Family at No Kings in Lexington Kentucky. My 75 year old mom’s first protest. And she saying she hates something more than she hates AT&T is saying a lot.

My kids make fun of me for printing copies of boarding passes and reservation confirmations.

boosting this one for the feeds, as I know some of you are preserving vegetables 🌱 🍽️

HOWLING

How to balance a checkbook, change a tire, replace a faucet, that most things can be killed with fire, etc. Basic life skills.

Me! A nobody who was also a nobody 19 years ago, wrote a blog post that nobody would read but was thinking about this exact scenario. In 2007. I was a paralegal in Kentucky. What reality are we living in?

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

I still have memorized the phone numbers for the two, TWO, BBSs that existed in my small town.

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

I was the Democratic Party's nominee for Congress because of McDonald's Dollar Menu.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Not a professional, but a friend was like "Damn it, I knew this day would come eventually," when we needed to learn the last name of his younger boyfriend. Aspaker

Or secret decoder rings.

Pro tip: Put on Olympic figure skating, press mute and then ask your smart speaker to play The Kinks. Proof positive we live in a simulation or magic is real. One or the other.

I ripped an "EXIT" sign, pole and all, out of the ground in the parking lot of an abandoned hospital and we then ran back to my place. That sign currently is displayed in our entryway.

😪

I really hope this is true, but hearing it from this bitch is about as reassuring as an announcement in 1980: "We have eradicated the threat of Jason Voorhees. He is gone forever."

What I’m wearing to the Bluesky Valentine’s Day Ball. What about you?

China Mieville's The City & The City: 2 cities in same geography: "A denizen of one city must dutifully "unsee"...denizens, buildings, events in the other city." MN as a whole feels like this right now - especially wrt outstaters like my parents who pretend/behave as tho this siege does not exist.

Pro tip: Put on Olympic figure skating, press mute and then ask your smart speaker to play The Kinks. Proof positive we live in a simulation or magic is real. One or the other.

there will still be people trying to downplay this threat despite all the proof that it’s more likely than not to happen

I have so many questions after reading this but my primary one is… So does every male ski jumper get aroused before being measured to get the advantage the natural way? What is it like at that “weigh in”?

Paging Daniel Quinn. Mr Quinn you are being called.

This is a core truth that will have to be reckoned with eventually. Substackification of journalism pulls off the cheap, profitable output and leaves the expensive, difficult stuff. That calculation gets more and more difficult over time.

"Yes, it's possible to be in love with two women at once. Haven't you ever read Archie Comics?" -Jack Donaghy

This is one of my favorite optical illusions, because even when you know specifically HOW IT WORKS, it's still hard to make your brain believe it. The image below is real-world video, but you're being tricked into believing it's an elaborate miniature by the DIORAMA EFFECT. Let's talk about it.

ICE is getting really old.

for the first 20 years of my life, it was legal to imprison me for the crime of loving my partner. for the first 32 years of my life, it was legal to prohibit me from marrying my partner. do not tell me "everything gets worse" because that is a lie which denies the victorious struggle of millions.

And it begins. Chris Bailey, 2 days ago, said if your above the ice line it would be “champagne flakes” and that is perfect description.

I'll be posting a community snow/ice photo gallery to the WUKY website. If you're in the listening area and have a cool shot, send it my way either by tagging @wuky.org or in an email to [email protected] ❄️

Everything is topped off.

As a challenge, I made a playlist that is only Que Sera, Sera. And its pretty good! Sly & The Family Stone might be my favorite but the Hannah Montana version is excellent. Actually there are all good.

@kentuckyweathercb.bsky.social Roads are horrible in middle Scott Co. US-25 is standstill traffic. #Kentucky

Post a game you remember playing that no one remembers. Roadwar 2000

Mr Rogers’ advice. Look for the helpers

Little crystal, I'm thankful you are there in Minnesota.

How I'm dealing with my stress: I bought a 3d printer and am producing 100 whistles at a time. 1000 heading to Minneapolis tomorrow.

This is the way. Make it unconscionable to do the job you rationalized you could do. A single beating of a pot or blowing of a whistle might make one of them ask, "Are we the baddies?"

Look here, Beelzebub, you don’t do it

Why have you snuck into my house?

This is one of many reasons we cancelled cable/sat/bundle TV. We are old so needed alternatives. Our local station, with the best weather guy (@kentuckyweathercb.bsky.social) has an app to stream live. And Haystack News, gives live feeds from Canada, Europe, Asia and the US Just less talking heads

United we stand, divided we fall. Every 5th grader in Kentucky is taught this motto along with where the Pennyroyal (or Pennyrile depending where ya grow up) Region is located If I taught high school history, Harlan County USA would be that movie the teacher puts on. The kids watch. Or they don't

I have no objection to any person’s religion, be it what it may

People just emerging from nowhere, instantly and in NUMBERS, a jaw-dropping magic trick of community action

I didn't save this tweet but somebody did and it feels worth resurfacing
