i went to Batman v Superman on opening night with a bunch of comic nerds who just got quieter and quieter as it went on. we waited IN LINE for that.

LOL

The bar is run by the Philadelphia police association.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

Of all the things I have heard said about Tyra Banks, this might be the most devastating? You have to leave a very particular mark on people for them to say THIS about you.

Pretty bad look when a centuries old hereditary monarchy is more accountable than rich people here!

Our ocean faces many crises simultaneously, and the solution to most of them will not be a new technology, but new and more and stronger laws based on data and evidence. But sure there are some places were new tech can help. I listed some. Did I miss any?

thanks for your guesses everyone, the katrinkles prompt customer service tells me it's a sew-on tag

Hey #knitsky what do we think wooden heart things are in my katrinkles gift subscription? It doesn’t seem functional as a button 🧶

This is one of those areas where California can (and will) hold the line, simply due to how many cars get sold in this state. I remember the smog as a kid, and I’m sure plenty of others do too. We’re not going back to that.

gosh i'm sorry that we live in a time of increasing fascism and that's not super inspiring to vote against! jfc

The nice people at Playboy asked me to write something about the good parts about being married, and I was happy to. :)

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true: There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all. The system does not hold people accountable.

love my friends who do not follow olympics coverage so when I was telling them about Quad God they assumed I had made that up

new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back www.vg.no/sport/i/vr5g...

thinking about how art has so much more impact if you make it really specific instead of trying to cater to a general audience

i have read enough Discourse about the bad bunny super bowl and would just like more memes about how attractive he is, ty

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

In 2014, New York City lowered its citywide default speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph. In the year that followed: - Traffic fatalities fell by more than 22 percent - Pedestrian fatalities fell by more than 25 percent transalt.org/reports-list...

Weird that team USA is in a super Norwegian 8-point star motif (and as a knitter their hats look ill fitting!!)

I love the Olympics

anyway it is international clash day at KEXP, and I'm alone in the office so I get to yell FREEDOMMMM YEAHHH as much as I need to kexp.org

need to gripe to #knitsky that i had the worst LYS experience of my life in Arizona recently. the clerk and her friend never said hello to me, the yarn was sparsely stocked, and when I tried to buy a copy of Laine magazine she told me it wasn't for sale.

i know we've all got a lot going on but for the love of god why would you take my google drive document and send it back as a docx attachment

Congestion pricing is an unqualified success in NYC. It would be great to see it expanded to every city with decent public transit options. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I am obviously going to be skeptical here, but I am sure the administration will use this to promote the falsehood that there is widespread SNAP fraud. Bear in mind that $7 million represents .27% of the annual Massachusetts SNAP budget.

he also kind of gets everyone's asses again in this follow up with the washington post

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.
