Congrats @rabihalameddine.bsky.social!! His books are phenomenal--so excited to read the new one. And check out his BlueSky if you haven't already; it's without question one of THE reasons to remain on this site.

My motto in more ways / areas I care to mention! (Okay, I do care to mention: see my Pinterest page "Men with epic noses" for more examples)

Stefanik is truly one of the most pathetic to ever (attempt to) play the grifter politics game. This photo itself is so fittingly (and terrifyingly) "asshole frat boys high-fiving as they throw disgraced girl out of keg party" wapo.st/4s2feG5

I love this photo. It's pretty much an image of every north, south, east, and west around the part of the USA I grew up in (and that isn't a complaint). Posted by my bestest of best friends from high school, who likely saw a lot MORE of this yellow & green out her bedroom windows every day.

I wish these stupid people with their faux-persecution complexes would get their stories straight.

Joe Schwartz, Brooklyn Tricycle Gang, n.d. (1930s-1940s)

saw this today too and it might be the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on TV. repulsive, hideous, soulless people running a broken country.

Woodrell was incredible--one of the best American novelists, and his prose was so vibrant and painstakingly detailed and strange. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o...

all very nice but this is THE definitive answer #talktalk #thecolourofspring #spiritofeden #laughingstock

This was FAR cleaner than I predicted. I need to start swearing a LOT fucking more.

Cabbage is affordable, delicious, and astoundingly versatile, @giladedelman.bsky.social writes. The underrated crucifer “is fit for a king”:

A movie that takes place where you're from... I could take the easy way out and post a shot of Dorothy Gale, but instead I'll do this one: Candace Hilligoss crawling up from Lawrence's Kansas River in CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962), and my friend Alex, somewhere around that same spot (2023).

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Rare is the perfect photograph, a photograph that is both literal and metaphor, a photograph that fills the void where a person should be.

I know we say this all the time so it’s become cliche, but can you imagine the hysteria that would be happening right now with Republicans if Obama did the exact same thing to the inside and outside of the WH that Trump is doing? It would be 24/7 on Fox for months. We all know why.

This.

I'm so sick of hearing about AI. I'm sick of the dumb videos, sick of the people who make excuses like "I'm basic and have no talent! Why shouldn't I be able to make stupid crap with a ten second life-span?" I need a break.

the planet just seems suddenly all wrong, knowing it lacks Diane Keaton chilling somewhere, all high-collared layers and hats and that personality, telling her incredible and self-deprecating tales of Hollywood's glory days
