Our national sport is American on American violence.

Spent the morning shredding files from 20 years of work. In a month I'll be leaving the job that has been the majority of my working life. It feels strange!

Good night. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Girl, same.

Facebook Marketplace is the Wild West. No sir, I will not drive from Raleigh to Fayetteville to sell you a $15 item.

My queer gym is having a financial crunch and has started a fundraiser This gym is amazing and deserves to be supported If you could find it in you to donate - even $1 - you'll be doing the world a load of good and make me extremely happy and grateful

And friends in other cities are preparing by using their school networks to organize food delivery and other supports in place before ICE arrives.

If there's one thing we've been shown will win in all of those places, it's running a bland campaign on the well known and well loved brand "Democratic Party." So, of course, the best thing he can do is focus on the price of eggs and let the Brand do its work, right?

Mamdani won for a lot of reasons, and "actually standing for something" is a big one. And it's the one the Democratic Consulting Agencies really want to ignore. The last thing they want is to draw attention to how soulless and generic most of their candidates are.

I am now a person who has strong opinions on hoof-trimming videos.

Tuesday works too!

You do get to choose who you are going to be in this current moment. That's all you can control [and even that is a challenge].

This is perhaps an underdiscussed reason for Mamdani's success. He was running for an office whose previous four occupants were all thinking about seeking higher office, often at the expense of doing their actual job. He made it clear that he actually wanted to be mayor. Cuomo definitely did not.

Mamdani is a municipal politician who needed to demonstrate that he understood the scope of the office he was running for. Schumer is supposed to be running an effective opposition party and be responding to the largest Constitutional crisis this country has ever experienced.

The worst Wendy's in the world is closed. Someone finally put it out of its misery.

This is also Hank Williams Jr.'s curse.

One heartening thing is that our friends in Minneapolis who were relatively apolitical are now participating in protests and community action for the first time.

Happy MLK Day!

I found someone who will take my mom's Pfalzgraff set off my hands. 🎉🎉🎉

We do not post to be popular. We post because we are weird little goblin people with super niche interests and several forms of neurodivergence

Looking for food/restaurant recommendations for Chicago as well.

The Lord is testing Pope Leo.

Scratch that. Bitterly cold and disappointed.

I'm headed to Chicago next weekend and it looks like everyone is going to be in a good mood? Or is there still more game?

The Football Discourse is high quality tonight (I have no idea what's going on and no need to know, haha)

The journal prompt was: "What would you do if you live to be 100 years old?"

Some unfortunate letter reversal.

I now completely understand why a majority of people never deal with their things and just die and leave it for someone else to deal with.

A quiet lesson my parents taught me at a very young age was to leave things for other people to enjoy. Whenever we took a hike or go camping we were never allowed to pick wildflowers or leave a mess. This reinforced that we live in a shared space and that it was important to treat it that way.

Man, I wish The Residence hadn't been cancelled.

radicalism is often dressed in the clothes of the ordinary. in my tradition we call it not letting the left hand know what the right is doing, or going to your room and praying with the damn door closed

and the last whale, like the last man, smoke his last pipe, and then himself evaporate in the final puff

Maybe a year or so ago my husband told me about low-background steel. I think about it a lot in terms of information integrity in the A.I./digital age and what we consider to be "uncontaminated data" equivalents now and in the future. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-bac...

Just remembered to turn off the 6:30 a.m. alarm. Please clap.

This is such a clear and convincing piece of writing

It was much funnier than I thought it would be. Also, South Korean cinema continues to control the market on class consciousness.

Headed out to see No Other Choice.

The other amazing buy you can find there are their bags of mini avocados. I don't know if the smaller ones are less prone to bruising, but we rarely get a bad one, which is a minor miracle when it comes to avocados.

Hit the jackpot and found a bag of perfectly ripe pears at Lidl yesterday.

time to revive the aesthetic of this perfect video

Duane Train is filling in @wfmu.bsky.social! Things are looking up!

There ain’t nothing worth saving, Except one another. —Willie Nelson, “Walkin’”

Because it's an ethnic cleansing. That's what they're doing, and that's what they want. We need to be clear about this.

“Sustained by what we have inherited from the past and what we witness, we will have the courage to resist and continue resisting in as yet unimaginable circumstances. We will learn how to wait in solidarity.” -John Berger, Confabulations, "How to Resist A State of Forgetting" #everynightapoem

Boarded up.
