It’s been two weeks since BART Prom, and my corsage is somehow still going strong. They gave these to every attendee! Real flowers & foliage! The team at @bart.gov that threw the prom deserves mega kudos, that event was so well done, and whoever it was that made these corsages happen is a genius.

Check out Strong Bad’s Basement. It’s been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest and real real hot. Leave your virtual butt print on June 25th!

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

This is beautiful.

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Get acquainted with our state via this highly accurate and mostly-to-scale map.

I did a crossword tournament for the first time today!! Westwords (@westwords-xwt.bsky.social) was thee most fun. Warm, silly, brilliant, supportive crowd and organizers. I got Distinguished Rookie (Beach division) & won these boss pencils! Made a bunch of new friends, can’t wait to do it again.

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

well then i guess Pace Picante Sauce can SHUT THE FUCK UP

A single laptop has never served so many people

God they’re having so much fun. I wanna be there!

I’ve seen overdetermined worldbuilding sections of fantasy epics that don’t have this much scaffolding.

You can't escape the blue family recreation water, so you might as well join it. 🤷 Wishlist the Homestar Runner Distraction Pack on Steam now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4610520/Walkabout_Mini_Golf_Homestar_Runner_Distraction_Pack/

I figured I should do some marketing for this @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social DLC sooo... And check out more in-game snippets in this videro: youtu.be/YnY4qKo-sDE?...

Okay but hear me out: 2 seasons of Widow’s Bay to explore the story of the island, after that it morphs into Fantasy Island, with the trapped islanders stuck for eternity (poorly) hiding the curse from rotating guest star tourists. Workplace buddy comedy/horror, but now with Charo. Let me have this.

Okay, turtles and tortoises… my return to the L.A. airwaves is TOMORROW at 8am Pacific Time! Roots Music & Beyond (starting at 7am with another host for the 1st hour), KPFK 90.7 FM here, and around the world at kpfk.org. If locals can’t be arsed to get up that early it’ll go on their 2-week archive.

With one more episode to go, I interview the brilliant "Widow's Bay" director Hiro Murai. (No paywall) www.motionpictures.org/2026/06/dire...

Yes, we get another season of Widow’s Bay! “Dippold, for her part, joked that season two will be “about how everything is great on the island and there’s nothing to worry about.”” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/w...

The best excuse for lateness I have ever received is from another priest who said "I am sorry I am late. I stopped to reassure a Cocker Spaniel of the importance of their place in the universe."

I think this is what NYC must have felt like during the events seen in the documentary Ghostbusters

I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

i just did a workshop with kids about making comics. emphasized that ANYONE can make comics. you don't have to be a "good" artist. you find a story that matches your art style and you do it and it's awesome. and a kid who NEVER PARTICIPATES got out from under a desk and PARTICIPATED and had a blast.

Daydreaming about the Season 2 Widow’s Bay episode the universe owes me, where Rosemary (Dale Dickey) & Dale (Jeff Hiller), being office besties, have their own silly adventure. 🙏

This is worth considering when you share screenshots of Twitter morons on this non-Twitter site. You're just breaking down the meager firewall we were able to build against this Nazi and his propaganda machine. The moment Twitter stops regularly getting in front of non-Nazis, it's just Truth Social.

my latest @consumerreports.org investigation is based on months of reporting and 120+ lab tests of popular snacks over a third of the products had more additives / contaminants in 1 serving than what health agencies have identified as safe to consume daily 🧵 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

basketball’s all like gimme that pumpkin i need it and tennis is all like fuck this lemon you take it.

Yooooo remember a couple years ago when those three LA city council members were caught on tape saying a ton of insanely racist stuff and conspiring to gerrymander another council member’s district? That other council member was Nithya Raman. The voting bloc they were trying to split? Renters.

If you’re in line to dunk on Spencer Pratt: STAY IN LINE.

BART is throwing a prom in the Rockridge station lot, and hot damn, it is the cutest, funnest, queerest amazing thing. Just a few hundred people getting a redo on their cruddy prom experience. Loving this so much.

Dr. Steven Khan, one of my colleagues here at UW, is a specialist in type 2 diabetes. His work has been cited 145,000 times and his H-index is 153. He is the Editor in Chief of _Diabetes Care_, the ADA's flagship journal.

Photos of newly arrived immigrants at Ellis Island. Augustus Sherman took the photos between 1902 and 1920 when he worked as the Chief Registry Clerk. Striking to me how the outfits all look good because they have a discernible silhouette (shape and drape).

a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

Anyway, if anybody knows a historian/history buff who might be able to answer some fairly basic, but annoyingly hard to search questions about life in Boston in ~1905 my DM's are open.

Widow’s Bay 8: Bye-bye Recap of episode 8, which perfectly executes on another horror genre while also demonstrating how mystery series should work (Spoilers)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
