the normal reaction to being annoyed by your colleagues is to write an academic novel

American conservatism, trembling like an aspen at the sound of another language in the street or a hint of exotic spice in the food

this is the way

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

Live your life such that the Irish Literary Times never subskeets you like this.

I mean it's just everyday life in a university

Seersucker is a fine fabric and doesn’t deserve this

hmm this doesn’t seem right

Bring back "this is the nth day of 'America held hostage'" (by Iran)

45 years ago today, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK was released. I was in the theater that day. Saw it twice! Pure movie magic.

All this and fusion power, an age of wonders

I say I say son, thats some racist cornpone y'got going there, your tongue's a flappin' and your gums a movin' but all I hear is blowhard NONsense

One of my favorite things I saw in Dublin was this incredible sculpture of Oscar Wilde. It's in Merrion Square Park, across the street from his old home. Sculptor Danny Osborne has done something really interesting here—Oscar’s expression changes depending on the angle! #history🗃️

Look, the fraud is so diabolical and far upstream that it’s impossible to prove, but everyone knows instinctively something is wrong here

18th century "cat contract" (納貓兒契式; based on a Yuan-dynasty original), laying out the cat's duties and responsibilities: tirelessly guarding the grain, repelling the "mousey bandits" (鼠賊), not messing with the livestock, not stealing numnums "of any kind whatsoever" (不得偷盜食諸般).

I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT MY WEDDING TO NATALIE PORTMAN, SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT, HAS BEEN POSTPONED. INVITATIONS TO FOLLOW SOON WHEN SHE AGREES/LEARNS OF MY PROPOSAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

The o.g. GOP was equally exercised about Mormons and slaveholders

Between basketball skeeting last night and pizza skeeting today, Bluesky is starting to reach its potential. (Seriously: sports, literature, music, and food are the second-best and highest form of social media, right after cute animals!)

“allowing the chatbot to shop and complete transactions for users” my god

looks like the obituarist didn't get as far as page 562

lol “All they want to be is Irish”, are you quite sure about that Brian

it's just like saying Germany for the Germans, no different

keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

and yet the New York Times can't find any of them

Finally someone with the courage to ask the important questions

What Song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women, though puzling Questions, are not beyond all conjecture. What time the persons of these Ossuaries entred the famous Nations of the dead, and slept with Princes and Counsellours, might admit a wide resolution.

Forget Darth Vader: is Harrison Ford father to us all? Why are there so many shows about Muppets, and what's on the other side? Is Racist Pam important, or does @kevinmkruse.bsky.social just want to say something very rude to her? SHRINKING and other matters, with @smittermeier.bsky.social

I think 22 doctors should check on the Knicks

Honestly if the Statue of Liberty doesn't end up in Times Square if the knicks take it I'm gonna be a little disappointed we gotta one up Philly

Bluesky: the sports app for sports enjoyers

People are calling it Trumpflation, that’s how much they love it folks

Thinking there should exist a documentary on Jack Eckerd's Great Outdoors, its premise, the reality, and the lasting deleterious effect on the small city of Titusville. But there isn't even a Wikipedia page.

truly the worst-titled book of all time, so much so that possters continue to attempt clowns on it a generation later by citing events which constitute uncanny validations of its predictions

breaking: tom steyer announces that he will spend his remaining wealth on a company focused on miniaturizing camels so they can fit through the eye of a needle more easily

trump really said “I love the inflation”

War crime

life comes at you fast

Three Historians walk into… well, their own homes and discuss the TV series „Shrinking“, boundaries, racist Pam, Angels in America and somehow, the Muppets. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @rauchway.bsky.social youtu.be/c8cadazuGv4

"I love the inflation"
