If you squint through the rain drops, it’s still L.A.! @CurbedLA @kcrw @latimes #LARain #ILoveLA

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

The Los Angeles GOP responsibly avoids taking the Trump administration’s “voter fraud” bait and instead explains the vote-counting process to its followers.

[Antidepressant Content @depressionlesss]

cats do not explain themselves. they simply walk away from rooms that feel wrong.

there’s wisdom in that.

Tianwen-2 launched just over a year ago and is expected to perform a burn tomorrow (June 7) Beijing time, setting up a rendezvous with the small, rapidly-spinning asteroid Kamo'oalewa.

[Dem Saints @LDS_Dems]

Under new military guidance from Pete Hegseth, the LDS Church is officially classified as a non-Christian religion.

My fellow Saints, you can love these Christian nationalists all you want, but they will not love you back.

A conservative candidate in Indiana whose race is presently in a recount is combing voters’ social media to try to challenge voters, a practice that state observers say is new & unusual: https://t.co/kvfRvCjbd3

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

"Trump has been a fantastically successful demagogue, a master flatterer of the people. But at some point in an authoritarian takeover, one has to explain why one is taking over power despite or against the wishes of the people." We are there.

(Kevin Kline) "Don't call me stupid."

(Jamie Lee Curtis) "Oh, right. To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?"

(Kevin Kline) "Apes don't read philosophy."

(Jamie Lee Curtis) "Yes they do, Otto. They just don't understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up."

[Space Jellyfish Alerts @spacejellyalert]

Space jellyfish alert!

Starlink 17-43 from SLC-4E in California on June 6, 2026 at 7:57:20 PM PDT could produce a space jellyfish. This occurs when a rocket and its expanding exhaust plumes are illuminated by the sun and observers are in local darkness.

The rocket will enter sunlight 00m00s after launch.

objectively the best mantra but i do wish the rhyming scheme was ABCB instead of ABCC (my mayor is muslim / my christian dior / my bagel is jewish / my knicks in four)

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

“By rejecting amendments to kill the slush fund legislatively—and not even attempting to block the immunity order—Republican senators essentially accepted that Trump has once again put himself above the law.”

@gauravsabnis Excellent use of the Colbert quote!

[Gaurav Sabnis @gauravsabnis]

This will keep happening cos more and more immigration is not just good for America, it is essential to the American economy and lifestyle in general. No matter what the Nazis say.

Trump won by stoking anti immigrant sentiments. But reality has a well known liberal bias.

[Marlow Stern @MarlowNYC]

the knicks *still* have not lost since karl-anthony towns chatted up anne hathaway in ‘the devil wears prada 2’

[Niraj @uscaero]

@SketchesbyBoze @PhadkeTai The series finale just leaves you slack jawed till the very last scene. Simply the best.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

The Americans is one of the four or five best dramas ever to air on TV. The closing scene of the pilot made me a diehard fan. There’s a moment in the series finale I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since I first saw it. Very few shows are written & acted on this level.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Gas lighting is not the exclusive purview of Republicans. This particular cable news host spent 2016 gassing up Sanders and having BIG LAUGHS when Susan Sarandon came on his show to tell him Trump beating Hillary would simply accelerate the timeline for Bernard's "revolution."

[Alison Herman @aherman2006]

my anecdotal impression that every single progressive millennial in la waited to drop their ballot until this past weekend (and hadn’t gotten a text saying their ballot was accepted as of well after election day) has been validated

[ella devi @ellad3vi]

when the knicks won brad lander got on a table and the whole bar sang frank sinatra’s new york new york at him. dan goldman you will lose the primary by one million points

[LakeShowYo @LakeShowYo]

Knicks fans are insane 😭😭😭

“My Mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian’s Dior… Knicks in 4!!!”

[Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe]

@paulg Well, they learned from State TV

This is what you honestly see if you click on U.S. on Fox News. Every single day.
