It occurred to me that it might be possible that the band Iron Butterfly was named after the chair and it disrupted my entire thought process for ten minutes

The flag stays up til conditions improve

Somebody in a garage one block over is practicing the bass line from “Self-Esteem” by The Offspring

We sit outside and argue all night long About a God we've never seen, but never fails to side with me Sunday comes, and all the papers say

you truly love to see it

I've talked with several friends, legit pros and even Eisner-winners, who were not registered to vote and had to apply…AND a lot of eligible folks haven't even heard this is an issue. The deadline is the day after tomorrow, so do it right now. (If you got the email below then you ARE registered lol)

A playlist of songs containing sounds that make you think something's wrong with your car

Went to the matinee and saw Ponyo for the first time in a while; genuinely loved it this time around, the 7yo had a blast

My workplace is down the way from this bar; since I've been there we've had a number of cars wind up wrecked on the lawn. One got 200 ft across that lawn and wound up in the C-suite

The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT @schumer.senate.gov

Gov. Josh Shapiro called District Attorney Larry Krasner's comparison of ICE agents to Nazis "abhorrent." Krasner responded that Shapiro is "not meeting the moment."

Danny Lavery once described the dynamic of running the Toast as "I’m an Ernie to the core, and Nicole is an Ernie at heart who takes on Bert tendencies when she’s around another Ernie," and it has become my primary frame for understanding a lot of relationships

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.

Dynamic between me and Lightning connectors getting to be emblematic of a lot of other dynamics

Probably not 3 days pass at a time without me thinking about shit in this Graeber essay. Pairs real well with the line from Veins about how the teachers don't tell you about how you can get a GED so the popular kids have a steady supply of kids to torture.

Get in the piss, Andres

hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner

I said it last week, but Margo Maloo is, like BACK back. www.drewweing.com/comic/page-3...

this is one of the worst crimes in human history and the entire global north and all of us in it share the responsibility

if you are old enough to remember, at all, what was going on during the run-up to iraq, and fall for it again now, you are either vile beyond repair or such an enormous mark that you should be locked in a mcdonald's playplace for your own personal safety

Oh good, they elected a new Flame Pope

Emotional drayage

From our elementary school today:

This is a typo, the Thursday event is in Philly. It's in Philly. On Thursday ok schumer is having a book event. In Philly. In case anyone from Philly is here I just wanted them to know. Thursday. Philly.

Defunding research on brain development and memory doesn't help anyone and certainly doesn't improve the welfare of students.

The hell

If you're in Delco or Very South Philadelphia (or Montogomery County), you can also share your thoughts with your Rep, here's a link: scanlon.house.gov/calendar/eve...

And I signed up for a "tele-town hall" featuring my Rep (PA-05) and some others, and submitted a question about whether their opposition to the Trump administration will consist of anything more substantive than holding up a lollipop sign at them

So I contacted Sen. Fetterman's office to tell him to oppose SB9

So I made all these Reacher things last year, when I first thought of the joke, and I was posting them last week. There are about 21 to go, and so as an accountability thing I guess I'm going to let myself post one each time I Do Something in Real Life to address the Various Problems.

No one buys a newspaper who doesn't want to make it their toy. Refer again to the Philadelphia Inquirer - maybe the best daily paper left. In 2012 it was purchased by Gerry Lenfest, who was Annenberg's lawyer. He then donated it to a foundation so it would be protected from people like Annenberg.

Oh good, they elected a new Flame Pope

good morning here is a piece from me about this week's worker actions against DOGE and Trump, what the point of all these cuts are anyway, and how you can join the fight inthesetimes.com/article/fede...

just a reminder that Democrats agreed to schedule his vote today because they were scared delay tactics would cause them to miss a swanky overseas junket in Germany
