Me, this morning.

Surprised that Mitch McConnell hasn't put out a statement about Lindsey Graham yet. They worked together for decades!

Quite the legacy you've left, Senator Graham.

Brooklyn craft beer packaging goes hard

Ok, I don't sport, but I do love a good story, and this is adorable.

June is Lavender and Daisy month in my part of Oregon, and the plants I put in two Autumns ago are finally mature and attracting new neighbors. Victory!

Stacy's mom Is not my date to prom

I've been thinking about the Butlerian Jihad a lot lately.

Travis McGee on Enshittifcation

I distinctly remember a Dana Carvey standup bit from 35 years ago about how no one looks masculine when drinking out of a straw...but like...that can't be the genesis of all this, can it?

About halfway through @tkingfisher.com 's Briony and Roses and my current elevator pitch is "Robin McKinley's Beauty updated for the AI era." So far, most excellent.

Matchbox 21.5

Happy 226th Birthday to John Brown, the only white boy to ever truly understand the assignment

I would like to take a moment to thank TLC for the primer on the identification and avoidance of scrubs. My kids and I had a lively discussion on the topic, followed by a dance break. Parents, take the time to talk to your kids about scrubs. #TLC #Parenting #NoScrubs

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

Jesus this is an on-point statue right about now www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ok, so, what hit song do you just loathe, and why? For me it's Before He Cheats. Only a breakup song written by men would have a woman protagonist so stupid she gleefully signs her name to an act of criminal vandalism. Ok, dummy, you got your vengeance. Enjoy jail.

A short story in three CNN headlines

Yup

Finished the poppy! Now to find time to do more! This blazer is gonna be a long-term project. #embroidery

Poppy Progress. I'm really happy with how it's coming along! In between this and my last project reading glasses became a requirement. Less psyched about that. But let's focus on the poppy! #embroidery

Pocket Poppy Progress. Finally unblocked myself and started a new embroidery project. The first flower of what will hopefully be a very cluttered blazer.

The President of the United States has cheerily threatened genocide. What more could it take for literally anyone else in his circle to decide enough is enough? Will they let him go through with it? What if he threatens nukes? What if he orders them? How many have to die for their ambition?

He's gotten delightfully savage in his old age.

Perfect. No notes.

GNU SIR TERRY PRATCHETT Signal this to all towers, not logged. ‘He’d never have wanted to go home. He was a real linesman. His name is in the code, in the wind in the rigging and the shutters. Haven’t you ever heard the saying “A man’s not dead while his name is still spoken”?’ Going Postal

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Every movie I think of I think GOT IT! Then I think...hmm that'd be interesting though... So far: Stand By Me K-Pop Demon Hunters Aliens Harold and Maude Princess Bride Spinal Tap O Brother Where Art Thou Hedwig and the Angry Inch Sinners The winner? My Dinner With Andre.

Flavor Flav is a mensch.

Not wrong.

Ok, first off, not defending Epstein. BUT we need to keep our heads on straight. Sulfuric acid is not just for dissolving bodies, despite what we see in Tarantino movies. It's required for water desalinization.... Like you might need on an island. www.snopes.com/fact-check/e...

Bad Bunny seems like Good People.

Can I just fast-forward to when Mamdani is President and everything is wholesome again?

Well said!

You can see pretti’s hands under the pile all the way up to where gray jacket guy takes the gun. Pretti clearly never pulled it out.

😕🇺🇸

I just thought everyone should see this

Renee Nicole Good She was 37. She and her wife had just dropped off their 6 year old at school. They were new in town. She was murdered by ICE today.

Once again, for the people in back!

“Of course, it doesn’t feel right to want IT to HAPPEN. And it’s obviously not okay to try to make IT HAPPEN. That’s not what this is ABOUT, just to make things CLEAR LEGALLY as far as VARIOUS AGENCIES are concerned.” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/whe...

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Petty and small. Pathetic.

Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

My 12-year-old is really into Strong Bad right now, watching videos, playing music, quoting, etc... I realized this is exactly like my Monty Python/Tom Lehrer phase as a tween/teen... I'm the Boomer now.
