A key consideration when traveling with me is that you have to be ok with being embarrassed in public

It’s officially vacation

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Now that they’re safe on the ground we.. ocean, I can make a joke OMG ARTEMIS IS IN TROUBLE WE’RE GETTING REPORTS OF A GIANT CAT BATTING THEM OUT OF THE SKY OH THE HUMANITY

Taxi from the airport had to dodge more than one car that came in from a side street without looking and he said to me its normal here, no need to worry. And I said oh these people can’t scare me I’ve driven in Naples*. And he was like oh wow ok yeah you’re fine lol *and Philly - it’s the same

We have all arrived at the airport and my aunt of the many phone calls, apparently thinking there is no food between her and Italy, has revealed that her carry on is mostly filled with Trader Joe’s snacks

My drum pad somehow turned on in my backpack ask me how I found out

In the gc my aunt has been trying to teach us Italian for big suitcase and little suitcase and the problem for her is that suitcase = valigia and we are being most unserious about it so it’s just a constant stream of Us: Vajuilia Her: valigia Us: Vajayjay Her: valigia Us: Veruca salt

She just walked over my entire body including my face to get up there

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

I never tire of pointing out that multiple shows did "Oh, my old friend is trans? That's interesting!" episodes in the '70s and '80s, and while none of these hold up by modern representation standards, they're all quite good and accepting in a way you might not expect.

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

M has been watching Memory of a Killer this week and normally mob shows bore and annoy me, but this is Camp and I love Camp

FINALLY PHILLY!!! omg I’m about to go feral 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I am entering Grumpy Middle Age™️ (I'm 47) however I *love* that there are endless world experts here in medicine, history, language, physics, paleontology+ I love that a lot of them/you have rich lives and are trans/furries/queer/ have cool user names... I legit am NOT grumpy about the cool here❤️

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

Your Teams notification can’t hurt me because I am officially logged off until 4/20 💃🙌

i can vote in america because decades ago civil rights activists said no more would we accept an america where black people were treated as second class. trans activists are in the great tradition of making america as great as it keeps saying it is, and anyone opposed to them is an enemy of freedom

I need a kitchen door sawed in half that I can lean out of and call to the townsfolk strolling by.

I haven’t followed the sixers in years and the only thing I know about them is that Embiid is a random collection of wonky body parts held together by aging, yellowed scotch tape

This is so damn cool. Baseball nerds: download this now

Thank you, past Whit, for the extremely detailed word doc from last year that needed only minor tweaks 🙌

This is me at work with the younger crowd and the 2008 financial crisis Sitting on my rocker telling them about the day my meetings were cancelled because everyone freaked out that the money market fund broke the buck

All right, fuck it. Let's celebrate this glorious Appomattox Day by telling the story of Pickett's Charge from the Union side. We will dispense with Lee's decision, Longstreet's sorrow, Pickett's tragic foolishness, etc. Let's start w/ a conversation between two Philly guys.

I gotta be real that this is probably for the best considering how often their toilet is not working

I really need to stop timing my girls trips around the time mid years are due at least until they let me submit ‘is a joy to work with, 10/10, no notes’

PHILLY CAT LOVERS ASSEMBLE:

Today’s FB memories has gifted me a photo of my aunt of the many phone calls in the wild during our 2019 UK trip I have forbidden her from taking that purse on any subsequent trips. I’m like you may as well just hand your wallet to a pickpocket

Someone in the year of our lord twenty twenty six took 16 hours to acknowledge a chat I sent and then responded with a ‘can you remind me 9am Friday’ like there aren’t eleventy million tools for you to do that yourself including just marking the chat unread until 9am Friday

One for the train nerds (🙋‍♀️)

Whole thread is great, shut up Pisa made me lol

happy The Confederacy Lost The Damn War Day to everyone who celebrates, and a hearty fuck you to everyone who doesn't celebrate

I know I'm far from the first to post this, but: man, the burning gall of paying one's taxes today, after being openly told exactly what kind of sicko genocidal schemes they will be used to fund. Really? You want me to tally up what I owe you right now?

The fact that someone with the power to do so threatened to bring down the Vatican and i am unhappy about this is just, one of the crazier things in recent history

dad: so whats the deal with the war me: *speaks for 5 min* dad: wow that is an impressive analysis me: thanks I took it from a person I follow online who is a subject matter expert dad: oh whats their name me: They are a cartoon dog wearing underwear as a face mask called Piss Prevail On Earth

This damn post has absolutely ruined my brain every time I hear someone mention "for the time being." Major kudos to the poster, if I ever meet you in person I will congratulate you and then punch you in the face.

This is exactly it

excommunicate jd vance. place washington dc under interdict. the whole diocese of arlington, too, for good measure - that’s where half the supreme court goes to mass.

I genuinely think all Americans should have the right to watch the Super Bowl, and their local sports teams' games, for free. If that sounds radical, that has always been the case in my life. Until very recently.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

I was today years old when it occurred to me to check if different countries have different gauge sizes for pierced ears and maybe that’s why some of these gorgeous earrings I’ve been gifted don’t seem to fit me and the answer is yes

They did the tweet!

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

In a country that took the humanities seriously, way more of the medievalists you’re seeking out to explain Avignon would have actual academic jobs.

Update:

Make them walk home

On today’s call with my aunt she has informed me that I am a total disgrace and that she’ll not be speaking to me while we’re in Rome because she texted my cousin and his wife to ask what they’d like her to bring back from Rome and he replied, “oh I think just a cannonball would be fine”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Rise is doing a takeover of the Artemis socials today
