Oh, I just saw the helmet pass-off on IG. Monty made me cry. 🥹💙

🎶Sleeping Matilda, Sleeping Matilda!🎶

Enjoy this photo of my sister & my cousin looking like they were just told they couldn't have dessert because they didn't eat their vegetables. Circa 1973. Came up in my FB memories & it always cracks me up.

Little Cat better be First Star tonight.

LITTLE CAT!!!!!!🐈

MANNER!!!!!!!!!

LITTLE CAT!!!!!!!

CANNER!!!!!

This is such a weird thing to spam people with, isn’t it? I suppose maybe they’re hoping you assume it’s a wrong number or something and respond?

Something about sudden downpours brings out the 6 year old in me. Still simultaneously enthralled yet slightly fearful.

One of these dogs is not like the others...

Wondering if this will be the year that @thetattooedprof.bsky.social and @effinbirds.com finally meet up for a MiLB game somewhere.

Any excuse.... youtu.be/FODvjYoVEi8?...

Apparently the ballpark where the Iowa Cubs play is called Principal Park. I'm guessing that it has been for quite a while and it just somehow escaped my notice. It will always be Sec Taylor to me.

They're so damn cute. What's not to love?

The democratic party is willing to do ANYTHING to win the next election except listen to their voters desires or alter the strategies they've been sticking to for decades or accept younger more radical members or burn bridges with corporate donors or speak out about Israel's violent acts or oil co-

Time for a house porn mini-rant. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? Impractical as a hand rail and it doesn't even look good, so you can't use the excuse of putting aesthetics ahead of utility.

Day 19 of Bordeaux rugby trip. 125km NE to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault. Free aire in town square with great view. Another cracking find. Parts of old village date from 14th Century. Hot and sunny again at 27°C 😎🍷🚐 #vanlife #motorhomelife #leicestertigers #saintbenoitdusault

Not the best photo, but possibly a unique one showing a pair of ospreys mating as a pair of marsh harriers fly by at Campfield Marsh, Solway Coast @RSPBEngland

Apparently, it's been 12 years since I learned this little fact.

News used to be better.

TORRENT WIN!!!!!! 🌀

LFG, Torrent!!

Excellent and empoweringe educacioun will nevir be "efficient" yn the waye that a businesse doth stryve to be "efficient." It ys the heighte of knavery to use one standarde to measure everye human activitye. Businesses are ther to make profits. Educacioun ys ther to make the future.

Sing the song!

My desire to treat myself to some fast food for dinner tonight is at odds with my not wanting to leave the house and there's a tiny part of me that currently understands people who use Door Dash & Uber Eats.

TIL that Tom Skilling's middle name is Ethelbert.

Canada lynx kitten

Imagine leaving that for North Dakota...

Books! The little ones are about the small town that my great grandfather was from. His family emigrated in 1888, when he was 15. The Blizzard is about one that happened in 1891 and it’s odd to think that the man who wrote it may have known my great great grandparents.

Thatcher started burning in hell 13 years ago today. 🎉

How am I supposed to take this thing seriously

Did Yams forget where the hell he's from? How could he walk into a situation where he knows he's going to be photographed wearing that ugly thing?

SING THE SONG!!!!!

SCHWARTZY!!!!

So, so, soooo happy that Javi had a good night on the mound tonight.

Am I the only Kraken fan who sings Kaapo Kakko's name to the tune of that peanut butter and jelly song? 🎶Kaapo! Kaapo Kakko! (and Eeli) 🎶

I wonder what obscene amount of money folks are going to be wanting on e-bay for the Ron Santo bobble head that the Cubs are giving away in a couple of weeks.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Day 17 of Bordeaux rugby trip, and why wouldn’t I decide to stay put in glorious Aubterre-sur-Dronne for a rest day, making my way slowly towards the UK. Not quite as warm as yesterday, currently at 26°C, rising fast 😎🚐🍷 #Vanlife #motorhomelife #leicestertigers #Aubeterresurdronne

For some reason, this seems to be the ear worm of the day.

Weingarten has been wrong on every major issue facing educators: she embraced testing, charter schools, an abandonment covid protocols, now AI. Her mantra is always the same: we need to welcome the systemic changes imposed by neoliberal administration, so that they appear inevitable

"AMERICANS, DO SOMETHING!" HI... hi.... Your friendly, neighborhood PoliSci grad here! It's literally by design that it is difficult for us to do that. "ThE fRamErS" baked this into their plan. That's not even discussing how asinine it is for you to be asking civilians to martyr themselves. 🖕

I haven't bought soda since my son moved to CA (6 years ago now 😭) . There was a sale ad from my grocery store in my email and -- holy shit, soda's expensive these days.

Considering that there are now 857 schools in the Big Ten, is this surprising?

The line in the ad about the Mariners Kids Club about preparing them for a lifetime of Mariners baseball is bitterly hilarious, tbh. Pain, child. You will know pain. You will learn to live pain. You may even learn to love it.
