I think I've definitely shared this before, but if you are thinking about the 75th birthday of Narnia, as I am, you might enjoy this piece I wrote about re-reading The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe after leaving the church as an adult. the-rambling.com/2023/04/06/i...

He immediately threw a 3rd down checkdown into traffic, lol. Never change, Pickett.

Birthday bugs, hosted by Stephanie "BeetleLady" Dole and featuring a cast of dozens of two- and six-legged friends.

How the hell did the Patriots lose to this Raiders team?

a big problem i predict is that many GOPs who have been licking Trump's boot up till now will suddenly say "I've always had a backbone" and people will just believe them. We need to turn the entire GOP to dust, at every level, from your local school board to Washington, or this'll just happen again

Shower thought of the day: If the act of being a pirate is "piracy," than the act of being a pilot should be "pilocy."

My entire adult life has consisted of Republicans insisting that nothing good is possible (climate mitigation, solar arrays, high-speed rail, reforestation, etc. etc.). Meanwhile, China has gone and done all those things.

Today is a good day to play Bat Patrol.

Every TTRPG looks like so much fun, and then I remember I don't have the time or community to play them, lol.

And away we go. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Something crazy about the US and international copyright enforcement regime is that they consistently criminalize digital archiving when it is done for pro-social reasons, but consistently protect the reuse of archived materials by other parties when it is for commercial reasons

I have posted this one before, but it's perfect for today's #BirdOfTheDay #Lunchtime. #birds #nature #photography

Oh hell yes. The PSX aesthetic is perfect for Yume Nikki.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Fiction acceptance today! That's five this year – a record for me.

Honestly, this looks to me like a memory aid. The kind of thing they put in nursing homes to help the dementia patients remember where they are.

I doubt the word "arguably" has ever done more work.

Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in One Piece style (eh..kind of.....I need to practice it for..... a few more weeks.... ) posting for @lost-fool.bsky.social , of course

They’ll insist this is a one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else. They’re wrong. New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe. If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

The Cuomo watch party is now playing "Should I Stay or Should I Go." Lol.

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

I kind of wish Cheney lived to see this.

jay jones has a winning message for 2026: [REMOVED FOR VIOLATION OF TOS]

I think a lot of my feelings about how political or media influence works in this decade can boil down to “I should not have to know who this person is.”

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

I know better than to hope for good things anymore, but how rad would it be if Mamdani were elected on the same day we buried Cheney?

When the news calls you a “divisive figure” in 2025 that means you did some atrocities

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

About fucking time one of them says it.

One of the small but brilliant things about Harrow County is how its artists often include onomatopoeias in their rendering of what's producing the sound.

why it's almost like there's a concerted assault on informed consensus by extraction class owned media conglomerates to replace what was left of U.S. political journalism with lazy controversy hounding infotainment and right wing and corporatist agitprop

New awareness campaign

What leaving the Jets will do to a guy.

Hell yeah, Seahawks throwbacks! One of the best uniforms in professional sports.

The entire concept of a "prediction market" is like something out of a Borges story. If not a Philip K. Dick.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

Man, the Patriots offense looked scary enough, but now they're managing some serious YAC, too. Be afraid, league.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

I don't have a feeling about baseball but Los Angeles has been through hell this year and something that makes this city feel good is good

Guess Boston is the only AL East team that knows how to beat the Dodgers.

The baseball gods have ignored your prayers, leaving only the baseball devils to heed them.

I(n+∞)ning

they must end this game before the daylight savings clock adjustment. nobody knows what will happen if baseball gets into the time shift. we could get stuck in the time wormhole forever

I don't yet envy the dead, but I'm nearly there.

This is basically what Blaseball was like, except it was twenty times every hour on the hour.

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me

Is the city of Toronto deserving of generational sports trauma? Asking for several thousand friends.
