Does anyone have a list of the “journalists” attending tonight’s WHCP so they can be properly shunned?

The fun thing about reading Dante’s “Inferno” is that everyone keeps asking me why I’m reading Dante’s “Inferno.”

Pure late-70s brilliance. “Do your parents know you’re a Ramone?”

Queen of my people.

Dem leadership for generations: no you fool, you infant. It is a process. It takes time and political capital and expertise, it's- Mamdani, dusting off his hands: fixed it Dem leadership: what do you mean you fixed it Mamdani: Just had to unplug it.

What the actual fuck? Hello, union reps?

Support your local film festival! Boston's best, the Independent Film Festival Boston, starts tmw (Wed. 3/22) with "I Love Boosters," the latest outrageous comic provocation from director @bootsriley.bsky.social. Here are my picks for 12 movies to catch at the 23rd annual @iffboston.bsky.social.

These two Mourning Doves at my feeder cam look like they just rang my doorbell because Tony Soprano sent them to collect a debt I owe.

A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us. If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

Welcome to the sangha. Today's dharma talk will be on the Zen doctrine of "He who smelt it, dealt it" and its oneness with the Universal Truth of "He who denied it, supplied it."

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

If there's a secret service agent who wants to be remembered as a hero by history, today would be the day.

April in New England. In case you’re wondering about the alcoholism rates.

Trying to come up with a resurrection emoji but this is the best I can do: 🧔‍♀️🪨👍

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

Every single person who allows this late-stage dementia-addled man to continue in office for a single additional minute belongs in The Hague.

Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime www.instagram.com/reel/DWrg5xi...

If we could harness the energy surge of everyone spending an entire day praying he'd gone flatline, we'd be on Mars in 27 minutes.

Now do Hegseth.

After we win back the House and Senate, impeach him and pass the Disgraced Presidents Act. Let him pay for his own security with his crypto money. He should have been in prison since January 6.

I hate to break it to some of you, but the Harry Potter books were just shite as writing. You were just too young to know.

Man, I have never seen it nailed quite so precisely as this.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

In the beekeeping course I’m taking, we learn that male drones are basically kept around to provide sperm, after which they lie around the hive drinking beer doing nada until the female workers have had enough and kick them outside to die. I’m starting to think this is a pretty good idea all around.

Uh, maybe someone should be paying attention to this ?

That's right, it's another Oscar post-mortem.

I’m having a visceral “let people enjoy things” response to this morning’s post-Oscar tut-tutting. Guess I’m getting old. Or tired. Or both.

California doesn’t miss 💥 Sending the forwarding address.

Handmaids Tale arriving on schedule.

"Whichever wins Best Picture, both have won the larger prize. 'Sinners' makes us reconsider how the story was told in the past;'One Battle' makes us consider how it could be told differently going forward, how we could tell it differently. To quote Perfidia Beverly Hills,'Snap, crackle, pop, baby.'"

I … I just can’t.

If you see this post a vampire who is not Dracula.

This is beautifully, incineratingly furious.

Crowd-sourcing the Epstein Files -- brilliant.

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

Love both this thread and the personal stories in the comments. The myth of the one-income American family was exactly that — a myth.

Pete Buttigieg nails it.

This week's rants and reviews. ("Sirat," "Father Mother Sister Brother," "A Private Life," "H is for Hawk" among the latter; you know what for the former.)

Trials. There will have to be trials.

Biscuits would like a word.
