My parents' first cat, named Cat, 1962. Cat loved riding in cars, would go to the drive-in movies with them. Would go with them to other people's houses, play in their yards, and ride back home. @catsofyore.bsky.social #catsky

mccarthy stinks. i need wentz to have a great game and create a qb controversy.

“‘We’re collecting the names of anyone who says anything negative about Robert Redford or any of his movies and calling their employers.’ “See how fucking stupid that sounds?” (H/T @marktinta.bsky.social)

i see old movies in which there is a dog or cat and think, "i wonder if there is anyone still alive who knew that pet and thinks of it from time to time ..."

i really hate slabs. there is an obvious need, from the business and protecting value sides of things, for them to exist. but i hate 'em and won't buy them. give me the old dog-earred "g-vg" card that i can hold in my hands and flip through with other cards. #cardsky

couldn't vampires just wear sunscreen?

@jtannenwald.bsky.social what is pepi's status?

the more i think about the alyssa thompson move, the more i think it is going to be disastrous for her *in the short term*. she's not going to get any playing time. the chelsea manager is not going to start her ahead of any of those european stars in the front line.

grew up in a 250k pop. tx city, and i've asked some people who also grew up there if there were scared every time they left the house in 1985. of course they weren't. and yet, i guarantee that city's crime rate in 1985 (*most* cities crime rate in 1985) was way worse than DC's in 2025

we hardly drive, yet we wind up with a screw in a tire a couple times a year. starting to wonder if a neighbor is intentionally tossing screws at the base of our driveway.

winner of the cuomo scavenger hunt announced: pizza rat

why would diana ross say to her man "i know you're cheating" *respectfully*? give him hell woman! (and she sings it so cheerily)

forced to go to taco cabana this morning for my coffee, like an animal

what oh-so-smart people like tim cook don't get is that the second tr*mp orders him to do something that is either illegal or terribly detrimental to him or company, and cook refuses, tr*mp will have him brought up on bribery charges. he's on camera paying a bribe! blackmail material for future use.

Back when Google added their little AI summaries to the top of search, traffic to a website I run cratered. Traffic recently came back, though, and it's because those AI summaries now often cite ... my website. Great! Except the AI frequently gets wrong what my articles say!

they are giving tr*mp time to agree to pardon maxwell in exchange for her publicly stating he is innocent and bill c. is the guy you really want to throw in jail

is it my imagination or is bluesky (mostly) celebrating hunter calling attention to himself and mehdi helping 20 white supremacists build their brands?

i sure miss the nl west of my childhood. and the baseball cards of my childhood. and, well, my childhood. but i don't miss garvey or the dodgers. big red machine baby!

still have a hard time believing this is happening ... yet, it's what i expected to happen, and it IS happening. have a (now ex-)friend who for years would randomly blurt out, "how could the germans have let h*tler happen!" and is now very enthusiastically maga.

maybe this group of death wasn't so group-of-deathy after all

trumpism is bog-standard cruel gop orthodoxy that the government must not help anyone except rich people, combined with naziism.

Indiana Jones battles N*zis again, only this time they are American.

coco and jessica both out in the first round. shocking.

i am disconsolate

@thepmcproject.bsky.social‬ @eggpod.bsky.social‬ realized just this morning how much i love paul's songs in which he repeats the same lyric over and over ... Why Don't We Do It In the Road, That Would Be Something, Down to the River, Rinse the Raindrops

i've always found the ending of "high noon" very anticlimactic. just doesn't seem all that hard for will to survive!

Caitlan Clark is both an important and an incredible basketball talent, and I've heard nothing that makes me think she isn't a nice person in real life. But she is also 1. One of the biggest showboats in all of sports. 2. One of the whiniest players (on court) in all of sports.

real talk: many frank lloyd wright houses are butt-ugly

we are maybe two weeks away from martial law for non-tr*mp states

i loathe el*n m*sk and do not care what happens to him (but do not wish harm upon anyone). but, in all seriousness, he should be thinking of getting out of the country before tr*mp tells ICE to rendition him.

Too many liberals think “people already know” what the parties stand for. The last few elections have made very clear not only do people not know, but if the other guy tells them what you stand for in the absence of you saying anything they’re going to believe his lies.

it's too late, but i think one of the (many, many) communications failures* of scientists talking about climate change was not always including conversions to fahrenheit. lots of people hear "2-4 degrees" and think, so what? (*exponentially outweighed by bad faith and lying from con men, o/c)

@838carlisle.bsky.social why is mel b on neither the u23 or u20 teams? did sd deny permission?

not sure most #uswnt fans have comprehended the possibility, verging on likelihood, that "triple espresso" will never play together again on the national team. and the certainty that even if they do, they'll never again reach the same level. the "triple espresso" era was very sweet, but very short.

@kamccudden.bsky.social when were you at the caller-times?

here in tx i am frequently seeing tv ads and newspaper ads praising tr*mp's "miraculous" economic, tax and job achievements. dems and dem groups are so woefully out-propaganda'd

Pope Ditka I was right there

american conservative catholics have been on the road to a schism for a long time. it just drew a lot closer. and tr*mp might actually become pope of *that* religion.

there is a significantly greater-than-zero chance that newsom will go maga if at any point he thinks it will help his career/pocketbook

rockford really screwed up not wifin' up beth

gina ortiz jones might be the thing that ushers dems into the minority in san antonio

beginning to wonder if we'll ever see mallory swanson again ...

someone, preferably a prominent publication or journalist, needs to be cataloging these white supremacist decisions and incidents. because this is an explicitly white supremacist regime. but if you try to tell that to anyone not paying attention, most won't believe you

With the reports of chaos at Social Security Admin, Dems should have a plan in place RIGHT NOW for how they will not just repair the damage but strengthen the program and INCREASE benefits. And should be shouting it into the air at every opportunity.

@jasonkander.bsky.social did your uncle ever talk about de niro putting the kibosh on the first version of ny ny?

reactions to hillary's arrival on bsky are causing my first real block party here

very happy tcu knocked out notre dame. but man, two months ago i woulda bet the house on notre dame winning it all. what happened there?

@838carlisle.bsky.social would you guess that emma has had contact with gia corley? (assuming she's eligible for a switch and will be for a while)

gonna have to start unfollowing or blocking people who respond to the latest crisis by tweeting, "gee i wonder who will play (the villain) on saturday night live!"
