I think that people who obsessively associate social progressivism with questions of "guilt" are mostly telling on themselves. And not even necessarily in the obvious way, but in a more general sense of lacking the emotional management to deal with feelings like guilt and shame.

Some very good news

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

Oh thank god

Listeners of @ifbookspod.bsky.social will enjoy this essay. I haven't read many self-help books but thanks to the show I'm pretty familiar with a lot of the titles referenced.

i bet a lot of these players have been playing baseball since they were kids. that’s probably a big reason why they’re so good. if you learn this kind of stuff when you’re young it gives you a big head start

He just like me fr fr

"I feel bad for Usha" "I feel bad for the kids" Well, I feel bad for Robert Mueller and the rule of law

ICYMI, I wrote a feature for the MIT Technology Review on my journey of surviving the Eaton Fire while also reporting on and dealing with its myriad scams and conspiracy theories. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/30/1...

This is my favourite thing that I’ve made this year. It’s a lithograph, one of a series about walking in weather. You know when you walk out of rain into sudden sunshine? That.

Rediscovered my childhood rock collection. The rocks, they're not good.

Probably not great how much my mental health is riding on Mamdani winning

I just don’t understand how they thought “ha ha ha this loser can’t afford child care in the city I’m currently mayor of” would be a good look.

I come from a family where we don't call people Aunt unless they're literally your Aunt, and I think it's fine actually. Families are allowed to be different.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

perhaps our reach exceeded our grasp but by God we knew how to dream in this country, once

bill maher has passed away after being made to shut up for five god damn minutes this evening. doctors say the comedian and talk show host likely died of a "broken heart" which they note was "black as coal" and "no bigger than an acorn" though it rolled under a cabinet before measurements were taken

I’m sorry y’all the Seattle mayoral race is straight up hilarious. A millionaire incumbent trying to paint his opponent who is raising a 2 year old in a 1 bedroom apartment as out of touch lol

I don't think anybody's against "gender-affirming care." They're against trans people. It's not hypocritical to support gender-affirming care for cis people, it's just transphobic.

Pretty sure more than anything, my brain needs more "bored" time. Unfortunately I can't stop piping words into my ears and eyeballs for 95% of my awake time.

Some people want their work or their family name to be remembered long after they're gone. I want my ossicles glued to a plank in a 37th century museum as docents explain to bored schoolkids that these bones prove that most 21st cen humans went deaf from listening to too many podcasts.

Mariners, doing everything the hard way since 1977

This is a good website

I think it's kind of nasty and reductive to refer to mature women who marched today as "wine moms and grandmas," even when it's said in admiration or support

Where my “no kink at No Kings” discourse at?

the average person commits fraud twice a year, but this is only because of statistical outlier Santos Georg, who should not be counted

Just walked past a neighbor sitting on their stoop with a miniature picnic table, attempting to coax a squirrel to come eat a nut at the table. So, you know, some kings.

Caturday meets No Kings day.

I never understood the "Wag more, bark less" thing. To me it's always just sounded like "shut up and smile"

Dumpeth the hour, dumpeth the man

Mariners, I have asked you nicely, but now I am telling you: SCORE SOME RUNS

Bari Weiss looks a lot like my favorite cousin, which makes me dislike her (bari) even more

Dude could have put the slightest bit of effort into it and used a Ham Dogger

Noggin. Noodle. Cabeza. No matter what you call it, your head is pivotal to your well-being

Feel like I’ve been hearing jokes all my life about how L.L.Bean stands for “Ladies Love Bean” or “Live Laugh Bean” or whatever, but nothing is funnier than the stone-cold fact that its founder’s name was Leon Leonwood Bean

And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

No one is talking about the real controversy here: that 'Bari Weiss' sounds like a delicious ice-cream.

Lawrence made at least two big boy throws on that final drive and we will forever remember it for him tripping on his dick and then weaving into the end zone like a drunk making his way out of a crowded restaurant, that’s sports, to me

I have to say, I'm not fond of anyone who tries to incite dogpiles on here, or even just "let's all point and laugh at this one user", even if it's against someone that's been designated This Week's Acceptable Target.

Andrés Muñoz says that when he and his wife leave the apartment every day they leave the game on for Matilda to watch. He’s pretty sure she helped him make that catch last night.

welcome to portland, california national guard

This is what a Bad Bitch looks like.

Solution: "gifted" programs that have *fewer* resources than other classes. I didn't need anything other than to cover more material faster.

There's no perfect way to teach every kid at their own pace but I bristle at the idea that I shouldn't be allowed to learn more advanced stuff in subjects that I was good at. As well as more remedial help with the subjects I struggled with.

I'm so twisted that to me he's just Bunny.

40-40 is a scorigami. congrats everybody
