I saw a dragonfly earlier that definitely would have inspired me to invent a plane if they didn’t already exist

just got off the phone with Mitch McConnell and he told me that he actually likes this meme and we should keep doing it

We show love to the old school (of trains/autisms)

I can’t be the first one to get hungry cause this looks like a Cheesecake Factory

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

People losing touch w themselves and their joy as they age is correlation not causation. Do something you loved to do as a teenager this weekend 🫶🏻

there’s no way this is the same brain i used to remember phone numbers with

Godzilla ruins a lot of people’s lives but I do think when he emerges out of the sea everyone has to be like yay it’s Godzilla

I think it’s an underrated or at least under-discussed problem that, like, everything gets counterfeited now. The economics and logistics of counterfeiting have improved so much in the last two decades such that it is now trivially easy to accidentally get a fake version of almost anything

One thing I don’t think men understand is that rape and assault are so ubiquitous—and so perpetually immune from consequence or recognition—that many women learn to talk about these incidents as of they’re mere inconveniences. We are not allowed to treat them with more gravity.

Maybe Mitch McConnell is just getting a lot of work done to be sexy as hell. You don’t deserve to know what’s happening that’s Hippo law

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

Brattleboro's new train station is the first in Vermont with a level platform, and is part of Amtrak’s nationwide program to make all of its stations ADA compliant. https://www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2026-06-24/brattleboro-accessible-train-station

I'd appreciate if you read the alt text on this. Thank you. www.tom-cox.com

Every day on my way to work, Adobe ask me if I want a generative AI summary or to create a podcast based on my train ticket. Its a little tiring.

What kind of sociopath has EVER looked at a PDF document and said to themselves, "This could be a podcast?"

Yooooo months ago I heard on some financial reporting that Adobe was doing well but not being sensational enough with A! so some leader was going to be replaced, and I told my partner I didn’t know why but it was enough to make me go joker, & wow I didn’t think I’d really have to go get clown makeup

i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

it never bode well that his apologies got worse over time, not to mention that he needed so many of them you can’t ask people, especially victims, to get over horrible stuff for a “greater good,” cause (1) how dare you, and (2) literally you can’t make goodness from no good

“If we throw out this whole terrible man we’ll have to throw out all these other whole terrible men” listen don’t threaten me with a good time

Listening to a HOTD podcast and they just asked, “How do you retain your decency when you are fighting an enemy that has none?” And while I can’t answer that satisfactory for the show, I gotta say we can retain ours IRL by not creating needless “lesser of 2 evils“ situations.

I'm just referring to Belgium as The Fightin' Poirots

maine's senator should be one of those weird-colored lobsters they throw back every year

if you have the capacity to be a ride-or-die fan of a politician in the year 2026, i don't think you should be allowed to drive a car

THREAD. Some excellent pigs I have met on walks in the British countryside. You will find the all-important caption to each photo in the alt text.

The billionaire co-founder of AirBnB wants you to blame the babies of undocumented immigrants for starter homes being unaffordable.

Honest mistake.

This is me re Tommy Suozzi every time I’m cursed to have to think of him

It’s like Jesus said in Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the humanities students for they shall inherit the Earth.” And 5:6 “Also, this AI stuff is really stupid y’all wtf are you doing”

This is literally the setup that allowed Jim Crow to be a decades long racist regime of apartheid while modern moderates lament the lost comity of the Senate. This is literally a politics of white reconciliation which we’ve already seen.

Getting back to this was always the goal of Republicans which is why they’ve been the traditional party touting a return to federalism. The Democratic Party turning to the same system in the hopes of “lowering the temperature” is literally the compact northern lawmakers made with southerners.

he really seems like he's on the team.

forgive me big G, but I would build a church around this seal

Damnit, I was too sleepy to realize I was on the Discover page

My favorite YouTube videos all have thumbnails that look like this

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

when I see a bee bumbling, I 100% say, “hi baby!” then I love the world, and thus my neighbors & myself too, a little more for that joy

Wow holy shit www.them.us/story/daught...

Couple bars in Bane voice would fix me

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

I think about this every couple a days.
