Happy Birthday to legendary Ohioan Kim Deal. Pictured here with a random fan.

Tomorrow!

You are only a real New Yorker if your ancestors fought alongside William Poole's Bowery Boys to drive the Irish papists out of the Five Points.

franklin county owns the columbus clippers and it rocks

@blanksss.bsky.social I watched To Die For (1995) tonight and there are a lot of yellow fits that seemed like they'd be up your alley

Amid all the hand-wringing about progressives not having a compelling vision of masculinity, it strikes me that being a good dad has never been more liberal/left-coded in the US than it is today.

I am obsessed with this finalist in this year's Michigan “I voted” sticker design contest

The UC Berkeley IGS poll is out! Becerra 25 Hilton 21 Steyer 19 Californians: it is your patriotic duty to vote for Steyer to give us a Becerra/Steyer matchup so we can depress Republican turnout for every congressional and down ballot race in the state. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Nobody Does It Better You Only Live Twice You Know My Name Honorable Mention: A View to a Kill

After having seen STAR WARS 500 times as a kid, I remember having my mind blown learning that the entire "the death star is about to blow up the rebel base as its being attacked" beat of the ending was invented in the editing room using outtakes and ADR. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

vacations are awesome because you don’t even have to go to work or anything like that. you can just hang out and do whatever

It would be good to have a secret set of "here's the radical sets of policies we're gonna take once we're in office so we can coordinate on implementation ahead of time" documents too but if you call them "Project 2029" they will not be secret and instead will be widely discussed.

Dems made "Project 2025" famous in 2024, telling the correct story that it was a hidden document full of nefarious plans to take over the country with unpopular policies. That's precisely why whatever the Dems call "Project 2029" should prob be a bunch of anodyne poll-tested popular shit tho

amazing this is not a skit

I think it was a copy of Starcraft off of Ebay.

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

all this stuff is just barely-veiled code for "talarico is a [f-slur] and you're one too if you vote for him"

For Sale: Subaru Outback Never Driven

Turns out PED use doesn't magically turn you into superman. Something for the major league baseball pearl clutchers to consider.

This is what the antivax movement does to kids. You are under no obligation to kowtow to these people when they try to impose their delusionals on your school districts or anywhere else.

@senatormeow.bsky.social thinking it's a good day to put on the Persona 5 soundtrack and make coffee

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

San Diego fell from 5th to 12th most expensive rental market by building more multifamily housing per capita than any other California city. This is what happens when you actually build. The lesson isn't complicated. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/13/s...

saw a bunch of people on here confidently declare that the democrats would "rotating villain" find another no vote to join fetterman rather than pass this!

Loui's in Hazel Park, MI. To me, the best pizza in the world is going to also be the best Detroit-style pizza in the world, and this is the best of those I've had. (photo swiped from their official FB page)

Cassidy’s vote to convict Trump turned out to be mostly symbolic (not his fault. McConnell couldn’t muster the votes). But his vote to confirm RFK Jr. will have real world consequences. Children will die from measles. Parents will be afraid to get their kids screened for autism.

After Carvana dissolved, one of the VPs founded a new company named Foo Drivers

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

remember: his hands look like this so the gas pump can look like this

If you're very online you might think that men are in some kind misogynistic death spiral -- but new data tell a really different story about a cultural transformation among some men. I wrote a little about it today: www.axios.com/2026/05/15/f...

My absolute favorite part of this video is all the guys who say “What is this?” You can definitely tell they were not warned to expect Elmo.

"Yeah!" by Usher

I don't know if @aoc.bsky.social's told this story about orientation before, but I've never heard it

Former Franklin Co. Sheriff's Deputy Jason Meade found guilty on reckless homicide charge

Let's gooooo

The Phantom Menace is the best of the prequel movies by a significant margin. Not only does it have the coolest individual parts (Darth Maul fight, pod racing sound design, battle of naboo), it benefits from having the lowest stakes of any of them.

I am once again tapping the "it is a genuine qualitative break from 99.9% of human history that society can now produce massive food surpluses with the labor only a tiny percent of the population and nobody has any idea how to grasp this" sign.

Whoever is in charge of designing the fake PS2 games for IKEA is doing a fantastic job and deserves a raise

Bring back the ancient knowledge

“The Rock getting a ticket” is a very funny image

These are as fun as you think they'd be.
