I recently experienced a European city for the first time, and yesterday was driven 45 minutes each way to go to dinner, and am like "..."

Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before

This reminds me that I want to try dyeing with cleavers/stickyweed one day: wildcraftdyeing.com/blog/galium-...

I for one cannot wait to see the consequences

I thought that surely by a couple of weeks into open enrollment more people with platforms and/or sway would be louder about how this is going to devastate a lot of people.

Can't wait for Anita Bonds to be off the Council.

"The judges that sit on the Pantone Color of the Year (PCOTY) Committee are rigorously selected and groomed from birth for the task. ... [they] die after making their annual selection. They have never been wrong."

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story. The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth. And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Thank you, kind @amtrak.com conductor, for reminding folks we're on the Quiet Car! I wonder if there's a Quiet Car pin. If not, I'm going to make one. I love the Quiet Car.

New tiny project: mini plant press out of samples from Ocooch Hardwoods (white oak and ash) and parts of an old backpack. I love small things.

The Best Conference is now on my calendar.

Thrilled to announce that the annual Graphic Medicine conference will be held in Baltimore, at Johns Hopkins University, on July 23-25, 2026. We're now seeking submissions on the theme "Drawing Perspectives: Health Graphic Narratives Under Pressure!" www.graphicmedicine.org/2026-gm-conf...

Maybe soon we'll be able to figure out what DC's favorite Super Mario character is (as determined by Google search).

Hey you

Happy for my comrades in DC.

Mmmmm low Republican morale

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Not xkcd's banger cover "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles... Leave flakes on my mittens? Hey... These are stone with a copper veneer. I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāṣir!" in my head again

I'm fortunate to be on Medicaid for now. The bronze plan I would have chosen after I was laid off earlier this year (and I'm still unemployed!) was $150 with subsidies. Next year and without subsidies, it'll be $550.

Car culture is the worst!

The mayor loves the [version of] the city [that best serves her and her donors] and she has made decisions she thinks are in the best interest [of her monetary comfort post-mayorship] Politics is so interesting

Yes to all of this, and pitchforks, too.

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

This man announces his art projects only after 7 years to avoid prosecution. I'm curious if he's going to pop up with anything new since it's been about that much time since he's been in the news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFa...

It's not you! It's not me. It's hard to believe that sometimes.

Make a replica and mount it on a plaque! That thing is beautiful!!

If you see this, post your bird art. An imagined comics version of the fable The Pitcher and the Crow for CFPB from a few years ago. CFPB and @savecfpb.bsky.social and @nteu335.bsky.social rule!!!!

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I'm excited about the possibility that more people will be able to access affordable public transit, food, and housing. We all do better when everyone's basics are taken care of. I hope at some point, everyone can understand that as a victory.

get in loser, we're speaking ill of the dead

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

The dream journalism outlet that a "good" billionaire could form anytime continues to get better. Or there are good places they could throw money and urge journalists with integrity to go! Any day. Anytime! Come on out, "ethical" billionaire! C'mon boy (or girl)

@wmata.com what the heck? C51 #3222 just passed by without stopping. There was a D80 stopped but multiple people were waiting for the C51 and it just blew past! >:(

I want to know more about Curtis Sliwa but I'll have to wait till I can use a computer instead of my phone!

With open enrollment underway, annual reminder that we could have had healthcare for all if it weren't for Joe Lieberman. The CT senator didn't back the public option bc he had no political base after becoming an Independet), which meant he cldn't afford to lose the insurance coffers...HQd in CT.

I gotta get to the maintenance yard before migration is over

I want put on a beaming smile and tell the president that I think he'll be remembered like the historical figure Ea-nasir. He would totally think it's a compliment.

Here are the sculptures available on my shop : bisonrimant.fr You can greatly help me by sharing this post, if you want to ✌️

I love grep and regex and do actually hope I live long enough to see the death of genAI!!! Take THAT, treatment-resistant major depressive disorder

We take risks we emphatically shouldn't and I stand by that we can't realistically comprehend a million, billion, or trillion of a thing, and that hearing those numbers all the time, thinking we understand, desensitizes us.

The Walton family surely does

👋🏻 We’re at the emergency vet with Mr. Shrimp! He’s being checked for bladder stones because his litter box usage has been weird this week. It’s $800 that isn’t in our budget, but he deserves the world. 🐈🧡 If you want to help, I have zines in my shop: ko-fi.com/theverbalthi...

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Hmmmmmm
