Breaking News: Giant mantis spotted in field! Photo taken by @captainpooky.bsky.social Edit @kingzut.bsky.social

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

LEGO GNOME!!!

"We had whistles. They had guns."

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

This is the midwest level of petty passive aggressiveness I love to see. Do you have any idea how awful you have to be for midwesterners to refuse to help you in winter weather?

Yes because trust me, I absolutely did that more than once. 😂 SOMEONE BASICALLY MATERIALIZED FROM THE CORN FIELDS

Timeline Cleanse: I'm back to building gardens

I have been summoned for jury duty for a 2nd time in my life....

Oh boy, this thread. ☠️☠️☠️ It pays to be careful about what you consume!

Search results seem to be behind by 3ish hours. Team is looking into it

do you have some walking around money and want to have an accessory AND raise money for a good cause? I’m donating 60% of my chainmail earnings for the next week and change to MIRAC. excidiummetals.bigcartel.com

Kyle Rittenhouse, more or less just saying "and I'll do it again," is the least surprising thing out of this. Feels like we're speedrunning George Floyd's murder all over again...

SHE HAD A WIFE WHO WAS IN THE CAR WITH HER WHEN IT HAPPENED!!! THE BOY IS NOT AN ORPHAN!!! STOP ERASING QUEER PEOPLE!!!

i'm not being mean to you... truth is a love too valuable to miss

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

The same people spent the last decade justifying Black folks being choked to death on camera… they’ve been practicing

Even if having “pronouns in her bio” were a bad thing, the shooter wasn’t looking at her bio, he was looking at her FUCKING FACE. DID SHE HAVE PRONOUNS ON HER FUCKING FACE, YOU NAZI FUCK?

Everyone says when you get older, you'll get more conservative, and here I am being Bob Ross, but instead of oil paints, it's Legos.

Timeline Cleanse: I'm making a Lego Tree

both of my children received their recorders in different music classes on the same day and i feel like i am being personally punished by the gods

There haven't been this many helicopters circling my neighborhood since George Floyd.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

Everyone has at least one Lego set that they would buy and put together if money were not an issue.

UPS Guy: Got a package for you....it's Legos Me: Oh great UPS Guy: Did they come out with a bunch of new sets or something? Me: Yes, on January 1st. UPS Guy: That would explain all the other Lego deliveries I have made. I'll have to check it out.

Is it just me, or does his skin have a greenish tinge to it?

Instead of trying him for treason and, IDK, at minimum barring him from ever running for office again, the powers that be decided it was just an oopsie-doodle and he should be given another chance to be President. And here we are.

Five years ago today, Trump attempted to hold onto power by asking his supporters to seize the capitol and assassinate his VP and congressional leaders.

Record companies were forced to stick parental advisory stickers on their albums and had age restrictions on who could buy those despite the lack of data linking violence to music, but this just keeps getting a pass?

“we are going to viciously Main Character people over innocuous shit” is maybe not the best way to get people to migrate away from the Generates CSAM At Will app

While we await new Lego sets to deliver, we are excited about attempting to hopelessly solve a murder that @maureenjohnsonbooks.com has given us. Wish us luck.

I was working at a theater showing Phantom Menace and I hated that fucking Rob Thomas Santana song

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

People are mad at this guy because he made an analogy that a lot of people related to (myself included) and while it's not a perfect analogy I would like to remind everyone being critical of it that not everyone can be Terry fucking Pratchett.

Elegant

I hope the Dragon Quest guy that everyone is mad at today at least found lots of people to talk about Dragon Quest with.

I TOLD YOU BRO. I FUCKIN WARNED YOU DAWG

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Animal Crackers is also available on Wikipedia.

My other New Years resolution was to finally get my spare Lego pieces sorted into a better container system. My motivation is that I won't start a new set until I finish this. So here we are.

I finished the Lego aquarium. I made the fancy grilled cheese. Spouse helped by preparing the tomato roasted red pepper soup.

SIR!!!!

Finished, I named the big red fish Freddie and the blue guy Roger.

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean

For fucks sake Chuck I can acknowledge what happened in Venezuela is horrible and still be able to remember that the president probably fucked a teenager.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things
