Check out this sword stuck in a stone!!

Good morning BlueSky🌞 🐓🌷🍩☕

they are on Threads fighting to the death over whether or not it is ableist for an author to use the word “scrying" (people might not know the definition!). how beautiful. people staring into their phones and getting so emotional over “scrying.” perhaps there really is magic in reflective surfaces!

Happy Father's Day to All The Cat Dads 🐱💕

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

I just saw a Cybertruck with a "Baby on Board" sticker and thought that was surprisingly self-aware of the driver.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

That car rental company Sixt has terrible AI commercials that are also just ugly and off-putting, but I guess must appeal to their off-putting tech bro audience.

Dog with a Pearl Earring ~ Johannes Vermeer

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch MURIEL'S WEDDING (1994). 💐 The perfect marriage of feel-good comedy and heartfelt drama, P. J. Hogan's beloved Australian hit launched the careers of Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths and put ABBA back on the charts years before “Mamma Mia” was a musical.

Noticing a piece of the new “American flag blue” liner that was partially detached from the Reflecting Pool, David Hearn said he reached in to see what it felt like. Moments later, U.S. Park Police officers arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. wapo.st/4xVNzcS

Well Keir Starmer may not have saved the country from being a failed state, and he may not have done the simple right thing in the face of a horrific genocide, and he may have no idea how AI works despite his probably corrupt enthusiasm for it, and he may have backed the pro-rape spycops bill, and

so you wait to baptize your kid, go to church at home, skip Mary and the saints, don’t like pictures of jesus if he looks too fancy then and pick a fight with the pope?? brother, if you’ve got more notes get a hammer and nail.

I laughed out loud at Anthony Perkins' panel and had to explain what I was laughing at to a coworker and now I look insane.

We interrupt this moment of global catastrophe to bring you a photo of the Roman cacio e pepe dish that Anthony Bourdain called “the greatest thing in the history of the world.”

I like it

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

What two scenes have the same vibe. I'll go first:

'The New American Gothic' Criselda Vasquez Oil on canvas 72” x 48"

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

So. If you don't mind. Just one more thing Mr Hairsbreadth. If it isn't a war, and you're the Secretary of war--- why the fuck are you even involved?

Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

Introducing my babies. Both are rescues I’ve had since they were 3 months old and now they are 11 years old! ❤️ Jack 🦮 and Joan 🐕‍🦺

Headed back to ABQ to celebrate Juneteenth today at Civic Plaza. Chicago Midway ✈️ getting this party started in the terminal right now! ❤️💛💚🖤

Tell Me I’m Pretty - 18x24” acrylic on canvas. Available.

well done

chocolate chip cookies with walnuts, with the chocolate still melty. that's the whole post.

The chunks of blue paint peeling off the bottom of the pool is too much. I can’t. How is this real?

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

No lies detected.

Child Rapists allowed freedom to continue crimes against Children.

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

I don’t think there’s enough of an outrage around the fact that the Iranian World Cup team is not allowed to stay in the US so they have to leave after every game and go to Mexico.

I’m so immature but this is immaculate.

Hm! Oh well. Not my problem.

Dr Brule giving one of my favorite lines of all time, "Romans used to have orgies. But orgies are no fun if nobody wants to do with you." ...or something like that.

Smashwords Summer/Winter sale starts July 1st, so if you were thinking of trying the Suitables or some of the Beings books, I am telling you now that they will be on sale then. (the alt text says this is from Stepbrothers but I think that's Dr. Steve Brule.)

so I live near an intersection with a light that comes right after a long stretch down what is essentially a highway. so people often blast music with their windows down, enjoying their lives, and then reach a red light and turn their music down. well most do. anyway I really enjoy

got the nicest scam email today! so scammy but so flattering!

"russ_and_stacie_sullivan: Good morning, friends! Last night at WaterFire in #Providence, 🔥a bunch of friends from different groups got together for a Signs of Fascism awareness event Signs of #Fascism is an event that highlights historical warning signs of #authoritarianism..." Threads 2-3 👇
