And you are such a good boy, Donny. Such a good, good boy. Isn't he such a good boy, everyone?

this is the way

The backup plan:

Sir we all agree you can violate civil rights and start wars but we will not stand for you messing with the most important and sacred idea that protects every American citizen: the money

Never underestimate the healing power of hearing Pat Hughes say, "Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air!"

There are still more of us than there are of them.

American not only becoming a cult of personality but becoming the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the human species is a lot to process

“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”

A lot of places are about to be bombed in a country far away and a good many people killed because Donald Trump cannot make anyone forget or ignore the accusations of what he did with young girls. That is now the foreign policy of the United States.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

What is something that brought you Joy today? For me, it was a baby lizard in my garden. I accidentally dislodged him from his home. He sat an watched me work soil for a while and it felt like having a visit with a friend.

If you're visiting the rodent exhibit you should probably run. We don't have a rodent exhibit.

the hot tub validates humanity’s inherent desire to become stew

Merlin Bird ID. Duh.

Leave the gun. Take the Sea Bag.

Although short-lived, the sitcom based on 'Deliverance' really pushed the boundaries of what was considered family-friendly comedy television.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

If there's two things we Germans love, it's parades and pig roasts.

Oh no, not “climate stuff”.

A vintage Schnitzelbank poster from Mader's Restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and where I took inspiration for my handle. For those unfamiliar, Schnitzelbank is a silly little nonsense drinking song, and these posters were a staple in all my relatives' basement bars during my youth.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

My 6 year old daughter spied me reading this on my phone and asked, "What's that?" so I invited her closer and let her scroll through the feed while I explained how much Calvin and Hobbes meant to me as a kid. Needless to say, you now have a new fan, Mr. Watterson. 🧡

People, to the extent you have older relatives who cook something you love, try to get the recipe from them while you can. If possible, watch them make it or make it with them. Otherwise, you're going to spend the rest of your life missing those recipes and trying to recreate them.

36 years ago, Valentine's Day 1990, Voyager swung its camera around and took its final photo of Earth as it left the solar system. No matter what troubles we have, remember we are just a Pale Blue Dot sailing in a sea of stardust.

One of my favourite plant facts - Skunk cabbages, a species of arum lily from the Eastern US, are "warm blooded", reaching temperatures ~15-35C warmer than their surroundings (hence the melted snow!) to give them a kickstart in early early spring and access to low-competition pollinators.

Sex is great and all, but local bakeries are starting to sell fresh pączki. Choose wisely.

It snowed enough to sculpt a fat little tyrannosaurus today!

This is so true and has been for 10 years. Stop taking him on one at a time and join together to do it en masse. You’ll all be better off and so will the country.

Worst brewery tour ever. 🍺🤮 From the Rockford Weekly Register-Gazette (published as Rockford Register), January 31, 1857.

TIL the Seattle Seahawks logo is not only inspired by PNW indigenous art but is probably based on a specific Kwakwaka'wakw eagle mask

Honoring President Lincoln’s birthday in Illinois today.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

For those who don't know, this is a finding from 2009 by the EPA which stated greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are heating the Earth and that warming threatens public health and welfare
