Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Yep.

Or if you distribute his wealth equally over all people on earth, it would be more than 100$ per person.
If you gave someone $1 million every day since the birth of Jesus Christ, they'd have about $741 billion.

But that's still less than Elon Musk, who's currently worth $841 billion, according to Forbes.

@robcrank68.bsky.social picked #Pigeons&Doves for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme.

My most beautiful turtle dove must do. It's a pity that they are still heavily hunted, especially in Malta 🪶

Thank you for the 30 day free trial of 2026 but I’d like to cancel my subscription.

If they do this to an accidental witness and US citizen, it's hard to imagine how they treat other people.

ICE needs to be dissolved and pretty much anybody involved prosecuted.
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

@alan678.bsky.social picked the #BirdOfTheDay theme today: #BackyardBirds

Great theme, and I throw in a few picts I grabbed literally from my working desk, which has a tree in front of it. This is about 500m away from Marienplatz = Munich city center.

@robcrank68.bsky.social ‬has set primary theme for recent
#BirdOfTheDay to #GullsInWater, which I totally missed.

Lesser black-backed gulls love to bath in sweet water, as here on a rainy day in Skomer 🪶

Epstein’s network don’t just abuse. They also manage memory, credibility, and silence. That’s why we’ve heard from so few survivors.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

Last words…

Renee: “I’m not mad at you.”
Alex: “Are you okay?”

I can’t emphasize this enough.

These were not domestic terrorists.

They are your friends. They are your family. They are your neighbors.

They. Are. Us.

They. Are. YOU.
