Happy 93rd birthday to Willie Nelson! Clip from Outlaws and Angels, Live at the Wiltern Theater, 2004.

Imagine Hungarians struggling with the difficulties of adequately translating “primitive root wiener” and getting increasingly enraged

Recall Leo installed Archbishop Dolan's replacement ON DOLAN'S BIRTHDAY. You can't tell me Papa Leo doesn't understand Chicago politics.

Karoline Leavitt needs @ronziegler.bsky.social to teach her the old "the president is resting" trick

Lost in all this anti-Orban celebrating is the news that Hungarians have apparently chosen Seattle-based rapper Macklemore as their new prime minister

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

I mean, you don't really need a translator

@casanova5256.bsky.social Next AMA, as angry if he's ever been on Jeopardy.

The absolute best, must read thread I've seen in awhile

If GenX controlled "Big X-mas Music"™ instead of Boomers youtu.be/4D6_IhZA9Cg?...

If it's Lizzie O'Leary Level Who The Fuck Knows™, all jokes aside, it's really fucked up.

This might be my epithet

The episode we ran yesterday with @weatherwest.bsky.social was one we recorded in the Spring. But it’s vitally important right now. The Trump administrations cuts are endangering our ability to safely forecast weather. slate.com/podcasts/wha...

I really thought that the Republicans in the Senate were going to step up and do the right thing, because I was standing near an oil derrick when it exploded and an iron spike lodged in my skull so I can’t remember anything that happened before 6 minutes ago.

We are terrified of death, and we blame the sick for their own problems. Always the individual, never the system.
