four years back:

I have consistently enjoyed Sarah Spain as a public figure. looks like this is not changing in the near term sports.yahoo.com/articles/esp...

I may just share this on a weekly to monthly basis, for a good stretch (some years? the rest of my days?). This has been shared a great deal. but not enough so, here's some more www.goodreads.com/quotes/10119...

Our neighborhood mechanic shop now has a big goat (among other animals) wandering the grounds of the junkyard, and I'm told it looks a good bit like Eggers' Black Phillip. so... yet another reason to get regular oil changes at M&M nice

For us, this means the southern sweep of trail which is to connect our nearby portions with the east side will likely be complete at the same time as previously expected. atlanta.urbanize.city/post/beltlin...

Look who's at least pretending to care about officer misconduct ?!? encouraging ? I won't jump to conclusions. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The readily-available evidence in the Marimar Martinez case (check it, yourself!) demonstrates the corrupt, unlawful nature of operations of the nation's immigration agents, and how they've been greatly encouraged by "leaders" in the executive branch.

There doesn't seem to be a need for "what happened" this woman seems like she was always a piece of shit www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

yeah the testimony what an embarrassment but here's the thing When you're profoundly shameless, particularly with regard to distinguishing between truth and falsity, these things simply don't matter to you.

much as expected oh, America so moronic benefiting craven, already-rich nihilists www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

This has been shared a great deal. but not enough so, here's some more www.goodreads.com/quotes/10119...

I wonder about the next market upset, and how soon it'll be here. and the one after that... and the one after that... ... ... ... gizmodo.com/anthropic-la...

oh, no We've lost Microwave Dave. I had the privilege of spending time with Dave Gallaher many times, over years. We were fairly often the only two people at the station, in the late and wee-small hours, during my time at WLRH. This resulted in conversations that were real ramblers, in a good way.

little more than a couple weeks into year two of this shit, this time around Amerikkka "The past is never dead. It's not even past."

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Whether you most greatly fear Jason or Lark Voorhees, or perhaps Jason's mom, do take note. Next week, we'll have Friday the 13th.

got three vaccination jabs, in about one hour had to go to a second location for the last of them overdue, but got 'em yay, science

some other good news, today youtu.be/et8yvu8Q-rQ?...

another adorable kiddo now lives among us, within our tremendous, enduring friend group - born of Mallet wonderful

from our neighborhood group NICELY DONE with this bit of Stringer Bell hilarity

Baby girl seeks to affect snowfall by sheer will. fingers crossed, little one

America: empowering the most brazen, corrupt opponents of scientific understanding, as the world burns but hey So many people do enjoy the mainstreaming of their racism. "Give the people what they want?" There is that, I suppose. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

strangely amusing to me, to a degree This old guy of the senate, seemingly plenty happy to support so much awful shit for so long, is now turning to fantasy-villain references for some of these horrid people empowered by his party. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Robin Leach in the news, now a real "blast from the past," and quite the unpleasant one lifestyles of the rich and famous, indeed ugh

hell yeah GO NERDS news.mit.edu/2026/osmoses...

NFL (and Bears) legend Charles "Peanut" Tillman Perhaps you've heard of the "Peanut Punch?" admirable fellow www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

oh condolences, now? What happened to the "domestic terrorist" messaging? I suppose a few too many test balloons failed too spectacularly with that brazen, evil bullshit. I have to wonder if they even consider credibility. Maybe that's not part of their Roy-Cohn training.

This seems a testament to the present state of things. NFL conference title games were played in the NFL, yesterday. I knew the AFC result before I went to bed. Today, I was unaware of even the W-L for the NFC until I actively sought the result, more than nine hours after waking. highly unusual

I'm no fan of ol' Sepp. still notable www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Microwave Dave a good man telling us important things

In this country, when it's time to choose, you so often effectively choose whether or not to throw in with the klan. I do not. I will not. and it's become increasingly clear this isn't true of many people I used to love and trust

Think about how they might seek to label you a "domestic terrorist." We've certainly been seeing some pretty audacious examples from this administration. When crafting such messaging, it clearly helps to be utterly shameless.

"There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes." a bit of Hemingway, that what a realization for so many, all over this great nation

alright, ethicists have at it www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

well observed

DHL guy: "Would you... like an atom bomb?" Carol: "I'm gonna have to get back to you on that."

some of the remaining deliciousness, in the aftermath of fajita night

in a losing effort, ultimately but still quality content

what a run, what a run these Bears the turnover kings, tonight undone by turnovers but still took it to overtime, and made it so memorable

When the cat is away, the mouse will eat chili-cheese dogs. ... ... ... I'm the mouse. The duo of my spouse and child is the cat. got it? alright nice work, genius
