this is a masterpiece

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

Wow!

It's a good day when I go searching for something new to read and discover one of my favorite authors just came out with a new book. I don't know how @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social churns them out at the pace he does, or how he keeps getting better, but I'm here for it.

Wrote for @liberalcurrents.com about the completely made-up idea of an insatiable American appetite for a right-wing alternative to mainstream culture. www.liberalcurrents.com/fakery-is-th...

You could have come to me as a boy and told me to do nothing for the rest of my life but make up headlines, and I wouldn't have come close to this.

This kid seems pretty damn great

i can’t stop laughing

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

"'If you stripped Elon Musk’s name off of these things and showed them to me, I would think that this was a white supremacist,' said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Extremism, who reviewed a selection of the posts." ... you could also think that WITH his name attached.

I feel bad for Aaron Rodgers* *is what I would say to signal to my family I have been kidnapped.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democratic politicians are unable to stop themselves from using curse words, I will have no choice but to hold my nose and vote for him for the fourth time in 2028.

My daughter: “Who’s your favorite player on the #Bears?” Me: “Historically? Walter Payton.” Her: “What about currently?” Me: “I don’t know, maybe Caleb Williams or Rome Odunze?” Her: “Rome Doomsday???” And now that’s his name.

This is an excellent breakdown from @asharangappa.bsky.social

Fuck, this is good.

Great read from @anildash.com

And one of his most profound artistic statements was when he performed the greatest Super Bowl halftime show of all time. Here's the surprising and multi-layered story behind that moment: www.anildash.com/2021/02/05/h...

Interesting (and, I think, correct) analogy. Plus: new vocabulary word, unlocked 🤣

Never even entertained the thought I might someday cease to be a Bears fan. A move to Indiana would do it.

Jack + Eminem >>> Kid Rock + Nuge

This is the way.

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

FFS

omg fuck yes

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

I hate both of these teams but I hate one of them just a little bit more. (Very unsettling to be rooting for the Cowboys)

Can’t wait to grab another three points

Math is so woke.

Okay, this one’s a little bit diffferent — a quick video from me, wondering if “Taylor’s Version” might give us a glimpse to a way forward in the war against AI robots scraping up all the content of the internet without consent or compensation. youtu.be/X7jbRY3MvpQ

Indeed. Go Browns (… except for that one guy)

yes! can’t even do that right

I gasped. These two are too beautiful. They should not be allowed to stand this close to each other.

We've always known he doesn't like to share.

Jesus loved them so much, almost to the point of protecting them.

.@minakimes.bsky.social Some awesome wordless books worth checking out: Welcome to Mamoko (by Aleksandra & Daniel Mizielińscy) and Journey (by Aaron Becker @storybreathing.bsky.social). My daughters spent hours on these, LOVED them. Mamoko's out of print, but you can still find it used fairly easily

That’s awesome. Reminds me of these guys, Pip (cat) and Frankie

Where's the Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown when you need one?

the undisputed champ

Wow. That was... stunning.

I love this

This was a great (if bittersweet) farewell column, @crampell.bsky.social. Looking forward to picking up wherever you land next.

As long as it's also mandated that they must live only off what they earn, I'm all for it. Seeing how people treat service workers is still the best litmus test for whether a person is decent or a chode. Maybe if some of them had to walk in those shoes they'd come out the other side better people.

Most likely from the aerosolized Rohypnol being pumped in through the train's ventilation system by The Rogues.

Get the mayor you want AND lose the asshole? Yes, please.

All of Democratic messaging could be improved if put in burger terms.

This is a thing of beauty

I’m not sure you could design a better day

Fucking monster.

Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

I gotta go with The Matrix here.
