this sequence in the U.S. women’s curling match was pure cinema

Not sure how I missed this had happened til now, but the new Muppet Show episode is just perfect.

Yep, the Mennonites are rising up. They took over the Target for an anti-ICE hymn sing to shame Target for their cooperation. augustafreepress.com/news/harriso...

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Hey, so one thing to do for Black History Month is sign this petition for Eddie Sweat to be inducted into the Horse Racing Hall of Fame: www.thepetitionsite.com/540/203/619/... Eddie was a Geechee Gullah man from South Carolina and arguably key to Secretariat's success on the track.

*rubs temples* As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but... The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

Pretty sure I'd repressed all memory of this one.

Good luck Q! :) @quincemountain.bsky.social #uglydogs

Friday the 13th, you say? It's Guest Void Gary's favorite day!!

Pancake Night is coming up!

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! (I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

The UP200 has more dog fans per capita than any race I’ve seen.

This is what happens when an entire planet puts pressure on a single kid. Congratulations to Mikhail Shaidorov. He skated his ass off today.

sarah mclachlan's next philly show is on my birthday. a shot across the bow. a provocation.

I am officially rooting for Shaidorov to hold on for gold

Oh Ilia no

He's adorable. Braces and all.

Goddess-tier. Amazing.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Hey! Pissed off like I am about RFK Jr, the attacks on climate science, and the rest of this regime's anti-science bullshit? Then do I have a rally for you.

We never had a "first date" unless you count "picking him up at the Munich airport after exchanging emails, mixtapes, and then air-mailed letters for over a year". That was 35 years ago this April.

Don't have experience w/this, but passing along bc I'm grateful it exists.

The most pressing Spurs-related question rn

Olympic skeleton is called "skeleton" because if they crash on the course they dead

I wonder how much of that the BBC could make back by allowing people outside of the UK to subscribe to BBC Sounds.

Thank you for your email. I am currently living in a dystopia and have no patience for email. If your matter is truly urgent, please send it to someone in Canada or New Zealand. I’ll reply in 2028, when I’m done screaming.

6. But only because the things I *really* hate aren't on there (broccoli, brussels sprouts, onions, coffee, artichokes)

Finally read this story. Horrifying. And the poor guy has had to endure being a Tottenham fan, too

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

*sitting by the copier* student I have never met: some creep on the shuttle said he could murder us all and bury us in the snow and they’d never find us me: that’s disturbing! what did you say? student: I said pfft, the decomposition gasses would attract bacteria in days, don’t fuck with me

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...
