Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

A little known fact is that the scientific name for the minimum possible quantum of integrity is "the Tillis".

Heartbreaking to see what the Supreme Court's college admissions ruling has done to my alma mater, Amherst College.

Snubs JD Vance. Dunks on JD Vance. "My work is done here, time to go home."

That drummer guy. Jeff. Tom. Bobby. Roy. George. Hey Del. We would like to cover one of your songs. What was that like?

We have a situation on 52d

45 years ago on April 5, 1980, the band played their first show at friend Kathleen O'Brien's birthday party. Sandra Lee Phipps took these photos that historic night in Athens at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Oconee Street.

April Fools Day can fuck right off.

Been thinking about barbecue lately…

BREAKING: The Monitors were just hacked at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to display an AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk’s toes. The caption over it read: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

Ok so things may get worse but they can't possibly get any *stupider* so at least there's that

Just an absolute hooper 🏀

Firing off a HOT email to my US Senator (Tillis, not Witllis):

If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.

I have a law joke I would like to submit to fellow Mammoths @adambonin.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social for review, critique, etc: This guy Donald thinks he can just erase parts of the 14th amendment he doesn't like. Who does he think he is, John Roberts?

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is an anti-science activist group. They lie every year about “harms” of conventionally-grown produce with their Dirty Dozen list - solely for profit. BUT EWG ALSO propagated the lie that vaccines cause autism. 1/
