the loft would be a little odd but bearable if the toilet wasn’t just…OUT THERE. Stuck between the staircase and the shower. Like a complete afterthought instead of one of the primary purposes for the room. Put it in a CUBICLE, please.

I just read a great book about this era and the depressing fact is absolutely nobody would cut McCarthy loose these days like Eisenhower did, because he’d be considered just too useful no matter how distasteful his methods (also that joke was stale in Washington by the time Eisenhower repeated it)

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

The purr-fect map

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

This is so fun

Aldi finds that go hard.

God bless whoever put up this pro-upzoning poster in Edgewater, please put up more

just did the math and I have spent a solid two and a half weeks of my life just playing Stardew Valley

I love it, but I did take a break months ago from my current save because I was trying to lay out my spring day 1 fields as optimally as possible with huts and iridium sprinklers and I kept doing it badly and wasting my time and having to restart without saving

Ellen being one of the most abusive bosses in the industry was a Weinstein-level open secret, for approximately as long

It also ignores that leaving was a form of influence! Millions sent a clear message about the minimum standards of fairness and respect we believe are foundational for civic conversation. Their obsession with our departure makes clear it was effectively communicated; they just don't like it

this exists it is called thinking

hell yeah, oldest rivalry in baseball

Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Meatloaf, Madonna, the Tubes, Jon Secada, Beethoven's 6th, or the Northern Exposure soundtrack album

I almost never post personal photos with faces anymore, I think because I'm aware locking isn't an option. I also post in a less personal-chronicle way for the same reason, though it's also just because I've shifted (I almost never post to FB/IG anymore)

I go away for ONE week and the mantises have taken control of the SquidGuard. smh.

you need cold, salt and a meal at the same time

Do not allow journos to retcon history like this. Olivia Nuzzi was fired because her fiance Ryan Lizza and her former employer New York Magazine found out she was sexting presidential candidate RFK Jr while she was reporting on the incumbent president Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

me: i want to sleep in a human-sized hotdog bun 911: sir that's.....ok actually that sounds great me: so who do we call 911: [shouting in background] we're checking now

this isn’t great but just to clarify, the vote was against giving all 4 vaccines in one shot versus two shots, not against giving the vaccines at all

no matter what politics other players have, only one guy of the 52 on the field on pride night felt the need to write something on his hat. if he wants to single himself out, then he should be singled out for his actions.

The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.

Not many people know this, but one of the powers that the Framers of the Constitution came THIS close to granting the President was the ability to decide who would host late night television shows. It's only thanks to Ben Franklin's last minute intervention that this was taken out of Article II.

finally

two pictures with the same vibe

Weird that free speech suddenly seems to have developed a cover charge and a bouncer

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

congrats to your grandma in heaven on finally being able to fulfill her fantasy of being eiffel towered by paul newman and robert redford

oh no I was looking for more context on a line from the Shakespeare I’m reading and accidentally got onto the site of someone who believes in one of the other author controversies

In memoriam I am sharing this recipe for a dessert the ladies in my neighborhood when I was a kid in the 80s always made for block events, and then would giggle about www.food.com/amp/recipe/robert-redford-dessert-422541

Robert Redford +Paul Newman + pingpong = perfection

My favourite Robert Redford story is the one about why he got rejected for the lead role in The Graduate. RIP to a real one.

In retrospect, it's wild how much the spring and summer of 2024 felt like the spring and summer of 2016: great new pop music, a sexy unbridled youth culture, a general feeling of social progressiveness despite the conservative rumblings. Like somehow we did Weimar Germany twice in 8 years.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

much more true than it used to be: legacy media outlets mostly only have the power that other influential people give them. No one watches Morning Joseph except Democratic members of Congress. Nobody has to care what's in the WaPo opinion section

Einbinder on saying 'free Palestine' during her Emmys speech: "It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state."
