"Memory Training," a picture Jacob Lawrence painted in 1944 while serving as a war artist in the US Coast Guard. This black-and-white photo is the only image we have of the painting because it, along with others, was apparently lost sometime after WWII

It’s been raining a lot here in LA. I just wanted to remind people that LA has one of the highest hypothermia lethality rates in the USA because we have so much manufactured homelessness. It’s a policy choice. It’s something we can stop.

1) He’s not very good. 2) Everyone around him is worse.

Change one letter and ruin a candy Fit Kats

Panera is trying to resurrect Laverne’s favorite beverage - milk and Pepsi

Happy International Men's Day

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Hello I’m looking for impersonal intimacy please and thank you

I will say again that it has been just *beyond* hammered home for me that not only do we not live in a meritocracy, we live in an economic and sociopolitical order that actively rewards avarice, incompetence, unkindness, dishonesty. And tbh that makes me feel better about my lack of success.

Oh, word?

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

The most hilarious thing about the far right is how afraid they are of imaginary things. They're all "Grr I'm an alpha male but London is so scary tho" "1000 hobbits will descend on your village" Or some nonsense.

Spelling Bee is the Maureen Dowd of games, existing solely to infuriate those who play and depending on a user base of masochists.

Room for the Jewish Space Lasers lady but Chuck Schumer wouldn’t endorse Mamdani

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

It's so funny that people think Amsterdam was always a bike utopia.

We need to more cardigans in baseball.

6/🧵 Why does conventional wisdom miss this? We confuse electoral swings with attitude changes. Gen Z shifted 6 points toward Trump in 2024, suddenly pundits say they're "the most conservative generation in 50 years." Only 42% of Gen Z voted. We mistake turnout shifts for ideological transformation.

I turned 63 today. Fuck ya. It gets better all the time. Keep kicking at the darkness my friends. It is bleeding daylight.

Fuck that, I want a Sherman.

huh it seems like evidence of Link’s permanent ban being racial discrimination just keeps piling up

@mluther I’ve been doing a bit of research on my own and I think the church is getting some things wrong. long thread so buckle up. 1/95

If anything counts as a smoking gun, it’s this email. “i was pointing out that that alleged rape was reported to be at my house with Donald and I raping her”

when your example of 'barely legal' is just literally illegal

All the people in those emails want you to believe that transgender people are a threat to your children. I think we should prevent rich men from being allowed to go near schools, play sports, or use a public restroom.

the only good accent work on earth is old money transatlantic american to make fun of rich people accent

We want buying, not eyeing.

It is journalistic malpractice to be within a city block of Vance and not read him this tweet through a bullhorn

If there’s one thing I learned from reading @matt-levine.bsky.social ’s Money Stuff it’s not to write “DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT” in an email that also contains the alleged “insight.“

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Last offseason it was annoying that every article about the Guardians asked “When will they trade Steven Kwan?” But this year, every article will remind us that Ortiz and Clase sold their birthrights for a mess of pottage AND ask “When will they trade Steven Kwan?”

Huh … this worked.

Now do Cleveland.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

Evergreen

This, so much. Chuck and Co. think they can sacrifice voters in order to win voters. I … just don’t see how that’s a viable strategy, but what do I know?

Totally normal day where the Supreme Court is earning more respect than the Democrats. (In fairness, kinda hard to learn less respect than Feckless Chuck. But the Court usually manages it!)

Sorry, @mlb.com but there’s no way José’s silver slugger award is the top story today.
