The adoption paperwork says this baby girl turned 5 on May 1! Happy birthday Cricket!

People are figuring out that amazon and Barnes and Noble are absolute shit companies. Independent bookstores have been literally dying trying to tell you this for years. It's time to shift and support the Indies. Good work if you already do.

Not defending the old tweets, but the ADL digs up these old tweets to use against her, but they can't even recognize a Nazi salute when they see one? Musk's salute should still be getting press. I'll never forget it, and the ADL should have called it out.

CONGRATULATIONS on the impending purchase! How did this get approved so quickly? @netflix.com #netflix @warnerbrospictures.bsky.social #fifa #madeupawards #trump #fakeaward #boycottFIFA #definitelyfake #satire #howisthatfifapeaceprizenotsatire #strokingegosgetsresultsfromnarcissists

Translation: "Netflix hasn't sent me a big enough bribe yet, but when there's a sudden donation to my ballroom and I approve the purchase immediately, that will still not be enough for my MAGA cult to acknowlege my corruption."

Boycott the world cup and its sponsors. I will not watch a second of the world cup for the first time I can remember. #boycottfifa

"Yet once you've come to be part of this particular patch, you'll never love another. Like loving a woman with a broken nose, you may well find lovelier lovelies. But never a lovely so real." Nelson Algren, Chicago: City on the Make #chicago #literature #chicagowriters #brokennosebooks

I know it's probably just spam and data collection, but how utterly tone deaf can you get? "We want to reward small businesses with this purchase from the giant corporation trying to kill them off." #fuckamazon #piranhaco

Cooked lunch! Delicious! Sautéed paneer with broccoli and cauliflower, Greek yogurt, and microgreens.

A massive loss to Chicago. Truly a one-of-a-kind artist. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/11/t...

Mohamed Abozekry room the Beverly Arts Center on the #SouthSide of #Chicago. A fantastic fusion of #jazz and #middleeastern #music. #oud and #saxophone. Check him out if you've never heard of him.

A free concert of middle eastern music in my neighborhood. #Chicago #beverlyartscenter #worldmusicfestival #dcase

"South Koreans Swept Up in Immigration Raid at Hyundai E.V. Plant in Georgia" And this will make South Korea want to continue manufacturing in the U.S. how? And this will make South Korea want to invest in the U.S. how? This administration never sees the big picture. They never make predictions.

NY Times Pips today E: 23 seconds M: 55 seconds H: 2:48 Definitely a record for me so far.

Best thinking puzzle games i play daily: 1. Honeycomb Hotel by Everett Kaser Games. I've been playing this for literal decades. Logic. 2. Sootly: Probably the most challenging word game ive played (shy of cryptic crosswords). Wordle on steroids. 3. Pips, the new ny times puzzle. Three levels daily

Ipswich town and a sweet kitty. A nice way to start a saturday.

Baguette. Croissant. #catpics

AP Language teachers, a great example of a post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy. Just because Sydney Sweeney's niche film floppe after the american eagle ad controversy doesn't mean it was the cause, as this headline from huffpost seems to imply. I didn't read the article because I don't care.

"Yes. It was me. I pooped on the rug. I'm a bad lap doggie."

I still miss Paul Sherwen as Phil Liggett’s partner. The way he talked about the scenery, sights, sites, monuments, architecture, and history along the Tour de France routes was one of the reasons I watched it every year. Bob still does it a bit, but it’s not the same. #tdf #tourdefrance

Wise words from @sadiehartmann.bsky.social

Trump vs. Musk makes Edward vs. Jacob suddenly seem like something of grave importance.

How did Wallace Shawn not win an Emmy for his role on Young Sheldon?

JD Vance is like Catholicism rejecting a transplanted organ.

A rose breasted grosbeak!

I saw this movie. It’s called A Bug’s Life. The character on the left is Hopper. He makes the hardworking ants pay him in hamberders. #tyrant #fascist #wannabemobboss

So Tesla is starting to lose money. Isn’t the next step to start supporting its competitors in the electric car market by buying their products and stocks?

@therookieabc.bsky.social F^#% your Amazon prime product placement. I guess you didn’t notice that they’re ruining the country, as is Bezos. Stop supporting billionaires and monopolies.

It’s the small businesses that will suffer.

How is this not the most unsanitary way to wash your hands? This is a sink faucet with the hand dryer integrated right in the sink. You wash bacterial off of your hands only to have it blown back into your face along with everyone else’s? Am I missing something?

MAGA men are Alfalfa Males.

If I go out to breakfast can I bring my own eggs and then the restaurant can charge me a crackage fee? #eggs #arewegreatyet #economy

While so many are focused on the economy he’s crashing, please don’t forget the racist shit he’s been allowed to get away with since taking office. It’s all a shit show, and he needs to be stopped. They need to be stopped.

There needs to be a White House Critics dinner on the same night. I know an available comedian. I also know which broadcast I’d be watching. Maybe John Oliver can make it happen. Seems like the kind of thing he’d be into. Is he on bluesky?

“What a creep. What a jerk,” says Lone Skum as the Fox News caption says, “Minnesota Governor takes aim at Tesla Stock Price” and not “Shithead billionaire takes aim at Tim Walz.”
