It’s kakapo mating season! Follow along with my obsession over these strange ground parrots!

Before and after.

The Jason Mendoza Doctrine.

Captain America in an August 1990 in issue, after the last time the US violated international law to invade a Latin American nation and kidnap a head of state to stand trial on drug charges

I read the first two issues of @ericafails.bsky.social’s “Harley and Ivy: Life and Crimes”. There’s a lot to like, but a thing that struck me right off the bat is the use of the TAS character designs, and then Harley’s hair becoming visible as directly tied to her move away from Joker. Great stuff.

Hey, how do Cuomo's boots taste?

Scott Summers, who did NOT die!

How do those boots taste?

It also overstates how much we should cater to folks squatting on too much land and complaining that bike lanes and public transit funding makes it harder for them to drive in our cities. Don’t come here if you don’t like it.

My family’s long defunct Christmas Eve service tradition was waiting for this one guy who always sang In The Bleak Midwinter (a patently ridiculous song, it wasn’t winter and it was the desert) in the style of William Shatner. We would sit there in the pews vibrating with silent laughter. Hilarious.

But Doctor, I am Tiny Tim.

Oh, I see you're wearing boots. You know who else wore boots...

Be careful you don't accidentally get the Marinara That Sets Boundaries And Uses Therapy Speak As A Tool Of Manipulation But Dresses Itself Up As Sensitive.

This is the most coked up you can be without actually opening a restaurant during the presser

Sam is a real one, and while he'll be missed at Backbar, he leaves a legacy and a staff that is well equipped to carry it forward. Thank you for everything, Sam! www.bostonmagazine.com/restaurants/...

Because we are not people, we’re vectors of extraction.

I made a sardine lamp.

“I opened Claude and allowed my thought processes to be shoved onto a particular track by interests other than my own”

That dude is CONSTANTLY creeping on people and asking what their marital status is. What a weirdo.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Jesus fucking Christ.

The piece I think Democrats miss 100% of the time (they don't work for us, they exist to maintain the status quo which drives donations) is that, according to the GOP, someone with diabetes SHOULD die. It doesn't occur to Democrats to point this out. So they focus on the $700, not the eugenics.

“Several weeks” of “hardly sleeping” and it looks like THIS.

Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde

"This is not our sky. These are not our stars. But we will fight for them all the same. And for each other." Heck of a book, @denizcamp.bsky.social, @alexpaknadel.bsky.social, and all the artists who worked on this one.

As someone who has had shingles before I was old enough to get the vaccine: GET THE SHINGLES VACCINE. Even if all it did was prevent shingles that would be more than enough. This is just running up the score tbh.

"But the bartender was really nice to me and smiled when they set down my drink..."

If your time was considered valuable, they might have to admit that the source of value is labor. It is CRUCIALLY important that they obfuscate this, and insist that the source of value is, somehow, Capital (or "the market" or some shit).

Yes, because all those men who created "stay late" cultures at every corporate office I've ever worked in did it because they LOVED being home with their families and didn't hate their wives and kids at all.

LOVE TOO see Cloudflare do its best impression of the economy this morning 📉

A good check is if the entire internet is resting on one of those two pillars. If so, prolly that one.

It’s alright, I’m sure nothing major relies on CloudFlare.

@saltzman.bsky.social did I see you barely-not-cut from an episode of Nobody Wants This??

Prison abolition except for people who listen to their phone speakers out loud on public transit

Did that Alan Dershowitz thing happen yet? I don't want to miss it.

Congratulations, New York!!!

Good luck today, New York.

This one has been a real winner in our house. I make it with shells most of the time, but whatever small pasta you have will do fine. For a little more oomph, cook some ground chorizo in the pot after the onions are translucent. Prep to plated in half an hour. www.budgetbytes.com/chipotle-pum...

I'm 4 generations removed from chattel slavery. After two generations of sharecropping, my grandparents insisted that their children go to college and get jobs in education, healthcare, or finance. Or join the military. And the next generation was taught the same.

In a country where we throw away, in the garbage, 40% of the food we produce. Always remember that, under capitalism, food is not produced to feed people, it’s produced to exploit our need to eat in order to extract a profit.
