Hops season is at peak in Grandview WA. These trucks are delivering the hop vines to a picking machine where they will be hung upside down to strip the cones from the vines then separated & cleaned before drying the hops with hot air and cooled for local breweries. #WeFeedYou

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

This is how you do it. If they're not going to answer the question, repeat the known facts, reiterate that they are not answering the question, and then cut off their air.

Its incredible how much of history and how little of learned history is affected by purposeful famine

As the Windows 10 end of support looms, be advised that your PC can be upgraded to Win11 even if Microsoft claims it can't. Not all machines will be able to upgrade but there's a good chance that 7-8 year old PCs can be upgraded. www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

there is no god when Diane Keaton dies before Woody Allen does

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

If Kid Rock keeps talking, every vagina in America will zip itself closed.

“We should replace Bad Bunny with Lee Greenwood” is an also a perfect summation of the “deal” they’ve offered universities.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Happy for the Mariners but they should make baseball games like hockey and after so many extra innings introduce a second ball

Has anyone else not had food at a big box movie without feeling buyers remorse 1/4 through the chewy hours-old popcorn since the pandemic?

this is *really* interesting, both if you're interested in violence--but also if you're interested in history. there's so much in here about how easy it is to think evidence Y so obviously means X that you never bother to analyze whether it actually does

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Farm workers at Windmill Farms organized with @ufw.bsky.social over 3 years ago, yet the company refuses to recognize their union. We will have these workers' backs for as long as it takes to get them a fair contract. You can sign their petition here: act.seiu.org/a/windmill_i...

I’m only hearing it in snippets on TikTok but Taylor Swift singing, “I drink that brown liquor” when 1) it’s basically never said outside of AAVE and 2) there’s a vid of her stating vodka Diet Coke is her fav cocktail is part of the album’s cringe I’m not seeing discussed enough.

Surely this will trickle down to workers, right?

Another great thing about Taylor Swift flopping on this specific album is I won’t have to explain that burnt orange has been my color since kicking off my New Hollywood fixation

Surprise! Drake's defamation lawsuit has been dismissed. www.jezebel.com/certified-lo...

Not exaggerating when I say that SB 79, a bill making it easier to build housing near mass transit, is the most consequential piece of legislation that the Democratic Party has passed all year. Saying no to the worst people in our coalition proves we're serious about the future.

Literally every dictator (except the dumbest ever, apparently) knows you have to keep the military happy.

i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

lede = introductory section in journalism bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

Feels like "a bunch of ICE new hires are actually registered sex offenders" is a shoe waiting to drop given how certainly little vetting anyone is doing of these guys.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News. Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

This does not absolve anyone who refused to vote for Harris in 2024 because of Gaza. Such a refusal was, and remains, totally inexcusable. But had Biden gotten a deal done before the August 2024 convention, I think Harris wins, probably fairly easily.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now. For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours. Please share your joys with us.
