24-25 as Earth exits the CME's wake.

exactly. indifference is always worse than outright malice. malice you can fight. how do you "fight" detachment and not caring enough?

my only hope is more wake up to what is happening and do care enough to do something as simple as voting

With Tucker out at Fox I can now think back fondly to the segments he did about me and my team when I was running Snopes and the years of death threats that followed. Hope he's having a really shitty day

Inciting a bloody insurrection on his own nation wasn't the line.

Fomenting hatred for trans people and starting a genocide wasn't the line.

Inspiring a psychopath to smash in an octogenarian's skull with a hammer wasn't the line.

Costing Fox News $780,000,000 was the line.

Remember this when they claim they fired Tucker for "ethical" reasons.

Traditional libraries inaugurated this work, founded it, and are advancing it all the time... as anyone can see, there's a kajillion libraries in the consortium alongside IA. You're right, people don't understand this!

Retired Georgetown Law librarian and copyright expert Michelle Wu, who wrote the original paper upon which CDL is based, absolutely killed it at the Nation just a few days ago:
