Having just finished it last night, I've got to say that THE CORRESPONDENT, by Virginia Evans, is one of the best debut novels I've ever read. An epistolary novel about family, grief, love, connections and aging, with a prickly, engaging lead character. Slow building but hugely satisfying.

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

#BREAKING: HISTORY IS MADE. Providence, Rhode Island is now at 32.8". This breaks the record of 28.6" set back in the Blizzard of 1978! 2/23/26

I still have no power but a friend who does just texted me this amazing flub by a local news anchor. The deep shaky sigh after she says it lmao.

This was a really depressing read and part of why I *never* watch or get much involved in discourse around these Tourette’s films/docs because it inevitably ends up here

Welp. Already lost power.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

Wieners. They were .50 each when I was young and the only thing you could find at 3 in the morning. No choice, no anything but mustard, onions and meat sauce lined up on dude who probably killed somebody’s sweaty arm as he was making 20 of them at once.

If Trump really is racist, then why is he having ICE imprison so many white European tourists?

91) Arcane: League of Legends Season 2 10/10 Look, i know it's illogical to be mad at this show for its own singularity, but if it is possible to make an animated show that looks like this and has such complex characters and storytelling, we should be making more. Stupid, capitalism.

Wonder Man is stupidly entertaining. The entire thing could be just Kingsley and Mateen riffing on life for multiple seasons and I’d be fine with that.

After scripting all 5 issues, I started art work on my B&W, hand-lettered independent comic. I always try to turn spite into fuel, and this is my book that will be 100% human-made, free from publisher BS, late/missing payments, nonsensical notes, & absent marketing efforts. I’m pumped.

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

Helps to be built like a panda, when frolicking in the snow! m.youtube.com/watch?v=wGpY...

When I tell you I was not prepared for literally the second post in this thread

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

This is seriously fucked up taskandpurpose.com/news/army-wa...

the video game industry is a mess

Ask and you shall receive — white dude gets knocked out. Wonder who he voted for…

He’s definitely going to do something completely insane over the next 24-48 hours.

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

"We Brooklyn Boys stick together," one CBP supervisor texted Epstein. "Atta boy", Epstein responded. In November 2016, Epstein texted the supervisor that another CBP officer had been “nasty”. “I will speak to him!” the supervisor responded. “I will handle it, formally.”

Golden afternoon. "That's what I'm f****** talking about!"

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

so genuinely: uh, what was Merrick Garland doing with the Epstein files, given uh, it's brought down a royal and multiple Euro politicians/

This is what happens when politics overrides medicine. People lose coverage. Hospitals close. Care gets delayed. The sick get sicker. Science is not an opinion. Health care is not a luxury. Lives are on the line. #SheShed #Voices4Victory

Since you guys seemed to appreciate this, here’s a video of the pups enjoying Nazgûl’s unscheduled participation in the cross country skiing event.

Olympic highlight in this house.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I was prepared for this Nick

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Your daily bananas Trump corruption story: It's about a bridge connecting Michigan to Canada that's due to open, until the billionaire owner of the existing clogged bridge called Trump and asked him to keep the new bridge closed. Nuclear grade corruption. All out in the open.

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Happy #AshWednesday

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸 www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

A Sailor fell OFF the ship and Kristi Noem ordered the captain to stop looking for the man that fell OFF THE SHIP!

Major media have decided that openly racist members of Congress are normal now, not worth writing about.
