I think I’m a bit late to this news, but maybe it will make you smile like it did me. Toronto hired two border collies (Sally & Ben) to keep geese off the World Cup practice pitch. #uglydogs

“We all fuck down here”

If you use AI for anything on purpose, you should consider having sex with a chainsaw

The thing that sucks about going to a show when yer “old” isn’t that you can’t stay up late—I still can! But rather, you just don’t know the openers and standing for 2.5 hours brings acutely to mind just how poorly you chose the pair of shoes that you bought.

Kind of incredible how many people have built lucrative careers for the past three decades on insisting against all evidence that this kind of guy is what voters want.

"He won big, though!" Yeah you can absolutely win an election with a guy like this, once every decade-plus when voters are so sick of the right running the country into the ground that they'll take a bland cipher with no beliefs instead. Then he's in office a month and polling at 30%.

"vote blue no matter who" is unfortunately completely irreconcilable with "we need to burn out corruption root and stem." sad to say making this omelet is going to take longer than we had hoped

Make a band out of two others? Strawberry Switchblade Symphony

So Ant cafe is in Bangkok, here is a video with subtitles about it. Hope you are ready for some beautiful, incredibly contained ant footage

Love that Europe and Asia are spellbound by our junk food in an age when I am trying to cut every penny that I spend on chain food.

Three people saying the exact same word, each using one of Japan's three writing systems. Each expressing a different nuance. The kind of thing that makes a translator run in fear...

The “more indie bangers” argument for universal health care. I could go on for days here.

Boy Harsher just signed to a major label. Good for them, the old Doug Martsch “we’re doin ok, thanks, but that group health plan looks nice” plan.

It’s finally official: The next book in the Let’s Make series will be Let’s Bake Cookies, by the fabulous Kim-Joy and yours truly!

Tracy Morgan: "New York City that's where King King died... and we told Godzilla you next motherf*cker. You, the three headed monster, the flying turtle, all y'all can all get it."

Invite me to your group chat. I’ll bring cheese.

12yr old is going to france with her school in a couple of weeks and at the pre departure meeting tonight they told us we can’t give them money to bring us back booze/cigarettes. you can’t even get your kid to buy you booze anymore because of woke

From Reddit:

Do not understand the point of the Ocarina of Time remake.

It’s my birthday and the gf is out of town so it’s time to watch one of the greatest, most chaotic and most damaged electronic performances of all time. Again.

Like I say, it's always instructive when MCU lifers see the original Marvel pages and recoil like Dracula from garlic.

I love that Reddit isn’t always great about drawing lines between posts it shows me.

Current status: suddenly permanently unable to not think about this

Sometimes I remember that I have a friend who listens, by choice, to The Pixies’ 21st century catalog as though it is a normal way to spend your time on earth. It always takes me out of whatever I’m doing.

Similarly, Kat was a good candidate and I probably would have voted for her most of the time, but it was Heater’s presence that got me to donate. I’m sure it probably “worked” on some other people too.

Rainbow capitalism actually is a good thing but it's as a warning light, not as actual social progress; when the rainbow capitalism stops, it's a sign that capital doesn't feel that paying lip service to queers' humanity is currently advantageous

I think Mindy Segal is a fucking idiot with no moral compass.

There have been a lot of iterations of Princess Toadstool/Peach over the years. Yet this is the only one that leaves me stunned

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

I love that Reddit isn’t always great about drawing lines between posts it shows me.

This is the peak of guy culture. Not my favorite albums, but as good as we got. No I will not elaborate.

Found in a sidewalk giveaway pile, an incredible case of staple multi-generational Dudes Rock cassettes; a musical taste profile of a certain type of 1990s white guy frozen in time

Oh shit! It be getting real in the death rock dive tonight! music.apple.com/us/album/sna...

Saw many red-winged blackbirds on today's walk (1 of 3), Columbia, MD #birds

“We live in a foul and gaudy age”—how I characterized my fear of influencer trash taking over humble bars that I enjoy on Reddit earlier tonight.

Gonna write an article just called “CTA is doin’ the best they can here”

Goth night or unofficial Boards of a Canada release event? Woe is he who must make these decisions.

I am not on threads, but my sister sent me this and I wholeheartedly agree. ^_^

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

Lake water

that's just how it is on this bitch of an earth

Can someone tell me who Yelled At Bluesky Today Please? I have a bowl of popcorn that needs eating.

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.
