Immigrants both join America and enrich it. We don't even think about it, because it's so obvious. We're all out there practicing yoga, using Yiddish expressions, eating in Peruvian restaurants. We're the Borg of nations, absorbing & also changing. MAGA is trying to break our culture, not save it.

toes are ridiculous. i mean, look at 'em

something to expect as the midterms draw closer: "major fbi investigations" opened on dem candidates who are ahead in the polls

a pro-talarico pac is airing a tv ad attacking crockett as unelectable vs. gop. shows talking heads making that claim on cable news spots, uses the tagline, "if she wins, we lose." i do not think this ad will have the effect they think it will. (if tv ads matter anymore at all)

‪would like to participate in this "5 classes you took in college" thing, but never went to college. i did take astronomy twice in high school -- but not because i had to! also audited @jbf1755.bsky.social's american revolution lectures on youtube. thank you 'hamilton' for that introduction.

every ad for GOP primary candidates in TX is exactly the same: "i am the greatest christian ever, and nobody hates immigrants or worships our new savior tr*mp more than me!"

dems should start referring to the protesters as freedom fighters, because, after all, it's true. they are putting their lives on the line -- literally -- to oppose government tyranny and stand against neo-nazi violence.

when are the felix nominations announced?

lured into an article by the headline (good job headline writer!) and it began, "for all intensive purposes ..." and nope, not reading any farther.

just had a gyro from a place called athens grill and it was pretty good but nearly as good as the authentic ones at arby's

back when the black panthers formed, armed and began trailing and "witnessing" oakland police, gov. reagan responded with a strict gun control law. today, when people trail and witness ice, republicans respond by saying those "witnesses" deserve to die.

saw gas in san antonio at $2.03 this morning, lowest i've seen. might *really* drop below $2 soon. an irony of the rest-of-the-world's converting its auto fleets to EVs is that gas demand will drop off sharpy, lowering prices in america where we refuse to embrace EVs.

in all seriousness, other nato countries should each be sending small garrisons to greenland

i was only about 30 minutes into the last "mission impossible" before i was thinking, "gawd is this ever going to end?" thank goodness for the fast forward button.

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

why do so many women's college volleyball coaches look like uncle fester?

i like my soup chunky, like i like my women

anyone expecting tx dems to field a strong slate of candidates is, one again, sorely disappointed. and, once again, julian castro, the most disappointing dem in tx, nowhere to be seen

vikings really took a 14-win team and turned it over to a qb who *is so bad* that everyone involved in that decision deserves to have their competency at judging talent deemed awful and, maybe, be fired. probably fired. one of the all-time worst nfl talent decisions.

that lizza piece was a parody of nutso's writing i keep typing lizzo, and if only it were so -- lizzo is a better writer than both of them

@markjacob.bsky.social did you know a journalist named frank pieper?

I've seen enough. that's it, that's the tweet

was there a second chewer on the yeasty roll?

I gave up on "The Substance" during the closeups of Dennis Quaid's mouth as he ate shrimp, mere minutes into the film. That's as a much body horror as I can stand.

🧵 #MythBustingTuesday The CDC reportedly floated separating the MMR into individual shots without any published evidence that doing so improves safety. Let’s unpack why this myth persists, what the data show, and why countries like Senegal are moving in the opposite direction.

@meglinehan.com will nwsl+ still exist next season, or is the victory+ deal taking over that role? tnx

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

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

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

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.
