While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger. www.paris.fr/pages/la-mei...

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

Scenes from St Paul, MN.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

I dunno, it feels like every day I fight the urge to find every person I know who voted for this administration and punch them dead in the face.

Kids and volleyball players. Absolutely sickening.

Henrietta Lacks is the reason we dont get polio anymore. Henrietta Lacks is the reason in-vitro works Henrietta Lacks is the reason there's an HPV vaccine, gene mapping, we know how cancer cells divide, AIDs is no longer a death sentence. Henrietta Lacks cells were stolen from her

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

"...wait! Deaf people can see!"

Lil Dude was dancing to a cover of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose."

...has anyone ever seen Erika Kirk and Meghan McCain in the same room?

"Leg day," I say as I pick up another chicken drumstick

Moments before he was ripped to shreds, Edgar vaguely recalled having seen that same obnoxious tie earlier in the day.

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

LRT: don't "they" recommend vitamin A for measles instead of vaccines? 🤔

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

"I asked chatgpt" Did you try asking a friend first? Your ancestors? The forest? Your childhood self? A librarian? Did you try to dream the answer first? How about asking your dog or cat first? Did you try putting the question in a bottle and sending it off to sea? Did you try .... ?

i *know* this isn't true but it feels like axolotl and narwhals were invented in 2018

me seeing christopher lee is trending: oh no!!!! me after clicking on it: oh its just a character on some show that has the same name me: me: wait christopher lee died like ten years ago

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

Fixing the vibe at the party* (*repeatedly playing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on speakerphone for the pigeons outside the pizza place)

Mamdani getting a kidnapped kid released from ICE in less than a day kinda lays bare the full depravity of the Democrats' "we can't just DO things" mentality for the last year.

Americans will use anything but the metric system.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

YES. Take a shit on/in their futures. They are the KKK.

My 40th birthday isn't until November, but I told my husband that my plans so far include sleep and an ice cream cake.

The secret to higher birth rates? Vigorously opposing authoritarianism

People gotta stop saying things are a distraction from the Epstein stuff. Every evil, horrific thing they’re doing is because they want to. They want to eliminate like 70% of the country.

if a shark bites you, you should turn into a shark why do only vampires wield such power

I sometimes dream I still have mail there.

Yooooooooo (I just discovered this account, and I'm checking the Arkansas ones for post offices I know).

The entirety of the world for the last 500 years:

“You finished those DC metro stations?” “Sure thing boss, beautiful, moodily lit and oddly unsettling, just like you asked.” “What?”

a fresh loaf of bread is sort of a tragic thing because even as you’re eating that first magnificent slice you know the bread is already getting worse. beauty never lasts. happiness is evanescent

Last night, Matthew discovered a new taco truck that looked pretty good, less than a mile from our house. We started chanting, "A taco truck on every corner."

our world is dirty in ways that even Mr Clean can't come to terms with anymore
