My wife is a home hospice nurse and her dying patient’s family didn’t know what to do with his very elderly cat after he passed (his DIL was severely allergic), so now I have a very old cat who is super clingy and doesn’t let me read my dumb sci-fi novels in peace, and I love her already.

jd vance negotiating with Iran

Does Iran know Hegseth can bench three plates????!!?!!?? How is this war still going?

If only they’d come knocking earlier. Firefly wouldn’t have been canceled in the first place.

We’re doing it

This is a child’s logic. “The strong men I see on tv will help!” Incredible stuff.

I, uh, would also like to express MY fondness for that particular word.

You’ve got my vote, @jasongore.bsky.social

John Darnielle’s book This Year is subtitled “365 Songs Annotated.” But I just realized there are 29 entries in the February chapter. So we’re either getting an unannotated song later on or the subtitle is a liar!

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

The only “looksmaxxing” I want to hear about is somebody saying, “LOOK! It’s MAXX Crosby in a Bears uniform!”

I’m so proud of these dudes whose social media content I will never, ever check

*strums guitar* let me tell you about someone else who was denied three times before making an epic comeback

The NFL must suspend Steve Tisch immediately. It's mindblowing that we're now demanding a football league act against direct involvement with a child sex-trafficking ring, only because nothing and no one else will. Dan Bernstein Unfiltered on @312sportschi.bsky.social. Links below.

We go numb to it bc it’s happening all the time, but calling out Republicans’ hypocrisy is still worthwhile. The party seemingly doesn’t believe in anything anymore other than the accumulation of its own power.

Puffy coat season, baby!

Years ago at a fantasy football draft (of all places) a guy in the league asked me and my brother if we had a black family member bc why else would we be on the side of BLM. I think about it often, this bizarre notion that we should only care about people who look just like us.

Imagine what it would be like to have an opposition party you actually believed in. I know eventually everything gets corrupted and one day we'd feel bad about the new guys, too. But this feeling that *nobody* is on our side is just crushing.

Keon Coleman listening:

Fuck.

Let’s Mike Brown this shit and go home.

Loveland having a rough game catching the ball, man.

The bears inability to convert 3rd and 4th and shorts has been so demoralizing.

Caleb is forcing shit he shouldn’t be forcing

3rd and 1 - stuffed. 4th and 1 - stuffed. Ughhhh

These drops are killing me.

All of this is true but I do check in occasionally because dril is in back his element over there

Well I would hate this!

george: jerry, i'm going to the bone temple! jerry: bone temple? george: bone temple! elaine: a guy took me to the bone temple once....he wasn't exactly samson kramer: *bursts into apartment, infected*

bro couldn’t even contend with the will of samwise gamgee regarding sam’s desire to attend a secret council but he thinks he can take on sauron the deceiver, wicked and acursed? FOH

Collinsworth looking like he’s about to go insane and try and kill Robert Pattinson.

It would be awesome if Chicago invented an offense that scored before the 4th quarter.

Drew Dalman having his worst game ever?

Caleb’s got to take the hit and try to get the first down there, man

Bears are getting rolled man. Hard to watch.

At some point you’ve gotta pull Johnson and put in Stevenson.

I guess you can say Oregon…trails

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Our government is out here murdering people and I’m supposed to just keep working. The full crush of fascism is upon us, but time to call the insurance company and negotiate this small auto case!

As a Bears fan I am relieved to learn there is a worse football family.
