Can't wait to see what I do this week to upset and/or piss people off at school. 🫠

I love Charles Portis and the sentence "The plainness makes you not expect the madness." in this article is a chef's kiss of an overview of all his work.

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

BREAKING: Democrat Xp Lee wins the Minnesota House special election to fill the seat of Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated in June.

For those of us who aren't terminally online white men this is a great thread explanation.

"For a long time, many skeptics believed it never even happened and claimed that it was a hoax on a vast scale. Now, almost everyone agrees that the B-Thing took place, but opinion is split on what it means." — @kylemacneill.bsky.social for @rollingstone.com

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

Yes!!

Absolutely batshit.

The cashier at Five Below just told me I look like Barbie and it took all my willpower not to climb over the counter and kiss her.

The fact that a child has to endure this is a moral failure of our entire country.

Here’s the statement from the full City Council.

Anytime I go to an estate sale or a flea market or a garage sale and the person in charge says" oh that is really old' or my other personal favorite " they don't make those anymore!" It is like nails down the chalkboard of my spine.

I haven't even gone to bed yet and I already don't want to get up in the morning.

This is bananas.

My child took her first drum lesson today and it is so strange to watch someone you love so much do something for the first time, having zero experience and total nervous energy. She was visibly uncomfortable, but the way she pushed through and kept trying was honestly inspiring.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.

PLEASE SHARE: Missing Child - Victoria Alexandria Jackson. The Minneapolis Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating Victoria Alexandria Jackson , a missing 12-year-old girl. VICTORIA was last seen walking from Minnehaha Falls on August 2nd around 8:00 p.m.

Very glad my Senators voted for this resolution. I will be calling them tomorrow to let them know I approve.

I have watched this too many times in a row.

"What perfect albums came out when you were 16?" 1990:

What no one warns you about when you get your first job serving at a restaurant, is that you will have serving nightmares for life. Just woke up from the worst I have ever had, my tables were 2 blocks away from the computer and bar. Nothing was where it should be. And of course my section was full.

“The typical female pet owner spends more time actively engaged with her pet than she spends in face-to-face contact with friends of her own species.” The pet lives in her house, DEREK. Do you think that female pet owner has to text her cat, who is in her house, 15 times to make plans, DEREK

I gotta say that running into kids from the elementary school where I work and seeing their eyes light up when they spot me, just delights the hell out of me.

this is the time for scifi fans to exercise the ultimate depth and breadth of their creativity make them shut down the hotline use all your best Borg jokes

Hell yes!!

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Good run Pacers! Not the outcome I was hoping for, but thank you for bringing out the Hoosier in me. 🏀

The best part of denying that we need to upgrade/change our power grid in the US and quit relying on outdated technology, is that on the hottest day with an "extreme heat warning" inevitably the power will go out.

As a result of today's decision, the Trevor Project board of directors is matching every dollar donated with $3 until June 22. So a $25 contribution becomes $100! GO DONATE. Help save the lives of trans kids. www.thetrevorproject.org

Ever since Tim McVeigh, US leaders have pretended all this right-wing domestic terrorism is made up of “lone wolves." They’re not. They’re foot soldiers. Violence like the Minnesota shooting is what Trump wants—he wants an opposition too scared to stop him. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-s-no...

Absolutely disgusting, but what else would you expect.

Law enforcement officers have apprehended Vance Boelter, who is accused of murdering DFL House leader Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Gov. Tim Walz and law enforcement leaders are expected to speak shortly. minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/15/v...

"However, to our knowledge, no one has been arrested – just questioned."

Proud of Minnesotans

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Holy shit.

We've just updated the @wired.com guide to protecting your privacy while attending protests with the latest best practices. @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Hi, pardon me, hello: mass protest in the face of fascism is a great idea and in fact the only thing that works to actually combat it. anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. sorry, i cannot anymore with this shit. do the fucking reading!

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

Harris could be President right now and we could be talking about how Tyrese Halliburton has hit a lifetime worth of game winners in one playoffs. Alas.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
