For Lottery Day celebrants, don't miss the interview Isaac Chotiner did with the mayor: archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

This is reminding me of how all the Ts would get stolen from Georgia Tech buildings. 😂

In March, I went to watch France and Brazil play a pre-World Cup game—half the game from an on-field VIP club, half from the cheap seats. Today I’ve got an essay out about what live sports are for, which seems like something a lot of us are thinking about right now. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Jupiter and Venus conjunction over the past three nights.

There was a solid month where the Old Navy I worked at played The Bird and the Bee's Hall & Oates cover album over and over.

My immediate thought just from seeing the color of this was "Hi-C Ecto Cooler".

Y'all All (of) y'all All y'all's

If your preferred method for listening to podcasts in on a video platform, why not listen to me and Matthew Gabriel gabbing about all things medieval print @americanmedieval.bsky.social on YouTube? www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDG1...

May the damnatio memoriae continue while he's alive to see it.

NEW — I wrote about my visit to Delaney Hall, the ICE facility in Newark, NJ where detainees are on a hunger and labor strike in protest of rotten food, unpaid work, and unjust detainment, and where protesters outside have spent the last week drawing ICE's ire while keeping strikers' demands alive.

Reposting in hopes that the Evening People™ might have some suggestions.

Isn't it time you find out what really happened?

Gonna use this opportunity to share the documentary about E. Jean Carroll. Trailer here: youtu.be/SgyI8GStcao?...

But, also, Hot Dog King is better than Jimmy's Hot Dogs. 🫣

Haha, ok. I've got 3 for 3 different places I've lived. 1) Albany, GA: B&B BBQ is mid, just go to Sonny's since Wagner's closed. 2) Atlanta: The Varsity is an *experience*, the food is not good. 3) Philly: Sesame seeds on a cheese steak roll are dumb.

Or, hear me out, it's one of the first indicators of far-right extremism.

Maybe The Wedding Singer? None of those guys are good guys! Julia should have run away with Billy Idol. I'd say Never Been Kissed, but it's maybe not a classic to those who didn't see every late '90s Drew Barrymore movie. The whole romance with the teacher, ick.

Hmm. Not feeling great about getting that AHA email.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Geordie on Grantchester is ACAB.

We can’t just idolize. We can’t just memorialize. We have to actualize the vision. This American moment requires all of us to get in the arena, because there is something worth fighting FOR.

Come to think of it, every weekend should be 3 days.

So, Fitzpatrick is back to his mid-term attempt to convince everyone he wasn't voting for everything Trump wanted before now. 🙄

It's fun when the sky stays on trend with apocalyptic-looking storm clouds.

M.C. Escher pipes.

First Muslims in America were Black Africans abducted from their homes & it's ridiculous how few people know this. When my great uncle became the first in my family to come to the US from Hyderabad in the 1960s, there was already a Black Muslim American community in Houston

It's fun to put emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle.

It feels like 107° in May? No, thank you!

I was waiting to post this while Bluesky was down. Go look at the sky tonight! The Moon and Venus are conjunct, with Jupiter nearby. #Astronomy #NightSky

I’m Dr. Kerry Pray, and I’m conducting an experiment to determine if posting about a book on social media can change its Amazon ranking This week’s book is Before we were Blue by EJ Schwartz and the initial ranking is 1,452,908

(Kika is a rescue and lived most of her life before we adopted her in the rural outdoors or in a dog shelter, so she's still learning.) Kika, sit, get a toy, treat, outside, inside, bed, Daddy's home, wait, wanna eat?, up, good girl

Oh? What sources (besides the medieval = bad circle-jerkers that write this same essay every year) support your claims, Katya?

Apropos of nothing, this shirt is $16. [Alt text: dark gray heather shirt with 1961 print cover of "A Tale of Two Cities," by Charles Dickens. The print is in red screenprint with the book title and author's name at the top with an illustration of an angry crowd below a guillotine.]

This is medieval (furta sacra)!

Yes. It is currently happening, JayDee.

Will it be cheaper to buy tickets and fly to London than to buy tickets for a home game? 🤔

This really isn't going to end the way the GOP thinks.
