Watch out for Ea Nasir this Halloween!

For a century, the tiny Coolidge Auditorium, at the Library of Congress, has been a wellspring of cultural integrity, innovative music and American ingenuity. (And free concerts.)

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

CAT ADVISORY: Today is the first day of Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Ensure your human servants procure extra snacks to see you through until the Spring, then eat them all this weekend.

One of the kids in my daughter's class got suspended for a day for cracking two kids in the head with his Percy Jackson book after he was being teased and made fun of by other students for reading. The teacher did the worthless "please stop" like 10 times and never sent the bullies to the office

Brazil bluesky today:

Generative AI makes me so tired. Apparently this was a photo that popped up for a colleague when she was looking for pictures of fleas.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

This came to me in a vision

Really missing when the internet was fun and not a nightmare. I know most people have seen these GI Joe PSA redubs but I'm gonna post a few of my favorites for the 6 people who haven't seen them yet.

Today, a painting and a poster of the crowds of the cat revolution. The working cats are on the march! If you like my artwork please follow here or on other socials. These and other artworks can be found on my Etsy at nathannunart.etsy.com (or drop me a line). Thank You!

I think that a beautiful 113-year-old recording might lift your spirits, if for any reason your spirits need lifting.

Today is Juneteenth. Instead of erasing the history of this country, we choose to learn, share, and grow. Here's the history of Juneteenth, and why it matters today:

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats: 1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

my 14yo made a power point of what she wants her future to look like and this is my favorite slide

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base! and they want to do it ... ... in *a few months* I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ... ... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here 1/9

hard but fair

just lol at people ready to accept defeat at the hands of the biggest losers in history and give up. have some self-respect. sandal would never. nothing's over yet. nothing is decided. get the hell up.

Ssssso not that I’m bitter or anything but that reminds me that there was once a domestic cat constellation called Felis but it was eliminated by the International Astronomical Union in 1930. ☹️ www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...

Spending time online can leave you with a warped view of the world and that's a shame. Good people have always outnumbered bad people and things generally get better. Hold onto that x

@clanceyl.bsky.social Sir! You can best appreciate this.

for my next newsletter and episode i bought the bestselling laptop on Amazon to try and explain how shitty most people's exposure to tech is. Currently at 30 minutes of menus and updates. I have agreed to three privacy policies and created two new accounts. We live in hell

“If somebody doesn't help me, I'm going to die.” "Somebody said to me, 'I don't know what you expect me to do, You're a healthy 21-year-old young female.'" Some of the most dangerous words in medicine are: “You test results are normal” “You’re young and healthy” “What do you want me to do?” 🧵

Friends, put your feet up, pour yourself a drink and relax with this short video of a cat in a kayak.

Sometimes you just need a Potato to feel better.

I want to talk a bit about how historians go about understanding historical cultures and worldviews. History, after all, is more than just dates and names, more than who did what to who when. A good historian can, to a degree, inhabit the worldview of their subjects. But how? 1/

I PAID FOR MY SOCIAL SECURITY Congress Members enjoy premium federal healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, 3 weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days... THAT'S 'welfare'. Yet, The GOP has the nerve to call my S.S. retirement an entitlement. SHAMEFUL!

I have decided to become an NPC. If anyone needs me, I'll be standing around downtown selling the same 10 potions and occasionally glitching onto the roof of a nearby building.

Daily bunny no.2480 will not go to space today

I dropped an entire surprise novella this week at @reactorsff.bsky.social. It's the work of years of planning, recipe-testing, storybuilding, & artistic collaboration. I wrote it from home, I wrote it during a blackout, I wrote it from the back of an RV going 85mph through a sea of wild sunflowers.

[tenting my fingers while pacing around the stage during a writing seminar, 5 seconds before falling off the side and tearing multiple ligaments] cornholio, in fact, is among the most elegantly-written characters in all of fiction. one whose motive, whose reason for being, is immediately understood
