thrilled to have my flash story “Aboard Empire Cruise Lines” appearing in this new anthology from Hollowpoint Press! www.hollowpointpress.ca

Instead of a boring tape review Coach's Challenges should allow the coach to complete a physical, well, challenge. If he completes it, the call is overturned. Like some Ninja Warrior type thing. Then people would look forward to them

In referring to the great SeGA shooter, Dewey of course means Mega Man

Like if you’re planning to build a bunker just build a bunker

oh my god AOC-Kristolism is real

Well it is your only man eh @pault00.bsky.social

It’s all very The Pick Up Artists - at best

subtle.

All kidding aside, I bet in Toy Story 5 Woody is forced to kill a child.

these guys have GOTTA log off man

Does Steph Castle know that he can hide behind a king

I disagree, Stephen A. deserves what he gets

wild as HELL

Back to my old tricks

What really gets me these days is how much I want our own reps to be similarly unapologetic. I know they have to build up to that, get people used to it, I know they probably had to do it the way they did it in Virginia. But you have to understand - whether Virginia's map is fair or not

You underestimate my power

It’s the last Pasts Imperfect before a break! ☀️ The amazing @taramulder.bsky.social discusses her new book on Roman childbirth. Then, Qin era beer, ancient infants wrapped in Tyrian purple; attacks on faculty free speech; new ancient world journals from @yaleclassicslib.bsky.social; & much more.

Is Miles Austin obscure enough? Patrick Crayton? Sam Hurd?

I will say the GOP media establishment apparently going all in on "Talarico is gay" as apparently the main line of attack still feels unusually explicit even for the Trump years

This is why I've created a grocery store with moving shelves that make you really sea sick

It's obvious to most of us (I am agreeing with all the people below, I know that doesn't always come across on Bluesky) that all that is happened is that universities now teach other classes in ADDITION to western civ, some authors of color, and women, in ADDITION to Shakespeare but

So you admit he has a pleasing disguise

Bag work is important but you don’t want to neglect yard work

It's sort of funny how even two years ago it took people with certain expertise to point out the ways that so much of this was about gender and now ever GOP ad is like THIS IS ABOUT GENDER

Just one more point about this, it is still hard for me to accept that this is how adults talk, but it is how republicans talk and anyone who knows how it makes them sound is being chased out of the party

Hey

“I have personally lifted the robes of the Lord our God, I can tell you he’s packin’ a real hog” is a weird campaign message

*Me and my peasant bros assembling a fleet and outfitting ourselves with armor and weapons*

I said he needs to get into ms paint

It is important to my way of life that god eats beef

Dems salivating at the prospect of winning a senate seat in Texas is fine but I wish I felt like there was more going on at the top of the party where grappling with the fact that the GOP is not a party but an international crime ring is concerned

Why would brisket be in parallel with open borders

In which I show off my vertical leap

I keep thinking one of the skeleton keys to this era is when both Musk and Zuckerberg pledged their fealty to Trump after the assassination attempt, and both said it was "epic" - so much of this is just dudes wanting to return to a period when they didn't have to care about anything

Natalie and I went to grad school together, once, long ago, in a distant land, and I look forward to reading her fiction debut

The problem with even talking about Ilan Wurman is that it is very hard for people to realize that debate bro culture is inherently insincere. The whole point is that you can make any argument sound plausible and these people have very high opinions of themselves. They never have to drop the grift.

James Harden is the textbook example of the I became important at work meme

Anyone awake who wants to weigh in on a matter of biblical hebrew historical linguistics for me

Moses after the incident with the spies

More like associate dean Wade

I'm an unusual NBA bubble where I don't think tanking is that big of a problem BUT stylistically I don't like it when teams focusing on rebuilding through the draft as the main strategy so I am for the 3-2-1 changes for more virtuous reasons than other (worse) people

When you’re playing Dire Straits but it’s dinner time

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

I don't mind the 3-2-1 but if the NBA has a unique problem it is absolutely complicating things beyond what the average fan can understand, like the second apron and so on. Lawyers and consultants are in charge and it's much harder to make sense of. It's like the Dem party -

see? is that so hard? is that such a difficult argument to make? this is what I want to see out of Democrats Tom Steyer, you have my vote

Kids hate it when you say their oatmeal is actually stoatmeal, oatmeal for stoats

Sunday mornin

It’s a beautiful day, Bluesky is open, and people are having a wonderful time.

My instinct is that Law, Business, and STEM programs will be "allowed" to do this in a way the humanities initially will not - they're serious, we're just lucky to be here. But I hope they do and I hope we do!
