the guy who caught cal raleigh’s homer was wearing a shirt that said dump 61 here and he immediately took it off and had a shirt that said dump 62 here

"With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport."

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

It's kind of wild that crypto scammers became *the single biggest source of political donations* in the last US election and barely anyone even noticed. These dipshits basically own both parties now and are getting whatever they want and there's been zero (0) public deliberation or debate about it.

Jimmy Fallon is a coward.

Me, experiencing a moment of temporary professional bliss and using a common figure of speech: I'd do this job for free. The magical bird that landed outside my window one moment ago: I will grant this, his greatest wish.

You'll be shocked to learn New College of Florida is on the brink of implosion just a couple of years after DeSantis engineered an extreme right-wing takeover Fun fact: NCF's new overlords spend $134K per student (!!...the average at other FL publics is $10K) www.insidehighered.com/news/governa...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Hi Donald!

fewer than 1% of the human population will ever get to type a comeback as contextually devastating as this

A magnificent new champion for Aotearoa! Fast, fierce, and fearless. Of the top 10 birds, only 2 are listed as "doing ok" - the rest are all "in serious trouble", including our wonderful falcon. 😳 www.forestandbird.org.nz/resources/ka...

They don't imagine themselves sexist. They don't imagine themselves racist. But fear of cities & what they represent (which is to say, a great mass of strangers of all kinds) they will admit to instantly & implacably, & above all they hate that their taxes go to subsidize it

Same people, different lived environments

Three major crashes today on roads where the current NZ govt *increased* the speed limit (previously lowered for safety reasons) in pursuit of "productivity"? Serious injuries. Lengthy closures. Costly disruptions to lives, whānau, the transport network, our health system. This is not productive. 😞

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Just to let you know I won’t be attending the Riyadh Copyediting Festival.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

I swear to dog I read this as "Weird *AL*" and was really confused for a minute. Then I figured it out and I'm still confused but about different things now

it may feel a little like homework, but i genuinely think people should read the lincoln-douglas debates to see what the practical politics of anti-slavery looked like in an environment where the public was neutral to hostile to the question of emancipation

the thing about cognitive decline is that humans are incredibly good at masking it, intentionally or not, and do so almost obligatorily; one of the issues with research into this is that you really only get subjects who are VERY impaired, because that's when it's obvious

gentle reminder for anyone who is anticipating the need for caramelized onions later this week: you should probably start now

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

My spouse has this thing he calls “grasshopper moments” —from when he was a kid and he realized that grasshoppers are called that because they hop in the grass. I was today years old when I realized that quart is short for a quarter of a gallon. As in a quart of milk. I have a PhD.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

@grumpyyetamusin.bsky.social, if you’ve never been to Cleveland, Ohio, you’re overdue a wee visit to their remarkable Museum of Art’s #Egyptian room

"edgelord" is such a great coinage, because it sounds as if it's about to describe something really stupid and then it does

They don’t bother contacting families when they shuttle migrants to facilities hundreds of miles away, or when they deport them to third countries. So yeah, this sounds right.

Look what we have here then.

Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered the next kids' book, DEAD ENDS! There's still some signed copies available from @mysteriousbookshop.com, if you're interested. It's so hard to cut through the noise at the moment, so @tealcartoons.bsky.social and I really appreciate your support. 👇

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Since 2016, at least nine current and former security guards and a cashier have sued the Fine Arts Museums, alleging a decade-long pattern of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation... The city has doled out more than $1 million across seven settlements. sfstandard.com/2025/09/24/l...

As I was saying…

So @jimmykimmel.com's first words back tonight--"As I was saying..."-- were an homage to Tonight Show host Jack Paar, who used those words when he returned after walking out on his show in a censorship dispute with NBC. From 65 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhQ...

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

Something I think we’re not talking about enough with all this autism bullshit is how, no matter what, it’s always blamed on the pregnant mother.

With a daughter at J. Pace in Saugus, #MA, schooling her in the food of our people!

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
