It is still wild to me that Elon Musk never testified before Congress about his reckless USAID cuts. (You can probably guess which party we can blame for blocking the subpoena.)

Not exactly a novel observation, but one of Mamdani's skills that literally every incumbent can and should copy is "loudly and repeatedly state your policy wins"

Today I figured out how to create nested modifiers in Toast POS and I’m feeling like a hacker from ye olde 1990s!

Lady Madonna makes a lot more sense when you know it’s done with Elvis in mind.

Take a look at my book nook.

Because Judith and I are HUGE Blade Runner fans, our store carries multiple books directly related to the 2 feature films, plus more that you could say are adjacent (like books on Ron Cobb and Syd Mead). Here's a link to every book with "Blade Runner" in the summary. mzs.press/search?keywo...

One of these I helped put up!

Laurelhurst Airlifted One Mile from Seattle Children’s into Lake Washington: tinyurl.com/4vppn6rs

I'm Masuke, and I'm 17 years old. I went for a walk this morning, full of energy!

[early days of the pandemic] Hassett: “They’re spending more money on toilet paper and sex toys!”

My opinion about the laurelhurst Seattle children's stuff is that the kids should get to go loot anything they want from the rich people's houses

But my hot takes are the correct ones

I highly recommend this reading of The Right Stuff by Dennis Quaid. The superior Quaid!

Happy Star Wars day.

Why did Star Wars release episodes 3,4,6, and then 1,2,3? Because in charge of scheduling, Yoda was!

It took me a few weeks to realize my four-year-old wasn’t asking me ‘why’ questions because she wanted answers. She wanted to tell me jokes she wrote.

I’m very happy to report that I am fully in my “here’s my drawer of multiple lengths of wire” phase of adulthood.

A lifetime highlight for me is going to a Trek convention in Spokane in the ‘90s with my sisters and having a guy at a booth tell us about the bootleg videotape he was selling of this movie that included a scene (that we’d now call a ‘deleted scene’) and it blowing our goddamn minds

Fun Fact! The L. L. In L. L. Bean stands for Ladies Love

The only AI I’m interested in is AI Pacino.

I was reminded this morning of something IBM noted in 1978: "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision."

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

I can’t stress enough that deciding a law is “no longer needed” is so far outside the realm of what any court should be doing

In a world where sports betting is rampant, not being able to comprehend sports is my superpower.

At a Seattle Storm game and just noticed that when points are scored a loud ‘coin’ sound plays, like from Super Mario. I mentioned it to Ellery and she said “Someone’s just buying something.”

On this day in 1983, MGM released the #vampire #horror film "The Hunger" in the US, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon.

"If you can't be kind, be quiet."

The 1st time I visited L.A. I stayed in a tiny house on Fountain where none of the plumbing worked and I had to walk to Ralphs every morning with a quarter to use their bathroom. I vividly remember watching Studio 60 air a new episode that week and in a way, that's been my life ever since.

📌If only there'd been a ballroom ...

They’re charging James Comey for posting “8647” on his Instagram, saying it’s a threat. Do you know how stupid this is? I worked in food service. When we “86’d” someone, that meant “throw them out.” Not KILL the customer.

If Comey posted a photo that read “187 47” then MAYBE

The contemporary conversation around political violence and political speech should begin with what the mob and the president got away with on Jan 6

Ahhh… TUESDAY. Should be Wednesday, but whatever

Just got out of the emergency meeting of the Caramel Coalition regarding the accused correspondents dinner shooter. Haven't been this concerned for the community since Jussie Smollett days. And for this to happen the same week Michael comes out, our most short lived member (1987-1991)? Dangerous.

This painting, titled "She Did Not Turn" (1974) by British artist David Inshaw, exemplifies his pastoral style blending realistic landscapes with wonder and mystery. It depicts a woman walking down a track through vivid green and brown landscape under a dark sky with a rainbow and floating clouds.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

The brilliant thing about ‘six seven’ is that it is literally in the first ten numbers. You can’t make this stuff up!!!

Does he know that he TACOs on Tuesdays

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.
