So how on Earth am I going to see BigBang when they’re in Oakland the same time I’m in LA to see BTS. Am I about to fly cross country the day of their show in New Jersey?? Or act really irresponsibly and try for the show in Taipei around my birthday??? (Presuming I can even get tix)

Yo, so all that saging and collective good will really worked!!!

So glad I witnessed a man saging Madison Square Garden for the Knicks. Lots of “WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!” back and forth with passersby happened.

I miss my cats (have been away from them for five days)

NEW: Neighbors are coming together to fight back against D.C.'s mosquitoes. Want to join them? @samdelgado.bsky.social shares how:

There's a tiktok sound that goes something like "who the hell is we cause you ain't talking about me" and that's all I can think when reading this quote.

Imagining an old Southern lady shaking her head and musing "these are not the teeth of content individuals, bless their hearts."

Learning how to scuba dive just meant learning 1001 ways the ocean can/will kill me *even when being as safe as possible.* I want to dive in lots of risky places, but you won't catch me in any underwater cave systems!

A cuter basket baby there never was.

Just thinking about how I made better looking videos with no training and a selfie stick in my apartment building all. And each one got at least tens of thousands of views! No reason at all why this is coming to mind now.

I found a dog on the sidewalk this week, and the terror that washed over me as I contemplated upending my day/household to help this poor lost puppy. She was reunited with her owner shortly after, but...this better not be a sign of things to come. The cat distribution system already got us!

She has spent decades helping others struggling to make ends meet. Now the rising cost of gas and groceries has left Dalene Basden feeling the strain herself. n.pr/42TULro

Then you have sickos like me, reading up on/watching fanwars but never participating.

My dad, buying a Pomeranian puppy after months of research finding a reputable breeder who showed her dogs. Us, walking by a bush at 1am and meowing at an outdoor cat.

Miss Jubilee had to have her six month check-up echocardiogram today — and her cardiologist reports she was “a perfect angel as always.” She’s furious with me, but at least I know her little heart is going strong and looks better than ever.

@dogunderwater.bsky.social can’t find her phone and just muttered “can’t even post about losing my phone.” Diagnosis: Poster’s Disease

This is one of the few looks I've seen from tonight so far that fits the brief. How has the "Fashion is Art" theme been so freaking boring so far???

My trainer is making me do burpees and deadlifts today, and I told him I’m looking at him with hate in my heart 🫶

One of our neighbor’s cats regularly stops by our backyard and whenever I see him, I try to give him a treat and scritches. It’s only an issue when I’m working in the office and can see him on the backyard cam, waiting for me. Sorry buddy, next time!

For much of my childhood, we frequented a tiny video store run by a pleasantly stoned Asian dude in his 40s. He'd chat with my dad about laser discs, recommend ever-so-slightly age-inappropriate movies to me and waived late fees when my younger bro fixated on a rented movie. I miss that so much.

I'm not on reddit, but it delights me someone noticed/heard it this weekend.

Our new (orange) cat LaserTag is fascinated by the toilet flushing, and I have a sinking feeling he’s gonna fall/jump into it one day* — and it will be awful for all of us. *I close the lid to flush bc aerosolized particulates but this dude likes to jam his face under the lid

this is a good example of why breaking news situations are difficult. this one happened in a room full of journalists and i’ve seen at least three different and conflicting narratives

/EYE/ would simply not cheat on Megan Thee Stallion, but what do I know!!!

Trader Joe's had these amazing super sour gummies which became my candy fixation in the limited time they were available. Anyone know of any similar candies I can try? Musts: -almost marshmallow-y texture while still being chewy -SUPER SOUR (like, almost too sour)

Just gotta say: if you ever hear kpop on All Things Considered, it's because I'm directing the show.

I promised myself a fancy coffee and sandwich for working this weekend and hitting personal records in three lifts — both my coffee and sandwich were taken by the wrong people, with my name on them! Are we just taking orders Willy-nilly without checking if they’re ours? Don’t we live in a SOCIETY?

The good: I hit a new deadlift PR! The meh: only 5lbs up from my previous PR. The really good: I’m still the first in my bloodline to lift heavy like this 💁🏻‍♀️

If I must continue to exist, I WILL be treating myself. It's the only way!

the thing about us millennials is that once we adopt some slang we find funny (usually in an ironic way), we'll use it to death we'll slangmog you forever

I just asked one of my closest friends to just please agree with me that we can throw this week into a volcano. So if you’d like to join us, please throw your week into this volcano. Just a hearty “AWAY!” will do it.

On a similar note: if you think people grieving their pets on social media is "engagement farming," your brain has been COOKED TO WELL DONE by social media and you should log off and smell a flower. Feel the breeze on your face. Fly a kite!

I've officially seen more posts complaining about all the "my pet died" posts than I have actual "my pet died" posts. Enough with the complaining, people, just tl;dr and scroll on by! Mute related keywords if you must, my god.

A kpop girl group called "Unchild" will debut next week, and I cannot CANNOT with this name.

My back squat is now up to 185lbs, so a weight that seemed impossibly high once upon a time is now a benchmark.

Six days after we had a FREEZE warning in this area, we're already breaking heat records!

there are zero (0) cats required for this task sir

Jubilee never even deigned to look at this cat scratcher let alone use it…until we got another cat who loves lounging on it. Now she’s all about it.

There is LITERALLY a long-haired dachshund sitting in someone’s lap in this Broadway theatre right now. I only noticed during intermission.

Bruh I know his cousins hate him because they’re parents are for sure asking “why can’t you be like Jonny”

This feels like the punchline of a Seinfeld episode, I love it so much.

Setting aside the broader existential crisis of the overall "we live in a society but this rule doesn't apply to me" sentiment, I guarantee Clover would rather nap in a sunny spot at home than be on that Wonder Wheel.

My bench PR jumped from 85lbs to 105, which means I’m now benching with 25lb plates, a thing that once seemed laughably impossible.

“There’s something poetic about Mark Lee leaving NCT the same day that Jesus died” is not a sentence I ever expected to a) hear and b) understand.

Oh hey, I also have an extremely muscular 13 pound blond cat who beats me up on the daily…he is also quite unapologetic about any of it

Bubble boy

Aura V is the youngest-ever individually named Grammy winner. But the 8-year-old still struggles with division and would appreciate extra time on the playground at recess. n.pr/4mfWvEB

So uh how little journalism can our society get by with Asking for a friend

It's so grim watching journalism jobs vanishing right before our eyes. Not only were those positions once filled by talented, passionate people, every time one disappears, it leaves another crack in our media landscape for impt stories and voices to slip through.

That Christmas shoes song and OMG by Usher come to mind
