- Trump fails to understand that “gifts” like this are not “free of charge” which is wht the Founding Fathers wrote the emoluments clause into the Constitution. Fast legal action is called for here. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...
- This cannot stand. #griftforceone
- I have, naturally, been getting this all day, but I MYSELF got the news that we had a new American pope from my British atheist girlfriend because BBC was faster than NBC and it gave me an absolutely hellish two minutes while I refreshed in a panic to see WHICH American it was
- Saw there's a new pope, immediately went to bluesky to see what @clairewillett.bsky.social has to say (thank you Claire)
- I was def watching BBC. Thanks for your insight and hilarity. My husband and I were just talking about how he will be called Pope Leon in France. That’s just wrong!

- I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶
- Just finished my daily walk with Merlin Bird app 🥳🐦🐤. Brings so much joy.

- here's a fun game if you're a music dork: what is the best album released by a music act at least 15 years after its debut album?
- Green Day’s American Idiot.
- COLLINS: He's wildly exaggerating how much eggs are down. They're not down 87%. If they were, people would be paying 50 cents for a dozen eggs. MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Well, the fact is they're down
- The fact is….gaslighting doesn’t work anymore.
- there's this thing in journalism that really gets me mad. the ben smiths of the world will look at you like you're crazy for simply stating what is actually happening all the way up to the moment they report on it themselves with wide eyed wonder, and then its their story that goes megaviral.
