I really wish you could've experienced the bar performer I just saw: imagine Bob Dylan. No, imagine Jimmy Fallon doing a bob Dylan impression, and he's performing the Great-value cover song version of "Zombie" by the Cranberries.

"The migratory #goth – Gothius Morbidius, to give it the correct Latin name – returns to #Whitby twice a year to engage in complex social rituals including drinking Cider & Black and parading their fine black-on-black plumage along the front."

Yeah parenthood is challenging, but then your 3-year-old just starts singing the "Aaaah-ooooo" part in Werewolves of London with you in the car one day.

My very favorite podcast is Revolutions. I was just tickled to see that the host, Mike Duncan, did an interview with Rolling Stone about this particular moment in American politics. I disagree with some of the take aways, but enjoyed reading it nonetheless: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

"All governments rely on cooperation and obedience for their very existence. When people choose to withhold or withdraw that cooperation, governments are left without any pillars to support their weight."

First of all: have these agents had ANY real training? But moreover, I feel like this level of open defiance and interference will become more frequent and widespread in coming months, until there's some powderkeg moment that the people turnout en masse to harass the government

Watching the Devo documentary on Netflix. When you realize they were at the Kent State shooting, and knew some of the students who were shot by the National Guard, it really contextualizes their esoteric, detached weirdness.

History repeats.

Blue collar work music in all its myriad forms is absolutely my favorite genre. I had an A/C guy who installed some new duct work while singing to Poison one Florida summer, and I've never been the same

When Taylor Swift says bullshit like "looking fire" or "keeping it 100", and ma'am you are 35 years old...

The new Taylor Swift album is like that friend you had who got into a relationship and became absolutely insufferable. Like, I am *so* happy for you girl, but I don't need to hear about his redwood trees

Where am I? I’m at the government shutdown. I’m at the Taylor Swift album release. I’m at the combination government shutdown and Taylor Swift album release 🕺🪩

There are so many lamentable things about this administration, not least of which is it's forcing me to agree with the libertarians

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Sometimes I call my partner's Fantasy Football league "Imaginary Sportsball Team" like I can't remember the actual name, and I love the mixture of annoyance and "I'm not going to take the bait," that crosses his face.

Two hours later: man, this Tylenol ain't shit. I guess I'll just go back to what I normally do as a neurotypical person, reorganizing my record collection by the key of the opening track.

Me, to my partner this morning: If this is the last time I see you because it's #RaptureDay, I guess we'll finally know which one of us was too good for the other.

As someone with a deep, hyper-focused academic interest in the French Revolution and a comical lack of social know-how who took a fair amount of Tylenol during my pregnancy... Let me tell you, the irony of being the progenitor of the world's most charming and gregarious 3 year old.

If ever there was a perfect "Ma'am to this is a Wendy's..."

As a consequence of climate change, the Mariah thaw happens earlier each year...

When the faculty meeting is almost over and that one co-worker has a question:

Even though we're all big mad at Disney, I just watched Paradise on Hulu and it was not at all what I expected, and really good.

There's a certain irony to the "All he wanted was civil discourse" crowd getting a talk show host yanked from the air.

They're going to have to turn this into a live action movie starring Nicholas Cage. www.gamespot.com/articles/a-h...

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

Legend.

Even the aliens out here trying to distract from the Epstein files. www.npr.org/2025/09/10/n...

I'm sure there are actual stats about the number of mass shooters on antidepressants already, but it seems like everytime there's a school shooter everyone's all "We knew he needed help..." Maybe let's not demonize things that could actually help people cope, heal, or want to survive another day

I don’t truly believe it would be better to be oblivious to everything going on right now and just live like a dullard but I do wish I had a dullard setting that I could toggle off and on

The National exists as a band just to soundtrack unexpectedly bumping into your college boyfriend.

Look, I know Florida is a weird place, but nothing will prepare an outsider for the way we act like Fall is here when the temperature drops to 89. If the humidity is below 75%, some McKaely somewhere is dusting off the knee-high boots

Tapping the sign

Tomorrow is the official first day of school. I, once again, have achieved the teacher trifecta: having a Braedyn, Jaiden, and Caydin in the same class period. Good luck, colleagues.

OpenAI: we’re giving you PhD-level expertise in your pocket! Everyone with PhDs: I know exactly who you’re automating and I hate him

Well, today marks the end of Teacher Summer, and like I always do, I've made a back to school playlist to help me get hyped for waking up at 5am and commuting across town again open.spotify.com/playlist/04a...

August is here, which means Back to School is officially upon us! I'm starting year 19 teaching high school European History. Please help #clearthelist , if you are so inclined; it is so incredibly helpful and appreciated. Thank you www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I need an add-on or filtering setting for all the online clothing retail apps called "Don't fucking show me that unless it has usable pockets, I mean it"

What athlete’s expression will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Representation matters to everyone.

A classic coordination failure: everyone makes excuses for why they go along with authoritarianism rather than resisting. And democracy and the rule of law crumble. We thought our institutions and culture were stronger, but we are following Hungary's path.

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

At a concert tonight for mid-life folks, and I'm telling you the Coldplay incident has these old fellas SHOOK

Not Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham making all the 20-somethings think about texting their toxic ex. Y'all, stop.

Sure, everyone has their favorite Beatles...but only the truly unhinged have a favorite Fleetwood Mac.

So optimistic to think when this is over we'll still have books.

Imagine you're running around on your spouse, and the person you're cheating with is like " Wouldn't it be hot if we went to a Coldplay concert together like it's 2005?"
