Last night I got home after 60 Minutes had already started up and watched what I thought was a lovely piece on Everest sherpas and had no idea about all of the happenings and goings on and I kinda yearn for that short-lived naïveté tbh

Stop everything you’re doing and read this. So much more than a sweet old lady in the park service. Absolute powerhouse of a human being who championed civil rights, workers rights, artists, and so much more. זייל 🕯️

good morning

Ok this bag of chicharrones from the bodega is ACTUALLY saving my life tonight

Listen: if it took me spending [redacted] amount of money that i did NOT know would not be as disposable as it initially was to get humiliated in person in LA to get my NFL team to shape up: FINE.

I love my large sons and i never doubted them for a second except when i totally did

I mean this sincerely: Dallas Goedert just saved my life

Jake, baby, not like this 🦅

If you want to play along, I can confirm that Grandma Patinkin’s cookbook is great, and here is the potato latke recipe. @mandykathryn.bsky.social 🕎

An inspiration, really.

Normally Pepper is raring to go in the morning. She is fine, but it’s so dark and gross out, that even she is like “nah.”

Y’all are still getting bird cards though, I have more of them than I’ll ever need, nothing in my life changes this.

Very important annual test driving of the year end playlist is happening. So far I’m not NOT pleased with myself.

Adolis García is going to unplug Morgan Wallen from the aux in the Phillies clubhouse and it’s going to be like one of those shouting scenes from Invasion of the Body Snatchers

A reminder that Starbucks is still on strike.

This is also a tragedy that ought to be making national headlines…or better yet ought never have happened at all.

Penny the cat, noted Packers fan, absolutely just leapt off the couch after that incomplete pass, and flopped herself down by the goose rug to sulk. I respect it.

The latkening 🕎🥔

Moral of the story: I will never leave Merrion Square pub for a Birds game again. Even yelling at them with my face was not enough.

Philadelphia legend Tanner McKee

Just finished a snowy but delightful Central Park bird count! There are still more throughout NYC! Find the next ones at Nico’s link.

Thank god 🦅🏈

Jalen Hurts won Philadelphia a Super Bowl, he could wear a hat with my home address and instructions on how to plant a pipe bomb on it if he wanted to.

Have not seen this! Did not know this! Thanks @jocelynanderson.bsky.social for all your wonderful posts.

Getting up early to walk in the park in freezing temperatures with beloved former colleagues will fix me (earnest post)

Whenever I’ve been away for any period of time there’s always a weird re-entry period where I utterly forget how to New York. Bus what? Subway who? Y cold tho?

[sighs deeply]

How blessed am I to be watching such a stupid game with my face.

GO BIRDS

The fact that I have been to SoFi Stadium more times this year than the Bank and the Linc combined but FEWER times than I’ve been to Citi Field is between me and my God but what I’m saying is LET’S GO BIRDS

Had a yellow-rumped warbler keep me company by the hotel pool today so that was nice

GAME DAY GO BIRDS DO NOT EMBARRASS ME I HAVE COME A VERY LONG WAY AND SPENT NOT-QUITE-AS-DISPOSABLE-AS-IT-USED-TO-BE INCOME

I don’t know what stage of middle age this is, but traveling with other people has shown me that I am at a point in my life where I no longer care if you hear me in the bathroom. Be free, friends. Release yourself from the shame of using the bathroom for what a bathroom is for. ✨

See this is the kind of outside the box communications thinking I bring to the table, hmu, employers ✨

This would be infinitely more entertaining if they had to bob into a giant bucket of water for these little Pokémon balls. ⚽️

At least give Gretzky and Judge a crossword or something to pass the time out there.

I will never cast aspersions on any awards show for running some clock ever again after this nonsense. It’s not even fun to hate watch. ⚽️

Nessun Dorma? Oh this is gonna be GOOFY goofy ⚽️

The “Go Birds” menacing has started at 7:30 am in the JFK concourse. You are welcome.

There is someone here at the natural history museum using Chat GPT on speaker to ask it questions that are ably answered by the exhibit he is standing in front of: should I kill him y/n

What do you mean the German word for heartbreak is herzschmerz

Mistaken for Irish (again). Take one shot of Tully. Do not pass Go.

I don’t know if it’s a testament to not traveling as much this year, or the fact that hotels now do the dispenser thingy, but I had to go buy a bottle of shampoo for the first time in years. We used to have a civilization, says me.

Rabbit rabbit

The next time the Eagles play I will be there in person and ambivalent is a nice word for how I feel about that.

Don’t you let me down you beautiful idiots (football content)

I have had a whirlypop for 20 years. It rules. I say this as somebody who loves popcorn so much that I will consume whatever size receptacle you give to me. The whirlypop also makes for a satisfyingly large snack that does not tip into the realm of gluttony. Whirlypop forever.

if you steal a cell phone or wallet in paris they kick you out of the french thieve's guild for insufficient whimsy

I feel this so hard, why are so many of you so wrong, eat dinner at dinner time you weirdos

Please avenge us, uh, [checks notes] Kansas City Chiefs (is this right? Ok sure fine whatever)
