I think I need someone on Etsy to start making these immediately.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

From the bottom of my heart, as someone who worked on the Ocean Observatories Initiative, dismantling this is a terrible idea. I'm furious. oceanobservatories.org/2026/06/trum...

I'm sorry WHAT aliens.gov

President Kamacho wouldn't even have done this.

www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u... He cannot go to hell quickly enough.

You know there are two things that are gonna happen when it happens. Unless it's a very, very obvious or on-camera moment - His followers will have a new Elvis that "isn't really dead" OR His followers will use his death to solidify that some kind of leftist conspiracy killed him.

Wait, is the reason that everything you buy at the grocery store now has "added protein!" because we couldn't sell any of our soybeans so it all got sold into protein powder food derivatives?

I'm beginning to adopt a protocol with toys that is channeling @altonbrown.bsky.social's hatred for "unitaskers" - if it only does one specific thing, I don't want it.

I want to believe this, but what part of this is the AI-summary cannibalization that's affecting ALL websites?

I know Utah has its share of issues but my goodness the land is gorgeous.

If it were written today, We didn't Start the Fire would definitely include Trouble in the Hormuz.

Remember pop up videos? Maybe we can overlay actual facts on top of whenever Trump speaks? With that same noise?

There's a hidden illiteracy problem in the United States. And it isn't just kids without access to education, it's the greater adult population. People guess at what things say instead of actually reading. It's terrifying.

I'll never get over the fact that this administration appointed the least qualified people imaginable and no one could stop them.

::clears throat:: If your assessment of Maine's political landscape is "well, they voted for LePage, so..." Go look up what % of Maine voted for him. I'll wait. Or, better yet ... Accept that it's all more complex than can fit in a tweet

Thanks dementia Don.

Today while I was in the bathroom, my daughter was playing with my husband, then pushes open the door to get to me. Hubs says, "let's come out, mama needs some privacy" and she stops, looks at me with big concern and says, "mama you need privacy?" 🥹

I need to make a yard flag that starts with "In this house we believe..." And then just says Susan Collins Sucks

Would society really be fucked if we had a 4 day workweek? I feel like we should be able to do this without anything falling apart

YES, THIS.

IMHO all Maine democrats need to do is align their messaging on Platner as the following: Collins - elite, out of touch, ineffective, old Platner - working dude, mainer, real, new "like you" You don't even have to do issues or swing a big blue flag, I promise.

Ok who wants to fund a journalism site called "The Follow Up" where a bunch of reporters just call after stupid stories break and get the actual story by actually asking questions?

Ok, so, this is how cynical I've become. I just read a news story based on a tweet: thehill.com/blogs/in-the... in which no one, NO one, talked to anyone at the Hilton to confirm the story re: "freeze-drying" lobster and giving it to a local shelter.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

The fact that we haven't universally been calling him "Fucker" Carlson disappoints me.

Oh, in addition to all the WWII Nazi stuff, we're going full WWI also. #1918flu

Do you ever wonder what the total volume or average number of emails and text sent per day just for 2-factor authentication is? It must be staggering.

If anyone's confused about what's going on in the strait of Hormuz, I highly recommend a YouTuber that has the channel name. "What's going on with shipping?" The man is a treasure and it puts things into context. Source: YouTube share.google/2KQjC9bqJOVF...

Don't let Canva and AI design calendars, y'all. It is really bad at conveying info in a way humans need to see it.

Removed the brewery name here, but this has to be one of the worst ways to display information on a calendar I've seen... they have multiple locations but let's see what's going on each day... Not location???

Ok here's your primer on ME-2: Jared Golden announced in 2025 that he's not seeing re-election. The Democratic primary is June 9, and then the general election is November 3rd. BOTH of these elections will use ranked-choice voting, FYI.

Hahahaaa just realized Mamdani is gonna be sending a tax bill to Trump because he doesn't live there, he lives in Mar-A-Lago / the white house hahahaha

Anyone freaking out about new taxes for the rich needs to look up how much we USED to tax the rich. We didn't make this up, folks, they just weaseled their way out of it over the last 20-30 years.

Toddler T-shirts shouldn't cost $25.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Everyone can chill with the calls for Mainers to "do something" about Golden. He's not seeking reelection.

There's a group of people that I just seriously don't understand and can't empathize with: those who are never curious about anything. How can you not be curious about life? What's around you? History? Nature? Culture? What a sad life to never want to know anything.

LL Bean reversed course on the Forest Service.

The note on the bottom of this chart is delightful but I'm still mad that people haven't gotten the Brontosaurus memo.

I know there are people abroad saying, "IDK why Americans can't overthrow their government when the citizens have that many guns" but let's talk about that for a sec. Putting aside the fact that the gun-nuts are usually MAGA.... How do you expect this to play out?

Asking this for real: Why do trucks at construction sites literally back up all the time? Completely understand the need for a warning noise. Compeltely perplexed as to why we seem to go backwards more than forwards.

Heard any of the "youthes" say "six-seven" lately? No? See? Language memes are things that happen and come and go. It's OK.

The glut of fake and AI-generated science and nature photos I keep seeing is depressing. There's so much ACTUAL awesome science and nature photography out there we don't need to fake it! Follow museums and nature centers and research institutions and they will show you some REAL rad shit!!

But we are the ones with paid actors 🙄

"It’s not the rate of price change that’s bothering people. It’s the level. When you fill the grocery cart…you’re paying today’s sticker—not today’s sticker minus last year’s.…people don’t forget the original price shock just because the rate of change stopped rising."

I've reached the point in my life where I get pains in my joints when the weather changes. I am 43. This seems unfair.

Does Microsoft Teams have this many glitches because we're all hostage to it and no amount of enshittification can make us leave it because we are required to use it for work, or what?

Guarantee you there was a briefing document that said "3-4 ships"...
