Ok @hankgreen.bsky.social is my anger translator regarding stupid controversies about Jimmy Wales and @wikipedia.org. I was going to say something, but Hank says everything I would have said here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zi0...

O-- oh. Huh. Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy: It was only after leaving "Sesame Street" that H.R. Giger's creative vision for the Xenomorph began to truly emerge.

Medieval Times attracts busloads of high school bands with teenage low-brass lines who think they're being hilariously original every time they summon the wait staff by shouting "SERVING WENCH"

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

In college a group of friends went to the old spaghetti factory. Mid-meal I started sneezing convulsively and excused myself to the restroom, where to my delighted horror I pulled an intact full-length noodle through my nostril.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

BREAKING NEWS: Katie Wilson was elected as Seattle’s next mayor Wednesday afternoon when she took a 1,976 vote lead over Bruce Harrell. This coverage is ongoing.

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

91 votes separate the two mayoral candidates in Seattle, but Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell and is now in the lead.

🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something. I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable. Let me show you why: #Healthcare #CorporateDemocrats 1/12

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

The Middle-Earthsea 'ship we need

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

With another 56,000 votes counted in the Seattle mayor's race, Katie Wilson has narrowed the gap with incumbent Bruce Harrell to just 4,300 votes, and received just under 55 percent of the vote in the latest count, with perhaps 50,000 votes remaining to be counted. That's a solid turnaround.

Look At My Book Everyone :)

Apropos of Nothing I'm Sure, everybody knows about the secret Congressional nuclear bunker that was hidden under the shiny new luxury wing of the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, right? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project...

NOPE. Who sends a campaign text like this on the day SNAP is cut off?

You know what’s up

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

We're all going to call it the Gilded Ballpit, right?

They've discovered another of the Simple Machines

The building is evacuated for the third time in two months. The firefighter shrugs. "Someone burned dinner again. Could be worse, there's apartments a few blocks down where I think the rain sets it off."

Growing up, all close family friends were either Aunt, Uncle, or Doctor Firstname.

If you live in the Bay Area: this 5 month old male cat was a TNR (trap, neuter,release), but he's very friendly, not like a feral cat. He's cute too!!!! Please consider this sweet boy, or ask your neighbors if they'd like to adopt him. Please repost. Thanks, friends!! 🥰😍😺❤️💐🌼

I know I already signed off for the night, but I just ran across this heartwarming saga and had to share! From the Washington State Patrol: This morning, WSP received 911 calls about a kitten stuck on the left shoulder of I5 near Tacoma. Troopers Bonner and Fath found him under a concrete barrier.

It took me forever to find this... But here it is. Proof the the prescience of Garry Trudeau: www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/s...
