Interesting uh graffiti at a Greek diner men's room in eastern PA.

Western PA is a lot more like the Midwest than those yinzers would admit, but eastern PA is extremely east coast (cough Jersey cough) coded.

This is a useful image

Well, that was great.

"Birthday Spin"

Despite many falls, I have survived skiing for the first time, no wiser, but much more sore

What's the over/under on Bad Bunny breaking out this move at the Super Bowl

George: Well, I'm in the files Jerry: You're in the files!? George: I'M IN THE FILES, JERRY!

i think the name H.P. Lovecraft gave his cat was bad for reasons other than that it might hurt the cat's feelings

You think you can outsmart your brain, but you can't. If you do something ironically, you will end up doing it earnestly. This is good (exercise, diet, study) and bad (racism, bigotry, hatefulness). But you can't handle things at a remove. You are not a pilot in your head. You are your actions.

You ever think about how many S-tier words use the -ight formulation

This "Scavengers Reign" show seems pretty good. Obviously it must have been a huge success and have multiple seasons, right

Progress is being made along multiple vectors.

This is a wild bit of lore, and I respect it

In light of recent events, someone tell Cooper I forgive him, and he's welcome back into the fold.

Local substacker with relaxed opinions on slavery offers scathing critique of American liberalism

Alright, I am extremely not taking notes on the Democrats from someone who willingly moved to a modern day slave state.

Imagine if some of you could have turned the energy you spend on defending the DSA from the latest antics of the IC on defending the actual progressive accomplishments of Democrats under Biden.

"No punching left" begins at Bernie Sanders and it should have begun at Joe Manchin.

Because I am still irritated about this: if you feel the need to do "throat clearing" pro forma criticisms of the Democrats *every time* you say something in defense/support of them, you are not in any meaningful respect doing the latter.

Well I guess Cooper can dish but taking? Well,

"I like this guy and I don't think he should be criticized in even the mildest possible terms" alright buddy good job out there, hit the locker room and grab an orange

I am capable of weenie posts the size of which you would not believe

This defense of the fact that the Democrats are constrained in their ability to deliver things at the moment would be stronger if he didn't feel the need to twice in three tweets assure his audience that he, too, does not actually support the Democrats.

I stared at this for a solid thirty seconds trying to decide if it was a joke, but I don't think it is. All I can say is that this evinces a flat, thoughtless literalism to "advocacy" that must be exhausting.

Feel like I've seen this headline too many times

"Minority party" ≠ "opposition party"

Oat de cuisine

Bernie Sanders. I do not believe Sanders could even feign taking a muppet seriously.

It is absolutely, 100% impossible to believe that Biden would have received the same treatment. As well he shouldn't!

I assume there is Lore surrounding this Infantry Dort character, but I am unclear on how an active duty member of the military can get away with posting like that on main pseudo-anonymously and not get smacked.

Black olives in tacos is fusion food

Always find the local angle

I think about this video once a week

Every time I see this man his hair and goatee get more upsetting

Why would the Democrats be messaging about Billie Eilish

"We're getting the absolutely shit kicked out of us on this issue highlighting our inhumane and capricious immigration policies, so let's throw motor oil on the fire"

"I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He strolled, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place."

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

The last two days of warmup have had the intended effect of creating a thick meniscus of ice in the alley behind our garage, which will now get covered in an inch of snow, so I've got that going for me.

Based on these results, I am declaring myself Culturally Dad

"When is a post just good natured ribbing, and when does it cross over into 'racially tinged'? We'll sort it out tonight, once in for all, in this week's Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupoli"

A flaw in the block system, I think, is a lack of context that it injects in the timeline. For example, I just saw this come up on Deck Blue, and when I opened it to see what the OP was, it didn't do anything. Opening in Bluesky, I see because it's a QT of a blocked OP.

Which reporter will be the one to ask Mike Johnson about Trump's incredibly racist tweet and then drop it when he says he hasn't seen it
