Ah, this one was on the Zillow Goes Wild show with Jack MacBrayer. It is truly tacky, but 100% in ways that I'd embrace.

I think I may have cracked it

After seeing what Altman said today, I don't know how we ever took any of these people seriously. They are so cooked in their own cesspool of superiority.

Wait, we had a synagogue ramming *and* a university shooting today?

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

📽️ Hedda: Tessa Thompson's arch mid-Atlantic accent is a giveaway that everything Hedda Gabler does is calculated for her amusement and advancement. Hedda uses charisma to sow chaos and contempt, especially her own for herself. Lush costuming, lean side characters. filmsky

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I can say Chili's will not be my choice when we're randomly charging up the car in some shopping mall in the countryside, though. Hello, Applebee's!

We stumbled into an enchanting dessert & cocktail restaurant in Livermore a few weeks ago. Coffee by day, Mardi Gras by night! My review: thegourmez.com/blog/2026-03...

When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too. New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary—about Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis—for termination. His reason is shocking. 🧵

On March 24th, 2026, I will give away a 16x20T print of this image of Bodie Island Light House and Milky Way to one of my paid Patreon Subscribers (either paid level). Subscribers get early access to new photos, and top level subscribers get discounts on prints and calendars. Link below.

If you want to understand the ideology behind the current push to censor the Smithsonian and National Parks, you should listen to this interview. I know there's a lot going on in the world. But if you have the capacity to listen, I strongly encourage you to do so. 🗃️

Pretty sure the Kool-Aid man stayed in this hotel room once

Still road-tripping and I'm not driving, so I can have this amazing pistachio mai tai! Pistachio-infused rum, zapaca rum, cointreau, lime, pistachio orgeat, and a white chocolate garnish. It is BOOZY, friends!

Quicksand sign, what?!!

The joy of learning is why I chose UCSC and its pass/no pass system for my bachelor's degree over UC Berkeley. Esteem and constant competition? Or learning for love, with beaches and redwoods? I chose right for me.

Last early sunset of 2026. This time tomorrow, I will be jubilant that the sun still has an hour to shine!

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Behold! A Yaks on 5 OMG Burger and their super fun decor. I'm very glad my husband and I have reached the stage where we know splitting a plate is sometimes the wisest choice. 😆🍽️🍔

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Yes,yes this is what my husband and I picked to do to celebrate our 20th anniversary - take pictures with my bridal veil at roadside attractions and landmarks.

This is a great pairing for tonight's Story Hour reading! Go watch 'em at 7pm PT! I'll be packing for my 20th anniversary trip instead, so go on my behalf!

Although I still have to look up the differences between sake rice polishing grades every time, I enjoy reviewing them for my blog! Here's Gekkeikan Black & Gold, a Californian sake you can find at most stores: thegourmez.com/blog/2026-03...

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

Hi friends! I know this is a strange question to post on Bluesky, 🙃 but how do you seek joy in your life? I am cool with any answer: looking at pictures of kittens, praising your God, complimenting people you pass. Whatever it is, I just want to add some more joy into my outlook!

The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine has quite a few peacocks just roaming around. Here’s one of the more typical birds, but there are striking all-white peacocks as well! #peacock #usa #florida #staugustine #birdphotos #photography #photos #birds

Big Pine Lake #3 and Temple Crag, North Fork Big Pine Creek Trail, Inyo National Forest, California.

*nods* I was raised in this worldview. A little surprised commanders are being so obvious about it, but otherwise... Not surprised.

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.” I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

📽️ Hamnet: A lot like Train Dreams! But set 300 years earlier and ending with Shakespeare's wife learning that theater can be cathartic. Sumptuous cinematography, committed acting, an appealing tale of connection to the natural world, the written word, and a dad who works a lot. #filmsky

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Guess I'm lucky that our most recently deceased author is a name I barely recognize, based on the responses. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My rocks are blooming! 🤩 (This is the "split rock" succulent.) 🌱

Questions for These Modern Times: is it worth my time to delete my Pinterest account or should I continue to just let it languish unused for years?

The US 'Dept. of War' has threatened to remove Anthropic from their systems, designate them a “supply chain risk” (like foreign adversaries) and invoke the Defense Production Act to force safeguard removal. To call that alarming would be an understatement.

How did I miss this?

🍸 National Espresso Martini Day is coming up on March 15, and National Cocktail Week on March 24, and I'm here to tell you that Toucan Cocktails are a great choice for celebrating! The espresso martini happened to be one of my favorites....full review here: thegourmez.com/blog/2026-02...

I'd heard that some vaccinations for kids given in the late 70s/early 80s might be wearing off, and with measles on the rise, I wanted to be sure I couldn't contract them! So I checked my titers, and I am still immune to measles and rubella...but not to mumps! New MMR shot? Yes, please.

Eon Coffee in Hayward going for full artistic points today with my usual: the cacao cappuccino. 🖼️👩🏼‍🎨☕

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

Is it me or have we entered the mumble zone? #sotu

Six years ago, Ahmaud Arbery was jogging. That was enough to be a death sentence. We remember his life, as a constant charge to continue the fight for justice, humanity, accountability, and an end to the poison of white supremacy.

Because you deserve nice things, feast on this drone footage of a blue whale.

Just watching the Closing Ceremonies now - I have no idea what was happening during the opening opera segment, but what a great feast for the ears and eyes!

I love it, but it's just a pattern? One of y'all are going to need to make it for me. L, please.

📽️ Dust Bunny: This film relies on kid logic, and thus the plot does not always make sense while also ALWAYS making sense. There is a monster in a young girl's floorboards and no one believes her except for the assassin she hires to kill it. Stylized, colorful, fun, scary, Mads Mikkelson. #filmsky
