I am re-reading Turtle Diary by Russell Hoban. It’s so lovely. This bit made me laugh. I would like to think I’ll remember to say “nations do not ascend on such tomatoes” next time I eat a disappointing one.

Asked and answered!!

Y’ALL. Algeria gear has sold out so fast in Lawrence, Kansas that it’s impossible to get — so now locals are just making their own shirts to support #LesVerts  🇩🇿❤️🌻💚⚽️ Someone posted their kid’s shirt design on Facebook today (LFK is Lawrence’s nickname: “Lawrence Fucking Kansas”) LOVE IT

blue sharks would dominate the charity bowl

It sure is

lifelong fan

FORWARD THE BLUE SHARKS

FOR DEATH AND GLORY TBQH

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

we missed peak culture

Dick Van Dyke should start complaining about how CBS show Diagnosis Murder could not be made today. The number of times he explicitly called for universal healthcare on that show. Also, the amount of pure comedy and nonsensical shit. Outstanding show. Long live Dick Van Dyke

would y’all look at the national portrait gallery-ass photo @glitterburrito.bsky.social took of my dog #hiSunny

ok this one got me

I wrote about the Reflecting Pool

y’all’s little quiz can’t scare me

I had no idea the president of Cornell was a soccer fan

speaking of latitude, I feel like this map should be general knowledge.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

British Foreign Minister Edward Grey in 1914:

Reminder: @repcohen.bsky.social just introduced articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts. You can call your rep and ask them to cosponsor the bill (HRes 1309) 202.224.3121 www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

you simply do not have to respect the legal opinions of anyone who tells you there is moderation on this court of any kind they are lying, naive, or both, and in any case their analysis is worse than useless

Glad that people are winning in court on these cases, but the people who fired them on such bogus charges should be directly held responsible for their reckless, costly behavior. www.npr.org/2026/06/23/n...

TL;DR - the federal government has no authority to create a national citizenship database and force states to use it to administer elections. USPS has no legal authority to issue binding regulations on mail-in voting, and the President can't force USPS to set any.

There is truly more that unites us than not

Cherish these moments. How often do you get to join a giraffe mystery already in progress

I fixed our garbage college football calendar, you're welcome channel-6.ghost.io/channel-6-on...

Yes, the latest Brendan Sorsby news arrived right as we pressed record. I forget what happened after that however

you're misunderstanding, they don't mean window units, that is how the 1997 classic Nicolas Cage movie "Con Air" was advertised in the UK. a nationwide airing of Con Air on all networks for the entirety of the summer, no matter how cool that movie is, it will not bring ambient temps down

Not everyone is going to like you. The important thing is to not like yourself

We should call him Kalen DeBoer the way it cost $57M for him to lose by 10 points

this is what every critique of the cass report said. i guess she finally got around to reading the responses?

You already got your renewed Camelot buddy. Most powerful Kennedy in office in many years married to a TV star and he’s busy mixing dog cum with chia seeds to “see what grows.”

Imaging sullying the first JP by making it share a case with these mutants. Shameful

British politicians really started treating PM like a semester abroad. They're gonna go away and learn about the culture of leadership and then come back with a weird prime minister accent even though they weren't gone that long

Sitting down and actually reading about how aid works in a context more sustained than hot takes on social media is a good start. Like this 2022 pre-MAGA 2.0 overview from Congress, for example: www.congress.gov/crs_external...

as a committed centrist, it saddens me that both parties are falling captive to their extremes - the right to insurrectionist cultists who want to invade american cities, and the left to socialists who want better bus service

This is such a good idea that I’m mad we’ve never done a show about it

Welp… abcnews.com/Health/milit...

I cannot speak to other regions but I can speak to mine and man, I'm not sure if people outside grasp the weight of DC electing its first democratic socialist mayor, did it in a field of SEVEN candidates in a RCV ballot & won by a margin that the main opponent lost his home ward by 21%

please look at my dog’s ear, this is an emergency #hiBetty

Looking forward, Democrats must modify party rules to prevent future unapproved candidates from winning primary elections with the underhanded strategy of “appealing to Democratic voters.”

someone has told these teams that if they stop moving they'll die

every war in human history has been won with bugs-bunny-in-drag tactics. thats not a joke its just fact

hell yeah, druid city brewing was just bestowed “best club/bar” in Tuscaloosa by TripAdvisor. if yall wanna show some love during the slow summer months, they have merch for everyone and some local pickup things: www.instagram.com/druidcitybre...

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

I will just say, from Oregon, that to me a big part of why Mamdani and Lander blew up on a national level was that their shared values, mutual respect and solidarity across faith traditions (even while running against each other!) was like everything beautiful about both New York and America

this is a very funny thing to have posted precisely two hours ago

RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat. An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.
