I am completely in love

Sixpence None The Richer? More like Mike Pence done got a fly on his head! #comedy

Blood orange chocolate cookies (vegan) I just think they're neat!

not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

New from me in Amtrak Magazine: The Defining Gesture of Our Time? The Jerk-off Motion I hope you give it a read the next time your train is stopped on the tracks two miles from La Rochelle!

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Lilith Fair? She sure is!

PHILOMENA CUNK: It was actually illegal in England for The Obese to be employed in the film business until 1983. Why do you think that was? JIMINY GLICK: [ignoring question, high pitched voice] Have you ever noticed how lesbians and British women dress the same? [sudden low pitch] Why is that?

Sunstein is both naive and stupid, and will believe the Supreme Court is a bastion of liberalism even as he's being sent to Adrian Vermuele's lib reeducation camps

In my day we didn't have Joe Rogan. We had Gene Parmesan, and he filled us with delight with each new disguise. He burned to death in 2008.

Any YIMBY who thinks the thoughtful policy wonks in this administration are going to promote infill development and, like, Small Towns urbanism instead of Turbosprawl and paving over Yosemite should be banned from social media for six months until they relearn critical thought.

Hey! This sucks! we need to burn DHS and ICE to the ground, not give them more money. You should be ashamed of yourselves @sethmoulton.bsky.social @trahan.house.gov @billkeating.bsky.social

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

The Times is doing a weekly series on fruit/veggies and their nutrition. They break down vitamins/minerals, always stress how healthy the foods are, and include nice recipes. Naturally people react like they're getting powerful shocks to the groin.

The trolley bus is objectively the finest form of bus before it Pokémon evolves into a kind of train. Battery busses are for cowards put some lines down.

if you think about it oedipus was the first guy to really comprehensively lose the game we now call fuck marry kill

@whipkclark.bsky.social booooooo this sucks

catholic convert STUNS know nothing rioters by speaking in perfect nativism

at some point this mutated from "funny post" to "personal motto"

Menoeceus after the Bacchae fucked up his dad:

[Hercule Poirot voice] ah most unuuuusual case, fiendishly clevér... My pénis 'as been caught in a, 'ow you zay, mouse trap

This is exactly how it feels to visit the arboretum just after peak rhododendron blooms. There's still kalmia, of course, but with the rains this weekend... "it's all diminishing"

As a child I always dreamed of running a failing import-export business

Every lawyer who voluntarily dismissed cases knowing it'd immediately lead to arrest to circumvent due process should be disbarred. I said what I said.

Fenway Park you are on my enemies list now. Fenway Park let's meet outside by the citgo sign. Fenway Park you will pay for cancelling Shakira.

This is what you want out of Patti LuPone

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

I guess everything is very context dependent which is what I have learned by independently arriving at the conceit of Cyrano de Bergerac

You know who I can't stand is my enemies

I wrote a longish piece about the recent abundance discourse and the tendency to treat every issue like an excuse to relitigate the 2016 Democratic primary resnikoff.beehiiv.com/p/the-abunda...

The SNL anniversary is stressing me out at this point. Does it require civilian participation? Do I need to fill out a form? Why am I hearing about it so much

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.

excommunicate the vice president

everyone who shit their pants about the thought of trump standing trial or serving time, take note: THIS is what actual failing states look like. functional states punish crimes and coups, even when they’re done by elites. it’s sclerotic, broken states that allow them to return to power, unpunished

My mom and I made some mini cakes for my dad's birthday

Specifically, the problem is that young men are not listening to BBC Four's In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg at the gym.
