Not doing so well on this goal, but there's still 25% of the year left, so here's hoping.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

I need to get back to Portland and to that food truck that has the gluten freeCardamom & Chai chicken. Definitely in the Top 5 things I've ever eaten.

"Comedians shouldn't perform in Saudi Arabia, they should perform in a country that's free, like.... ummm... uhhh...."

Somewhat hilariously, any decrease in crime that Trump's raids cause is just proof that the cops don't actually do their jobs.

Sending in the military to a bunch of farmers markets and book stores.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

President Orders Hit On Random Hippies

Lol I just feel asleep in the middle of listening to the Animorphs audiobook with the kids and Eliza just... Kept listening for nearly 2 hours on her own? Oops.

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

We are deeply upset with Cascade PBS execs' decision to eliminate the news operation and lay everyone off. It's been wonderful to see the outpouring of support and anger folks have shown this week. If you want to share that anger with the bosses, we'd appreciate it. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

SIR MIX-O-LOTL

There's more proof that all billionaires are pedophiles than that Tylenol causes autism

It's a musical buffet, there's maybe 1 person per day I'd go see.

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

If what Comey did is a crime, I've got some great news about our Supreme Court problem!

Animorphs audiobook has been interesting enough for the kids to almost want to go to sleep. And it's the first time in years that I've been good enough to replace mommy at bedtime

These guys are going “What else.. what else” with the most horrific shit throughout American history

On this rewatch of HIMYM, I'm starting to think Ted's not nearly as much of a bastard as the previous ones. Not that he's not a real goddamn weirdo, but that he's 16% less of a complete d-bag then I previously did.

Accidentally taught Sandy to sit while we take her outside to use the bathroom? But she plants her butt down at one of the doors and waits for the leash.

Oh hey it's national comic book day. Read my free webcomic, it's awesome if you like old video games

Our entire military in one place, their location probably texted to random people. Cool stuff..

UPDATE:

"I'll just read Animorphs with the kids, that'll distract me from all the nonsense" People with brain worms start taking over the government. "Well.... fuck."

i feel we dramatically overestimate the intelligence of the American electorate

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie."

"Which is why I'll use my podcast to chat up the bigots who want this!"

The answer to why people think sex scenes in pop culture are unnecessary is that we as a society scorn people who practice the craft of making them good, and also scorn the very concept that it is a craft to begin with. It is, very frankly, a skill issue.

Superman Legacy is kind of odd. Casting wise and tonally is dead on but there's just so much of the plot that doesn't really make sense or come together at all. It's a fun ride but it can't be thought about too much or it crumbles

Making Superman's parent all rapey and weird is still a real, real bad choice.

I wonder if there's some dog whistle inside Supermans whistle in the beginning of the movie because of boy did it get Sandy's attention

listen I may get blocked for this but: you don't actually get to hate kids and be an okay person. you can not like being around them. you can avoid interaction. you can feel uncomfortable. but if you HATE kids: sorry dude you fucking suck as a person

Only 1 hour and 12 minutes into forgetting about Dynamite. Why can I never remember it's Wednesday on a Wednesday?

Oh wow, Lin Manual is in the final season of HIMYM, which has to be because of In the Heights.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Uh-oh. Might be time to break out the Leto Joker picture again

The spelling on those last 2 is atrocious, goddamn PJ, learn to proofread

I think neurodivergence is a terrible name that still makes us sound fucked up. Our brains are just as normal as there's are, were just a different flavor.

Well, time to go give my dog autism so she can be as cool as the rest of the family

I recently ended up on a call list for a mortgage and received 200+ calls in less than a month.

While we cruise into fall and spooky season, gonna do a little #kidlit self-plug for "Lucy and the Ghost Take the Stage!" - some ghostly fun that's not spooky for the little ones and a love letter to the performing arts. With adorable illustrations by Karen Crysttina. bookshop.org/p/books/lucy...

This is pretty cool www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

A few painting tips I’ve learned along the way

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

I despise this new style of entertainment writing where they avoid using a single noun until the 6th paragraph.

Since they're trying to blame Mom's for autism, I'd just like to say it's definitely my fault that my kids are autistic, not Caitlin's.

it’s really wild. there’s a whole ecosystem of the bad accounts at the top that you can be entirely unaware of even if you use this app all the time.
