Here’s last night’s story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. It’s more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

celebrate womens day by accepting the sword being handed you by the pond

Bernie and Phyl's--Quality, comfort and price! (That's nice!)

Big news: tomorrow I am going to Open All The Windows!!!

Oh my god Lmao youraislopbores.me

who could possibly have seen this coming

Ok legit if they need volunteers for a clinical trial of this, sign me UP.

just heard a guy on youtube say "in the grand scream of things"

1. Merchant marine/preschool teacher/poet and 2. Defense contractor/engineer-turned-owner of a garden center

with respect, no. The US military murdered 175 schoolgirls because it chose to outsource decision-making to a robot.

Kinda fun way to see where the deer like to walk

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

Ok I know there is A Lot happening, but I just need to celebrate the fact that it is currently 33F, and that is the *coldest* temperature in the 10-day forecast. We are THAWING 🙌🏻

This has always gone so well for us everywhere we've tried it

I bet it's that shitty "we'll put a boot in yer ass" country song from 2001.

I've spent a lot of my career traveling to places where the existence of the US Embassy was a pretty important stopgap--even if sometimes just psychological--but the fact is that you actually *can* (or could 🫠) show up at the gates of an Embassy with a US passport and they would help you.

Wow, Smarch weather really living up to its reputation today.

I just realized that I don't think I have ever actually heard Melanie Trump speak, but in my head her voice is Arnold Schwarzenegger's

Sorry, I have a mixtape that is mostly just Celine Dion songs I taped off the radio that's gonna have to take priority

"resting bitch face"? you are gravely mistaken. my bitch face never rests. and it never relents

Just wrote "assmumption" instead of assumption and I can't stop laughing, alone at my desk. Assmumption.

Sitting in the waiting room at the orthodontist while Kid1 gets her braces OFF!

/deadpan ooh ooh I know this one

I realize it is simply screaming uselessly into the void at this moment, but: This is wrong. There is no legal basis for war. We should not have attacked Iran, and any ex post justification will simply be a lie.

Hey, Congress, u up?

Please, please end your partnership with OpenAI, @rweingarten.bsky.social @aft.org. In addition to everything else, given all that we know, it seems incredibly likely that that company is going to funnel student input straight into government surveillance files.

My worst quality is I'm absolutely convinced I would be Good At the Apocalypse

😬😬😬

This reminds me that there really is no way to explain Jordan's Furniture to people who have not experienced Jordan's Furniture. When I was in high school it was not uncommon to *go to a furniture store on a Friday night* to go one the "Motion Odyssey Movie Ride."

Wow, it's been a while since I have seen such a great example of "congrats on your all-male panel." (With acknowledgment to Sofia, the lone female-presenting name on this list)

*Dr. Evil voice* with my giant la-ser

Cue new smut in 3, 2...

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

This is *astonishing* - read the comments! www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/s...

🧵 In its Endangerment Finding rescission, US EPA chose to ignore the effects of the rule on public health and the environment by refusing to even quantify them or report them in the rule. So I dug into the docket to quantify those costs myself, using EPA's own models.

Instead of all of this, we watched Bring It On and now I'm gonna read a trashy novel and go to bed.

hey the NWS has a survey about what you experienced in the most recent blizzard: umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Ok I know we have 48558365 feet of snow on the ground but the sun is actually out today and I popped out to the car for a minute in a t-shirt and it was such a luxury.

Thank heaven for Guys With Snowblowers

Massholes, how're you guys doing? Everyone have power still?

I did a little shoveling

A. Awesome. B. What's Flavor Flav doing on the ides of March?

This is as it should be.

So the capuchin monks of Austria have a magazine and all I can say is that the cover is a real vibe. 70s hitchhikers? alt-folk darlings? baader-meinhof splinter group? Carthusian Swingers? Who can say what the vibe is, but it is one.

This was a) incredibly cool, and b) the first time in a *while* my undergraduate degree came in marginally handy

Praying to Our Lady of Figurative Speech that since I have brought in 3 loads of firewood this storm will underperform and we won't lose power

I hate that the groundhog was right about the weather, fuckig rat wizard

Table talk cherry pies. Are they even food? I don't care.

My friend just accidentally mixed up Fatboy Slim and Right Said Fred and I can't stop laughing help

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...
