I like a good old telephone nook. If I'm ever at somebody's house and it was built mid-20th century and it has one I'll say that's a good old telephone nook.

Explaining 90s music to somebody that didn't live it is explaining our brief sojourn into swing music then a sidestep to gregorian chants, Garrh Brooks, the beginning of the Latin invasion, the dominance of r & b girl groups, the Lilith Fair scene, Loreena McKennitt. Oh yeah and some grunge.

Cape Verde v Argentina is going to be remembered longer than whoever plays the final game of this world cup.

"but they didn't do anything to me." could never be me. we're in this hating game together.

NEW—'On Courage' is a new book out tomorrow by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist @juliaangwin.com and Harvard Kennedy School senior fellow @fieldsmeyer.com about the many ways regular people have dissented against autocracy. Read this EXCLUSIVE excerpt about a former HUD lawyer challenging Trump:

Well gosh.

One of the fun things about @thebugle.bsky.social Top Stories sub-show is clips from nearly 20 years ago where John and Andy are calling out what a bullshit crime family FIFA is. I know most other countries see it happening on the regular but we Americans only get a proper sniff every four years.

Ok I don't know who else frequents the Has IT Happened Yet website but theeeeeey are not pulling any punches at this point. The language used to be at least kinda vague in places but newp no more of that plausible deniablity.

If this random story that sparked from Mamdami's pool jump is the first thing I get published, I will thank him publicly. tbf he and all will be confused how I got from pool jumping to...that. Shoutout to @kikivalken.bsky.social - best of chucklyfucky partners for helping with the sparks.

Had hibachi shrimp for dinner tonight. Not sure what all the shrimp-posting is about but didn’t want to be left out.

This is Vinnie. He just got a new splish splash pad and literally can't contain his excitement. Thinks this is going to be the best summer ever. 13/10 (FB: Claudia Carr)

When these data centers become debt traps in a few years at most, the next Dem president should offer to wipe out those debts if they're sold for a dollar back to cities for community centers, mutual aid hubs, YMCA-style temporary housing services. Try to salvage anything out of this mess.

I've said it before but the rise in adult ADHD diagnoses is just because it stopped being socially acceptable to unknowingly self-medicate with cigarettes as a cheap stimulant and fidget toy.

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Aren't foxgloves brilliant?

A 6pm show in an air-conditioned room... this is the best thing to do in London tomorrow...

So apparently the Wikipedia app keeps a record of what you looked at and I’m a massive page hopper and long story short it was hundreds of pages and clearing that was a not-small chunk of storage.

American cities will place a big painted line, a low median, or a row of plastic bollards, and call it a protected bikepath, but what I want is such separate infrastructure that people can make mistakes without dying or killing anyone on the bike path.

the best reason to be a strong woman is that then other women will ask you to lift things so you go wheeeeee i love lifting things and they go omg thanks for lifting that and you go wheeeeeee i love women. it goes exactly like that every time. highly recommended.

I saw a picture of a bear and made a funny voice for him and now I'm like 4,000 words in on this fantasty story and shocker I can only write characters with assorments of neuro'tisms.

our flight angels team has helped over a hundred folks get home from ICE detention since january, as well as flying people to safety, whatever that means to them. they are in need of some new volunteers. particularly ones who have experience in squarespace or google sheets. interested? dm me.

Hawkeye, when he was given hope.

There is a thrill in this. There guys are PUSHING SO HARD. They’re relentlessly doing interviews, writing articles and pushing propaganda. They’re used to everyone buying their bullshit!! But this time everyone’s like “nah”. It must feel inexplicable for them and that is so satisfying.

You see someone stealing food, no you fucking didn’t. You see someone stealing diapers, no you fucking didn’t. It’s not that hard.

An LLM generated email tells me that you’re the kind of person who’d get their secretary to buy a present for their wedding anniversary.

Due to conversational flows it’s rare I get to tell people how the Donner Party shot at natives trying to bring them food and word got passed along to give them a wide berth but when I do boy howdy.

This is the kind of chuckle-fucky skeets that'll lose me the left.
