Scottish soccer fans in town for the World Cup made a side-trip to Fenway on Sunday and brought actual magic with them. It was such a delight and honor to get to accompany their singing.

today I discovered this incredible story of a minor league pitcher who is 6'4 wears glasses and a ginger beard who hurt his elbow and went to the doc for Tommy John surgery and was mistaken for a pitcher from a diff team who was also there for TJ surgery on same day anyway heres their pics and names

This is probably the most traditional possible behavior for the family of a pope.

In case you missed this 2024 story: Scientists are building FROG SAUNAS, and it's letting one species of endangered frogs rid themselves of a deadly fungal pathogen. Also, they appear to just, like, enjoy it. Frog sauna. Or 'frauna'. Or, alternatively, 'hopspital'.

*Wemby senses a protest and starts setting things on fire* His teammates: No! This isn't France!

What if it happened on the Jumbotron

what if while trump is courtside victor wembanyama just leans down and eats his whole head. gulps the whole thing down tootsie pop owl style. and then explains that’s why he was sent here, blinks his eyes sideways and flies out of MSG and away into the night sky

tell them there’s a sex criminal in the building

Gotta love NYC 💙🧡

Several years after this tweet entered the internet hall of fame, I learned that I knew the writer in college, and I can only equate it to how people in Chicago felt when their old buddy Bob was elected Pope.

Na na na na na na bat dog

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

porque no los tres <preens>

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

I am enjoying every part of Belfast except the food, which has so far ranged from acceptable to possibly a hate crime.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

"real change doesn't happen in the voting booth" is in fact a fascist belief

I had the honor to introduce my replacement on 9NEWS

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

“I was just following otters.”

kinda powerful when grannies who never cuss say fuck though

This whole thing is incredible, but look how his hand is shaking when he points at the guys who are being hassled. He's scared, he's angry, he's pounding with adrenaline, but he's maintaining control of himself and not backing down. He's taking a stand, whatever the cost.

point of order, not even the most high-strung human alive is as good at being stressed out as the average horse

"How do we get back the men we lost to Trump, Andrew Tate, and the Proud Boys?" Please do not bring those weird ****ers over here. We have kids over here. I will call Child Services.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

sherman, for the love of god!

Given the times and what Redford looked like, the amount of heinous shit he could've gotten away with is unfathomable, but he spent his career being respectful and professional

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

There are lots of great things to be said about Robert Redford - which is more than you can say about a lot of folks - and they're all very important. But none of them are as momentous as the fact that he was so, so, so, so, so hot.

Okay now this is impressive! Sound on!

Natural suspension. #bluesky

My brother did not ask me to do this, nor did he know I was going to, but I made him a mashed potato volcano for his birthday. The number of potatoes this required was shocking but otherwise it was relatively simple to do. A side effect is a freezer full of leftover mashed potatoes.

if my partner and i ever up in a dispute we try to resolve by posting on instagram at each other that the other needs to leave our house, i would ask one of you to forcibly remove me to some part of the world without mobile coverage or electricity

When you start a sentence with "Last time I left and filed for divorce..." probably things aren't going too well.

Beth is the best. I've known them for years and they are so smart, so thoughtful, and so caring. They also understand literally everything about technology, and we need more people in Congress of whom that's true.

Went birding at LaBagh Woods, Nature Preserve in Chicago yesterday and saw this dog living his best wild life.

whatever is in the sea is simply not my business

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Pasadena knows.

Hey I just met you and I'm a whale But here's my number So call me, Ishmael

Regarding Senate Democrats: I think maybe these dipshits think all the people mad at them are just online leftists or whatever and don't realize how much the normie suburban moms in their base are absolutely livid

I was on a virtual town hall with an Oregon House rep yesterday and our AG was there, and he says all the Democrat AGs have been meeting EVERY DAY to go over the latest shit and strategize, and that gave me like such a visceral sense of “oh thank god there really are elected Dems on top of this”

Many federal workers are resisting in quiet as well as not-so-quiet ways, and in many cases their commitment to each other and their mission is really moving and inspiring. I was with a bunch of them at a demonstration in front of Tesla last night in San Francisco.

For example, I saw someone who has a rafting company post about how their business is falling apart because the park service won't let them schedule trips, so they're not buying supplies from their supplies, and so forth--a demonstration of the chain reaction of wrecking the federal government.

Whatever your politics, to find your air travel is unsafe, your national parks are not functioning, your kid's education is unraveling, that services and functions you took for granted are unraveling is going to have an impact. Communicating why and what to do about it is key.

Follow us, share our stuff, add stuff we should know about. What I know now is THERE IS A LOT GOING ON, and we want you to know it. There's strength in seeing that we're not alone, not all passive in the face of this.... bsky.app/profile/resi...

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.
