I am about to eat something that may be a really bad idea. I have a pouch of jasmine rice that expired last month. I cooked it in the microwave as per instructions and then put it in a pan with some spices and a bit of sesame oil.

Nerd Confession: I have never seen the movie ‘Resident Evil’. Watching it now.

Oh no!!! Not my Oingo!!

Send them to DC.

Heatwaves also involve layers upon layers of inequality—like when we learn that the French police punctured and then dismantled a pool bought by young people in a low-income neighborhood. Which probably don't have any air conditioning. We really need to change everything.

I am so confused by this rhetoric. Mamdani endorsed people, a thing politicians often do, and they won, and you don't like that result. In what way is the party blown up. It still seems to exist. Other, different politicians also won last night.

“Holy shit, what the fuck am I doing?” said the 55-year-old Knoxville, who was seen in the footage shrugging at the camera before taking a few shaky steps and then losing his balance as the rest of the cast laughed hysterically in the background.

This from 2021 looks really damn prescient today. “There have been many destructive earthquakes on this plate, particularly magnitude 7 and above around Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, in 1812 and 1900,”

When the weather is hot, it’s a good idea to hide inside where it’s cool and read a book. And if you’re looking for fast, gripping reads with great characters and mind blowing ideas, these could be the books for you! Published by @titanbooks.bsky.social and available from all good book sellers

I have an English muffin and fresh made coffee. Sitting down with season 2 of The Chestnut Man.

This is an incredibly stupid move that will likely mean the end of @crockett.house.gov's climb in Texas Democratic politics.

Not my best work, but felt like this was what's on the menu for Bsky today.

"Why do innocent people flee the police?" Idk, maybe the fact that they kill newborn babies and puppies might have something to do with it. Just saying.

Goodnight, friends. A reminder both for #Pride and for living under fascism - "There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone; Hunger allows no choice To the citizen or the police; We must love one another or die." (from W.H. Auden's poem, "September 1, 1939") I love you.

it's The Mix, Badlands, and Toad Hall right now. absolutely unforgivable that, in this moment of state repression against queer people, gay bars are deciding to surveil their patrons.

So it turns out that the pathetic Nazi thugs who threw Molotovs out of their prams in Belfast last week are Russian puppets. Having your strings pulled by Putin makes you a gullible joke to be laughed at, not a “patriot”

How do we make sense of Trump's seemingly nonsensical comments on Iran? I'd say: look to Trump's reverence for The Power of Positive Thinking and its author, Norman Vincent Peale. Peale, you see, argues that if you believe hard enough that something will happen, you can will it into being. 1/🧵

Can you blame them? Their rent has tripled

“By this Friday, 53 measles cases had been detected in four counties in Southeastern and Central Pennsylvania, the state’s biggest outbreak in more than 30 years… Lancaster, which has some of the lowest kindergarten vaccination rates in the state, has been a hot spot all year”

FBI agents on Thursday raided the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a pro-democracy organization that helps register voters in that state, according to three people briefed on the search.

JASON BLUM: Yes, this is Jason Blum. Me: Hey Jason. JASON BLUM: Cargill! What have you got for me? Me: What do you know about scaffolding? JASON BLUM: …is it haunted scaffolding? Me: …it could be. JASON BLUM: Let me get my checkbook.
