All beavers are NICE beavers.

We're just one store & I don't know if we're representative of everywhere in retail, but ever since ICE started its massive hiring campaign with higher pay and signing bonuses, we're finding it MUCH harder to recruit young, alienated sociopaths who are a danger to customers and other associates.

I noticed that several folks that I am fond of have birthdays today; Sarah Polley, Stephen Hawking, David Bowie, Soupy Sales, Junichiro Koizumi, Boris Vallejo, José Ferrer, Elvis Presley, Roy Kinnear, Ron Moody, William Hartnell, Shirley Bassey, and Larry Storch. Neat group.

Me at the deli today, hey, more Mayo; make it gross.

oh my god

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

Remember, all the people you step on while you’re on your way up…you get to step on them again on your way down!

Love this design; it accommodates a variety of learning styles, but I feel like the best accommodation is the elementary school classroom with only 13 students depicted in the examples.

I’m just waiting for Jay Hulme’s take on this. @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social

The Blue Wave has obliterated so much of the usual stuff I see on my feed that the date just occurred to me.

Well, hell. Looks like I'm going to need to drink more coffee. Dick Cheney died and I'm going to need a full bladder for the funeral.

Hey everyone! Can I get 50 reposts for this program? It would mean a lot! www.jccsf.org/event/michae... #RecipesfromtheAmericanSouth

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Trektober 30 - The women of Star Trek fandom! Star Trek has a long history of fandom (One of the first!) and women are such an integral part of it that I thought I would highlight some of them! (Long thread upcoming)

Ever once in a while I think to thank @rblademaker.bsky.social for the clever cleaver I’m about to sink into this rack of ribs.

A 10-millionth visitor to the Rijksmuseum of Netherlands was allowed to spend the night at Rembrandt's painting "Night Watch" with a bottle of wine and dinner.

Everything reminds me of her

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

The best revenges: 1) a life well lived 2) poison

I'd just moved back home from Japan and was emotionally adrift; my pal suggested I go to a comics co-op at our local comic store and at like, the third meeting, Mike Mignola walks in and talks to the group. It was dandy to meet one of my funny book heroes. @mikemignola.bsky.social

Tom Tomorrow is doing a kickstarter for his new collection; I've been a fan forever, happy to help out. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Cannot stress enough that if you enjoy my posts here on BlueSky I am also among the MANY MANY independent producers, journalists, critics, etc whose work is currently being **BURIED** by YouTube's terrible slop-churning algorithm. We need your support and signal boosting 🙏👍 youtu.be/jSo5TeCNifk?...

Bob has chunked up at least two more seasons of his annual Schlocktober run; if you like cheesy movies, this is right up your alley.

guys, we have a tone shift

Finally, a diagnosis.

She nails it. 🔥 I’ll just add one thing: Emmett Till’s mother’s choice was for a reason.

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
