OK so maybe mitch is technically still alive, but look on the bright side: alive or dead, he's definitely having a bad time

Why is it Sunday night again? There should be a law banning it.

It feels ridiculous to be told my entire life the importance of reducing my energy usage and switching to stuff like LED bulbs and then read reports of energy prices spiking in many US communities due to data centers.

Ahhhhhhhh, horizontality.

At my funeral, please make sure to note that while I did not contribute to human progress in any way, at least I didn't stand in the way of it

Yes. And all of those people are on one side. The other side understands.

These people think this all a game and we come together and shake hands at the end.

This idea that a guy who caused incalculable human suffering and harm is deserving of any sympathy whatsoever is deranged.

Every Democrat who makes a statement of sympathy needs to be primaried. Every one.

I think it's hilarious that a media dude was like "You know how at your work half the employees are working to make life significantly worse for the majority of people in this country, but you are still coworkers so you develop a friendship?"

HOLD UP There's a CAT ADAPTED VERSION???

I appreciated this Wired review of this chair that I will almost certainly be buying and also I love that whoever created this graphic knows exactly who this chair is for www.wired.com/review/amsea...

I realize the point of a senate is to cultivate class & status solidarity against mass politics and what we're seeing are vestigial norms unsuited to our times, but it is embarrassing all the same to see someone fundraise against the right then vote to confirm live reactionaries & eulogize dead ones

it's hardly the worst sin of the Senate but a system of mandatory congeniality and formal friendliness only works if the body sees itself as unified in opposition to the rest of government; as it stands presently we get eulogies from opposition for their good friend, Part Of The Problem.

"We're killing the right people," Lindsay Graham snickers after murdering school children. But, you know, not disagreeable, per se. Just murderous, right @schiff.senate.gov?

My kingdom for a senator with a spine!

You should be allowed to book an appointment with a capybara if you need to talk about something that’s too long for your journal and too revealing for your friends.

THE WIZARD OF OZ taught us this lesson. Dance on the corpses of villains who shackled your ankles. Proclaim their demise with joy and celebration. It's the one victory we get after they spend a lifetime maintaining our suffering.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

I will say this for my parents, they didn’t police what I read. And that is how I read some deeply inappropriate things at a very young age. 😆

Oh fuck all the way off with this mealy mouth bullshit. Graham was a fascist, his words, actions, and votes harmed New Mexicans. If you cannot stand up for New Mexicans and call out the facist fuckery then get another goddamn job. Where your shitty actions don't matter.

What noise is this? Not dead? Not yet quite dead?

Remember if you live we win

it’s a pretty stunning reminder that actually elected leaders CAN make a material difference in people’s lives.

An elderly dog adopted from the NY rescue I volunteer for has ended up in the Miami-Dade shelter. We are trying to reunite her with her original adopter who is now in Tulsa, OK (1400 miles away)—can anyone help foster her in the Miami area while we arrange transport? And can anyone help drive?

Can yall stop draining the water in Black neighborhoods to mock up AI photos of M*tch McC*nnell? He’s killed enough of us as it is.

Happy birthday to Mavis Staples. Here are the Staple Singers with their version Slippery People by Talking Heads. Mavis has two shows lined up at London's Union Chapel next month

I don't know why we feel the need to offer consideration to "takes" that require an absolute failure of theory of mind to be taken seriously.

There should be books for people who like easy books, and books for people who like complicated books. This is called "meeting demand" and "finding your audience/market" and it's how you make money doing a thing.

This is so cute! There’s a picture of his older sister reading a babysitter’s club book to him!

Ann M. Martin (The Baby sitters club) on the Daily Show and Ronny Chieng geeking out because he read them all as a child, was not on my bingo card for 2026. Also a shout out to Graphic Novels and @goraina.bsky.social adaptations. youtu.be/QaVf2CwyZjY?

I only started to do the major cooking I needed to do today a little after 4 PM.

I did walk the dog today, but I didn’t do PT. Today was my day off PT, and there’s nothing you can do about it!

i’m sorry but ‘literally died of hard heartedness’ is the most hack writing yet in an already weak season

Working hard to do the evil things you believe in is not a virtue, it's actually worse than just believing in the evil things but not doing anything about it

I like how they all say like "he worked hard for the things he believed in" like that's not one of the worst things about him

Free healthcare would solve so many problems for people in this country. So many.

This is true. Our public health department is legitimately the best at tracing this stuff. Apparently they're known among other state health departments as "Team Diarrhea" (complimentary)

It’s 3:20 PM and I’ve eaten three lunches today.

Idk how the mainstream theory became teaching kids to guess what word comes next based on the picture would just somehow turn into fluent reading of text without pictures, a thing which makes no sense

Anyway please teach your kids phonics. I get that it seems weird to use phonics to learn to read English, a language with wildly inconsistent spelling, but it works and three cueing doesn't

I don't blame the kids & former kids who grew up with this educational model; it's not their fault they were failed by the educational system

Most of us learn how to understand & analyze a text in English class, but if you're struggling just to follow the structure of a sentence, you can't also learn the higher level skill of interpretation

I believe this is also a big part of why so many people can't understand complex storytelling in other media too, actually

I AM going to extrapolate, but with a citation. Three cueing reading instruction is why dated language and complex sentence structure is "hard to wrap your head around even as an adult." Kids were not actually taught HOW to read, and they are now adults who can only sort of read

Don't ever ask me if I've watched something. I have never watched anything. I am not even looking at you right now. My eyes are painted on the backs of my eyelids and I have been asleep this whole time.

I just got a pizza cut into 10 slices. That’s deranged.
