Raise your hand if you get what this is referencing? So many people are not getting it. It's not difficult if you know stuff about things.

Mosaics of dogs From the Great Palace Mosaic Museum

Doing some research for WWII lecture on Monday and look what I found! Who knew?!?! #MikeJohnsonIgnorance #MikeJohnson

I named my fists Burke and Hare because they know how to dish out death, FOR SCIENCE!

For some reason a bunch of British 60's-70's Sci-Fi TV Themes popped up on my commute shuffle. These really revved me up on a Monday morning. I probably shouldn't have screamed Thunderbirds are go! as I entered the building. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgUj...

Post your favorite “The Lord of the Rings” character. Wrong answers only

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen Frank Zappa Dizzy Gillespie Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper Concrete Blonde Suzanne Vega/Michael Barons

Grizzlies announcer bragging about hitting his parlay can't believe this is the world we live in now

Kevin Drum is turning in his grave.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.

I see Penn State is playing Michigan State tomorrow. I don't know who to root for, the school that covered up for a pedophile or the other school that covered up for a pedophile.

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

Let down by so many institutions that covered up for pedophiles, ephebophiles, and other sexual predators is depressing. Thank God we still have sports! Oh, look Penn State is playing Michigan State this weekend!

Take a cue from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (also by Fleming) and start the new movie establishing the previous movie as a story a now elderly Bond is telling his grandkids. They ask some questions about him not dying and he responds with another story, cue new movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWTQ...

Less James Bond. More Jackson Lamb!

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

Short men and fat women. Two of the last groups even progressives can discriminate against and still pat themselves on the back for being tolerant.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Sooooo, Lewis Strauss was right but solar not nuckuler.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

I know I am screaming into the wind, but our branches of government are not supposed to trust each other. Our entire system is based on the assumption that no one can be trusted and our institutions are supposed to be in each other's business. Did nobody else take high school civics?

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores. And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

The Louse that Roared

I just invented a new word/phrase! Inbox fatberg or iFatberg From Merriam-Webster Fatberg: a large mass of fat and solid waste that collects in a sewer system So an iFatberg is a large mass of emails and spam that collects in your inbox while you are out of the office.

From the Landesmuseum Württemberg, a twelfth-/thirteenth-century statue that appears to be commemorating a particularly vivid and vulnerable moment.

I was born at Children's Hospital in Washington D.C. in 1960, three years before this mook slipped suddenly head-first from his mom's well-worn womb on whatever truck lot she was laboring, thereby suffering the regrettable injury that has so burdened the rest of us ever since.

Mamdani is well dressed, has to be very careful in his approach, and his record is damn near spotless. Platner is a fucking Blackwater merc with an SS tat and everyone from Sanders to Vigeland to fucking Jacobin is tripping over themselves to defend and equivocate. Fucking disgusting.

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

These are screenshots from the ACTUAL WHITE HOUSE PAGE on the timeline of the East Wing. You may not believe what you re seeing. Go and check for yourself. This...I don't even know what to say about this.

When Trump hears what Ronald Reagan said about immigrants he’s going to have DOJ arrest him for mortgage fraud.

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

Lord. Even the Empire gave people some personal space

One thing that bothers me when I think about it, which admittedly is not often, is that when people refer to him, both in the movies and "in real life" they call him "Double Oh Seven." But that's not his code name. His code name is "Double ZERO Seven." Those are numbers not letters. WTF?

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

So they are basically telling anyone working in the Treasury Building to NOT take photos of the destruction wrought by the guy who is responsible for them having to work without pay. I got ten bucks that says there is at least one joke "Scenic Overlook" or Selfie Station in that building.

What’s ironic is that Noah Webster, which this dictionary is half founder, consciously and aggressively changed the spellings and definitions of English to make it more American.

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

I like the suit, I’m not sure I understand the sign. #nokings #nokingsdc

I blame the government shut down. #museumhistory The New York Times New York, New York · Sunday, October 15, 1899

That looks more like either: 1) Adjuncts fighting over the last unassigned 3 credit course with the semester starting next week. or 2) Grad students and post docs fighting over the last tenure track job in the US.

This is hilarious! Once you think about it. Learn about 19th Century Dime Museums and read about the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition. Then think some more. HILARIOUS! #museumhistory #tdih #cannibalism www.newspapers.com/article/the-...
