I ordered a new pill case because now that Ive turned 50 I’m a) adding a new med and/or supplement to the roster at an alarming rate and b) forgetting whether I’ve taken them when I’m supposed to, and let this be a warning to all of you to pay attention to what you’re buying.

Tell me why this emoji looks like a slightly squished, more emotive Mark Zuckerberg

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

PSA to everyone digging a gas-powered car out of the snow to PLEASE CHECK YOUR TAILPIPE before you drive (not a euphemism). I just had to run up to a guy I was stopped behind to tell him his was completely packed with snow.

Now do schools.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

smdh ice on ice crime

We didn’t get to go home to Georgia this year because of a kid with the flu (yes, he was vaccinated, so it’s blessedly mild) but Junebug and my mom’s dog Barley celebrated together apart

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Would you like to watch Hattie Mae eat some snacks?

A fun fact about the Candyman movies is that the first two had a renowned Bee Guy doing Bee Wrangling for the films but with the third movie Candyman Day of the Dead being low budget they assumed they couldn’t afford the renowned Bee Man but he was like “no…this is about the bees” and came back

I couldn’t love our pediatrician more.

I would like all of you, each and every one, to go google “Miss Universe National Costume Competition 2025 Norway” right now

this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

what if we just kept Mamdani in the oval office? like as a field trip chaperone??

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

It’s Saturday, which means we can all thank our labor unions for this two day break from ruining the workplace

The old world* is dying. The new world** is waiting to be born.*** Now is the time of monsters.**** * Dick Cheney ** Mamdani *** elected **** They did the mash

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

so many amazing signs at No Kings DC today, along with MULTIPLE inflatable axolotls—what a dream!

Strongly recommend this thread from a friend of mine for explanations and nuance. Tl;dr, Dismissed does NOT mean not guilty, it means the case was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

Lucy Dacus just married about a dozen couples on stage at All Things Go and even though marriage is a horrible idea and it’s crazy anyone chooses to do it, I’m trying to hold it together in front of the teens I’m with because blubbering would definitely get me kicked out of the cool mom club

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

no crime in DC my ass

I go to Houston for TWO DAYS and when I come back we’re getting raptured? What did you people do?

The Home Depot skeletons have unionized and they're fighting for better bonefits

My #teen took me as her date to the Ethel Cain concert last night and I haven’t seen a crowd this hyped up since Neil Diamond opened with Coming to America a week after 9/11.

We share this graph as often as we can. #UnionStrong

the ol’ office pothos is having a real Sistine Chapel ceiling moment

They want more MOMS at home. And not just because they hate women. Their *economic* model depends on unpaid labor. And the most effective way to coerce unpaid labor is to create a second class of people and teach them that they're only "naturally" suited for labor they're forced to do for free.

I agree with John Roberts that our schools should do more to explain how much of today’s crisis stems from outrageous rulings by courts like his.

I think we are great risk of a future where unregulated use of tech turns America’s educational system into something even more segregated and classist than it is today - poor kids get largely automated “education” and surveillance discipline, rich kids get gentle low-tech instruction from humans.

I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan. (thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)

"This is highly worrying. Trump has issued an executive order that basically is supposed to make it possible to use military forces as 'law enforcement' & paves way for militias 'aiding' police w legal impunity. They are preparing to violently quash expected riots." www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Kinda glad we eat clams. Why are they happier than me

Artificial Onetelligence, I know so much about it and how great it is for our children, I could just go on and on about A1 as I like to call it for short, it’s sort of a nickname used by us folks who know a lot about education and artificiality and onetelligence and whatnot,

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...

If people change their username and profile picture I’m sorry but I can’t remember you. You’re Kermit the Frog, you’re Macho Man, you’re Professor Guy, I’m fucked up soccer sun that’s just who we are here. It’s like the beginning of Reservoir Dogs, it’s best we know each other this way

this guy should call his senator tbh

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Denver has come out to see AOC & Bernie tonight. But, IUPAT President Jimmy Williams just set the crowd alight 🔥 “I have a message to the Democratic Party: GET OFF YOUR ASS! “We are not gonna poll our way out. We are not gonna consult our way out. We are gonna organize our way out." 👏

AHHHH LOOK AT HIM

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

Always look to see what the tech bros want for their own kids: small class sizes with human teachers, human tutors with expert content knowledge, cell phone restrictions in classrooms, high per pupil spending, the arts and humanities--and much more they say is too costly for public schools.
