On my bike ride home, I got passed by a guy on a nice road bike near the zoo. 20 blocks later, I caught back up to him. He was on his knees on the ground in the middle of the road, conscious, fair amount of blood, surrounded by a couple people caring for him/calling 911.

Not to get too "I'm in my forties!!" about it, but there is no early 2000s MTV without Wade Robson and his choreo/direction (NSYNC, Spears, etc.). It's extremely gross and unsettling how much the pop culture of my youth was paid for with abuse and pain.

I really hope Jean Teasdale gets a column on the new Infowars dot com

Those Fuel Coffee shops are a great opportunity for someone who wants to own a small neighborhood bookstore/cafe. There are lots of fun possibilities for inventive booksellers to build bookish communities out of those spaces.

Now they have a "No Elon" sticker. RIP irony, dead in a Cybertruck, like too many others. (Update: Still getting spit on.)

We had to stop watching MATILDA the other day because my second grader was afraid of Trunchbull. We then watched the Twinings Extreme Tea for Sport ad from SNL so she could see Emma Thompson is good, actually.

Anyway, we need to go back to bands getting popular the old fashioned way, by taking hostage a radio station with realistic looking squirt guns and winning the heart of a recalcitrant disc jockey who is mad at management and then releasing a number one hit record while in prison for your crime.

This was on so many screens at the Round Table I took my kids to eat at before we went to a play tonight. I'd say it ruined the ambiance, but this was the ambiance, so

SO DANG COOL

Can confirm this metaphor is structurally sound.

Star Trek: Lower Decks lasted longer than the confederacy

On this Rex Manning Day, may all self-important blowhard predators get exactly the comeuppance they deserve.

I was expecting them to have fancier eclipse glasses, like sciencey, lab goggle–type things, but no, NASA's best and brightest use the same glasses we all do, I'm sure that's not a metaphor for shared humanity or anything at this difficult point in history

FYI if you’re talking about the #Artemis II mission and you want to get the spaceflight terminology right, the mission is “crewed,” not “manned.” (NASA made the terminology change official decades ago, so this isn’t new, but a lot of folks just aren’t aware.)

Awww NASA gives the astronauts choice time ("crew choice event") as part of their schedule today; my second grader will be so happy for them

I'm WFH today and a good thing too, because those proposed names for new lunar features from the Artemis crew--and watching them hug each other and cry too--just made me cry so hard the cat got concerned

The Artemis crew basically triple-checking with Houston "OK, so the window on my left or your left?" is extremely relatable

It works!!!

an inspiration for us all. she got out.

Running outside to wave at Christina

This bird looks like it's going to say, "Please, detective, you have to understand I have no idea who killed my husband and I'm terribly sick about it"

Thirty-one years ago today, the New Orleans-based alternative rock band Better than Ezra released its hit single “Good,” marking the first-ever Good Friday, which has now grown into a major holiday celebrated throughout the world.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

I know it isn't the same ferry dock, but I can't disembark on Bainbridge Island without thinking of this photo (and rightfully so).

That's right

The Climate Pledge Arena bag policy is part of car culture.

Raisin the rabbit says dismantle the war machine

I talk a lot about replacing car trips with a bike, but getting started can be overwhelming. A friend of mine just built findtheright.bike. It’s a 4-question quiz to help you figure out exactly what kind of utility or cargo bike fits your daily life. Try it out, share it with friends and family.

The countdown is on! 42 days remaining to watch the #EdsGuild2025 Red Pencil videos (through 5/8). Catch up now or rewatch your favorites. If you missed it the first time around, you can still get affordable, discounted video packages to enhance your learning! www.edsguild.org/virtual-purc...

Just rode from Greenwood to Northgate and back on my bike, and about 80% of my trip was on Healthy Streets that are supposed to be closed to through traffic. Some stats: 1/2

I am ready for another season of Seattle Mariners baseball.

The simple truth is this: outside of a few wealthy, well-funded school districts, all US parents are functionally homeschooling. You’re filling what are now substantial gaps in childhood education. All these debates about penmanship +other hobbyhorses are just political theater. Fund education.

I immediately responded to this email from the district with a "ha, no way am I doing that" response that was twofold: There are already more than half a dozen apps/portals/vendors I have to interact with on a regular basis as an SPS parent, and that doesn't even include PTA-specific platforms. 1/2

This is the moderate position.

what happened to if you have time to lean you have time to clean. or does that only apply to me making $7.25/hr to sell shitty frozen yogurt and not the highly paid murder squad

you ever think about how they made a wonderful little Fletch movie where Jon Hamm got to be a silly goose and then it got buried into streaming hell and mostly forgotten?

Oh no, I finally saw the people that drive this, and they ARE a young couple with a baby. They are putting a BABY in a CYBERTRUCK. (Upside: Still getting spit on.)

I don't actually want to engage because I don't live in Chicago, but someone making the argument that an office that's equivalent to "MAYOR OF SEATTLE" isn't a good "starter" office has maybe not done some extremely cursory research.

What To Know About ‘Sinners’ https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-sinners/

That performance of "I Lied to You" from SINNERS is rightly getting a lot of love, but I haven't yet seen many shout-outs to Rhiannon Giddens, the banjo player. My mandolin-playing father ID'd her for me, and she's fantastic: youtu.be/a4Xlyi8Is98?...

i still fundamentally believe that sandwichnet is real in star trek

The elementary school crossing guards broke into a spontaneous “Ewwww!!” when a Cybertruck drove by. It’s so over. For Elon, but also for me, as they followed up their assertion that it’s a “Car for old men” with a quickly-blurted “No offense.”

I have also spent years watching Grammarly with great mistrust! Screw those guys!

This took me out IG real_timmeadows “So many roles, I barely remember them.”
