This new flock leak is honestly terrifying in what it opens up

Image test. Images do not seem to be working using LibreWolf and I'm peeved.

This is great data visualization. #datavisualization #stats

I told my son that the Atlantic reported that the “six seven” phenomenon was over and my kid rolled his eyes and said, “respectfully, no kid is reading that magazine.”

To be fair, he said he only wants to make a movie about Calvin pissing on a Ford logo. Not the other stuff.

Team-building exercises are just trauma bonding.

If I've learned anything from LOVE ACTUALLY its that playing the drums for ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS looks really boring.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

As an idealistic teen trying out ideologies I saw MANUFACTURING CONSENT and was blown away when Chomsky talking about media manipulation and told his audience they shouldn't trust him. Yes, I thought. Truth. I am not surprised at all he has a lot to say to Bannon.

I was thinking that finding a love requires discovery and luck. And then I went further and it is about just being open to new things and experience. I am, of course, talking about stumbling upon the THE EXPANSE novels at a thrift store.

what do you mean you hate black licorice? do you also hate picking at that itchy little bit of skin around your fingernail? do you also hate walking in the rain when a cold breeze cuts through you? do you also hate the feeling of knowing you've let down a loved one?

Why does this video not have even a million views? That's what's wrong with society these days youtu.be/VGhcSupkNs8?...

I can't be the only one who read this headline and pictured Doctor Who being jailed for selling drugs. My Doctor is Tom Baker, but for this Matt Smith came to mind first.

Me: (Popeye voice) I yam what I yam! Gen Z Children: (no idea of Popeye is) Wife: That reminds me, you need to schedule your colon screening.

Your daily fortune: If your life feels like a bad novel, rewrite the next chapter. Change the genre. Add a boat chase and some sexy ghosts.

Winter tires: NAILED IT! Got them on for all three family vehicles and the NEXT DAY needed them. First time I wasn't a month early or a month late sync with the weather. Gonna be a wild winter.

Universal or Single Payer Health Care. We should campaign on it and beat that drum until we have it just like the right beat the broken government drum until now. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. We were close. Now's the time.

KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is amazing, as was the original reboot trilogy. Which reminds me, why do we whine about Bond and Marvel but continue to go while these films exist but are off everyone's radar?

I'd like a twist where it turns out Carl is actually a pretty good broker, just a bit overbearing but on part with Schwab in terms of return on investment.

Hate: Rudolph (the song) Give Props to: Burl Ives version of the song, especially if you listen to it in a car driving in the dark on a cold snowing evening.

I was kind of over Pierce Brosnon being James Bond by the time he actually became Bond (it was a long drama to get here). But the early scene here where the bullets take out the post and he casually nods his head to the side instantly sold me. That and the mad woman with the machine gun.

Dude, read the room. Yuck. "Johnson, 53, put his hand on Grijalva’s shoulder and deflected, saying, “Look, I really like this lady. She’s gonna be an excellent member of Congress. She’s a great person.”"

I think, like "Let's Go Brandon" this is the nickname that would a) stick and b) do the most damage. He'd hate it.

When is the YA market going to have more zombies? THE (ZOMBIE) OUTSIDERS: "Ponyboy, I'd rather be the walking dead than be a Soc!" ARE YOU THERE GOD, IT'S ME, ZOMBIES: "We must! We must! We must make zombies go bust!" HARRIET THE ZOMBIE: "You noted my brain isn't worth eating, Harriet!"

My saucepan holds 11 eggs when I boil them and I'm left with a single, unboiled egg that I then need to remember for days is not one of the boiled ones. This is a more esoteric version of the 10 hot dogs, 8 buns predicament.

My old person habit of two spaces after a period is in a constant battle with social media's word limit and my need to offer one last quip.

This makes me wonder if George Will is at heart an X person or true BlueSky person. Like, his need for mainstream attention vs. his turn against the current GOP and love of baseball.... Not wonder enough to look it up, but wonder. He's awful.

When I was in college I bought the Fischer Price video camera, which recorded on cassette tapes. I wanted to be a filmmaker at a time where even VHS recorders were expensive. This quality reminds me of that. I miss bad tech.

And this without the Dems having a plan beyond pretending it's 2023.

ROY BATTY: …I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments... they'll be gone. CHATGPT: That’s a powerful story 🎯 Thank you for sharing with me! It really spoke to your passion for space! 🚀

"TCS’s... It is based in part on the epistemology of Karl Popper, arguing that a child should acquire knowledge only through self-motivated hypothesis testing..." "self-motivated hypothesis testing" is my new favorite ed buzz word. ..." — in other words, they should learn by trial and error."

“I think the older view, our parents’ generation, was you did one thing your whole life. Now, you’re on your own, surfing. The old strategy would drown in the new world.” My Silent Generation parents were quick to note "No one has your back" after living the Great Depression.

THIS WEEK should have brought out "surprise guest" Adelita Grijalva with a Bible and said "Why not now?" #gotchajournalism

This just reminds me I need to make more lentils and that I need to find a good lentil recipe beyond "make lentils".

Brilliant.

Fuck this guy

If you've ever picked up a volume of this anthology this @defector.com piece is perfect. Nick Strum should do a follow up piece on Adrien Rich's edition which broke every norm Lehman tired to create. Good Riddance To ‘The Best American Poetry’ - defector.com/good-riddanc...

Forgotten how good Crocodile Magritte is. "That's not a pipe. This is a pipe”

"Imagine having two kids a couple of years apart...." Someone should make a movie about that. Like, you could name it after nucleobases of DNA... G-A-T-T-A-C ???

I disagree. But no one yet has the talent or guts to do it. For example, Bernie. Try and talk about his socialist leanings and he waves it away as a distraction. "What? You're against health care??? Here are some facts...." Which makes the GOP defend letting people die. We need more of that.

There is a YouTube clip for any situation. By far the best sitcom to watch if you ARE a teacher.
