Night shift in the intracoastal waterway, New Orleans

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Just because you CAN pickle something doesn't mean you should.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Great to spend time with IBEW Local 1 members and their families for a barbecue in Franklin County this afternoon. Life is better in a union! #TeamWellman #UnionStrong #Missouri #JoinAUnion

Cancellation Week just got easier! Bye, Vox! Bye, NY Magazine.

Update: the five minutes it took me to open this gorgeous '22 Seghesio zinfandel was totally worth it.

Holy shit I just spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to open a screw- top wine bottle with a corkscrew. It's time for my living to be assisted.

My mom whenever we start a movie on Prime: "I'm so goddamn tired of seeing that stupid dick arrow."

I didn't know it was possible to love Widow's Bay any more than I already do, and then THIS happened!!!!!!

the painting in Cooper’s photo was created by Alison Friend! you can find more of her work here: alisonfriend.com

My AI girlfriend dumped me is simply something you could not waterboard out of me

The 85 y.o. gal I drive to medical appointments today referred to JD Vance as "Side Caesar." I'm sure this nickname isn't new, but it's the first time I heard it & twas very funny to hear her unleash against the administration. She has no fucks left. I adore her.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

We in Missouri are living in a Schroedinger's box as to what maps apply for upcoming Aug and Nov elections bc SOS won't do his job. It is entirely a quandary of Hoskins' making that might lead to Aug primaries using the unconstitutional mid-decade maps and Nov general using the 2021 maps.

Gavin still needs a foster home, btw.

Another New Brighton painting. Today I painted a companion piece to yesterday’s seaside shelter - focussing on the fort, and extending as far as the lighthouse. Painted on a wooden board. #painting #Wirral

I am extremely thrilled that McSweeney's published these immensely silly and gross words I wrote!

There are five shows in Knoxville. They all have less than 15 tickets each. It’s a small, intimate space. The shows will be lighthearted and fun. Also will have discounted merch. Yay. www.adeemtheartist.com/tour for tickets to the in-person shows.

Hi, I am leaving Knoxville soon. It’s been a long time coming and it’s bittersweet. I’ll be playing a few shows to reflect on before I prepare for the next era. The purpose of these is multi-part. 1) I am moving. To a new town, to a new season of life, to a new season of music.

Black Voters Matter event-Tamm Ave Overpass this Saturday! mobilize.us/s/rx6lYB

people are all mentioning the same contemp stuff here and they are right (Simpson, Musgraves, Childers, Isbell, etc) but I’ll shout out someone who’s both very talented, undersung, and also here on Bluesky: @adeemtheartist.bsky.social my personal favorite of theirs is “Going to Hell”, it’s a banger

Lots of developments in the Missouri redistricting saga after yesterday's big court decisions. The most notable may be Boone County Clerk Brianna Lennon telling SOS Denny Hoskins that her residents will vote under the old maps until Hoskins makes a decision on the referendum:

In the Missouri legislature today, both chambers are debating bill language that would put more guns in our schools. The proposal to create a program for something called "Missouri Rangers"--a program to designate a new group of people who'd be able to carry firearms onto school property.

🚨🚨Attention, fellow Missourians! Important meeting tonight at 5 pm 🚨🚨 Join this event: mobilize.us/s/aNzeOZ

They're rewriting the law books to resegregate the country. patreon.com/BrianMcFadden

Because I was recently reminded of this excellent talk, I feel I must share Steve Almond's wonderful deconstruction of Toto's "Africa" with those of you who still remain uninitiated. Trust me, it's well worth 10 minutes of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3fx...

The Payback is out in paperback today, it’s the same great student loan industry heist novel in a smaller size and lower price. www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pa...

the return of the McRib is a depression indicator

I’m going to try out an idea this Friday By hosting an album release event For “notes from inside” In Knoxville, tn There are 12 tickets available www.adeemtheartist.com/tour

I saw Adeem on Sat & can't say enough good things. They're an incredible songwriter/singer/musician/storyteller/even comedian, maybe? Could've listened to them sing & muse all night. "Artist" is spot on. And, I love what they stand for.  Go see Adeem ASAP.  You won't be disappointed.

"And in 1920, they had twice the sperm of THAT. And in the 1850s, men? HEAD TO TOE SPERM. THE CIVIL WAR WAS FOUGHT BETWEEN SPERM. What were we talking about?"

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

PSA: If you're looking for a new dessert, try these lemon bars. We had them yesterday for Mother's Day. I normally turn my nose up at lemon poppyseed items, but these were DE-lish. cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1026...

If Ann Wagner won’t listen to the people she represents, we will. The Wellman campaign is collecting real stories from families across #Missouri — about rising costs, healthcare, benefits, jobs, and the moments government either let you down or helped you get by.

Rage can be sacred when it refuses cruelty. May ours stay rooted in love, dignity, and the work of repair.

Good shirt tbh (benefits @psabortionfund.bsky.social)

If your mom is hard to buy for mine, may I suggest a bottle of gasoline?

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now
