I have no idea what's going on with Mitch McConnell, but the phrase "rigor tortoise" just popped into my brain and I had to get it out. Thank you for your patience and my sincere apologies.

Ha ha ha ha NO.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Please watch out for your puppy's feet during the heatwave, friends. The ground becomes a burning hot cookie sheet.

What happened to Scott Wiener at yesterday's trans rights rally in San Francisco was disgusting, appalling, and unacceptable. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Wiener for supporting trans equality, and it is insane to me that anyone would harass him in that setting. 1/2

Happy 100th to this mothertrucking icon.

This is Holly. Every day for the past 5 years, she picks out a stick and brings it to her favorite spot for “zen time.” While her stick may change, her routine never does. 13/10 (IG: hollythebluestaffy)

Dustin Nolan, Emmy winning anchor at KWQC TV6 in the Quad Cities, quit live on air Friday. "We have to be more than sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable. The facts matter." He did not name his reasons. He did not have to.

No one panic, but I have just been informed that there are people in Texas who DUNK their bagels. 😳 Please respect my need for privacy as I process this turn of events.

I may need a surgeon for this.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

OK, I’ll say it. I love the new portrait of the Obamas The artist, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, is immensely gifted. And maybe this is just the way I see things, but I truly wish she had placed the tree a few inches over so that I’m not focused on what looks like antlers on the president’s head.

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

The misogynistic smearing of a former First Lady at a White House event sanctioned by a President … is a stain that will not be removable

If landlords can refuse to allow certain breeds of dogs because they’re “dangerous” we should be able to disallow cybertrucks. They’re far more dangerous than any dog breed with actual statistics to back it up.

🧵 My mom, in her twice weekly phone call from the independent living facility: So you’ll never guess what. I’m eating vegetarian now. Me: That’s fantastic, Mom. What are you having for dinner? Mom: Pork. Me: {Long pause, because this could be a trap} That’s … not vegetarian, Mom. Pork is meat.

Just arrived in Crete. We are the only people staying at this hotel and it is run by a man and a woman who appears to be his mother. This is not giving Bates Motel at all. IMPORTANT UPDATE: There is also a grandmother.

Scott Pelley was ousted from CBS News in the exact manner Bari Weiss *thinks* she was ousted from NYT

Manny Nosowsky was a generational crossword talent and really encouraging to me (and other new constructors) in the '00s. Sorry to hear of his passing. This obit from @debamlen.bsky.social really clearly shows why he was such a great clue-writer. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/u...

My final, final byline for The Times: an affectionate send off for Manny Nosowsky, one of the greatest constructors of them all. Thanks for your kindness, Manny, and sincere condolences, Debby and family. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/u...

If I see someone expressing enthusiasm for some music on here & I dislike that music I tend not to assume that person is looking for me to tell them what I think nor that they are interested in hearing about it.
