Dennis Hopper at a shoppers drug mart in Vancouver, 1980

Of course the NY Post features this take. Meanwhile the NY Times has a different view. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I swam there a couple of times as a kid. It was fun (the lifeguards patrolled in rowboats!), but the changing room was colder than Chicago in January 🥶 Fleishhacker Pool closed in 1971 and was demolished in 2000.

Good morning skeeters! Happy Caturday?

Pauli Murray imagined justice as expansive, not restrictive. As a Black, queer, gender-nonconforming legal scholar, poet, and priest, Murray’s legacy reminds us to keep widening the circle, especially for those most pushed to the margins. #PauliMurray #LGBTQHistory #BlackHistory #QueerHistory

Fun fact: at the height of "tulip mania" in the 1630s one Semper Augustus bulb was worth the same as a nice house in Amsterdam, or several acres of land. The striped tulips were diseased (the Dutch called them "broken," though they didn't understand the science yet).

Used in a sentence: “History will remember him not as a venerated leader, but as a doddering rampallion who mistook vice for virtue, cruelty for kindness, and his own pantaloons for a privy, leaving behind nothing more than a sebaceous smear and the stench of his inimicitious infamies.”

"Calm down, sweetie. You're two tents."

LOL at first I thought this was a weird take on the already-weird-enough Melania 🤣

This scholar of the Bible demolishes bad-faith Mike's mendacity. (Literally, Bad. Faith.)

Similar to "lardon" 😁👍

Calm down, Charles Schwab

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

This has been the go-to option for people who can't afford $10/quart juice. I hope my local mega-chain will still offer their house brand, though I'm not really optimistic. Always the poor who get screwed.

Something orange and 80 is being is being kicked to the curb. But, sadly, not the *worst* thing that is orange and 80.

When I was young (though not as long ago as 1887, haters!) I did see snow fall here in San Francisco—but it melted upon contact with the ground.

I taught a class on “hope” last year and the few theorists who’ve written on it all point out that hope is the harder choice - that despair is easy and too often fashionable

I have never, not once, intended to call someone via Instagram.

Seeing this photo just broke my heart again: the historic barn was burnt to the ground during the catastrophic Tubbs fire in 2017. It was a beloved local landmark with an important and surprising history.

At Davos - Steve Wiktoff & Mark Rutter from NATO convinced everyone they were about to strike peace with Putin. Kyiv has just been plunged into more bitter cold and missile attacks. That’s what you get when you pursue ‘peace’ with a war criminal. Shameless

“Hello, Darkness, My Old Friend.” —The Washington Post’s new slogan

"Republicans need to stop inventing bogeymen to scare voters (e.g., Your child’s gender will be changed! Trans people are lurking in bathrooms!) and stand up to the real monsters." Hear! Hear!

The crackpots are back.

When I was a kid my dad took me to see PT 109 (Kennedy was president at the time). We had a great time which I've never forgotten. We also bonded over HOGAN'S HEROES and WILD WILD WEST on TV.

😁👍

I don't know if this qualifies as a rant or not but it *is* an angry, clear-as-water assessment from a writer I admire.

I love "dazied." I love "besprinkled." Here is my dog Dottie, posing on a lush green lawn besprinkled with daisies. Or dazied, if you will. I hope Dr. Johnson would have approved, even though he was a cat person. 😁

A dog park acquaintance texted this to me and yes, I cackled.

Chucky's closeted cousin? Seems entirely possible.

This painting made me smile on what's been a grim day, and as always with Dr. Rubens the caption is pure gold!

Nobody is looking at what’s going on in America and is thinking “we want some of that!” www.politico.eu/article/port...

"This is reality TV with a hint of HBO’s long-defunct series Entourage, a strange combination of lifestyle porn and hagiography with the barest hints of public policy flitting around at the edges like fruit flies circling a moldy melon."

We finally know what Trump was saying...

The only constants in my quesadillas: tortilla and cheese. One of my favorite "alt" versions includes pastrami.

These two have achieved stardom from innumerable Christmas cards in recent years.

Republicans love adding seats to state Supreme Courts! They've done it three times in recent years. This latest court-packing plan will shift Utah's high court far to the right and possibly flip rulings on abortion and gerrymandering. Democrats should take note that Rs have deemed this acceptable!

There might be a college Republican group somewhere that isn't full-blown Nazi but at this point I'm starting to doubt it. Most of them appear to land somewhere between "what if a militia was a debate club" and "support group for aspiring serial killers."

"It's a non-fungible token, Jerry!" "Non-fungible? what does that mean?" "You know, it means you, uh, you can't funge it!" "No funging at all?" "NO FUNGE!"

Aliens (completely bewildered): so the groundhog Me: is clairvoyant, yes

...and the #earthquakes continue. Ugh.

One of my favorite Nell Gwyn stories (there are several great ones): when a menacing London mob surrounded her coach thinking she was another of Charles II's mistresses, the detested, French, Louise de Kérouaille, Nell leaned out the window and shouted, "Good people, I am the *Protestant* whore!"
