Congratulations to @joannaschaffhausen.bsky.social, winner of The G.P. Putnam’s Sons Sue Grafton Memorial Award for Gone in the Night (Macmillan Publishers – Minotaur Books) #Edgars2026

I don’t think this is true. Biden didn’t lose bc he was old. He lost bc ppl were mad at Dems. You can tell bc they elected a man almost as old…

I guessed this one almost exactly. Statistical modeling for the win!

What'd you do over the weekend? Public Works began resurfacing the street in front of the Chipotle where Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense

My kind of movies: 5. Hapless guy realizes too late that he’s in love & now he must do a grand gesture 4. Lawyers get justice for wronged people 3. Nerds to the rescue! 2. Someone finds a piece of paper that proves THEY KNEW THE WHOLE TIME 1. Late reveal makes you rethink the whole plot

these images are the same

If “first they came for” means anything: Trans people are clearly one of the first they’re coming for. Calls to go along with, even help that effort—because you think it’ll boost the party brand with some voters, or avoid dividing the working class, or whatever you tell yourself—deserve a hard no.

So delighted to join this great team to support mystery writers and readers!

Lately there’s always two mood at once at all times: Mood one: “I must spread love and support at al times. We stand together. We fight together. We protect each other.” Mood two: “He did what now? Fuck all those motherfuckers. Fuck all of this.”

Nothing softer or more velvety than a basset ear.

Same, dog. Same.

This is astute. The FDA e.g. has issues and Trump's solution is "GET RID OF IT" but having no food & drug safety would be awful. So Dems are forced to defend imperfect institutions & message nuance ("We will improve it by doing X!") and that inevitably moves them into policy wonk & away from vibes.

Oh no, one of of you posted "and you're surprised??" in reply to someone, didn't you? If you do that, Bluesky crashes and no one's allowed to post for an hour. This is a feature, not a bug.

In my memories today, a trip to the grocery when my kid was 6yo. E: I want Cheddar Bunnies. Me: No. E: I need Cheddar Bunnies! Me: That's too bad because we are not getting Cheddar Bunnies. E: I must have some Cheddar Bunnies! Me: Nope, that's not happening. E: ...Well, then how about Starbucks?
