A common theme I've noticed on FB is my governor (a boring, competent guy running a blue state trifecta) will post mundane updates, and will receive a million "😆" reactions from sneering boomers.

Hello, it's 2018 me. I'm in a hotel lobby, reading Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance. A spacetime portal opened up nearby and an older version of myself emerged and sprinted towards me before getting tackled by staff.

I need a fit check on Senator Merkley's shoes. I hope he's wearing the cushiest Hokas imaginable. Remarkable and important performance

Mariners' clubhouse drawing up plans to get to the world series

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

Pretty elite game Messenger is playing to have mutually exclusive features in the app and the browser. Or to have some things break in one and not the other. I love it when a friend sends a gif and I have to check my computer to see it (or the other way around!)

The Mariners as of today:

Fitness trackers need an "F off, I have a cold" button for when you're sick and it nags you about steps

MARINERS

This is certainly the most intimidating man ever to be named "Skubal"

“‘I often wonder, even though the teaching of Sacred Scripture is so clear about the poor, why many people continue to think that they can safely disregard the poor,’ Pope Leo XIV states in his first magisterial document …” www.americamagazine.org/vatican-disp...

WTF, a "limited run"??? insideevs.com/news/775256/...

Mariners!

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new analysis. share.google/FrLUSBkG5xrX... 🔌💡 #Upshift

A simple question I always ask myself when Prime Day rolls around is: Do I actually need this, or am I just trying to buy dopamine?

Mariners!

queen shit, rest in peace

Too real. We’re going to try to fix this. Social media doesn’t have to be this way.

Thanks, Facebook

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

Remembering for no particular reason the time when CoasttoCoastAM host George Noory showed up in banner ads for the P90X workout

Letterboxd is one of the few non-toxic social media sites out there, but they could really gain a lot if they improved the comments section. Replying to someone's comment feels like throwing a message in a bottle out into the ocean and hoping for the best.

Ever since that guy paid an Etsy Witch to uncurse the Mariners, they snapped a 1-6 game losing streak, won 16 of their last 17 games, and are leading the AL West for the first time in 24 years.

Men when you suggest they talk to a therapist.

If you're having a bad day, my first prescription to you is to watch the newly restored Sound of Music.

Sorry I'm late, the gym TV got to the Monica Bellucci scenes in The Matrix Reloaded

As kids, my brother and I would play "home intruder" where we imagined beating up a break-in perp with karate chops and crotch kicks. I think in one scenario, we were awarded with a trip to outer space.

Hear me out: Challengers, but the sport is pickleball

The torture of being a FOR ALL MANKIND fan is the complete black box of info on the next season. Even on the subreddit where people gather everything they can find, it's clear we're working with table scraps. A leaked photo, a vague "soon" window for release, that's about it.

I'm sorry I can't hear you, I'm still in the afterglow of watching The Sound of Music on the big screen

At the beginning of his career, Robert Redford played the embodiment of death in an episode of The Twilight Zone. Not as a malevolent force, but a kind one, who helps an old woman face her own mortality. youtu.be/9tfyv4BZRug?...

Bolsonaro granted one last nostalgic visit to the hospital before being sent to prison.

I wonder if screenwriters for new Star Wars media are riddled with self-doubt when coming up with character names. The boundaries couldn't be more blurry between "fits into the canon of the world's biggest franchise", and "the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever heard"

For all peoples and all times: when fighting monsters, beware that you do not become a monster

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

Short thread as I procrastinate on something: Pics I took of cars because I was like "OMG, this is the first time I've seen that EV on the road!" Tesla Roadster (maybe!) April 29, 2011

Everyone say hello to Tupi, a lil’ capybara baby at the San Antonio Zoo. 🥹

I got the latest COVID booster over the weekend. And while the side effects still take me out for the following 24 hours, I still marvel at what kind of a miracle drug this thing is.

Only present-day Microsoft would insert ads into SOLITAIRE, and offer a $20/year subscription to turn them off

We need a legacy sequel to Fred Ott's Sneeze

This take is as spicy as vanilla, but Jaws is a really good movie and watching it in theaters was a delight!

Google Lens and Apple Visual Intelligence make it possible to point your phone at anything and learn what it is, and yet the "r/whatisthisthing" subreddit keeps humming along.

w/o downloading anything new, where are you mentally?
