If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Don't buy Starbucks ANYTHING while workers are on strike!

Absolutely epic news reporting here.

I wonder what subsequent crews of the Arthur M. Anderson felt when they first boarded.

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now

I still think the Punch Brothers' cover of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the best cover, but this one's really good too. That intro is {chef's kiss}.

❄️❄️SNOWING IT IS SNOWING❄️❄️

Happy Porch Fridge season to all who celebrate!

Oh! Oh!

Idea: a 'verse where David from WarGames grows up to be the dad in GalaxyQuest

Reader, I laughed. (Also doing that into snow looks HELLA fun.)

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

Public art is so important

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social I know he’s not a hound but surely yall have some Durham area followers in need of a new sweet pup.

@differentmatt.bsky.social I talked with a student the other day who said he transferred in from a school I'd probably never heard of and I said "try me"and he said "Kenyon" and I immediately blurted, "of course I've heard of Kenyon - Allison Janney went there!"

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Unsurprised to find Baldwin on this list 🙃

Made spanakopita from scratch. AMAZING.

WarGames is on the Roku Channel for those of you who are 40 and over and enjoy reliving the existential and global sociopolitical dread of your youth.

Some context to the viral videos: Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units. They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

so soothing

just spent actual money to buy a kinda ugly sweatshirt from my alma mater for the sole reason that it has the old logo and font on it and not the "updated" ones that look like we're a predatory for-profit eduscam maybe I can sell it to another pissed-off grad next year for a profit

if you don't have a crush on Emma Thompson are you even alive on this earth

biblically accurate cat

I've made two recipes from Rhubarb & Lavender in the last two weeks and they've both been delicious.

well, this is fucking terrifying

I’m sure the downturn in the soybean market has really made a dent in Scott Bessent’s $521 million net worth. He should go tour the Midwest and commiserate with all the other farmers who are suffering like him.

Librarians or others, would you like a helpful one-pager zine that you can print to let people know how to report ICE? Available for Chicago, DC, Philly, Portland, NYC, CA, CO, FL, DE, MA, MD, RI, VA, WA, WI, WY & other metro areas. Thanks @meganpiont.bsky.social drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Your Halloweeb costume is "sexy" + the last thing you googled. Sexy Convert Liters to Quarts

What's Latin for "shittier," the comparative word that describes your newly redesigned logo?

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

let's definitely fire all the scientists and let a turnip run HHS, then

oh these sweet babies

POTATO LEEK PIE

Why does every recipe I want to make require a stand mixer with a dough hook? (Yes, I know I can do it by hand. Guess I'll spend the afternoon kneading.)

Y’all pumped about joining in trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored?!

Amazing sign being held by a small child

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

I hate it here.

I got to take music lessons from someone I really admire and then made friends with one of her other students who lives in a different country than either of us.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

I was watching Jeopardy! with my parents in September and there was a clue no one got and the answer was, "what is a hoe?" Ken punctuated that with saying "now it's my turn to say it," so I had the absolute delight of showing this clip to my 79-year old mother. She laughed so hard she cried.
