Cat Follows Man Through Apartment Like Racist Walgreens Employee — theonion.com/cat-follows-...

The only response to this non-sense is posting cat photos.

“No one will be mocking the CDs I’m still holding onto when the internet goes dark forever and the only way to listen to music is through boom boxes we trade canned goods for."

I’m sure it’s fine that we’re all trapped in one old guy’s dying mind

I made these cinnamon rolls from scratch this morning and they were very pleasing and delicious on a Sunday morning.

One of the cool things I found out after researching our 1925 house is that it was built from a Sears Honor-Built Home Kit: “The Wayne.” The description reads: "One looking at the exterior of this house is impressed with its stability.” Ha! I guess that’s like me. Predictable and stable.

I’m posting some things that I’ve bought lately from small companies in the US that I’ve loved. Starting with the Less Litter Box, which is a massive stainless steel round litter box. If you have multiple cats or a big honker of a cat, this is worth the money if you have space. lesslitterbox.com

It really is very stressful to be living through an era of escalating mass deceit and mass delusion.

I started watching this show about a mother/daughter team who are building the last house plan design by Frank Lloyd Wright. Can’t wait to see the remaining episodes www.jsonline.com/story/entert...

ok sure fuck it why not

One of my favorite cat rescues Brooklyn Animal Action has had to pause intake because they’re low on funds. They do such selfless work and rescued my Logan from a parking lot in Kensington. brooklynanimalaction.org/donate/?mc_c...

Yesterday, we released a new report showing just how pervasive online scams have become. Almost 3/4 of adults say the've experienced at least one kind of scam and 79% say it's a major problem!

These are my favorite images from the week.

Ari Aster on the last 5 years in the US: “We're living in a world now where everybody is living in a different reality. Nobody can agree on what is happening. I think people have lost the dimensions of the bigger world outside of themselves.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I cancelled my Paramount+ subscription and have used the funds to increase my PBS monthly donation: www.njpbs.org/support/cont...

Completely relaxed in the most awkward position. #cats

Study: Majority Of Billionaires Consider Selves  Middle Class

Uno says it’s Friday. I believe him.

just got a CEO email predicting a 20% decline in our Medicaid revenue to start

Fast moving storms over EWR. Sorry for the holiday delays.

From my rep @replamonica.bsky.social: the bill "is cutting $360 million from NJ’s state healthcare budget ALONE, leaving 360,000 eligible residents at risk of losing care. Again, that’s JUST New Jersey.” This going to be catastrophic to our healthcare system. It will affect everyone in the US.

I just finished reading I Cheerfully Refuse, and it was spectacular. An epic Lake Superior tale set in a near-future dystopian America that feels just around the corner www.leifenger.com/i-cheerfully...

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

NEW: NJ TRANSIT moves 720,000 people every weekday. We know it's important for the state — and now we've quantified its worth. RPA's latest report, The Value of NJ TRANSIT, looks at the real, measurable value of NJ TRANSIT for the state of NJ A 🧵⬇️ rpa.org/work/reports...

I'm increasingly worried that we're spiraling into an AI-fueled mental health crisis -- tons of evidence coming out that AI is picking up on signs of psychosis/delusion in users and ENCOURAGING it futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

If our attention stays trapped in 3–5 billionaire-run platforms, democracy suffers. Bluesky is built by all of us—for all of us. It won't happen overnight, but we're building a freer internet where you have a voice and get to choose your experience.

This is magnificent and sad and beautiful. It’s not newsy or a joke, it’s just one of the best things I’ve read in a while and I implore you to read it

“Capitalism has entered a radical and apocalyptic phase...There is no utopian vision in any of this. The people who are advancing this agenda are also building their luxury bunkers and their spaceships to Mars.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Jaw dropping. United Airlines Cancels Newark Flights After FAA Staff Walks Out

Great interview with Adam Scott in @pitchfork.com on the "Music That Made Him" but I didn't see a playlist so I put one together. Pick your flavor. Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/6jE... Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/playlist/... pitchfork.com/features/5-1...

Gotta say, Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly is killing it out there—clear, resolute, well informed, not giving an inch. Politicians who wanna look like actual tough guys and not insecure macho tantrum babies could take a few notes youtu.be/z3rIlAITjXk?...

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

The result? A fragmented public consciousness where competing realities coexist, each self-reinforcing and resistant to correction. When truth is no longer a shared foundation, power shifts to those who control the most compelling narrative - no matter how detached from reality it is.

I'm very excited for my print to arrive. And the digital files will be put to good use. Long live print!

Between the FAA/Verizon/Starlink contract news and today's NOAA and NWS firings, remember: the privatization is the point (or one of the main ones). This is about enriching the few, not creating efficiency for the many.

Birthday weekend with @jasonrikerphoto.com taking pictures, driving, and eating pizza. We went to Dia Beacon to see Steve McQueen's light and bass installation.

After a horrendous week, we got to laugh together watching the brilliant, weird, and hilarious Betty Gilpin in "Oh, Mary!" A generous friend passed along some tickets at the last minute, and we braved Times Square on a cold February night to see one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

"It’s also notoriously difficult to profit off of raising and caring for children: Childcare is a form of labor provided either for free by mothers, their families, or their friends or for poverty-level wages by a workforce over 90% female by businesses operating on razor-thin margins."

I've been rewatching the new Severance episodes, and I have to say the look on Mark's face when Milchick talks about his pain was heartbreaking. Adam Scott deserves an Emmy for that episode alone. Also the diner scene with Devon. 💔

I so loved watching #Severance S2 E1, but I'll tell you what I think about it in 24-48 hours when my subconscious finishes unpacking it. This was a hard week with David Lynch passing. The Twin Peaks soundtrack was the first CD I ever bought, in a longbox, in a music store in Virginia, MN.

“Perfectionists are people who consistently notice the difference between an ideal and a reality…This results in the perfectionist experiencing, more often than not, a compulsion to bridge the gulf between reality and an ideal themselves.” books.apple.com/us/book/the-...

I opened up a book I bought in 2007 and this fell out. A @prairielights.com bookmark from when I was in grad school at Iowa in 2000. I love finding things in old books. I started The Lay of the Land and never finished it. Started it again and it's so much more interesting now that we live in Jersey.

If you need a break from terrible and stressful news, give a listen to @benstiller.redhour.com and Adam Scott's Severance podcast. It's fascinating to hear how a bunch of functional creative people work together to make something excellent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The internet is now five websites owned by three people and all of them are awful

It's been a shitty week. It's windy, extremely cold. Here's my cat who is also a weighted blanket influencer.
