Ah, flashback to the time I wrote ten papers in two weeks at the end of my sophomore year. One was a group paper. One was in Spanish. 3-40 pages. No AI. A good amount of bullshit.

I spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell this morning. He said “GOOD BYE” and “PARKER BROTHERS, INC”

No, comrade bear! You’re going to wrong way. You’re moving towards the working class burbs, not the fat rich communities to the east!

We did not say who would be eating the rich. Keep going a little further east, bear. Hunting Valley is where you want to be.

Lol, the DC fireworks are starting at midnight on July 5th.

I thought about pets first, because my dog doesn’t like fireworks or when fighter jets buzz the house during the air show. But DC has a lot of veterans and others who have been in actual war zones. This seems cruel. In addition to being a waste of money and resources.

“So this is what some of us, at least, will be doing with the rest of our lives: Smacking down these shitty people and reimagining our republic to be better than it is today” ❤️🇺🇸❤️

And today of all days, the Dems aren’t messaging about donating to save trans kids or preserve birthright citizenship. It’s just “give us money.” I also don’t think these messages come from the Acton (or Ossoff or Talarico) campaigns, I think they’re from PACs. So I’m def not sending them $

Oh no. In addition to the incessant texts they found me on FB Messenger I like Amy Acton and will vote for her. I might campaign for her. But these messages are asinine. Who actually donates because of them?

I have been saying this ever since MLB introduced the extra inning ghost runner. No ghost runner. Home run derby after the 12th inning

Freedom250 is what happens when you don’t fight for your right to party

Denying this man a visa sucks, but I am reassured ordinary Americans are overwhelmingly terrific hosts to our all of our WC visitors. Lawrence, KS embracing the Nigerians, Argentinians and Texans debating beef & BBQ… Xenophobic racists are the minority and we shouldn’t let them act like they’re not

Last year I went to the Lorain county fair on a Monday and they had a bigger crowd.

If you don’t want to be treated like the bad guys, stop acting like stormtroopers.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

Shontel Brown is a fine representative (she was more vocal than Justin Bibb at the No Kings rally last fall) but I will never forgive establishment Dems/PACs for spending millions on a very blue seat to defeat a progressive. Nina Turner has her issues, but that race is why I don’t send $ to the DNC

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.

Ohhhhh, Vance is Catholic in the same way he was a hillbilly

I love this. Unmute.

Daniel Espino, the Guardians pitching prospect whose road to the Majors has been derailed by multiple surgeries, is finally making his big league debut and his mom can barely contain herself. He went on to strike out two in a perfect inning.

I want closed captions for the World Cup but just for what the crowd is singing/chanting. And translation services as necessary

Is foisting Trump on Iran an option??

In college, a friend was begging me to go with her to dinner with a scummy guy she was too nice to shut down altogether. “If you don’t go he’ll think it’s a date!” “If I do go he’ll think it’s a threesome!”

One nice thing about living alone is that storing plums in the icebox is a pretty low-risk activity

19, and I pretty much live on the US/Canada border. 🤣 I travel and I like to eat and cook.

Oh man, now I really want Frosty fries. (This whole thread is a gem)

This is an amazing question and also an amazing answer.

Bye Bye Birdie: He was in Bye Bye Birdie in high school 😂

Oh my. Quite the attempt to get the average American into the World Cup youtu.be/4_yQyyrPxkg?...

Put the entire cast of The Office into a bureaucratic Imperial pod somewhere. Half of them are oblivious. Jim and Pam slowly turn Dwight towards the Rebellion

How else can he pay his paramilitary force?

In my 20s, I had a shitty white collar job. We joked about a standing $50 to anyone who quit Jerry Maquire-style I now have more respect for people who go out like Scott Pelley. Talent putting management on blast. Bonus points to do so, publicly, with the interview skills that got you there.

This could get really interesting/messy. I’d post about eating popcorn except a genocide is ongoing and who knows what horrors will happen next

Beautiful day to take the dog for a long walk

And, for real, this is what happened when I tried to translate the sentence at the end of the article

You should read the whole article, but at least read this part www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/t...

I have questions about the Milli Vanilli performance: - Weren’t they a duo? Is the audience only getting half a Vanilli? - Or is the person who actually sang the vocals performing? - Does anyone outside of my cohort (young GenX, elder Millennial) know who Milli Vanilli is?

I know these guys are stupid and self centered but have they looked at a map. Or a schedule of international flights. Yes, you can fly internationally from Ohio. To Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and, for some reason, Ireland. The same is true for other red state airports except ATL, HOU, and DFW

Happy Memorial Day

I took Phoebe for a walk. The neighborhood children have used sidewalk chalk to write POOP 67 in the middle of the street

This post is as good as The Bloggess ever was, plus bonus baby kitten content

I miss The Toast so much. TWOP, Jezebel and io9 before Gawker was destroyed, Hyperbole and a Half. But y’all, some of our favorite blogs live on! @fuggirls.bsky.social and @thebloggess.bsky.social are still alive and kicking

1. Yinzerpalooza is a very funny name for an event 2. The event is sponsored by Mrs T Pierogis 3. The Dr Robby bobblehead does not look much like Dr Robby

Happy Rescue Dog Day, Phoebe!
