Peppermint Patty never apologized. Remember that.

Time for the annual viewing of the greatest Thanksgiving-themed film ever.

I don't agree with Mark Kelly on everything. I wish he was a little less friendly with big oil, and I wish he was a little more open to Medicare for All (among other things). But I respect him. (1/4) www.cnn.com/2025/11/24/p...

Post a movie where you are from No, it's not the titular location, but there aren't any others that I know of that have substantial ties as a plot/setting. Several have been filmed there, but few have been set there.

I don’t want to feel like I deal with things alone. So if you all deal with anxiety, can yall repost this? Just so I don’t feel alone.

Wake up, babe. Fire new insult just dropped.

ICE and BP have attracted only the best candidates to fill their bloated and cruel ranks.

I'm curious how much Universal Pictures paid Google to include ads for 'Wicked: For Good' to this month's Pixel Drop. They aren't aesthetically terrible, but it's still in poor taste to pass off advertising as a "feature" being added to a phone I've already paid for. blog.google/products/pix...

The fact that this isn't the biggest story today is terrifying.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

A bunch of us: "In the face of unprecedented attacks on civil liberties, constitutional norms, due process, and the safety and welfare of the American people, we need the Democrats to fucking grow a spine already." Democrats:

Idiom Origin “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible. A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on. This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

So there's another new vinyl format, a 4" disc called "Tiny Vinyl", which for now is exclusive (at least in the US) to Target stores. As opposed to the 3" records introduced by Crosley (?), these don't require specialized hardware to play. They're cute, they're interesting, but…

It's the most impressive restoration/rebuild of a classic computer I can ever remember having seen, courtesy of @polymatt.bsky.social. When I saw @lgr-yt.bsky.social's original video for this machine, it felt heartbreaking. Maybe it's "just" a computer, but there aren't many of these models left.

You know what's still a really fun experience? Drive-in movie theaters.

The perfect donut shop doesn't ex… Nevermind. These donuts are just right. (with @spoiledprincess.bsky.social)

One reason I love listening to X-Ray Spex is because I believe punk rock and saxophones belong together.

Since we're baseball's off-season and I've already seen this issue come up in articles and comments regarding roster movement, I'd like to make an important announcement: "RESIGN" and "RE-SIGN" are totally different things. Please do not use one when you mean the other. Thank you.

In the future, I have no doubt that legal historians will judge the Roberts court — this particular incarnation of it — as the most spineless Supreme Court ever. #SCOTUS

Dear State of Florida: Wanna prevent taxpayer money from funding Islamic schools? Stop funding Christian schools. Easy. Public funds should serve public means, not sectarian ones. Let the churches fund their own schools. Don't get mad when OTHER religious groups use the programs YOU set up.

Libraries matter. Access matters. After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember. @arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Reminder: Treat your trick-or-treaters well. OR ELSE!

Update: I've been doing observations at a local middle school for one of my classes. Students there are also wearing them. Is this how some of my high school teachers felt when I wore my The Doors shirt? (The only radio stations in town I liked were NPR and classic rock, so I heard them a lot.)

This evening's viewing is an undisputed masterpiece of seasonal genre films: John Carpenter's 'Halloween' (1978) #FilmSky #Halloween #Horror

Released 44 years ago "Nazi Punks Fuck Off", the fifth and most important single by the Dead Kennedys Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off (In Studio) #punk #punks #punkrock #DeadKennedys #nazipunksfuckoff #history #punkrockhistory

Can’t buy snacks Can’t buy soda Can’t buy steak Can’t buy seafood Can’t get canned goods Can’t get deserts Why do you need organic/gluten free, you can’ afford that! I am sick of it. You don’t know what people should/need to eat

A clip from 'Porky's Preview' (1941), dir. by Tex Avery "…because I'm an artist!" #LooneyTunes #animation

60 scenes from television that shaped my love of animation (in chronological order, 1 episode per show). My 2nd is actually a short, the brilliant Duck Amuck but Chuck Jones... youtu.be/6QZDeDsadDs?...

Time for the annual viewing of 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'

The #WPBL (Women's Pro #Baseball League) announced that the four teams participating in the inaugural season in 2026 will be based in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. I'll do my best not to allow my distaste for the men's teams from 3 of those to influence my enjoyment. 😂⚾

HVAC at home developed a leak. All the coolant staged a prison break. Bad news: It'll be almost $1,800 to fix (parts are under warranty, so that's just labor & coolant). Good news: It's not super hot outside, at least. Annoying news: Tech was pushing for a new unit. This one's only 7 years old.

Continued Observations at [Enormous Public State] University: I've seen at least a dozen other students wearing Nirvana shirts just today. Considering most of them were likely born around/after 2000, I wonder how much this is influence by parents, marketing, finding the band organically-ish, etc.

stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

Dear @mariners.com: Dude‽ The heck‽

Starbucks using a cover of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" in a commercial just feels so wrong.

I really wish the Brewers could have come out of that first set at least 1-1 but... Snell and Yamamoto just put on absolute clinics. So fun to watch.

I met former Major League outfielder Rocky Colavito once. We sat at the same table before a Rays game. I was filling out my scorecard. He was eating a hot dog.

The Children They Sold They Don’t Want You to Know About: Thousands of free Black kids were kidnapped and erased from history. medium.com/@gxldsociety...

Here's one for the "it can't happen here" crowd: People are hiding women & children from violent raids by masked agents who have intel on private gun ownership. If anyone needs me, I'll be here waiting for the "Don't Tread On Me" crowd to leap into action. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Question for #RelationshipSky My waitress brought me a slice of cannoli cake for free. Is she hitting on me?

I was going to get katsu at this little sushi place I like, but I always forget that they close between lunch and dinner service. So I'm at a pizza joint across the plaza. Can you tell they're Chicago-style? They specialize in thin-crust, though. It's really good.

Required reading: “Performative allyship can obscure the need for deeper struggle and pacify calls for justice. It often shifts the spotlight away from oppressed people – marginalized, Indigenous, and especially Black voices – and onto White comfort, or worse, White privilege.”
