President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that the military and National Guard should use their deployments to U.S. cities as “training grounds.”

Cottage time, bitches! It's a rustic heap, but I love it.

Drones or a Pizza Pop at 100m? Wins all around. Percy Spencer would be so proud.

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Anyone I know going to the CWM conference this week in Ottawa?

Fifty years ago, on Sept. 26, 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show flopped at the U.S. box office — then became the longest-running theatrical release in history.

Go on and cross your arms in that B-boy stance When it comes to haute cuisine, there's one F-word, France Here's a nice amuse-bouche, take a poor abused youth Set a 30-year timer Voila! Huge douche! I laugh and create, you berate and destroy But fear, my dear boy, is less scrumptious than joy

I don't mind travelling for work, but I mind having to pay for it up front. I don't make that big a salary that these expenses won't sting. Oh how they'll sting.

The Muppet Show was the only show I *had* to watch when I was a kid. I would get squirrelly waiting for it to start. Kermit at the typewriter inspired my dream to write, tbh. And that's saying nothing about what I learned from Sesame Street.

So @jimmykimmel.com's first words back tonight--"As I was saying..."-- were an homage to Tonight Show host Jack Paar, who used those words when he returned after walking out on his show in a censorship dispute with NBC. From 65 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhQ...

He says some serious stuff and goes harder than I expected (but not as hard as I hoped).

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

British history folks:

#sciArt !

Where are you going to put #KilroyWasHere this week? \\// -(@ @)- --oOO-- (_)-- OOo-- Kilroy is the OG Antifa.

Okay but real talk- Asking any animation industry people, how is Glitch able to properly fund these shows? Animation is expensive, and it seems like they have a solid model that no other indie company has been able to comfortably get a hold on?

Did I cancel Disney+? Yes. Do I feel bad about it? No. I will enjoy one less monthly fee.

Haircut time!

Harriet Tubman was born while John Adams was alive and died when Ronald Reagan was alive. Adams: 1735-1826 Tubman: 1822-1913 Reagan: 1911-2004 When Adams was born, Hydrogen had yet to be identified. When Ronald died, he could’ve been listening to Hoobastank.

I just finished writing up the minutes for a meeting we had 7 months ago. Why so long? Well, for one, I hate writing minutes, but mostly because the whole directorship has restructured, and I have no idea to whom they should be sent. But anyway, I finally did them, and I deserve praise.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

On Dec 11, 1941, the United States officially entered the war in Europe to fight against fascism. They were anti-fascists. ~250k American soldiers laid down their lives to stop the fascists who were slaughtering innocent civilians by air & in camps. Antifa is the American way. Liberty depends on it.

During the European campaign of WW2, American troops would leave this character to let the NAZIs know that they were everywhere. Kilroy is beginning to pop up in public spaces. He is the call for & promise of liberation. He is hope. He is everywhere. Kilroy was here.

Timeline cleanse, Muppet style. youtu.be/O-kDtgtF9qU?...

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension looks like a step along the path to American autocracy. Pulling Kimmel’s show is the latest in a series moves that add up to a suppression of full-throated debate in America. #Analysis

The other curator called it Communist Bloc House Grey chic, so I am now referring to my office and associated storage area as East Berlin. Hers is a nicer office and storage space, so it is West Berlin. We're just here leaning into the Cold War.

That's what I'm doing wrong. Gotta go get some vermouth.

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

Okay, my new office is painted a gross mushroomy stone white and it's depressing and dingey. I'm going to paint an accent wall so what goes with the colour of bleached govt office sadness?

We're struggling to do anything but watch this video of the newly discovered bumpy snailfish today.

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

A little bit cheeky & a little bit risque at times, ZE Frank has been delivering natural history & science for many years. This is a fantastic recent compilation of bat science. Some really good stuff in this one! 🦇

I voted for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and man, what a wasted vote. He's about as usefull as a padded toilet cover seat cover.

I need a vacation. Wow, I'm tired.

If you live in Ohio (or close by), go have a good time doing this!

Prepping a lecture on the difference between looting and archeology and have just made this cursed image

Sometimes I think I'm Frog, but other times I am obviously Toad. 🙄

Sitting in a talk by the exceptional Ken Steacy and he told everyone they need to find @katebeaton.bsky.social's "Hark a Vagrant!" because it's an absolutely wonderful "skewed" look at history. Couldn't agree more.

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Charlie Kirk sucked. .... Well, he did. His kids are gonna go through it for the rest of their lives, though, and no child deserves that burden.

They have extended me through to March 31 and I am CHUFFED. Gonna have to carve out an office from this mess, but I like a challenge.

I hate this time of the month. That is, end-of-month accounting.

Finished the chapter and submitted it around 3am. Then slept like garbage for the rest of the night so I've probably had all of 3 hours. Awesome.

“Ok, so I can’t make jewelry, but I’m great at disarming an alarm system and smashing glass cases”

Finishing this chapter like the classy-ass babe I am.
